Not really sure what Lucid trim I was in. I agree with the back seat room.

No material issues in the interior for me, but the few I've sat in have had very creaky interiors especially around the bottom screen

Rawlinson is a nice guy and passionate, you can see that from his technical videos Lucid posts on YouTube, but his charisma doesnt come across in promotional videos. He comes across as a bit awkward. I also think he has been given long enough to tun the company around so hopefully the new CEO can do something about the stock price

Peter Rawlinson made a significant contribution to the Model S, and went on to build arguably a better Model S. Musk needless to say disputes the extent of Rawlinson’s contribution to Model S, but the evidence points to Rawlinson’s version of events being accurate.

I wish there was a greater appetite for minivans in the US. I'd love for some (more powerful) versions of other market vans to make their way here

Stigma. My sister who has two little kids and another one on the way has proudly proclaimed “I will not drive a minivan”. Currently she drives a Telluride.

that said, I guess one could argue that minivans are simply crossovers. If the rear door is changed from sliding to a hinged door, the styling would be a lot better





make it a four door and the stigma goes away






I forgot GM had this Pontiac Transport concept
