What It's Like to Live with a Lucid Air Sapphire (POV)

[@Adamlllllllllllljjjljljjjjj]

People can get annoyed about the price of this, but the fact that a car like this exists is cool. It’s like a more exclusive Tesla model S plaid. I also love how practical it is for a saloon/sedan

[@SwirlyTwirl]

There's always people complaining about the price of Lucids and i'm pretty sure it's because they don't realize that they're a luxury brand.

Something that solidified my respect for them was savagegeeses videos on both the sapphire and the base model pure. Seems like lucid really put a ton of effort into how it drives.

If this is the performance variant, I can only imagine what living with a GT Range would be like! 500+ miles, cushier interior, enormous windshield, panoramic sunroof, and squishier tires would make it an easy ace

If you can somehow get buy with 'only' 820hp the Lucid Grand Touring is less than half the price and available with a panoramic glass roof. Lucid's other models in a wide variety of configurations start as low as $69,900 or at special lease prices. I've been driving my Lucid GT for over 2 years and though I like to drive fast I seldom feel the need to switch out of Smooth mode. They are wonderful cars to drive.

[@jestronixhanderson9898]

0-60 in 2.2 is crazy fast, im 3.5 seconds and its a bit like on a motor bike , u have to plan that path before unleashing. Big one is changing lanes in traffic, no one , i repeat no one expects you to go from way back there to right beside them in a blink of the eye. Also if your playing with any other car that has gears, keep some distance ! As changing gear for them is almost like putting the brakes on. So easy to run into them.

[@sahilshergill7278]

So true I have a tuned E63s and it does it in 2.8-2.9 usually. Always gotta make sure you are aware of ur surroundings and the fact that most ppl aren’t understanding what you’ll be doing next.

This is the first time I’ve heard of these cars.😮

[@WriterandPhotographer]

This was an interesting review. I was one of the first investors in Lucid and invested a substantial amount. I would guess that I have lost at least 85% of my investment. It seems to be a great car, although a little expensive for most middle-class people, but I don't know why sales have been so bad. I thought I would capitalize on this administration pushing people into EVs, but apparently most people still find the internal combustion engine more to their liking. Hope others discover this car and sales take off at some point.

[@spdcrzy]

It's because they don't advertise. They haven't advertised at all. The problem isn't the product, it's the marketing. They should have advertised this as a modern Lincoln Town Car, IMO.

[@WriterandPhotographer]

@@spdcrzy Whoever made that decision; they have cost me middle-six-figures.

​@@zachlemay88taycan turbo gt when it comes to overall performance is the fastest and best EV on the market. Perfromance= speed,handling, and braking. Every track the new taycan has been tested on its set a record for fastest sedan on the market. It's faster then a model s plaid in a straight line. All while retaining a light weight 2 motor setup. If u ask me porsche did it right. If porsche wanted the fastest straight line title they could of very easily put another one of their motors in the new taycan and had it running mid 8s to the quarter mile.

Theirs a video already out of the taycan turbo gt beating the plaid in a straight line aswell.
