Priced the economical Lucid Air with a few upgrades. Came out to be $99,900. I think they're gorgeous, but I can't do it when, surprisingly, e-bikes gets me where I want to go locally without fuss.
Short / medium trips: e-bike
Long trips: rent a very high-end car. This whole industry can be improved so much. I think a lot more people will fall into this category as micro-mobility takes off. I want to splurge on a fancy car for a week, not own one.
Medium trips / hauling cargo: ??
If I were to buy a car again I think it'd be a pick-up to haul things.
- ericmay 4y agoI completely agree. I'd love to see long trips: ride a train added here as well. > I think it'd be a pick-up to haul things. Small trucks or transit vans are great for this, but similarly you can just rent a truck or have delivery. Probably would be cheaper than buying a vehicle. Depends on the use case.
- 650REDHAIR 4y agoWhere do you live? I loved my ebike and scooter, but on the 10th anniversary of me waking up in an ambulance after a car struck my bike I was hit by a car while on my scooter. I’ve given up on micromobility in SF. It’s not worth me dying over.
