## Is the Lucid Air worth considering?

The Air Grand Touring set NAF's longest-ever summer result at 829 km and Car and Driver's longest 75 mph result at 410 miles, though NAF's result was still 14% below WLTP. Severe cold nearly halved NAF's winter result, and the US recall list is long, so check the car's history.
