If they are local, maybe you can get a factory tour out of them, & a chance to discuss their engineering with them?

[@jsinope2786]

Oh. That would be brilliant!

[@jaydibernardo4320]

Great idea!

[@danw1955]

Absolutely! I'd personally like to see that. I didn't know this company existed until now, and I live right next door in New Mexico!😮

Factory tour from Sarah's perspective would be amazing.

[@TheDuckseason]

Btw you obviously don't do any research, the model x weights over 5,000lbs thats 2.6 tons genius and 2.1 for the 3 and im not comparing a sedan to a crossover pos.

[@kirkmarrie8060]

Your honest and non-biased reviews, coupled with your extensive research and ability to to break it down in plain English, has resulted in you being able to review more and more high end vehicles. You are definitely getting the attention of vehicle manufacturers. Kudos, girl!!! Hello, Elon.

[@Mike_Costello]

Someone has converted their Tesla Model S into a Shooting Brake.

[@Shimeih]

[@jghall00]

Lucid is basically on life support. The Saudi sovereign wealth fund is purchasing the stake it doesn't own. Lucid has to build vehicles that people actually want to purchase. As much as I love wagons, it would not be in the Company's best interest to go that route. Americans just don't buy them.

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

A tough looking high performance station wagon would be AWESOME. I haven't seen that done since the Dodge Magnum and I thought that car was ... SO BADD ASS.

[@hackfabrication139]

Sarah I told you about this car a long time ago and to review it! You did! Thank you so much. I knew you would love it. Yes its like a fighter jet on wheels. You can tell people but until they feel the G forces they wont understand . They just think its a sports car kind of fast. NO its on a whole different level than automobile. Im so glad you like it so much. It beat a Hayabusa motorcycle in a race for phug sake. Ya - you can watch it on KZbin. Tesla has NOTHING on this company. Everyone knows Tesla but Im telling you one day they will Know LUCID and realize that it is on a whole different level and in a class by itself. The fighter jet class. The Motors are DC not AC and 900 volts not 300 or 350, its 900 volts! It sets the bar! There is NOTHING else like it on the planet!

I certainly hope Lucid survives because some of the tech and engineering the company is coming up with is insane. Oh well designed cars too. Also would love for you to do a factory tour with an interview with the engineers. That would be fun to watch. And to add, I think the bears is suppose to signify where the company is headquartered (California). It looks like the bear on the CA state flag.

[@michaelmitten2977]

I'm so happy you got to review one!! I've owned their stock since before they went public. I would love to own one! Check out their Sapphire! That one really $hits and gits! But it will be $250K. Also they will have a 200 hp motor the size of a shoebox,. These cars are awesome.

[@bsmirnov]

Interesting, does it have a G-meter somewhere in the infotainment? Theoretically, 0-60mph in 2.6s means acceleration 1.05g - a bit faster then free fall. So, what you were doing @13:55 was similar to bungee jumping.

Most people aren't in the market for these, but it's nice to see another domestic manufacturer entering the ring. Competition makes everything better and Tesla hasn't had much until now. It wasn't long ago that Tesla made statements about how they could have longer product life cycles because they weren't incentivized to refresh, redesign, or improve. Lucid will have them reconsidering that position soon. This thing is obviously more expensive, but it's also innovative, rare, and totally drinking Tesla's milkshake.
