Hello, Lucid fans! This is Paul. I am delighted to welcome this week Paul Grondal, creator and host of YouTube’s Life After 70 as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver Podcast. As suggested by its name, Life After 70 is about much more than just being a Lucid owner. In fact, Paul has done a lot of noteworthy things after 70. Like taking delivery of one of the worlds fastest sedans at 75. Or attaining his private airplane pilot’s license at 70. Or well into his seventies continuing to serve as CEO of the software company he founded 40 years prior.

Paul has been in the technology industry for over 40 years and founded a software company in 1984, which he continues to run today at age 77. He reserved his Lucid Air Pure in October 2021 and took delivery in April 2023. With a deep interest in EV technology, Paul developed an iOS app to calculate EV battery range, which he released in March 2024 along with a companion website, www.evrangecalculator.com, to share what he has learned with other EV owners. He also hosts the Life After 70 YouTube channel focused on his experiences owning an EV, covering topics like charging, range, efficiency, safety, comfort, performance, and more. Outside of tech and EVs, Paul discusses several matters of particular relevance to seniors seemingly with an underlying message that you are never too old. After all, he earned his pilot license at age 70.

Hello, Lucid fans! This is Paul. Now for a Lucid story that is somewhat unique. I am delighted to welcome Josh as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast. Josh’s Lucid Grand Touring first appeared in Black Rabbit, a Netflix miniseries set in the New York night club scene starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman. Most recently, Josh’s Lucid, appeared in the Netflix remake of the Alan Alda classic The Four Seasons, this one starring Tina Fey and Steve Carell.

Josh grew up around cars. His parents had a Model A Ford when he was young, so they went to a lot of antique car events. His first car was a Ford Model T Woody Wagon at 15 that he restored to a prize winning classic over the next five years. He drove that car from Texas to Georgia along with the A-model and then bought a 54 Chevy and trailer in Georgia and trailered the Model T up to New York to complete his move. Since that time, Josh has owned or restored multiple classics including a BMW 2002 Tii, BMW 3.0 CSI, Volvo P 1800es glass back wagon, BMW 600 Isetta (which he still has) BMW Z8 (also still has), Fiat Topolino (which he still has but in pieces) as well as a run of electric cars. Josh has two Tesla Model S performances, then his movie star Lucid Grand Touring, and are you ready for this—he has a Lucid Gravity on order.

Josh’s Grand Touring is not the first big-screen star he has owned: His Tesla Model S was used in used in Showtimes’ Billions; his BMW Z8 was used for the Sex and the City series, his BMW 600 Isetta was in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
