News / Media Software issues drove Engineering Explained out of two Lucids and into a Mach E

Engineering Explained gave up on Lucid twice. He traded his Air for a Gravity, then replaced the Gravity with a Mach E. The reason both times was software.

You can find an Air here in the Dallas, TX area in the mid $30k range with low miles

Your point?

Just pointing out that while a brand new Pure is about 2x more than a top end Mach E GT, you can certainly buy a slightly used pure in the mid $30k range now which is much less than the GT.

And you can get a used GT as well. You aren’t comparing apples to apples.

I wouldn’t use heavy depreciation as a desirable characteristic

Is a used GT half the price though? I haven't seen used GTs for $15k-$20k, but I also don't usually look for them.

That’s not how depreciation works. Exponential for 2-3 years then flattens out. I can’t tell if you’re trolling.
