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

from Lucid Driver · host Paul Thornton

Send us Fan MailHello, 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 [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/
