Lucid is a bit too expensive for me. However, Hyundai seems to make decent EVs. I will consider one after I upgrade my electrical panel to support decent charge speed.

The newest Kia (Hyundai's sister brand) EV6 can also do massive V2L - can support 12kW power - combine that with a transfer switch, and your car doubles as your backup battery/generator.

Lucid is majority controlled by Saudi PIF.

Too expensive, thats the big issue, EV's that are decent outside of tesla are just so fuckin expensive, or from legacy automakers that seem to just want to shove a EV engine in a shitty old design

Lucid is a luxury brand and it has a better quality interior and comfort than a Tesla. I’ve only ever owned a Tesla, Mazda, Subaru, and a Honda so note that’s my only personal experience.

I used to have a P3D, and Tesla interiors do feel quite lacking compared to the Lucid Air I sat in at the mall. My friend has had a Lucid for a while and it still has a solid feel. I didn’t hear any creaks or rattles and it felt solid inside, if that makes sense.

Eh, IMHO both Hyundai and GM have really tried with their latest platforms to make a range of quality EVs.
