Sorry Tesla, but the Lucid Air is way more luxurious and spacious

Newcomer Lucid Motors has generated quite the buzz since it announced its Air electric car late last year.

The California-based company's EV, which also has an autonomous driving system, has been billed by many as a Tesla "killer" that's more high tech and luxurious than the Model S.

I got a chance to sit — unfortunately, I didn't get to drive or even ride in one on the streets — in the Air at the New York Auto Show and I have to say, it felt more like being in a private jet or in a first-class plane cabin than in a road vehicle.
