Wish we could keep the politics/views out of this and just compare Lucid Air to Tesla Model S. That is really all I care about.
Sure...
Everything is politics.
And I have yet to meet another human being that didn't have some kind of agenda...
An expressed 'desire' to exclude politics is also quite telling...
We'll just have to agree to disagree.
Let’s compare cars and not talk like the above please. You can make the case you are making on about almost every business, so lets move on and just talk about Tesla Model S vs Lucid Air.
All the other crap is not healthy or productive. This is a car forum and there are plenty of politics forums to post those views at.

No you can't. Military Dictators do not own many businesses at all.
That is your opinion. I do of course completely disagree.

And?...
We are allowed to discuss Elon and the ownership structure of Tesla – aren't we?...
So why should we not be allowed to discuss the majority owner of Lucid – the Military Dictator Mohammed bin Salman?...
Why should Mohammed bin Salman be delineated(?) from reality?
You don't seem to think that this is important. But I think it is extremely important. For me it would unfortunately be a complete and utter deal-breaker.

@SwedishAdvocate you absolutely have every right to talk about anything you want to, but why not start a new thread on that then? and if people want to chime in there, there's a specific place for that then. title header on this is "lucid air vs model s", no?

Why?
The user Tam posted upthread about Lucid's ownership structure almost two months ago on June 26th. No-one has objected at all during almost two months(!)... So why should Lucid's majority owner – the Military Dictator Mohammed bin Salman suddenly be delineated(?) from from this thread now?...
And how is this not relevant when deciding whether to buy a Tesla or a Lucid?
Many refuse to by a car from a Chinese car corporation, especially if it that corporation is directly owned by the Chinese Military Dictatorship (like MG for example), so why would it be any different when the majority owner is the Military Dictator Mohammed bin Salman?...
Believe me – I agree that this is very, very unfortunate. But actions have consequences...

I know. Most people wouldn't come to me to comment about the Lucid but there have been quite a few people approached and told me they love the look.
Lucid is a very feature rich car. More luxury than Model S. It is also much more expensive.
Super low volume produced, so you get some ownership status as well.
Larger battery gives it more range, but also more weight.
Model S Plaid gives higher level of performance for less $

You are right again according to my data:
Majority of people whom I encounter don't approach me. For example, when I was charging my Lucid at Electrify America that's next to 20 Tesla Supercharger stalls but only 2 got out of their Teslas to praised the look in that instance.
Majority of EV owners buy Tesla and not Lucid.
So, my data does not contradict your dislike of the Lucid's look eventhough there have been quite a few people approached me about liking Lucid. They are not the majority.

All the time and effort they put into this thing should probably have been put into the SUV instead. Even that Saudi money will dry up eventually if Lucid can't turn a profit. Luxury sedans, no matter how nice or fast, will not be enough to carry the day for them.

I hope it's a good one that they can mass produce at a not crazy cost. For the sake of consumers, I'd like to see more than just Tesla thriving in the North American EV market. Rivan appears to be turning a corner. Maybe the Gravity will do it for Lucid.Lucid Gravity suv with 2 to 3 rows, up to 7 adults will be next.

Lucid's price seems to destined to be higher than Tesla's for a foreseeable future. Tesla might get $20,000 car some day but I don't see that in Lucid's future.
Its non-performance sedans run from $82,400 for Air Pure to $125,600 for Air Grand Touring ($249,000 for performance Sapphire)
I expect its SUV will be slightly higher than non-performance sedans.
