We Bought a Lucid Air Grand Touring! | Unboxing Our Lucid Air EV | Exterior, Interior, Tech & More!

[@edmundscars]

What's the best standout feature of our long-term Lucid Air Grand Touring? What's not so hot? Let us know and maybe they'll pop up in our long-term blog.

[@Miata822]

The car you received has the 19" wheels. The 21" wheels handle much better.

[@iamgermane]

For the cost of this car it should come with female escorts!

[@HiNetYield]

In your last review you complained tirelessly about the 19” wheels yet you ordered your car with the 19” wheels (sub standard for the Grand Touring). It seems you are determined not to like this car!

[@Miata822]

BTW, best standout feature is the driving experience itself; urban, freeway, quick country road The Lucid Air GT is more about the journey itself, the driving experience, than it is about being a platform for distracting trinkets.

[@American_Energy]

I own two Teslas and have to give it to Lucid for their frunk and trunk… big, nice design, and electrically operated front latch which Tesla should have done years ago. For literally everything else? I’d take the Tesla. Here’s a test: go try and charge at 10 different sites. 5 in town, and 5 on a road trip. I think if you’ll see that Tesla’s real advantage in their ownership experience that they’re vertically integrated. From the hardware, to the software, to the charging network, it all just works.

[@quintonbuntin6713]

Ryan..I nearly stopped the video when you started crying about the smell or the lack thereof..really dude? However I just cringed and continued on. It would have been interesting to hear you briefly discuss the owner "quick start guide". Also maybe some information on the warranty and recommended service intervals. Over all I think it was a good review but I am hoping for better on the next update.

[@killingsp115]

Lol the car companies he was listing for the type of smell are all from Germany, which all use similar suppliers for plastics and leathers; which is why they all have a similar smell to them. It isn't a luxury standard

[@cuteguy9358]

He literally just peeled protective plastics off of most of the car's interior surfaces & complains about the smell. Lol. I guess he's never unboxed a new TV, a new pair of shoes, or literally any FedEx, UPS or Amazon package. 📦

[@chrisvig123]

It should smell like leather at that price point not feces 😮

[@Miata822]

I received my Air GT in March. It was flawless when it was delivered. In a normal delivery an assistant walks the new owner through the setup procedure, with many tips that may take a new owner some time to discover on their own. I have taken two long trips. The car is a joy on the freeway, very stress free, and the charging is phenomenal. The best "feature" of the car is the driving experience, smooth when you want it to be, exhilarating when pressed in Sprint mode. Mine did smell of leather and still does. I wonder why Edmunds' did not. The car in the video has 19" wheels, not 21"s. On hot sunny days you will find that the air conditioner takes a considerable amount of power. Using the ventilated seats allows the use of a more moderate temperature setting if you are worried about range. The big battery means you will seldom worry about range. Get ready for the crowds and questions whenever you stop. I have had several other cars drive unsafely around me on the freeway while their drivers tried to take photos.

[@Spermilk]

I would do the same too lol

[@renanbridi7169]

Yeah I see that. The rims are 19". Looks like that they are working for Mercedez dealer. Telling people that the car sucks and we should buy a Mercedes.

[@nexusebtuoy]

This guys on Edmunds have a fight against lucid,PERIOD

[@Miata822]

@@nexusebtuoy There are some legitimate grips people could have with Lucid. The Air lacks some fearures people may expect (coat hooks, over-door grab handles, things like that). The software is getting better thanks to regular updates but is still a bit slow to load. Having said all that, it is the car part of the car that makes it all worthwhile. It drives like no other car. Fast, efficient, range, charging, yes, yes, but aside from all those headline items it is the feel, the confidence, the authority it has over the road. Those unquantifiable things put this car on another level from anything that came before. *Update* I did get the "UX 2.0" major OTA software update. It resolved all the issues that had been present in the original version. I also learned that I will be getting an update to install Apple CarPlay in December, with Sirius XM to follow.

[@earlessroboticcat7102]

Just to let you know, Lucid got their leather from the same factory in Scotland that Rolls Royce, Lamborghini, Ashton Martin, etc got from to use in their interior. So you saying at 7:30 that it ‘isn’t the same as Benz, Audi, BMW’ didn’t really make sense. Since you’re a Lucid owner now, you have the right to know where they sourced their leather. I have a GT, before I got the car I asked a bunch of questions and how the interior smelled just like Rolls Royce and they gave me a bunch of information about where they sourced it. Here’s also another thing, if you don’t like the leather smell since ‘it doesn’t’ smell luxurious, smell a Birkin. Both the leather smells the exact same

[@aussie2uGA]

He may not be smelling the leather but another compound in the car is coming through. It could even be an adhesive.

[@brianlee9233]

Man. This Air Grand Touring is just beyond beautiful. It's absolutely gorgeous!

[@Miata822]

Totally agree. Now, I can afford this kind of car, I have this exact one, but it sounds to me that Edmunds resents the price tag and has an Axe to grind against Lucid. Yes, Lucids are expensive. They have a really nice interior, and the panel gaps could probably be tighter, but that's not where the money went. Lucid Airs are drivers' cars. The suspensions, aerodynamics (including downforce), and handling are like no sedan you have ever driven. Peter Rawlinson designed race cars after getting his engineering degree, then was head engineer at Jaguar and then head engineer at Lotus while Lotus was working on the original Tesla Roadster. Musk recruited him there to design the chassis and body of the original Model S (no matter what Musk says). Moving to Atieva and changing its name to Lucid, Rawlinson recruited Derek Jenkins fresh off his sportier, lighter redesign of the MX5 Miata. He then recruited aerodynamicist Jean-Charles Monnet away from the Red Bull Formula 1 team. Those are the people, along with other high performance automotive pros, who made the Lucid drive like it does. Lucid has obsessed on every detail of design (see their KZbin channel). The car is luxurious, yes, but the money and the investment went into making it a phenomenal performance car. That is the priority, but on top of that the interior is luxurious, the ride in "Smooth" mode is incredibly quiet and comfortable, charging is faster than any other EV made, and the range far exceeds any production EV ever. Never in my life have I stuck a pen between the door and A-pillar of a car to test it, and neither has anyone other than a but hurt Edmunds reviewer who is disappointed with his life and wishing he had tried harder in school so that today he could afford a Lucid. Those are 19" wheels on the car he showed, not 21". Expect him to b1+ch about the handling, even though he has the Eco-SuperRange tires. Almost everybody orders the 21s. That's because almost everyone besides Edmonds knows what this car is really about. Edmunds. Are they trolls? or "somewhere on the spectrum"? You decide. I've wasted enough time on this.

Reserved in March 2021, I confirmed my GT reservation in December and received the car in March. On the "Bears Workshop" youtube channel I have seen several cars with metal roofs in the post-production lot. While those were likely pre-production samples I do know that the production line shut down for some time to install the equipment needed to build Touring and Pure versions.

Few things.. -Thats the top trim level not the mid. The mid-trim is the Touring and that isn't even out yet... -The leather is full grain nappa leather. Same leather as Rolls, Bentley... -When you take ownership, an advisor will be with the customer and go through the set up process. So all the issues you focused on in the beginning, a new customer wouldnt even deal with. -Grand Touring COMES with Spotify and Tidal which you'd be logged into with an advisor when you get your car... -The pilot pannel, you just press on the arrow and wait for the graphic to fill and then let go. You don't swipe up. Why leave a huge smudge on your screen for no reason?

[@SpockvsMcCoy]

The beige carpets and floor mats will be a NIGHTMARE to keep clean. (I worked at a Lexus dealership in the 1990s when their models offered a similar interior color scheme). Apparently Lucid designers thought that dark seating surfaces make a stylish contrast with light carpeting...but that is impractical in the real world. Instead, carpeting/floor mats should be a medium shade of brown or gray (to hide dirt/stains)...with lighter colored (or matching color) seating surfaces that won't have the contact of dirty shoes.

[@krissche1863]

Only here for the Lucid. Appreciate the run through but I will probably buy one no matter the final results of your review. Not a single Production car out there that looks this good, with EV's even less. Some are copying Lucid's look but I believe that all minor issues will be solved once I can buy it here in Sweden. Norway seems to be getting a studio so I might be able to import.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Well they seem to be making about 3 per week so you might be waiting a while. I'm kidding of course, but they are having a lot of trouble ramping up production (as all EV startups are finding out) and I wish them the best of luck.

[@Miata822]

It seems that Edmunds, once a respectable publication, has decided to troll Lucid. Perhaps they think they will regain popularity by mocking a costly product. Perhaps they hope to gain favor with the hyper-partisan Tesla fanboi crowd. Whatever the motivation, it does seem obvious that their intent is to find fault wherever they can, while neglecting the core features of Lucid vehicles.

@@Miata822 Leaving Tesla out of the equation, Lucid still has trashy quality too… The problem is that is way more expensive so when I got mine and noticed that the display was flimsy and laggy, the buttons on the steering wheel were flimsy as well, you obviously can’t help but feel bad and, honestly, impotence. Don’t get me wrong, even with all these issues that bother me I won’t change it because I love the aesthetic of the car as a whole (and because I was told that those weren’t “real issues” so there was nothing they could do about it)

Panel gaps and loose trim on a new car will only get worse over time as the vehicle ages....this vehicle's exterior fit and finish would be barely acceptable in a $75,000 car. There is also noticeable orange peel in the paint near the charging port.

[@wurly164]

Luxury cars have to keep coming up with more gimmicks to justify the price. Soft close doors are just something that's going to fail. The tablet hanging out in space is just looking for trouble. Let's face it a fully loaded Toyota or Honda has every thing you need. I drive a 21 Audi A5 and it's loaded with problems. This car has over 800 hp and thats not needed, it's fun but say it had 300 hp, that's more than enough power and the range should go up.

[@quartytypo]

Bad news. No more room at Wawa for charging. Take a ticket and go inside for a meal and wait. Do some laps around the block for exercise.

[@baroneleve1196]

Haaaaahahahahah, this car is way more expensive than a base Mercedes S class which has a starting base price of $111,100. There's absolutely no way it cost more to build this lucid car than an S class. I've entered both cars. You can instantly tell which has a more rich, more expensive, and more opulent interior. The S class frankly is the closest you can get to top-tier cars such as Bentley, Rolls Royce, etc. So, how exactly did Lucid arrive at such astronomical prices for this car? What's even crazier is how the top-of-the-line Lucid Sapphire. That one starts at $249000. Utter madness. Even the 2023 Bentley Flying Spur starts at $190,000. That car is heads over this car in every aspect besides acceleration and this being an EV. Poor built quality, so how exactly did Lucid arrive at these ludicrous prices❓The care certainly isn't worth the asking price. Utter madness. But of cause people will buy.

So the trunk to body panel is the most controversial and should by default be the tightest gap found anywhere because there are no variables in the mechanics of the operation of the deck.

As I have posted elsewhere under this video, i encourage you to see one of these cars for yourself. The video reviewer finds fault where there is none. I am a critical consumer and don't hesitate to find fault. My Lucid Air GT arrived in immaculate condition (I didn't forego the 'dealer prep'). The trunk shut line looks odd to some eyes, but it appeals to me, reminding me of the Citroëns of a generation ago. Have you tried to stick a pen between the door of your S Class and the A pillar? Go try it. I'll wait. This reviewer seems upset by the price. If he wants a Lucid that has less-than-Lamborghini performance all he has to do is order a Touring or Pure model for 50 or 60 thousand dollars less. Beyond that there are only three 4-door cars ever built that are this quick. None of them have nicer interiors or build quality. Two of the three are also Lucids, and all the Lucids have better brakes and suspension than the third.

I recommend visiting a showroom before ordering so you can try it for yourself. Comparing the space to, for instance, a Tesla Model S, might be informative.

Thanks for the thorough look

[@adamnugent2137]

really? for a $150k car and all those problems? come on now!

[@erezyoal]

140k is too much plus 15k Price bump ? No thank you

[@frankthefrog2003]

This reviewer is the type of person who should not be buying a Tesla, Lucid, Rivian, etc. These are startups and some imperfections should be expected. Go buy something else?

[@anthonynguyen2920]

So you are spending 150k for a product and you should not expect much because the company JUST starts up?!??! 🥲

[@bossusa365]

Beautiful car . Wish I can afford one . Thanks for the review

[@bassistdc]

It's 80 k too high in price. I'll keep my VW ID.4.

[@eddiecarbajal6707]

I didn't see a spare tire. Do they not include one for $150k ?

[@jackylsmith8138]

The only EV’s that you can get a spare tire are the Ford Lightning and Rivian R1T. I think it is standard on the Ford and optional on the Rivian.

[@michaelborohovski4015]

No spare, like almost any other EV, but they do have a tire repair kit.

All American cars Quilty is poor no different to lucid

[@PS3Gameplays123]

Let’s be real. This car will not be representative of what a normal customer could expect. They clearly went through it with a fine tooth since it was going to Edmunds

[@lotsofcurveslover]

Yep, and they still didn’t fix the trunk lid fit or the piece of foam sticking out.

[@michaelborohovski4015]

As an owner, you're incorrect; the car is fantastic.

[@dusty-vo8gh]

Exactly, when it came of the line it was singled out taken outback and finely adjusted. Lucid did not want to get burned twice.

[@michealjackson8269]

It’s so beautiful such a clean design

[@nauticalstar8363]

How do you like it after 8 months of owning it?

[@edkwon]

Dem ASMR unboxing tingles

[@chicoeur619]

For that price, i'll rather get two great Porsche

[@JohnJohn-wo8qy]

Why are you trying to shake stuff around??Try it with any other car especially tesla. Without too much force you will end up removing tesla’s ipad! Lol! You are funny but in annoying way! Did you buy the car to show that you can shake it’s screen and it’s boxes??🙄
