The Best $45K Driver’s EV | 2023 Lucid Air Touring vs 2024 Model 3 Performance

If you have around $40-50K to spend on an EV, do you buy a 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance or a used 2023 Lucid Air Touring? On paper, the Lucid offers more power, more luxury, and a higher market segment, but after driving them back-to-back, the comparison became much more complicated than expected. One excels as a luxury sedan, while the other surprised me as a genuinely engaging driver’s car.
