    Rae Millen’s Lucid Gravity, Nine Months Later

    Send us Fan Mail Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome back Rae Millen as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast. I hosted Rae back in August 2025 when both his Lucid Gravity and Lucid Driver podcast were both relatively new. Well, that episode, Rae Millin, From Porsche Taycan to Lucid Gravity, Episode 18 went on to become the most downloaded episode in Lucid Driver podcast’s 11-month history. Since that time, I’ve noticed on the many Lucid-related Facebook groups that I frequent, that Rae has become the (Not So) Elder spokesman on behalf of most things Gravity. A level-headed, clearly informed sea of reason, research, and personal experience in an ocean of hyperbole and frantic, panicked but understandable concern on the part of some Gravity owners.    There is a lot to learn about Rae, and he obviously is not new to this EV world. Check out that earlier episode to get a sense for Rae’s background. It is my pleasure to catch up with Rae after nine months or so of Gravity ownership.

    Encore Episode: Rae Millin, From Porsche Taycan to Lucid Gravity

    Send us Fan Mail Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to present this encore episode of Rae Millen's episode for two big reasons: 1. It is the highest listened to episode ever in the less than one year history of Lucid Driver podcast, and 2. Ray will be returning as my guest on next week’s Lucid Driver  to update us on his Gravity  8 months later.  Rae told me, “I come from both a background of cars and of tech. Having been a muscle car fan and owner most of my adult life, I grew interested in EVs as a tech person when Tesla started rolling out in 2012. I test drove a Model S in 2015 and was extremely impressed and almost bought one back then but Dodge flashed the Hellcat in front of me and I went that way instead. Then in 2019 I grew interested again and started looking bc I was tired of paying for gas and knew in my soul the damage those type of cars were doing to the world. Enter Elon introducing the Plaid and I had a day one reservation but thought I'd do my due diligence and investigate other EVs, since Tesla was no longer the only game for performance EV. The Porsche Taycan was just released and was readily available at my local Porsche dealership and after a test drive I was hooked and went that way.    What led me to Lucid was that while doing my research, I seriously noticed what they were doing and was impressed with their efficiency and style, but they were too new and I wasn't sure they'd survive. Getting that big investment from the Middle Eastern investors and their continued push to put out great EVs kept me looking and the Gravity completely won me over when they first introduced it. By this point, a Porsche was starting to wear on my body as a daily and my wife and son actually did not like riding in it due to its size and low ride height, so it was time to look at something else anyway. And here I am today owner of the greatest EV SUV in the country today!   Also, I am a member of EVHybridNoire and volunteer with Drive Electric Alabama to help with EV education, work with government and businesses to expand charging infrastructure, particularly in in low income and under served communities. I work with our local government up to the mayor of Huntsville Alabama, who drives a Ford Lightning himself and all the way up to the Governor Kay Ivey who has been very supportive of EVs and infrastructure and job growth in this area for Alabama.  Are you a Lucid owner with a compelling story to share, contact me at LucidDriverPodcast@gmail.com We'd love to hear from EV/Automotive enthusiasts with stories relevant to Lucid fans at LucidDriverPodcast@gmail.com Like my Lucid Driver podcast Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575927028097 Check out my world-leading podcast about ocean cruising, The Joy of Cruising Podcast https://www.thejoyofcruisingpodcast.com/

    Encore Episode: Clayton Law, Owner, Gravity Grand Touring, Host, YouTube Channel UpcurrentEVs

    Send a text Encore episode as I am traveling again. Looking for passionate Lucid owners to share their story with the Lucid community so I can have some episodes ready when I am away. Let me tell your story! Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Clayton Law as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast. Clayton told me, “I grew up with a lot of financial instability in my family. High end cars were never something I aspired to have because it never felt in reach. My first car I got to drive regularly was an early 90's Chrysler New Yorker which felt like luxury to me. We moved up to a 2008 Corolla, also a car I loved. When I met my husband in 2010, he had a 2001 Lexus LS430 which really made me curious about luxury vehicles in general. We traded that for a 2012 Volt in Jan 2012 and have loved living with EVs since. We purchased a 2019 Bolt when they came out, but I sold it after I was having battery issues. We finally upgraded into a 23 Lucid Air in December '23 and ordered a Gravity as soon as they became available. We've had a few issues, but we absolutely love Lucid - as does every other owner I've met. We've always been early adopters for tech in general, and my husband has had a lot of interesting experiences working for Microsoft and Sony Pictures as well. I started my YouTube channel as a way to share my interest in helping Lucid owners get information and answers that sometimes you can't get from Lucid themselves, but it's also been a way for us to share our life after my husband waited about 5 years for a liver transplant. Moving into the Lucid was perfect timing as we spent a lot of time traveling for appointments and needing a comfortable space away from home.” Are you a Lucid owner with a compelling story to share, contact me at LucidDriverPodcast@gmail.com We'd love to hear from EV/Automotive enthusiasts with stories relevant to Lucid fans at LucidDriverPodcast@gmail.com Like my Lucid Driver podcast Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575927028097 Check out my world-leading podcast about ocean cruising, The Joy of Cruising Podcast https://www.thejoyofcruisingpodcast.com/

    Encore Presentation: Borski & Annie, Lucid Air Dream Edition Performance, Gravity Dream Edition

    Send a text Hey Lucid Fans. Sorry, I am traveling again. If you missed it though, this encore presentation features the most amazing Lucid ownership by one household I have met to-date. He has a Lucid Air Dream Edition Performance, and she has a Gravity Dream Edition. (I already asked them if they were adopting!) Enjoy, back live next week.  Susannie “Annie” Borohovski and her husband, Borski, are Lucid community veterans of over three years, but Annie just snagged the keys to her new favorite toy: a Gravity with a one-of-a-kind sparkly blue wrap that looks like it was "dipped in starlight". She's affectionately called it her “spaceship” and named it “Voyager.” The license plate, "S5 E13", is a fun little secret handshake for fellow nerds (bonus points if you get it!). While she's studying to be a licensed therapist by day, her other full-time job consists of being a serial kitten fosterer (seriously, we're talking hundreds!), a devoted dog whisperer to her impossibly cute Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Dobby, and a world-traveling adventurer with well over twenty passport stamps in just the past few years. Through all of those adventures, she's finally found her perfect center of "gravity"!   And now for the other half of this Lucid couple, Michael “Borski” Borohovski! As a Lucid community veteran and proud owner of a Lucid Air Dream Edition, he's the happy "ground control" to Annie's new "spaceship". At home, Borski is the ultimate tech wizard: he automates their entire house for fun and uses his 3D printer to solve everyday problems, from making custom board game organizers to designing the perfect Nespresso pod tray for Annie. This passion for elegant solutions isn't just a hobby, he's a seasoned software architect and MIT grad who founded the security company Tinfoil Security, leading it all the way to a successful acquisition by Synopsys in 2020. And when he's not architecting software or building companies, he's architecting signature cocktails as the resident mixologist or surprising friends with his past life as a seasoned singer. A never-ending source of curiosity, discovery, and a surprising amount of beatboxing for a software architect, being around Borski is always a breath of fresh "Air"!

    Todd Gilbreath, Owner ’22 Air Grand Touring, ‘24 Air Touring

    Send a text Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Todd Gilbreath as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast. Todd told me, “Being behind the wheel is the best. My story started on March 14, 2022. I was seeing clients in Ventura and Ontario, CA. I finished early in Ventura and decided to head toward Beverly Hills, the Hollywood stars, the Hollywood sign, etc., because I had never been there. While driving on Wilshire Blvd. in Beverly Hills, I snapped pictures of Ferrari, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz dealerships, then saw the Lucid sign at the studio and said, "What’s that?" I’m in the auto industry, but I had never heard of Lucid until that day. I went back to my hotel, looked it up online, and saw that it was an EV. I was entirely against EVs, and then, fast forward to July 25, I decided to get a second vehicle, went online, and saw the leases on Lucid vehicles, with a 400+ mile range (I live in Texas), horsepower, fast charging (200 miles in less than 20 minutes), 0 to 60 time, 3.0 seconds, and torque, and then started watching hundreds of YouTube videos about Lucid Air and owning an EV.  As a road warrior in sales, Lucid checked all the boxes and addressed the negative objections. I leased the first one, and with a new job, quickly realized I was going to run through the miles on the lease, so I bought a second one. And I am the proud owner of two of them. Best cars I’ve ever driven or owned.”   Are you a Lucid owner with a compelling story to share, contact me at LucidDriverPodcast@gmail.com We'd love to hear from EV/Automotive enthusiasts with stories relevant to Lucid fans at LucidDriverPodcast@gmail.com Like my Lucid Driver podcast Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575927028097 Check out my world-leading podcast about ocean cruising, The Joy of Cruising Podcast https://www.thejoyofcruisingpodcast.com/
