Kevin from Long Island; NY’s First Lucid Air Touring

Hello, Lucid fans! This is Paul. I am delighted to welcome this week to Lucid Driver, Kevin Walwyn. I met Kevin on the excellent Lucidowners.com which I assume most of you are on, where he posts as DRWHO42 and first came to my attention in a thread about Long Island Lucid owners. While I spent most of my childhood in Brooklyn, I spent my formative years in Long Island and still visit my mom there. After a brief chat Kevin agreed to come on Lucid Driver and share his Lucid Air Touring ownership experience

Kevin was born and raised in Long Island, NY, and lives there with his wife and child. He works in Big Tech focusing on compliance. Lucid was his first ever EV purchase and pretty much was on the top of his list as he started to do his research for a vehicle purchase. They were coming off a couple of Acura’s—an MDX and TSX which they owned for several years and Kevin was getting frustrated with the amount of money he was paying at the pump. He wanted something different from Tesla and some of my top of mind evaluating factors were range and comfort. The Car and Driver ranking steered him to Lucid. 

From what he was told at delivery, his Cosmo Silver Lucid Air Touring delivered December ’22, was the first in NY. Kevin told me, “I generally my vehicle any chance I get for routine errands to some road trips. I have the Lucid Level 2 home charger and I charge at least once a week. My electric bill has gone up on avg $20-25 per month. I am semi-active on Lucid owners forum under the name DRWHO42 and have been to a few events locally—most recently the Gravity launch in NYC. I am active on Twitter and Bluesky under the same name. I try to give Lucid a signal boost in between my retweets of fun posts related to the entertainment industry.”
