You can prowl through the Lucid story at https://lucidmotors.com/car, check out photos and even reserve a car. You’d shell out a $25,500 deposit to claim one of the initial 255 “Launch Edition” models or $2,500 for a “Standard” version. Final prices will be $160,000 for the Launch machines, around $100,000 for Standard. Lucid hints at a $65,000 model in the future.
All that for a car for which the factory has yet to be built. We want to believe it and we will when….........

Start-up automobile company Lucid Motors has a lot to live up to. Fortunately, Derek Jenkins is making it all look good.
