Is the Lucid Air the most advanced EV money can buy? It’s certainly the most efficient. It also has the fastest charge speed if you travel often. And the EPA-rated range of 516 miles is the best in the business. Add mid-century modern design inside and out plus 3 second 0-60 sprints and it all adds up to an amazing automotive experience with ground breaking technology. But no automobile is perfect. Tom Voelk checks out a Lucid Air Grand Touring with dual motor power in Stellar White with Santa Cruz interior.
It's well worth watching Lucid Motor's tech talk videos. Seriously. You'll learn more in 20 minutes than you did in high school.

I think if they tried selling the UTE model alongside the G8 it would have sold in bigger numbers.

The 0 - 60 wars need to be over. Range, price and quality are what the average person needs. Tesla's super charges network is good. But if you are doing long distance traveling often you may be a little put off if you have to get off the interstate and navigate the surface streets of the city/town where the super charger is located. IMO there should be superchargers at all of the interstate rest stops. That way you will have vending and restrooms at every stop. I don't want to get out and eat or shop every time stop to charge. I want to get topped off and get back to the trip ASAP. For daily charging my home charger is fine. I have never had an issue with rage in-town.

Lucid is targeting customers who buy European luxury cars today. though they plan to offer some smaller and less costly vehicles in the future they are not attempting to be a discount 'Everyman's' brand. They make it clear in investor documents, interviews, and earnings report comments that they remain focused on build quality and the driving experience over volume of production and price point. Lucid is not trying to compete with Tesla or Toyota in that market. Making a cheap car requires economies of scale that even Tesla has not been able to reach yet.

Another masterclass on how to review a car for an older audience who want's facts and useful information, instead of quirks, features, and frunk space nonsense. It's refreshing to see honest EV reviews in real world settings that don't pander to the Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD) crowd, with hyperbole headlines like "I spent $140K on an EV - its garbage". If I was in the market for a $140K EV, what would be the better choice the Porsche Taycan with endless configurations and ample dealer support, or the Lucid Air?. I've been to several Lucid showrooms and there the complete package inside and out. I'm excited to see what's next for Lucid. The FUD (anti) EV crowd loves to cry "price!, price! EVs are only for the elite's!", to which I answer, have you priced a new full-size truck lately? and there the best selling vehicle in the country.

Nice review. I received my Air GT almost a year ago and have been impressed with how the initially buggy software has steadily improved with a constant stream of OTA updates. Now with the system working well getting each new update feels like opening a present with some new audio or charging feature appearing. I enjoy driving and this is a driver's car. On a number of trips from the boring roads of the D/FW area to more mountainous regions, I have enjoyed how effortlessly the Lucid eats miles while having the range to get away from the freeway to enjoy some more challenging routes. Drive modes in the Air change more than accelerator sensitivity. At speed in Sprint mode the suspension and steering tighten up while the TC relaxes a bit. I appreciate that the brakes are not over-boosted, providing excellent feel, if a very firm pedal. Steering is neutral and will gently understeer at the limit (which most 'reasonable' drivers will never approach). Ordering a Lucid with the white carpet? Order Lucid's fitted weather mats at the same time. Even here in Texas rain and mud can be a thing sometimes.

Looking on the Lucid Motors site, the 21" Aero Blade wheels you had on your demo car reduce the estimated range to 469 miles. The 19" Aero Range wheels, although not as flashy, provide the maximum 516 miles of range in this model. Having said that, I'm sure the EPA ranges were obtained using some serious hyper-mile testing that doesn't really reflect real world driving.

Peter was chief engineer at Lotus and built his own sports cars before joining Tesla. Designer Jenkins led the most recent reimagining of the MX-5/Miata before joining Lucid. Aerodynamicist J-C Monnet came to Lucid from the Red Bull Formula 1 racing team. I can't wait to see the Lucid version of "Roadster."

Nice review but lacking details. How good are the headlights? Does it have heat pump? What was his kw/mile consumption and how does it compare to a model S?

Great job Tom. The car is very impressive, but I see these more as Concept Cars. I have an AMG Mercedes that I purchased new for 1/2 what they are asking for the Air. Plus this Company has virtually zero Dealer network so… where do you go when problems arise? (As they always do). Perhaps Lucid could align with one of the Majors the way AMG did with Mercedes? Lucid does the beautiful design and advanced R&D work, but buyers have the comfort of a national service network? Again, love the innovation and since Tesla is planning to put a big, huge MAGA imprint on the hood of every vehicle they produce, it’s nice to see some Non-Racist alternatives out there.

Lucid feels like a company designed to get through a SPAC, but after that, it is not low cost to produce, they had software issues, the ramp up has gone poorly, their wait list has been dropping hard, and other issues, just feel like it is not a solid company. The Saudi's have 61% of the company and I suspect they will eat up the rest of it in the next couple of years, For consumers, I would be concerned about service. It is a small company by industry standards. Large or small, all EV builders seem to have trouble providing great service when needed. GM dealers have been known to have just one EV tech for a few dealerships. I also read a story about having to go through three Ford dealers before finding one who could work on a Mach-E. We are starting to move from just early adopters to mainstream buyers. The industry needs to get service ramped up quick to meet demand.

In which measurement(s) is this vehicle smaller than a Model S? It looks much wider, and it's hard for me to judge the length.

Just a beautiful, elegant car with technology to boot. Honestly this easily beats the Tesla and the Merc at the price. Much more impressed than I expected. In 10 or 15 years I can probably afford one used! Something to look forward to.

There is nothing enveronmentally conscious in manufacturing a huge electric battery. People will buy it for supercar performance. If you compare it to a Lambo, the Air seats five.
