The (stealth) grill is much more appealing than the monster-sized, in-your-face badges of a few brands out there. Love the name.

[@SupraSav]

Grilles are always smaller/nonexistent on EVs, that's a no brainer. Much less cooling needed in that area when compared to ICE of the same performance.

[@tjtampa214]

@@SupraSav I was not referring to the size of the grill. The grill is stealth and quiet (figuratively speaking) because the "brand" or "badge" on the front is so different in size from (for example) the Mercedes badge. Mercedes decided to enlarge their badge to like 3 or 4 times the normal size it used to be. Some people think it is obnoxious. That is what my comment was about. If it has to do with cooling the engine, I've never heard anything related to that.

[@Glenwood501]

I happened to have the Mercedes EQE, and love the grill. The vehicle get compliments about the style all the time, and the ride is excellent.

[@BraadDNB]

As far as I know, it all comes down to the fact that in China, larger grills on cars are seen as somewhat of a status symbol, thats why in recent years, we've seen cars like Mercedes and BMW make the grills enormous, to appeal more to the Chinese market .

We have a 2022 Air Dream Performance and a 2021 Tesla Model S Plaid (replaced our 2015 Model S P90D). Absolutely agree. The Air trounces the Mosel S in roominess, handling, quietness, ease of operation (with well-thought-out buttons for key functions and better camera views, including birds-eye view for parking) and build quality. Even though the Plaid is a tick quicker under hard acceleration, its front end goes loose under hard acceleration while the Air Dream stays more planted, thus actually making its power more usable. Our Lucid, with over 20,000 miles on the odometer remains rock solid. Our Model S Plaid had developed squeaks and groans in the rear quarters by 10,000 miles.

Lucid is really onto something great. They really want to be the top premier EV company and they are putting their everything.

I love the sapphire bear logo. California bear looks cool. I wish Lucid introduces coupe version of sapphire air sometime soon.

[@DJSpatula]

The price of this car is absurd, but it's one of the most beautiful cars I've seen. I understand the Sapphire name and the color, but for 250k, limiting to one color is a little odd.

Need to bring the prices down to the market. $40-60K would be ideal.

[@JasonB72481]

@@cbotten106 need to go lower, lol. We need 32K base models. If they hit that sweet spot, especially with a crossover, I'm sorry, sedans are a dying breed now, they could literally print money. I'm hearing great things about the Model 3 performance, I just need something like that, giving the old late 90s M3 vibe, but with a heads up display or at least a Guage cluster, if be happy.

[@MrGlitch888]

Lucid is still in the stage Tesla was in when revealing the model S/X but they are much better and winning against every other vehicle of the same class regardless of it being electric or not. Insane level of engineering at Lucid and wish them success through this difficult time. One downside to Lucid is their horrible website and vehicle lineup, it needs to be simple and clean like Tesla so this video was very much appreciated.

[@druiz012]

They do have insane engineering but they need to tone it down and make cars they can actually make money on. I wish them the best but it doesn't look promising.

I am always fascinated by your camera control one-handed with an ordinary mobile phone. Great job and great content. 👍😎

[@AnupamDubey1]

I was wondering about that too, and I won’t be surprised if Marques uses a fancy gimbal with advanced stabilization, with monitor on the back of the phone, and buttons for quick smooth flips.

Here are the key takeaways from the video about the Lucid Air Sapphire: 1. It's an ultra-high-performance version of the Lucid Air sedan, similar to AMG for Mercedes or M for BMW. It costs $250,000. 2. Exterior design cues that identify the Sapphire include the exclusive blue/green paint color, carbon fiber mirrors, rear spoiler/diffuser, and "Sapphire" badging. 3. It has 1,234 horsepower and can accelerate 0-60 mph in under 2 seconds. It's one of the quickest production sedans ever made. 4. Special performance tires have a grippier outer compound for cornering while maintaining efficiency on the highway. 5. Interior has Alcantara trim, sport seats, and lots of "Sapphire" branding to remind you it's the top trim. 6. Incredibly spacious cabin and trunk space, with best-in-class rear legroom according to the reviewer. 7. Drives unlike any 5,000+ lb sedan thanks to incredible grip, traction control, and a supple yet composed suspension. 8. Three distinct driving modes let you choose between comfort, sport, and maximum track performance. 9. The reviewer calls it the best performance sedan in the world currently, with no real downsides besides the $250k price tag.

[@cbotten106]

@@empirevapor1455 Lucid has sold roughly 40 of these and are in the process of attempting to establish a Mercedes AMG or BMW M type sub-brand. So, I'll posit that your dream of buying a Sapphire "on the cheap" will remain the stuff of fantasy. 1in7.8b's less than prescient claims to the contrary notwithstanding. The beauty here is a whole lot of the tech on Sapphire is digital, downloadable 1's & 0's, and applicable to less spicy versions of Air. Let's see if Lucid has the guts to let the less well heeled Air owners utilize it.

[@empirevapor1455]

@@cbotten106 your probably right. Eventually deprecation gets almost all cars. Unless it’s a crazy limited run. If they can survive for the next few years I see the sapphire going to. Mid teir model as new more powerful motors and better battery tech emerge and the new top dog would be low 8’s high 7’s. That’s hopes lol until then I’ll stick with the plaid and hope lol
