Lucid Gravity: Hipster Hotrod Minivan


Listen Later

Jon Summers is The Motoring Historian. He was a company car thrashing technology sales rep that turned into a fairly inept sports bike rider. On his show he gets together with various co-hosts to talk about new and old cars, driving, motorbikes, motor racing, motoring travel.

In this episode Jon provides an in-depth review of the new Lucid Gravity after attending a launch event at the Lucid plant in Newark, East Bay, San Francisco. Summers discusses his initial impressions of the vehicle's design, likening the rear to a stylish shooting brake and the front to a Chrysler minivan. Despite his reservations about electric vehicles lacking the 'grit' of traditional cars, he praises Lucid for their California-inspired luxury and advanced technology, including a 900-volt electrical system and an augmented reality heads-up display. He also touches on the practical aspects of the SUV, such as its interior space and off-road capabilities. Summers humorously notes the challenges of balancing family practicality with a modern, high-tech car, concluding with an appreciation for Lucid's commitment to design excellence.
