Lucid wants to provide police cars in California
Lucid itself published the photos of the unique vehicle on X. In the short social media post, the manufacturer also emphasised the “unmatched combination of range, interior and cargo space and performance.” It is not known whether the modified version of the Lucid Air was convincing. It is also unclear which drive version Lucid provided for the tests.
In the responses to the post, the unique model was predominantly well-received – primarily due to its appearance. However, many users are critical of a potential delivery order for Lucid by the California Highway Patrol (CHP). The focus is primarily on the costs. Users cannot imagine police spending $100,000 on a pursuit vehicle.
In the USA, the Lucid Air currently starts at 71,400 dollars – with the smaller battery in the ‘Pure’ configuration. The Lucid Air Touring already costs 80,400 dollars, with the Grand Touring (112,400 dollars) also dropping the aforementioned 100,000 mark. The top-of-the-range Sapphire model for 250,500 dollars is unlikely to be involved – even though this 920 kW variant is also offered by US Armor as an armoured vehicle.
