I Drive a Lucid Air GT and Rivian R1S.. But Only One of Them Makes Sense for My 780-Mile Phoenix-to-Sausalito Trips
30 May 2025 | Abstracted from Torque News
" I loosely follow the speed limit, between 70-80mph on I-10 and I-5...The Lucid can make it with 2 charging stops. But you need to plan carefully. I arrived in Sausalito (from Phoenix) with 2 charging stops..
"Phoenix to Sausalito trip in the R1S requires 3 (or even 4) charging stops...the Lucid is faster, saves a charge stop, and eats highway miles with grace..
"And Tesla? It's still the standard, mostly because everything around it, charging, software, the overall experience, just works."
