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.
