Getting out of Indy last weekend was rough, but the Lucid Air handled the Snowpocalypse like a champ. I only had two quibbles with this car in the frigid, snowy weather. #cardujour youtu.be/FldMWhzuCB8?...

I have not. But my brother-in-law used to own several, and switched to Lucud and said it was a game changer. I do have a friend who just bought a new Tesla, and sheβs going let me review it. She says the lack of Apple CarPlay is a problem.

I disagree. The nail in the coffin for Apple CarPlay & Android Auto will be excellent phone integration. If I canβt make phone calls, listen to my voicemails or send text messages hands-free, thatβs a fail. Right now, there isnβt a single native system out there that allows me to do these things.
