The Lucid Air. Have you ever heard of this vehicle?

It's supposed to be a competitor to the Tesla Model S. I didn't know it existed.

New to me! So let's try and find out positively, on-line......

It is no longer possible to go straight to your search subject on the Internet, but my first attempt showed a good review from "CarWow", which appears to be a British site.

The daft name (no dafter than many car names now) had made me think this is one of the various Chinese-developed and built electric cars being introduced to undercut American and European manufacturers, but no, the 'Lucid' is American.

Then I found what I really wanted, the company's own web-site (lucid.com).

Typically over-blown, it tells us:

[quote]We’re proud to be an American electric vehicle company, publicly traded on the Nasdaq exchange, with our headquarters in California and manufacturing plant in Arizona. [/quote]

Those straight facts are followed immediately by the inevitable, pretentious rhubarb:

[quote]Our groundbreaking technology is designed in California, where we are moved to think beyond mobility and design for a world where life is the most important journey we’ll ever take. To look beyond tomorrow and shape a future where we no longer have to choose between doing great things – and doing the right thing.

Designed in California. Assembled in Arizona.
Engineered to change the world.[/quote]

So now we know.

Blimey, it's not just designed and badged, but even made, in America!
