Even the Taycan Turbo I drove, which is gorgeous, handles great, and super fast, just doesn't do it for me as it lacks elements that I like such as a proper exhaust/engine to rev, a transmission to change gears (auto or manual) and just the feeling of engagement, with the biggest issue being that its priced like an M5 or E63S which has all those aspects I do love.
I think its best suited as an S-Class/7er type of vehicle, something quiet, smooth, and oppulent. So a Lucid would be awesome, but not ready to trust a new company yet. They will also be great in replacing some commuters as it will get rid of the buzzy engines and laggy powertrains and add refinement. The problem is that EV's simply are not cheap enough to be commuters yet, they are still pretty much luxury cars, even the mainstream company EV's like Ford and Hyundai are not cheap.
So I could see myself in an EV, but not yet really.

The upcoming Ioniq 6 sedan could be interesting, or its Genesis counterpart (if they make one).
