BMW, Mercedes and Audi face a new challenger - and it's not Chinese

2. I love Lucid's cars, but they have 3 (or 4) problems:

Reliability is hit or miss. It's allegedly getting better, but I'm not sure it's worth the relationship as of yet.

Service. Not a lot of "studios" or dealerships around. Having a van come out to fix minor problems? Great idea. Need something bigger (see the aforementioned reliability issue) fixed? Good luck.

Initial cost and depreciation. Absolute lunacy. If you want to wait to buy one that's a year or two old, problem solved though.

Included with Lucid is the fact that it's backed by the Saudis. So there's that. Problem #4? That's up to you.
