    Keith Roberts, Serial EV/Hybrid Purchaser, Owner 2023 Lucid Air Touring, 2026 Lucid Gravity Grand Touring

    Send us a text Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Keith Roberts to Lucid Driver Podcast. Keith told me, “My husband, Phat, and I are both retired and living in Vero Beach, Florida, in a home we built in 2017. I spent my career as a software engineer with a passion for home automation, while Phat practiced medicine for 30 years in New Hampshire before we relocated to Florida. We're both car fanatics who have been on quite the EV journey over the past six years. While driving my 2014 BMW 328xd, I casually mentioned that "my next vehicle would be electric." For my 60th birthday, Phat surprised me with an incredible present: a 2019 Tesla Model 3 purchased in late 2018. That hooked us on EVs, and we haven't looked back.  Since then, we've owned multiple electric, hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles including a Hyundai Ioniq-5, Toyota RAV4 Prime, and multiple Lucid Airs. We're currently a two-Lucid household—I drive a Lucid Air Touring, and we just took delivery of a Lucid Gravity Grand Touring in October 2025. As a tech enthusiast and software engineer, I'm fascinated by how Lucid is pushing the boundaries of EV technology, efficiency, and the overall driving experience.” 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/

    Christopher Nickell, Rivian R1S to Cadillac Escalade IQ to Lucid Gravity Dream Edition

    Send us a text Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Christopher Nickell to Lucid Driver Podcast. Chris has had quite a journey of notable vehicles leading to his Lucid Gravity Dream Edition.   Chris told me, “My friends would say that I’m obsessed with cars…but not in the way that I’m in the driveway listening to Def Leppard tuning it for my next track day. I am a tech enthusiast and love anything that hasn’t been mainstream…which is why I love the Lucid story. My wife says that I need a bumper sticker that says, ‘My house is smarter than your honor student.’ I love smart tech and how everything has become so integrated. Hoping that the Gravity will continue to gain tech and follow through on some of this initial promises they have made (hands-free driving, AI HUD, Carplay, etc.)   I came here by way of the Cadillac Escalade IQ, which I just got in January of this year. Yup, you heard that right. I purchased a Sport 2 Escalade IQ and let’s just say, they ended up buying it back because it was that awful. The IQ wasn’t my first choice. In fact, I had a deposit in on the Gravity the day I heard about it. I had always told my wife that as soon as there’s an electric SUV with 400+ mile range, I’m in! But when the Gravity kept getting pushed, I ended up jumping to the IQ.” 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/
