As boring as the some consider the design of the Lucid Air, I really like the car overall and how it drives. Leagues ahead of a Model S in all respects. The Taycan does have the edge in driving and handling, but the Lucid Air is an all around more everyday usable luxury performance EV IMHO ??
Yeah I read from a few sources now that BMW's horrible downward design trends have been heavily influenced by the Chinese market tastes.
Would be really nice if their tastes lost a lot of its influence in the luxury goods space ?
I like trying many different brands of cars as long as they are good cars.
I plan to keep the Taycan at least 5-6 years but have a Rivian R1S SUV on order and plan to replace our current family SUV in a few years.
Sure, getting cars like the AM Vantage will be more difficult to obtain with the gradual phasing out of ICE cars and cars like the Taycan will only be more common. Go make the switch and enjoy one of the last hurrahs for ICE performance cars before they go. ??
It's a comic spectacle that's for sure and for now they amuse me more than they disgust me. Hopefully I won't see them in the numbers that they'll clog up roads and parking garages everywhere.
For better context, since you live in Europe, fast performance wagons are very common and have been for decades. So they are nothing special there. Here in the US they are such a rarity that owning a new model RS6 is a very special thing among enthusiasts.
If he buys it now, enjoys it whole...
I had an encounter with one at a local EV watering hole. What a comically enormous monster.
It's amusing but also is kind of embarrassing that this is how some US OEMs think is the only way they can sell an EV to a certain segment of our population.
Misleading title but great content, really speaks to the truth why most of us love the brand.
And the things he criticizes about the brand are the same things we dislike as well.
I say go for it, pretty soon ICE cars like the RS6 won't exist... stuff like the Taycan will exist for a while. Go buy it, drive and enjoy while gas prices is not yet insane. Plus when it comes time you decide to move on, fast ICE wagons like the RS6 will be so rare in the US.... you will have...
Very pretty and what a HP monster. I like that exists just to shut up the Model S Plaid fanboys even for a little bit.
We an continue to enjoy and drive our cars, and the Plaid boys have lost their bragging rights for the time being.
The silence is nice ??
