Send us a text Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Todd Gilbreath as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast. Todd told me, “Being behind the wheel is the best. My story started on March 14, 2022. I was seeing clients in Ventura and Ontario, CA. I finished early in Ventura and decided to head toward Beverly Hills, the Hollywood stars, the Hollywood sign, etc., because I had never been there. While driving on Wilshire Blvd. in Beverly Hills, I snapped pictures of Ferrari, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz dealerships, then saw the Lucid sign at the studio and said, "What’s that?" I’m in the auto industry, but I had never heard of Lucid until that day. I went back to my hotel, looked it up online, and saw that it was an EV. I was entirely against EVs, and then, fast forward to July 25, I decided to get a second vehicle, went online, and saw the leases on Lucid vehicles, with a 400+ mile range (I live in Texas), horsepower, fast charging (200 miles in less than 20 minutes), 0 to 60 time, 3.0 seconds, and torque, and then started watching hundreds of YouTube videos about Lucid Air and owning an EV.  As a road warrior in sales, Lucid checked all the boxes and addressed the negative objections. I leased the first one, and with a new job, quickly realized I was going to run through the miles on the lease, so I bought a second one. And I am the proud owner of two of them. Best cars I’ve ever driven or owned.”   Are you a Lucid owner with a compelling story to share, contact me at [email protected] We'd love to hear from EV/Automotive enthusiasts with stories relevant to Lucid fans at [email protected] Like my Lucid Driver podcast Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575927028097 Check out my world-leading podcast about ocean cruising, The Joy of Cruising Podcast https://www.thejoyofcruisingpodcast.com/

Send us a text Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Clayton Law as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast. Clayton told me, “I grew up with a lot of financial instability in my family. High end cars were never something I aspired to have because it never felt in reach. My first car I got to drive regularly was an early 90's Chrysler New Yorker which felt like luxury to me. We moved up to a 2008 Corolla, also a car I loved. When I met my husband in 2010, he had a 2001 Lexus LS430 which really made me curious about luxury vehicles in general. We traded that for a 2012 Volt in Jan 2012 and have loved living with EVs since. We purchased a 2019 Bolt when they came out, but I sold it after I was having battery issues. We finally upgraded into a 23 Lucid Air in December '23 and ordered a Gravity as soon as they became available. We've had a few issues, but we absolutely love Lucid - as does every other owner I've met. We've always been early adopters for tech in general, and my husband has had a lot of interesting experiences working for Microsoft and Sony Pictures as well. I started my YouTube channel as a way to share my interest in helping Lucid owners get information and answers that sometimes you can't get from Lucid themselves, but it's also been a way for us to share our life after my husband waited about 5 years for a liver transplant. Moving into the Lucid was perfect timing as we spent a lot of time traveling for appointments and needing a comfortable space away from home.” Youtube is UpcurrentEVs - www.youtube.com/@upcurrentevs Are you a Lucid owner with a compelling story to share, contact me at [email protected] We'd love to hear from EV/Automotive enthusiasts with stories relevant to Lucid fans at [email protected] Like my Lucid Driver podcast Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575927028097 Check out my world-leading podcast about ocean cruising, The Joy of Cruising Podcast https://www.thejoyofcruisingpodcast.com/

Send us a text Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Peter Frank as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast. Peter told me, “I'm not sure there is a standard Lucid owner, but if there is, I'm probably not that guy.  I'm 49.  My last car was a 2005 Toyota Corolla with 200k on the odometer, and I'm an Anglican priest.  I live in Northern Virginia with my family where I lead a mid-sized church. I ended up getting a Lucid after deciding that my next car would be electric. My assumption was that it would probably be a Tesla, or possibly a Kia.  But before it was time to make a decision a few things happened. First, I started reading about this obscure company I had never heard of called Lucid and watching some videos online about their technology which really impressed me. Second, a good friend of mine with a Kia had to Lemon-law his vehicle after a nightmarish ownership experience.  Finally, it became clear that Elon Musk was going to try to fire half of my neighbors here in Northern Virginia, making getting a Tesla in January of 2025 more of a political statement than I was ready to make with my car.   The Air is my first electric car, but I've owned a lot of different vehicles over the years. I have a bit of a weak spot for uncommon cars built by smart people.  My parents and then my wife and I owned Saabs for a while.  Saabs probably are what gave me an openness to the "work smarter, not harder" form of auto design.  I just loved our 9-5 with its compact turbo-charged engine and great interior packaging (kind of like a Lucid in that way). I do of course hope Lucid has a brighter future than Saab did in the end—but I'm happy to throw General Motors under the bus for killing them.     Getting an electric car was in a way a reaction to the polarization of opinion about electric vehicles over the last few years. It seemed to me like people's politics were causing them to have strong, but uninformed opinions about the technology. That seems like the wrong way to go about things. So, instead of having my opinions shaped by which side I thought I was on, I decided it was time to, you know, actually try one out for myself and see. A year in, I'm convinced electric cars are the future and they ought to be the present.  I've driven my Air to where I grew up in rural northern Minnesota with zero issues. I love how quiet, smooth and efficient it is. I love charging it in my garage instead of having to go to a gas station.   One last thing, I've loved going fast and the technology that makes it possible since I was 14 and got my first snowmobile.  Lucid scratches that itch 35 years later.” Are you a Lucid owner with a compelling story to share, contact me at [email protected] We'd love to hear from EV/Automotive enthusiasts with stories relevant to Lucid fans at [email protected] Like my Lucid Driver podcast Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575927028097 Check out my world-leading podcast about ocean cruising, The Joy of Cruising Podcast https://www.thejoyofcruisingpodcast.com/

Send us a text Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Keith Roberts to Lucid Driver Podcast. Keith told me, “My husband, Phat, and I are both retired and living in Vero Beach, Florida, in a home we built in 2017. I spent my career as a software engineer with a passion for home automation, while Phat practiced medicine for 30 years in New Hampshire before we relocated to Florida. We're both car fanatics who have been on quite the EV journey over the past six years. While driving my 2014 BMW 328xd, I casually mentioned that "my next vehicle would be electric." For my 60th birthday, Phat surprised me with an incredible present: a 2019 Tesla Model 3 purchased in late 2018. That hooked us on EVs, and we haven't looked back.  Since then, we've owned multiple electric, hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles including a Hyundai Ioniq-5, Toyota RAV4 Prime, and multiple Lucid Airs. We're currently a two-Lucid household—I drive a Lucid Air Touring, and we just took delivery of a Lucid Gravity Grand Touring in October 2025. As a tech enthusiast and software engineer, I'm fascinated by how Lucid is pushing the boundaries of EV technology, efficiency, and the overall driving experience.” Are you a Lucid owner with a compelling story to share, contact me at [email protected] We'd love to hear from EV/Automotive enthusiasts with stories relevant to Lucid fans at [email protected] Like my Lucid Driver podcast Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575927028097 Check out my world-leading podcast about ocean cruising, The Joy of Cruising Podcast https://www.thejoyofcruisingpodcast.com/

Send us a text Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Christopher Nickell to Lucid Driver Podcast. Chris has had quite a journey of notable vehicles leading to his Lucid Gravity Dream Edition.   Chris told me, “My friends would say that I’m obsessed with cars…but not in the way that I’m in the driveway listening to Def Leppard tuning it for my next track day. I am a tech enthusiast and love anything that hasn’t been mainstream…which is why I love the Lucid story. My wife says that I need a bumper sticker that says, ‘My house is smarter than your honor student.’ I love smart tech and how everything has become so integrated. Hoping that the Gravity will continue to gain tech and follow through on some of this initial promises they have made (hands-free driving, AI HUD, Carplay, etc.)   I came here by way of the Cadillac Escalade IQ, which I just got in January of this year. Yup, you heard that right. I purchased a Sport 2 Escalade IQ and let’s just say, they ended up buying it back because it was that awful. The IQ wasn’t my first choice. In fact, I had a deposit in on the Gravity the day I heard about it. I had always told my wife that as soon as there’s an electric SUV with 400+ mile range, I’m in! But when the Gravity kept getting pushed, I ended up jumping to the IQ.” Are you a Lucid owner with a compelling story to share, contact me at [email protected] We'd love to hear from EV/Automotive enthusiasts with stories relevant to Lucid fans at [email protected] Like my Lucid Driver podcast Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575927028097 Check out my world-leading podcast about ocean cruising, The Joy of Cruising Podcast https://www.thejoyofcruisingpodcast.com/

Send us a text Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Bryan Stewart my current homie in Charlotte, NC—as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast. In reality, I live in Mooresville a suburb of Charlotte, and I stress current because I am in the process of relocating. For the time being though Bryan and I are homies even though I have never seen another Lucid in Charlotte or Mooresville—except that one time I went to a Charlotte owners’ event and the parking lot was awash with Lucid Airs.  Bryan is the owner of a beautiful Lucid Air Touring, the second Lucid he has owned.    Bryan told me, “I first started exploring electric vehicles around 2016. I took a few test drives of the Model S and Model X, but they didn’t quite meet my needs. In 2023, while I was in Dallas on business, I test drove a Lucid GT, and around the same time, a friend of mine purchased one. I loved the ride and the range of that vehicle. I mentioned to my wife that I wished I could do a 2-to-3-month EV rental to see what living with an EV would be like.    In 2024, I received an email from Lucid about their leasing options. I visited their website and found a 2024 Air Pure (RWD), which only had the 20-way seats as an option. My wife wanted massage seats, so I decided to go with it. I signed an 18-month lease with a limit of 15,000 miles. After owning the car for about two months, I realized I wasn't going back to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.    My Air Pure had an estimated range of 420 miles, which was more than enough for me since I’m not a frequent long-distance driver. I discovered that I charge my car more out of convenience than necessity. My wife and I typically stop every 2 to 3 hours to stretch, and during those breaks, I just charge the car. Thankfully, I've had a good experience with DC fast charging (DCFC). Although I’ve encountered broken chargers, there’s usually another one available.   When it was time to upgrade to a new EV, I decided to move up to the Air Touring. I opted for all the features except the glass roof since that’s not my preference. So far, it has been a great experience. While I’m not a speed enthusiast, I appreciate the 620 hp, even if it doesn’t excite me. My ideal Lucid would be an Air Pure with a battery pack like that of the Grand Touring. Something about an EV with over 500 miles of range.   In comparing the Pure to the Touring, I really enjoy the quietness of the Pure, particularly due to its rear-wheel drive. However, I believe the Touring handles better because of its all-wheel drive. In my opinion, the Touring is Lucid’s sweet spot within the Air lineup."

Send us a text Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome George Bush—not that George Bush—as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast. George is the owner of a beautiful Lucid Air Pure, somewhat unique in that it is one of the last all wheel drive Pures ever made.   George says, “First off, I guess I can start by saying I absolutely love my car. From the first day to today every time I get in to drive it puts a smile on my face. Pure joy.    I’ve never really been a car person, and I don’t think I am one now, but I am a Lucid person. As soon as I discovered their car and story I just fell in love and knew I had to have one. In the beginning, I didn’t think I could afford one for a while. Maybe after I retire as a present to myself. Then the lease deals started happening and it became more and more in reach. Then finally one day my wife said just buy it already and that was that. Couldn’t be happier!” Are you a Lucid owner with a compelling story to share, contact me at [email protected] We'd love to hear from EV/Automotive enthusiasts with stories relevant to Lucid fans at [email protected] Like my Lucid Driver podcast Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575927028097 Check out my world-leading podcast about ocean cruising, The Joy of Cruising Podcast https://www.thejoyofcruisingpodcast.com/

Steven is the President and Co-Owner at Precision Legal Marketing, and the Co-founder at Collector Car Storage of Virgina. In addition, Steven is a Producer and Content Creator and created the @stevewithaz channel and platforms at YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.   Steven says, “I come to the Lucid platform from a completely different perspective than most owners I have run in to—performance. I come from a JDM [Japanese domestic market] platform with a pair of high horsepower Nissans 300zx’s (one is 1000 horsepower). Then three years ago I had the pleasure of purchasing a McLaren 12c Spider. The driving dynamics of the McLaren took my interest from brute force to refinement in terms of handling and power. Ditching the kids for college and the minivan along with it, I was in search of something unique as a daily driver. Enter the Lucid Air Grand Touring. From the low-end torque to the Porsche vibe of the handling dynamics paired with the amazing ability of the Lucid to cheat its weight, I was hooked.”   Are you a Lucid owner with a compelling story to share, contact me at [email protected] We'd love to hear from EV/Automotive enthusiasts with stories relevant to Lucid fans at [email protected] Like my Lucid Driver podcast Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575927028097 Check out my world-leading podcast about ocean cruising, The Joy of Cruising Podcast https://www.thejoyofcruisingpodcast.com/
