They’ll sell tens of them!!

I wasnt a believer. Until I went to go test drive one last weekend. If they come out with cheaper versions and can scale, it's over for Tesla .

With that said. I bought a bunch of stocks. LCID

Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching!

It's a wonderful machine. Tough to beat from an EV perspective.

Wow that range is crazy. Is that really the range you’re getting??

I have the Pure AWD. First, it’s so powerful that it’s hard to drive with efficiency in mind. This thing absolutely flies and handles like a BMW 7 series. But if I try and drive 65 on a nice day, I’ll get maybe 375mi on a car rated for 409. So pretty close.

We can only quote the EPA-rated numbers. We just said the Pure and Touring only get 200 kW. Per Lucid, the GT and Sapphire do 300 kW.

It's $650 per month to lease. That's not high in today's market, sadly.

We have a Model S Plaid (replaced our 2015 P90D) and a Lucid Air Dream Performance. To me, software is only part of the overall control suite of a car. Although it took Lucid a while to get there with its UX 2.0 generation and subsequent updates, at this point I find the Lucid a much easier car for drivers and front passengers to operate with its well-thought-out mix of conventional stalks, switches, vent controls, and software. Even on the software front, our Lucid has features the Tesla does not: plays a USB music stick, provides a birds-eye-view for precise parking, provides dual satellite map screens so that you can use different compass orientations and zoom levels simultaneously, etc. Also, our Tesla software is not problem-free. Every couple of weeks we go through bouts of no response to the key fob to either open or start the car. We have to keep our key cards on us for such situations to get in the car and sometimes even to start it by having to rub the key card over the phone charger pad. And the automatic gear selector seldom gets us out of the garage and driveway, meaning we have to swipe the screen to select the proper gear. And, if you're a front-seat passenger, try changing the cabin temperature, vent directions, or audio volume while the car is moving. It can get pretty hairy. Bottom line . . . I'm very glad Lucid doesn't copy the Tesla approach to vehicle operation.

@@blakespringpasturemortimer9168 remember you can push the right on button the Tesla steering wheel and talk to it to make changes.

@@guyg2005 I know that, which is why I said the difficulty is for the front seat passenger. It's a little hard for the driver to adjust the passenger's air vents to satisfaction, and it's annoying to interrupt the driver to ask him to change the passenger's temperature or the audio volume. Putting every single task in the hands of the driver only is not a good way to design a vehicle's operation.

@@blakespringpasturemortimer9168 I guess I'm lucky. My wife doesn't want any AC so its always pointed at me. In my Y I believe there is a volume control on the bottom right side of the screen near the passenger seat to adjust the sound. Unfortunately I no longer want to fall into a sedan, so any sedan from any manufacture is off the table. I am 6'4" and Texas size and no longer want to crawl into a sedan.

@@guyg2005 There is a volume button on the lower right corner of the screen of the Model S. However, as I said in my original comment, the difficulty is in operating it when the car is moving. The icon is small (and our Tesla rides considerably more roughly than our Lucid), and you have to hit it just so to get precise adjustment of volume. Same with the air vents.

What Polestar has longer range?

Just adds production complexity. But yes, we agree with your idea.

really?

This design only looks good in certain colors.

@@carbuzzcom it’s not my cup of tea.

@@user-zf1ol7op7y All Tesla cars, all their EV are like shit cars to Lucid.

They are majority owned (60+%) by the trillion dollar PIF fund that Musk was trying to get to buy out Tesla in that "Funding Secured" debacle. Their stock may be wonky but the company itself has access to all the funding it needs.

Yeah may want to look at who owns 70% of the company and has more money than God…

The PIF wont let this company fail.

Q: why would I buy a 70k car when there is model 3 for 40k(?) A: because then you're both stuck with a Tesla AND stuck with being associated with the guy who keeps committing overt Securities Fraud (to boost the Stock) by lying about bringing out a Robo-Taxi (a vehicle that's now NOT going to arrive this August either).

This is bigger, drives better, and feels nice. Why would anyone ever buy a bigger car ever?

I suggest you drive it first before forming an opinion. I owned a Model S, and I still own a Model X. My Model S100D couldn’t hold a candle to my current Air GT.

I guarantee you have not driven a Lucid. Go drive the Grand Touring dual-motor and compare it to your Tesla Model S. It puts the Tesla to shame. Then go drive the Sapphire if your trying to get the Plaid. For a base model i'd take the Lucid over the Tesla 10/10 times.

@@SonoCars Then you should buy it, but at what price? 😁😁😁
