The Car Connection's Take

TCC Rating

8.2

TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2022 Lucid Air is the debut car and flagship model from a new U.S. EV maker, and it could be the strongest rival to Tesla yet. The EQS injects true luxury into the world of electric vehicles. The Model S offers a formidable mix of technology, performance, and style, if you can live the annoyance of the yoke.
