Albania is like a heaven for old MB cars, it's where these cars live a second life. And because their quality, MB is the most sold brand on used market. These cars are amazing. My dad has one (w124 E300) as a 2nd car, with 320 tkm, bought 20 years ago with 150 tkm. Still driving like a 🏆. But in you're case I think that the cars were not well taken care of in the past. I've seen W124 with a lot higher mileage than these and in better shape. Nevertheless, great video and adventure 👏

That dealers rip off car owners has long been a fact; without going into details a Nissan dealer located just North of Dallas once quoted me $1000 to replace a $5 part, literally a 20,000% mark up, with a socket set and pliers I was able to perform the fix in 30 minutes, so even with labor it would have been a 1000% markup, assuming they'd go ahead and claim an hour. Learning DIY car maintenance may in fact be one of the best investments in acquiring knowledge a person can make. I was in Dallas attending a training program for a job, so didn't have tools with me or I'd never have gone to a dealer in the first place. If you really do need skilled repairs done, research and find a well recommended private mechanic shop they don't have a steady stream of clueless car owners that will agree to any price they quote.

Just have to point out the Model S LR torque listed on that comparison was incorrect. It's hard to find a non-Plaid torque figure, but the most-likely-correct number I've seen is 723 lb-ft of torque. The Air Touring has more torque and the Model S LR has more HP. And the Air Grand Touring beats them both.

Totally agree, very nice car, initial price is very high but used price is a bargain, again being a luxury German car, with high maintenance costs, keep buyers away. I am getting a used( 2019 top trim) one soon, hopefully pick it up next week.

Greetings from a Lucid driver in Europe! I really enjoyed your video and I completely agree with your criticism. The software definitely needs further development - unfortunately we haven't received any new updates here in Europe for months. Nevertheless, I enjoy every kilometer I drive in this car. It's definitely a real eye-catcher!
@watercannonscollaboration22817 күн бұрын
I’m not a big “car technology” person, as much I find the “beta testing” thing with car software a bit revolting, Lucid is a new company, and I think I can forgive them to a degree on still trying to figure some stuff out
@larrylevin1278 күн бұрын
Great video. I have had my Lucid the exact same amount of time and could not agree more about the software issues. It’s got to get better or it will never match up to Tesla. I’ve had three Teslas and the ride quality of each sucked, but the tech blows away Lucid. Time will tell if the software improves overall once the Gravity is released.

I’ve had a Genesis GV60 for 8 months and I’ve driven it over 9,000 miles! You should take your Lucid on the road 😅 The drive up to Morro Bay is nice, you should be able to make it without stopping and there’s a nice EA station there. I love my GV60 and I’ve had none of the frustrations you describe. Not quite the range your Lucid has but more range than my bladder has, so I’m good. You should check out the GV60 when your lease is up.

You didn't mention the charging experience. I would think EVgo and Electrify America are sh!t shows - that's what everyone else has said. I don't recall Lucid signing onto the Tesla charging standard. That said the car is fine but I personally don't think they did a good job on the look. It looks frumpy. It doesn't look sporty, futuristic or fast. They won't be making a profit for a long, long time and only still exist because of Saudi Arabian oil money.
@jamesrea3298 күн бұрын
Over the past year I’ve had no problems with EA or EVgo in my Genesis GV60. I’ve taken several fairly long road trips. I’m not saying others aren’t having problems but it’s not as bad as some people say. Lucid did sign up for Supercharger access, it should be available soon. However, because Tesla doesn’t fully support 800v cars, the charging speeds will be limited at Supercharger stations.

Why is a EV at this price point having these deficiencies? WTF???! I got an Ariya Evolv+ E4orce and EV6 GT and never had any such problems and both have 360 view cameras some of semi-self driving stay in the lane whatevers and they all just, and they work fine with android auto (and supposedly both support crApple craplay) and never had an issue using it with my android phones, and both EVs combined would cost less than 1 stupid Lucid.

Might buy one of these used in a few years if Lucid is still operating as a company. Their Gravity pre-orders are open now and I think there will be a lot of Lucid Airs on the used market when they actually start delivering the Gravity. I definitely would not lease or buy new, yet, though. Just throwing away money IMO.
