Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Joerg Maass as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast. I “met” Joerg online when I posted some like this celebratory milestone on my Lucid Driver podcast Facebook Group: “Lucid Driver reached our 60th country today but I have yet to host an international guest.” Well, I’d like to give a big welcome to my first international guest, Jorg Maab of Germany! By the way, in the weeks since reaching 60 countries, we are now up to country #70! Great for the podcast, and in my view a positive sign for Lucid Motors.

Joerg told me, “I am 61 years old and a freelance IT consultant specializing in security and operations management. I mainly work for large corporations, currently for Germany’s largest steel producer and a bank. I’m married to a Canadian with two grown up kids, one is currently doing her master’s in biology, and my son plans to join the police force after his voluntary year in social services. I like technology, speed, aeronautics (I was an avid skydiver) and water and am an active sailor, shipping tourists around in a sailboat on a Bavarian lake. I also like history and politics and follow political events closely.

I got interested in Lucid when I read about them in some publications and saw pictures of the Air. At the time, I was driving an Alfa Romeo Q4 Veloce, not a slow car by any means, but I was interested in electric cars and thought the Lucid Air might be a good, but expensive, match. I arranged for a test drive in Munich as soon as Lucid came to Germany and was blown away by the Dream Edition. I also test drove cars like the Lotus Emeya, BYD Han, Nio ET7, Pole Star 2 and HiPhi X. None of them compared to the Lucid, so I decided to take the leap and leased my black (with aluminum) Touring in October 2024.

Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Kevin Andrews as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast. I “met” Kevin online when he posted the following: “Today's NJ Lucid Owners Club Event. My green Air found a green Gravity buddy!” Well, Lucid Airs do not come in green from the plant, so I thought it would be fun to invite Kevin on the podcast, responding, “Wow a unique Air. I’m inviting you to come on Lucid Driver Podcast and talk about it. Mine is Fathom Blue—I’m green with envy.” Kevin agreed as he responded, “Sure, it would be fun.” (Kevin was right.)

Kevin, originally from Venezuela told me, “I work in IT leadership in the medical device industry, so my day-to-day is all about technology and making complex systems actually work in the real world. I’ve always had a really strong tech mindset—I’m constantly analyzing, optimizing, and automating everything I can. That carries into my hobbies too. I’m really into cars and try to get on a racetrack at least once a year, although I haven’t taken an EV out on track yet. That same mindset is what drew me to Lucid. I drive a Lucid Air Touring, and I don’t really see it as just a car—it’s more like a high-end tech platform that I get to evaluate every day, both from a systems perspective and a driving perspective. So, I’m excited to talk about what it’s really like to own, where it stands out, and how it compares from both a tech and performance angle.”

Similar words to many I have received from Lucid owners who are often in IT, engineering, operations. But don’t lump Kevin in with everyone else. After all it is very unlikely other Lucid owners have a ride quite like his!

Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome back Rae Millen as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast. I hosted Rae back in August 2025 when both his Lucid Gravity and Lucid Driver podcast were both relatively new. Well, that episode, Rae Millin, From Porsche Taycan to Lucid Gravity, Episode 18 went on to become the most downloaded episode in Lucid Driver podcast’s 11-month history. Since that time, I’ve noticed on the many Lucid-related Facebook groups that I frequent, that Rae has become the (Not So) Elder spokesman on behalf of most things Gravity. A level-headed, clearly informed sea of reason, research, and personal experience in an ocean of hyperbole and frantic, panicked but understandable concern on the part of some Gravity owners.

There is a lot to learn about Rae, and he obviously is not new to this EV world. Check out that earlier episode to get a sense for Rae’s background. It is my pleasure to catch up with Rae after nine months or so of Gravity ownership.
