Peter Rawlinson, Lucid Motors’ affable chief technology officer, was on hand to show off some of the car’s cooler features. Sitting in the vehicle’s leather-upholstered backseat, he gestured for me to try out the reclining mechanism which is controlled by a touchscreen panel that curves out from the armrest at an odd angle.

There are three different seat settings: upright, slightly reclined, and fully reclined — and when I say fully reclined, I mean fully. I was pretty much horizontal in the backseat of the car. As someone over six feet tall, this was no small feat. That said, it was both weird and a little awkward. Rawlinson explained how this could be a very comfortable way to travel via Uber, for example, but all I could think about was how it must feel to be psychoanalyzed in the Air. (Also, I’m finding it difficult to imagine an Uber driver using the Air as his primary vehicle. A Honda CRV this thing ain’t.)

One thing is for sure: there is no better way to view the Air’s unique windshield-sunroof hybrid than by fully reclining in the backseat. The windshield extends over the roof of the car over a foot passed the point where it normally ends. This was another design feature carried over from by Rawlinson from Tesla, where he worked for many years as leader engineer on the Model S. Like Tesla, though, the Air could find itself experiencing the same problems that come with having that much windshield: too much sunlight. Tesla’s been distributing free sunshades to Model X owners to better them from blinding light.
