Lucid Sapphire Smashes Tesla Plaid's Acceleration - 2 Jasons 1 Car

[@EngineeringExplained]

**Full disclosure** - this episode happened mostly by coincidence; we both happened to be at the same event, and for road drives you typically need a driving parter (not enough cars for every outlet to have their own), so Jason agreed to be in the video. That said, I'd love to get your honest feedback on it. *If* coincidentally we are are at future events together, I'm happy to try and make it happen again, if folks like the format. What would you want to see happen differently next time? And to those who watch the whole video, you the MVP, thanks!!

I have followed both components of Jason² for years, and there is no question that this is my favorite video that either of you have ever made. As an engineer with the flawed engineer brain, I love the authentic, unscripted banter about the Air and its unbelievable successes as well as the discussion of Lucid's uncertain future as a new player in the automotive world. Appreciating breakthroughs in technology while simultaneously critiquing the perfectionist mindset in the real world (all with an hint of automotive history) is simply the perfect mix. You both communicate well and have excellent chemistry together. I really hope you guys continue to collaborate in this relaxed fashion.

[@andrewhigdon8346]

They are forced by the rules of business to do exactly what they are doing. Luxury cars make the quickest ROI for manufacturers. Bottom feeder cars are needed to bolster the long term bottom line as well, but that takes longer, hence the Tesla Model S first, then the Model 3 and Y. Ford did the Model T, in any color you wanted, but all at the same time, black. But that market was there waiting for that product. The timing was impeccable. That can’t be done right now. Remember though, that when the Model S was the most important car to come out since the Model T, said the major magazines. I agree.

[@someguyontheinternet7165]

Honestly this is the perfect combo. Cammisa brings in a little more humor and seems to extract more from your as well. He also adds a dose of emotion both around a car and brand which. That transforms an object into a story. It gives a more complete picture compared to an overly pragmatic mechanical approach which obviously everyone here also deeply enjoys. Diving into the mechanics satiates the inner nerd and helps inspire creativity in your viewers own life. A driving force for turning your army of 8 year olds into tomorrows Lucid 2.0.

Interesting conversation. I love the direction Lucid is taking with the Sapphire. Regarding the difference between the Sapphire and the Plaid with some small differences they are very similar in the straight and on the track as far as actual times. The rest is subjective feelings. Whether the price difference is worth it highly depends upon the buyer. There are certainly a lot more people who can afford $90k vs. $250k. Overall the competition and pace of advancement is a huge win for everyone. It’s not just changing the auto industry, it’s changing the energy industry, robotics, Ai, really the entire world.

Jason C offers videos that are always very entertaining, and I appreciate his coverage of historical vehicles and he (and Randy) seems very enthusiastic about what he is doing. Jason F offers videos that are usually explaining something interesting, so I am paying very close attention, hanging onto every word making sure I understand every detail of what he is saying. Good the hear the explanation about braking for these quick cars - can accelerate faster than they can brake. Interesting to hear Jason C’s take on the handling of the Sapphire. We have finally reached the stage where the car‘s computer can control traction better than a human driver.

[@newtonfirefly3584]

@@Muskar2 You both lack the information, knowledge that Lucid designs, develops, manufactures, produces every electric motor for Tesla and Lucid. Tesla purchases all of their components from other manufactures, producers. Only their S/W is developed within Tesla along with the robot manufacturing implementation, with assistance; Both of these have serious issues. Tesla has "Globalist/Elite" backing as do Lucid, Rimac, etc. Elon Musk is among their 'puppets', at least since PayPal with Peter Thiel; co-founders.

I understand I’m in the minority here, but I think this comparison is analogous to: 1) If I had FU money, would I buy a Ferrari/Lambo over an Emira? No. 2) If I had FU money, would I buy a Lucid over a Tesla? Yes. But to your point, #2 is just generally true for luxury-leaning vehicles. The more categorically expensive luxury is more often the better luxury.

$250K vs $110K(with $20K track package) Tesla build quality is garbage though.

For sure! As discussed in the video, though it’s $90k vs $250k. With that extra $50k you could pair your Lucid with an M3P 😉! And there’s always a bigger fish, Lucid gets very close to Rimac times, yet Rimac is $2M.

I think the price is justifiable. It's the fastest car and, according to Jason, the most playful passenger car. At least for the time being, if they didn't sell it for that much, scalpers would. Once the brand is established and you can get one without waiting in line for a year, then they can lower the price to keep the waiting list favorable to them.

When they sold the first Saphire to a real customer, he was assigned to install the front and rear windscreens to make sure they were as perfect as could be without damage (long story there) along with checking the entire car.

Wow!!! Camisa's analysis and ability to communicate said analysis is so amazing each time I experience it but this was a new level. Thanks other Jason!

[@ianlatham2975]

Definitely want to see more videos with Jason Squared; you have a natural chemistry and charisma that blends really well. Throttle House needs to be wary.

Am I the only one is insanely impressed with the suspension? It has to be incredible to be able to handle the power!

[@EngineeringExplained]

And be comfortable, and handle well, it's a great suspension.

[@mrgeebennett1009]

What an great absorbing video, I found what you were saying really interesting. Your description of handling (Jason C) painted an image in my head of the car being driven as if I was the driver. Loved the geeky tech stuff too. You guys should do more stuff like this again. Please can you do the Lucid Gravity when it comes out too??

[@MrSamPhoenix]

These two should start a channel together. One Jason is the serious technical part, while the other is the silly crazy half.

[@chrisbraid2907]

Hey they both could do both parts !

[@dan725]

WE NEED MORE 2JasonZ!!!!!!!!!! I LOVED THIS VIDEO with two of my favorite automotive personalities on KZbin!!!!!

[@jeffk412]

fantastic interplay between the 2 Jasons! I would love to see more of this!

[@MikesTropicalTech]

Great video! I admire Lucid's engineering also, but I hope that the company survives long-term. They've got Saudi money keeping them afloat but that's not a good business model if you're not selling cars in volume.

[@rp9674]

Not good in a couple of ways

[@meanboy2000]

November 7th is earnings day. Will be interested in the number of deliveries they made.

[@wompa70]

This video was great. Loved watching you two talk. I think that if you can afford this car and want it, it's worth the price. Consistency is key. Cars may not have as many things to monitor but look at an airplane's instruments. Regardless of what is being measured, the unit being used, or what "normal" is, all the needles point up. If one needle is pointed to the left, you know at a glance something's wrong.

[@Amber57499]

Damn how do you drive backwards so quickly and effortlessly?

[@rrshse6704]

Camisa is the best thing that happened to your show ;) Welcome to big time Jason !

[@usonumabeach300]

I took a bit to watch this because of it's run time, but I really enjoy it. Seeing Jason C be less presenter mode and just chatting was exceptionally interesting.

[@TheMadmax0609]

Agreed, I love my Plaid but Tesla needs to bring the stalks back.. and can we put the horn back in the proper place, please?

[@rightwingsafetysquad9872]

Loved seeing the 2 Jasons together. Cammisa looked so uncomfortable sitting on the wrong side of the car.

[@caleb30]

I see Jason Cammisa, I click

[@EngineeringExplained]

I love that KZbin suggests “translate to English” when I see this comment. 😂 What does Cammisa even mean?!

[@caleb30]

@@EngineeringExplained that’s hilarious. Hope you guys find a reason to collaborate in the future.

[@sevensixtysteve8662]

This was one of the best videos I’ve seen recently. Great rapport, genuinely funny and entertaining but also informative and inciteful, this format definitely works !

[@JacobFramework]

How many times will I see this video? I don't know, but it's many

[@caseymurray7722]

You guys should make this be a recurring series!

[@theodavies8754]

Twice the weight and 4 times the torque will shred the roads. Buy now,pay later.

[@2006gtobob]

I agree that you two are extremely good together. You should do a series where the one Jason is the engineer describing what something is capable of on the whiteboard and the other Jason does the yahoo crazy stuff putting the math to the test. And it doesn't matter which Jason does what.

[@justinpeterson6965]

Wow. Two of my favorites together in the same video! Love it!

[@murrieteacher]

This has to be one on the all time best videos I have watched. Thanks Jasons.

[@learning_the_hard_way]

I dont get all the Tesla hatred. A car can be good without trashing another.

[@rp9674]

If you look at KZbin comments, you don't get a fair chance to appreciate Tesla cuz there are so many obnoxious Tesla fan trolls, probably mostly children
