Lucid Motors’ World-Leading Electric Powertrain Breakdown

[@michalkalavsky]

Its a pleasure to see such beautiful engineering, power of science, great minds, when they work together on productive things ❤ For me its like classic music.

[@Yousefs-p4b]

@ manufacturing depands on many things, one of which is economy, we are at the end of economic cycle, high interest rates, inflation as well.

[@kenhiett5266]

Agreed. Tesla was built strategically to upend convention and market forces to become the most economically sound auto manufacturer in history. An incentive structure that produced 2 of the best per dollar mass production vehicles the world has ever seen. With all that said, I'm rooting for Lucid. Their high-resolution strategy will hopefully continue to deliver state of the art engineering and an ultimate example for those who can afford it. That can only be a positive for the industry and EV adoption more broadly.

[@rahulsagarpv]

I’m responsible for Powertrain engineering and this is a treat- I learned so much and it is such a great follow up to the tech talk these guys have done few years ago. Fantastic work- love the fact that they were only 70 engineers doing a vehicle ! 🎉❤

[@MunroLive]

Great to hear!

[@jeremypmerrill]

Wow, I knew Lucid had some impressive engineering, but I feel like this is next level. Aesthetically those drive units are a work of art, completely aside from the compactness, efficiency and scalability. The differential inside the rotor was genius. Having everything balanced and inline with the axle surely cuts down on NVH as well.

It is evident that Lucid was born in Formula One Electric. This level of energy and space efficiency is core to Formula One, be it ICE or BEV. Kudos to them. The odd thing when listening to their comments on manufacturability, why do they make so few cars? In theory they should be in the 100’s of thousands by now. The problem is not the engineers, it’s either their manufacturers or management…. I suspect the latter.

[@nickfosterxx]

Less than ten minutes in and I'm yet again blown away by the complexity and creativity of modern engineering. In every cubic centimetre. If only I could afford one. One day I will own a compact Lucid. Edit: and then the motor. And on and on. Breathtaking. An outstanding presentation. Edit2: but all that wonderful efficiency is to drive a vehicle of over 2 tonnes in order to take eg one 100kg person to work. 95% of trips in the US are under 31 miles if I remember correctly. Average daily mileage around 40. A grossly inefficient use of precious resources.

[@perditus273]

I appreciate the efficiency on many a long trip. This model is meant to cover long distances, but the mid-size will likely be more appealing for shorter trips.

[@Miata822]

A small company can't build mass market small cars. That's why Lucid is offering its technology to other manufacturers. The smaller Atlas drive unit for Lucid's mid-size vehicles (starting late '26) should sell well into the global mass market through other existing mass manufacturers.

[@adrianleitch6996]

Would love to see a small-mid sized car with all this efficient inverter/motor tech, the absolute latest battery tech, then manage say 250 miles on a charge from a 'small' 40kWh battery or something, maximise usable space in it's smaller footprint, weigh like 1.2 ton and be the most efficient 'regular' car by far. Aptera is going to be darned efficient but a bit too far out of the mainstream. Was hoping for a Tesla Model 2 but the Cybercab is taking all that love, it didn't even need to be a 25k car either tbh, say 30k don't care, give me something with all the good tech and great efficiency and smart packaging that should be possible in an EV please someone.

[@spdcrzy]

@@adrianleitch6996 precisely. Lucid needs to go even smaller. But knowing that their CEO can trace his beginnings all the way back directly to Colin Chapman is a big relief. "Simplify, then add lightness" is exactly what Lucid have done here. It's incredibly heavy, yes, but that is simply a byproduct of modern battery technology. I think by 2030 we'll see Lucids with 300 mile ranges that weigh less than 4000lb and still put out 400+hp. E39 M5 performance, anyone?

I thought the trunk molding and undercut manufacturing and assembly process had to be super expensive. Nope! It's just really, REALLY smart. I just really hope that Lucid realizes this and makes as much of their product user-replaceable and user-repairable as possible. Even in the front fascia, where there are so many super expensive components, EVERYTHING seems to be held on with screws and bolts instead of adhesives (or worse, clips) which makes things easier to repair (even if they're not as cheap). Their battery modules are a really good example - the pack is modular, the modules themselves are simple and ALSO modular without any unnecessary bonding or adhesive agents, the busbar is lightweight and made of aluminum, and the ballistic shield protects all of it. And the entire underfloor is also bolted in instead of welded or bonded to the structure - great for repair and service.

Only Aptera comes close to level of innovation, imho.

[@joe2mercs]

The lucid power unit is compact, lightweight and efficient. While there is an aspiration for Lucid to build integrated vehicles that exploit their power units attributes to the full they should be selling them wholesale as ‘plug-in’ solutions to other EV manufacturers. Let the third party manufacturers worry about the aerodynamics and efficiency of implementation. It’s great engineering but Lucid really needs to reverse its cash burn and start turning the corner to profitability. If they do not they will go bust and regard,ESA’s of the elegance of their engineering someone will swallow them whole and acquire their technology anyway.

Good video w/ lots of hard info. Let's assume it is part of the drive systems sales push to other OEMs.

Tesla, BYD and other EV engineers are furiously taking notes. I'm hoping that Lucid isn't showing all of their tricks in these videos. Same something for the Lucid Earth.

The problem of course with such optimised integrated design is that you are actually now extremely constrained! Basically, you can't actually change anything without changing everything. So, lets hope they have got their sums right.........
