    Eddy M, A First for Lucid Driver, A 2-Lucid Gravity Household!

    Send us Fan Mail Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Eddy M. as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast. Let me preface by pointing out the podcast has hosted the owner of Lucid Sapphire #34; a couple of owners of both Lucid Air and Lucid Gravity; even a married couple where he had a Lucid Air Grand Touring Dream Edition, and she had a Lucid Gravity Grand Touring Dream Edition! As wonderful as those ownership experiences were for me to bring to the global Lucid community, Eddy represents a new distinction—my first guest who owns two Gravity’s. There can’t be many 2-Gravity household in existence, can there? If you are listening, contact me as you have an open invitation to Lucid Driver podcast.   Eddy told me, “I’m a Dad of a growing family with a small child and one on the way. We need the space. I’m a car guy who really appreciates EVs. First bought my wife the Gravity for the space and then was going to buy a Rivian R1S but ultimately went with a second Gravity for the better-quality ride experience and space.

    Creating Experiences with A Lucid Air Touring as A Limo Driver; We Talk to Bassem-Encore Presentation

    Send us Fan Mail Encore Presentation Hello, Lucid fans! This is Paul. I am delighted to welcome this week’s guest on Lucid Driver Podcast.  Bassem, a passionate Lucid Air Touring owner I met on Lucidowners.com. Bassem can offer insights about the Lucid Air that come from a unique perspective versus that of most of us Lucid owners. He uses his Lucid Air as a limousine and spends the majority of his time in his Lucid Air as a professional Limo Driver. However, that’s not the only unique perspective that Bassem can speak from.    Bassem says, “I am a firm believer in Lucid from several perspectives. I am always eager to find relevant content especially since you are a seasoned Podcaster, you know there is an audience that is eager to learn more beyond press releases from real people sharing their content. I do share your passions as I have arrived at a similar conclusion to you. My journey with EV's began in 2013 when I purchased a Tesla Model S. Naturally, it was a revolutionary new vehicle platform back then and I have enjoyed it. Since then, I have driven multiple EV’s, so my opinions have had time to mature and for me to understand the nature of driving, owning and taking the time to enjoy an EV. Being also a former Tesla employee working on Battery Systems, it did not take long for me to recognize once Lucid released their Vehicle Architecture alongside actual battery and motor components, that they really took the time to design functional pieces of art that propels the Air.    Bassem says, “On the ride home, it would be safe to say, that from Motown to Al Green to Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes make a regular appearance. The ride home is always challenging one, as you realize you've been running on an adrenaline high for the past 10 plus hours, along side all the different conversations and personalities encountered. So, it's a time to roll down the windows and engage Drive Assist!” 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/

    Rei Vardi, CEO and Founder, Eon EV Car Rental Company

    Send us Fan Mail Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Rei Vardi, CEO and founder of Eon as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast. According to https://www.eonrides.com, Eon is the leading EV car rental company in the US, providing customers with an unmatched driving experience. Rei started Eon in college with his own car and has grown it into a practical solution for reducing emissions in transportation, and enabling a shared economy of electric vehicles that also lowers the carbon footprint of driving. Eon recently added Lucid to its platform. We’ll discuss a wide range of topics relating to EVs, mobility, the shared car economy, and other matters.    Rei Vardi is the founder and CEO of Eon, a bootstrapped national EV rental platform he started in 2018 from his dorm room at Boston University - after renting out his dad's Tesla ended in scratched panels, a stranded renter, and one bank robbery. That chaos became the insight behind Eon: a car is a computer on wheels, so let the software run the rental. Today Eon connects renters to thousands of premium EVs across 50+ cities, with no counters, no paperwork, and drivers in the car in 40 seconds. With $0 raised, Eon has paid car owners over $10M, verified 25,000+ drivers, and saved an estimated 16 million pounds of CO₂ - all while staying profitable and growing entirely through word of mouth.

    Michael Moy, Lucid Air Touring Owner, Co-Worker of the Tesla Founders-Encore

    Send us Fan Mail This is an encore episode. Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Michael Moy as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast. What a story Michael has! He told me, “I retired several years ago after 30 years at various startup companies. I worked with and for Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning [the founders and original executives of Tesla] at three high tech startups. Here’s their story: https://www.cnbc.com/video/2021/02/06/how-tesla-was-founded-martin-eberhard-and-marc-tarpenning-tell-all.html in case this is news to you as it is to many people.   Needless to say—I was an early Tesla watcher but from afar. The idea had always been when Tesla opened a New York location—I’d try to get in. But by the time that happened Elon had fired all but one or two people I had worked with. I never did buy a Tesla though I put money down on a Model 3. The last person I knew at Tesla—ended up going to Atieva/Lucid—so I watched to see what she was doing. The Lucid Air was unveiled in 2017 at the NY auto show with a starting price of $60K. The all-glass roof and reclining executive rear seats won me over. This was the car for me. Needless to say, when the car came out at $169K in 2021—I had sticker shock for sure! I ended up ordering the Air Touring in June ‘22 and took delivery on Valentine’s Day 2023. So, 26 months and 40K miles later – I still love the car. It’s my first EV and I’ve set a very high bar for any car I buy in the future. I have been to almost all the Lucid studio and service centers from Tyson Corner to Natick and Boston Seaport. I’ve been to over a dozen lucid events and rallies. I drove from NJ to Tampa and back in 4 days. Absolutely no issues charging the car along 95. Stayed at two hotels with free chargers but otherwise all Electrify America stations. As an active member of the NJ Electric Vehicle Association I’ve attended over a dozen Drive Electric and First Responder events in NJ and PA.”   You may recall on Lucid Driver podcast Episode 6 Josh, where guest Josh discussed his Lucid Air Grand Touring appearing in the Netflix miniseries Black Rabbit, set in the New York night club scene starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman. Well Michael’s Air appeared as the double for Josh’s car. Josh’s car was used for the exterior shots and Michael’s car was used for the interior shots. Michael said, “I was nervous when I heard hammering and drilling when they set up the camera gear inside my car!” 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/

    Eric Jackson, 2025 Lucid Air Grand Touring; 2026 Lucid Gravity Grand Touring

    Send us Fan Mail Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Eric Jackson as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast.  Eric and his wife are retired and living in Estero, Florida. Eric told me, “Following a fulfilling career as a studio musician in Los Angeles, I embarked on a new chapter at the age of 40 by pursuing an undergraduate degree in chemical engineering. This transition from my professional focus on efficiency to a personal passion for sustainability and energy independence has been fulfilling. Today, my home and vehicles are powered entirely by a self-sustained energy source, harnessing the power of solar energy, heat pumps, and advanced battery storage. While I once dedicated decades to studying molecular bonds, instead of filling my tank with gasoline, I fill it with gallons of light from the sun. As a committed environmentalist, I take pride in living a life that aligns with the future of clean energy. I was interested in electric vehicles back in 2010 when I heard about Tesla. I purchased my first Tesla in 2013 and my second one in 2017. In 2025, I traded my Tesla in for a 2025 Lucid Grand Touring Air. I loved this car. I loved the range, the safety features, and the breathtaking acceleration. I decided to purchase a Gravity for a number of reasons. My air lease is over in September. We plan to do a lot of traveling from Estero to Austin, Texas, to see our son, daughter-in-law, and 1-year-old grandson.  We love the flexibility of the charging, enormous storage, and more safety features.  Despite lacking the acceleration of the air, the Gravity remains an impressive vehicle.”  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/

    Cole Attisha, Staff Writer, Autoblog, I Drove the 2026 Lucid Gravity Grand Touring at Mudfest…

    Send us Fan Mail Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Cole Attisha as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast. Cole is Staff Writer at Autoblog. I saw an article with videos featuring my next car, a Lucid Gravity Grand Touring—as you know I drive a Lucid Air Touring right now. The article, “I Drove the 2026 Lucid Gravity Grand Touring at Mudfest: Here’s My Honest On- And Off -Road Review.” The article was great, not just well done but it reinforced my decision, or should I say aspiration. I thought to myself that the author would be a great guest for Lucid Driver podcast, and I appreciate Colefor agreeing to come on.   “Cole’s passion for automobiles spans every corner of the industry, from vintage Italian roadsters and “delightfully weird” family haulers to the latest quirky EVs. His enthusiasm isn’t limited to dream cars or nostalgia; having worked in sales for brands including Hyundai, Mazda, and Mercedes-Benz, Cole brings seasoned industry experience to his writing. That background provides a grounded understanding of how cars are bought, sold, and actually lived with, not just how they perform on a spec sheet. Blending curiosity, humor, and firsthand knowledge, Cole approaches every vehicle through the lens of both an enthusiast and a consumer, keeping a sharp eye on what truly matters to drivers today.”   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/
