I also find it interesting - I've not seen a more clear example of engineering vs. design - I consider the Lucid to have excellent engineering but poor design…
the best companies seamlessly and effortlessly blend design/engineering such that it's really really hard to see where one part ends and another begins (Porsche, Apple, Ferarri) and they do it so well it looks easy
to my eye/opinion the Lucid is a failure of design and it will bring down the company
my daughter who major's in design at University of Washington visited the Lucid store in U-Village, and being a design major was horrified at the interior pallet options - she commented that if she or any of her design major cohorts turns that result in as a class project the critiques would be blistering - they lack cohesion, a point of view, and a design theme and instead mix all things for all people leading to a mess of materials/contrasts/textures/colors/juxtaposition
in any case she was like "Dad you're not going to get this are you?" I said no dear but we were late for dinner so I didn't spend anytime with the vehicles…
engineering matters
design matters
one informs the other
the best companies seamlessly blend this
other's not so much…
