Blaine Mathieu, My Journey with Lucid Motors & a 2025 Lucid Air Grand Touring EV-Encore

Send us Fan MailHello, Lucid fans! One year ago, I hosted my first guest on Lucid Driver! To celebrate the anniversary of this milestone, here is an encore of that episode. Thank Blaine for being the first.This is Paul. I am delighted to welcome Blaine Mathieu. I am honored a tech CEO who happens to be the owner of one of the world’s beautiful vehicles agreed to be my guest on only the second episode of Lucid Driver.  From Blaine’s Blog:“Let's get something straight: I am not a professional car reviewer. (If you are looking for that, check out Dan Neil at the WSJ - he's amazing.) I am not even an amateur car reviewer - I have never published a word about cars in my life. What I am is the CEO of a Silicon Valley startup that loves vehicles. My wife is the Head of Product at a different company. Together we have owned every manner of car over the last 20 years including a Nissan 370Z convertible, a 1958 Triumph TR3A (pictured here on the website), a huge Buick Enclave, a plug-in Toyota Prius Prime, a bright green Range Rover Evoque 2-door SUV, and a bunch of things in between. The 2025 Lucid Air Grand Touring is our first fully-electric car, and I thought it would be fun to share our real-world experiences and impressions over the next few years. Enjoy!”Are you a Lucid owner with a compelling story to share, contact me at [email protected]'d love to hear from EV/Automotive enthusiasts with stories relevant to Lucid fans at [email protected] my Lucid Driver podcast Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575927028097Check out my world-leading podcast about ocean cruising, The Joy of Cruising Podcast https://www.thejoyofcruisingpodcast.com/
