The lucid air is my favorite of all EV cars. If I had the money, I wouldn’t hesitate to get it. And the rang is by far the best among all EVs. Almost 400 mile range is insane. They nailed this car. It’s absolutely perfect

[@shogoracing4294]

Thanks for reviewing the Lucid Air Grand Touring! I think Lucid is on to something for sure. They have a great product indeed. I know it’s a luxury EV company an all, but I wish they’d release at least a few vehicles in the $40-$50k range to include an SUV (not the Gravity as that’ll surely cost over $70k) to capture the hearts of everyday consumers. Not many of us can afford a $100k vehicle or in my case aren’t looking to spend that much for a vehicle. Price aside, once again, they have a great product. I hope they succeed and are around for many years to come!

[@guidedmeditation2396]

The Globalist Billionaire that helped found and fund Antifa, Blm and the invasion caravans stated his goal in life is the destruction of the US economy and erasure of our borders. What does this have to do with this car? He is heavily invested in the company but not to save the planet. But just to counter the success of Tesla. Is this petty? I don't think so. Great review and I think the car is attractive but buying one will help fund Antifa and invasion caravans. I will have to pass on this one.

[@helder6175]

8:57 - That "Air"-emblem font reminds me something from a late-'40s, 1950s era cars with sort of streamline, art-deco details featured on cars back then which is cool. The taillights remind me of Porsche which is not a bad thing, and the car as a whole looks classy and futuristic. A well executed design and brand which I'm seeing more and more around me next to the Teslas that are constantly seen.

The range is great for a ev . When it comes to charging on the road. Thats a major problem when it comes to non telsas. For example, chargers will be offline or limited to around 50kw for example. Some may not even work as well. Also telsa has opened some of there network in California and New York with something called a magic dock . Its basically a ccs adapter connected to the telsa v3 charger . When it comes to the look, this car looks great.

[@lupavo1738]

That's not Lucid's goal though. They're a very low production luxury EV car company, I believe they only pump out less than 3k cars per year. The Lucid Air is meant to be a direct competitor to the Plaid S and that's Lucid's main goal is to provide an alternate to Tesla's higher end Models (S/X plaid/100D) for people looking to get away from them.

[@blueflameSM]

I really like the updated tech in this car, and it does seem like it'll be overwhelming for first time buyers. But I'll never be able to afford it. $150k? No chance in my lifetime. I do like how the display is right in front of your eyes, not in the center like a Tesla. Great design there imo. I do agree, once we actually saw the car in drive the covering on the driver side door really is big. It's right in your face, and a blindspot. If anything, a redesign, they should find a way to cut that down. If anything, there should be an option to remove the glass roof, that seems more like a niche thing vs. something many would want.

Oh Joe, I can tell you're loving it and I can't blame you. It is one, if not, the best of the bunch. BUT, like so many have said, is it worth the 6 figures? If Lucid can produce these at the $40 to $80K max range in various packages they sell these by the bushel. The German EVs with the exception of BMW and VW, the ride and brakes are mushy - that's you Mercedes-Benz. And the MB interior is over-the-top of my liking. Good luck to Lucid - competition is needed. Great video as always.
