Vey true and very good, and also they are a couple/married, also.

I often find myself smiling through the entire review.

Maybe they can take that chemistry to another website iykyk😏

They are awesome

Yeah I love them, their chemistry, being funny and not too serious is a way to success.

Reason why industry giants don't do what the small companies do is bcuse of money and market. Cars like this are a niche market compared to what the big companies aim for which is mass market inexpensive cars and these companies are aimed at big money people

@@harleyrobertson6746 Small companies can't do mass production so they don't really have a choice. Up market cars are easier to develop innnovations on because the buyers have the money to cover the RnD cost.

@@lw1878 that's what I'm on about

The entry level is $80k!

You clearly have not seen many works of art. The interior looks like anything other interior at that price range. It looks great but the price of that car is $200k. That's why you don't see these interiors on mass produced cars.

Stolen from Tesla

I think they have the technological know how 2 meet or exceed Tesla, but they don’t have anywhere near the recognition 2 get the sales necessary 2 put up a good fight with Tesla (literally the only reason y they sell is because of the Musk man)

On the topic of investment, I have been finding it hard deciding what to invest on between mutual funds, real estate, and crypto investment, anyone with ideas to help me with?

Best engineers in the world forgot.

@@alzil9181 Porsche didn't forget. Just that this is as competitive and desirable. I own a Tesla 3 and I'm glad to have it but still, it doesn't turn a corner. As a former P-car owner, I'm looking forward to getting back to handling soon.

Seriously… how do you phone in your halo car at the top off your game?

@@alzil9181 The fact they forgot common sense functionality means that they aren't the best..

Take it to the nurbuingbring and you will see it cant keep up with those claims. Plaid brakes work perfectly fine, but you guys know so little about cars you cant understand why steel is no good for repeated breaking on a track but tesla uses them because better brakes are easily over 10k extra on the base cost.

With good looks and build quality too. When this car's production version gets released, the quality will be even better.

No, sitting on a seat slammed to the floor is not luxury. Overall that car has less luxury and refinement than the new Mercedes C-Class. The Luci has MUCH cheaper materials than even the little C-Class! I mean it has cheap plastic all over, and even the alcantara or whatever that is and the leather(/pleather?) is not as nice. Even the dashboard has cheap materials right in the prime visibility areas, like the ventilation grilles, whereas Mercedes has vastly superior materials even in their entry level models.

@@pistonburner6448 I do see where you're coming from, but Mercedes has been making the S-Class for 60+ years and they have billions of dollars in research for every new model. Lucid is a brand new start up that probably only has access to a reasonable amount of money for research and development

@@snakeeyes9246 production versions are already out and they already made their first batch of delivery

I have been driving for 15 years now and never needed a car that had even 200 miles of range.

Or stupid steering wheel or daft upwards opening doors! Loving the Lucid!

Because as we've seen in the modern age, trying to "reinvent the wheel" is usually unnecessary and sometimes downright foolish. TESLA, I AM LOOKING AT YOU.

And don't forget, actual buttons and a roller thingy for A/C and radio

Their description of the Yoke as "idiotic" was right on the money. I can't believe Tesla makes a car as great as the Model S then ruins it with a rectangular steering "device", no stalks (turn signals are tiny little capacitive buttons) and a microscopic capacitive "button" for the horn, on only one spoke so you can forget about it finding it in an emergency or when the steering thing isn't straight. I wanted to buy a Model S, but these idiotic controls are a deal breaker.

@Today on the Internet; @IncognitoTorpedo --- And yet, despite these obviously *dangerous(!) changes to car design,* neither the U.S., nor any other government, says *"no"* to these car manufacturers. I have completely lost respect (what little I had) for government rules regarding car design---from headlights to interior control & visibility aspects (I'm looking at you, ever growing, already dangerously FAT, vision-blocking 'A' pillars). Governments dictate we car owners can't modify headlights, for example, because.....why? "Rules"? Supposedly because we'd make them blind oncoming drivers. Oh! And because all their regulations surrounding headlight design means the car buying public can be assured all new car headlights will illuminate the road *_SO_* well---and uniformly across brands and models. *_BZZZZZZZZZZTT !!!_* Of course *new car headlights are so **_incredibly_** inconsistently designed,* that many don't even pass the (American) IIHS test for illuminating the road ahead, and any driver who's driven on any road anywhere in the world in the past few years has been virtually blinded by oncoming *"safe", "government approved"* headlights after dark.

What is futuristic or innovative in the Lucid Air? The marketing? The way nowadays hordes of gullible lemmings are programmed to believe any narrative the marketing teams come up with, even though they don't make any sense?

Child of Citroën Activa and C6

Loll... Exactly!!! Beat me to it!!

Looks like a concept car…

I agree. To me it looks a little like the new Alpine A110 stretched to 4 doors

its NOT Lucid's first car , the FIRST one was the ATIVA , it was a Metris VAN by Daimler and was named "EDNA".

Brooo Carfection what’s up? I can’t wait to see a Henry Catchpole review on the Lucid Air!

Yeah, can't wait to shell out $200k for a car limited to 500 miles before a charge.

@C M it didn’t work kid, work on your grammar

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG CARFECTION IS HERE DONT PANIC DONT PANIC DONT PANIC

@@mbal4052 lol yeah, he definitely needs some work done on his Grammer.

It's OK, but in comparison to some of the newer visual displays from the new more mainstream luxury brands like Audi, Cadillac, BMW, Hummer even Lincoln I don't think it measures up, especially at that price point.

There are many EV's out there that are better than the Tesla models. Tesla is starting to lose market share because the other manufacturers have caught up with them . Tesla build quality lets them down and there are many makes making much better looking models.

It’s 8 months later and I saw an Air here in Charleston, SC. Not five years. It looks better in person, yet low key.

very good point

Who needs lots of down force at 120 kmph? Drag is the enemy at most highway speeds.

@@letsgobrandon5800 anyone who wants to corner fast in a fast car...

I cant take these guys seriously, they really want to up talk lucid with the wrong points.

@@letsgobrandon5800 He is talking about supercars, that do need a lot of downforce doing 300km/h at the Nurburgring.

Nah not that far but the first bet is true!

Nope, not as good as old Top Gear. And Carfection makes great videos. Criminally underrated channel.

Definatly

Car trek exists👀

Sounds like somebody has car weight analogy envy.

🔥 not just dropping car reviews but the feeling they give us

Very much agreed my good sir

Nail on the head. I do love it, IF money is less important. It is like the Model S that came out 8 years ago. A doctor had one, and it was cool, awesome, and exclusive. And his point to impress the staff. It is a money is no option car. I would strongly consider than as a Tesla replacement if the price point can be kind of, sort of within my price point. I am poor, so taking delivery of my 2022 M3 LR on June 4, 2022, replacing my 2021 SR+.

I still think the Model S has a more timeless elegance to it. Plus, for the money, I would go for a Tesla because you're also getting the charging network. But I don't have enough money for either one, so a flaming Bolt it is lol! 😉😂

I like what I call the 35% screen, where there is a tiny screen on top of the dash with traditional controls below, its a killer combo.

@@chrismiddleton4733 I’ve found the opposite. Basically every car Tesla makes feels like an economy car with a crazy aftermarket screen. It doesn’t feel premium, like at all. This is coming from somebody who grew up being driven in BMWs, Mercedes, and Lexus cars with a Toyota 4Runner as our off-road vehicle. Honestly, a modern Toyota with maxed out trim (platinum IIRC) would be nicer than a Tesla. The Lucid has all the components needed that, with extra screens behind seats along with an “executive console” in the back and way more material customizability, they could go toe-to-toe with a Rolls Royce. The trim and interior experience of the Lucid is WORLDS better than a Tesla, I basically refuse to give Tesla my money until they make a Model S that actually justifies it’s S-class price tag.

I respectfully disagree, I think the styling reminds me of an upscale Toyota Avalon.

@@NickGodfrey it looks like a porsche design and I find it appealing

@@NickGodfrey Thank you! Finally someone with their own clear and good mindset. I find the front/grill very 'old and tired' looking. You're spot on, the 'slopey' front end makes it look like any generic VW or Toyota. They will never beat the Jaguar I-pace or E-class'es upright grilles.

Headlights kind of looks like the ones on Honda Accord interior looks good tho

Too much going on. The trend is simplicity in all design. Lots of useless design cues. This car won’t age well.

what are you brainwashed its just the beginning of what our government is doing,one day they will take your gas car away where's our rights

@@novass7493 I'm assuming you replied to the wrong comment? Lol

That's supplied by PPG, but perhaps Toyota has an exclusive agreement for a few years

Porsche also did it with the Taycan similarly.

That glass has been around for decades.

McLaren and Ferrari have done them before, in fact Ferrari did it back in ‘05 with the Superamerica. It’s called electro chromic glass.

The car looks okay not great the tesla has a better design overall, and having 1000 hp is pointless, electric cars in snow are not good and when you turn corners the wheel feels very heavy

@@freshoftheoven965 design with production quality of 1800 production everything screwed together like a patch imperfections show up everywhere have you ever considered looking at a 100k how the material should look in real life Tesla looks like a 90’s KiA Rio in quality

First time I've come across this channel and to me, it smacks of Top Gear. Slightly different dynamic among the presenters but still sharing a familiar format to the aforementioned series. I'm not saying tit's bad at all. Sometimes you have to go with what works and tweak it slightly to make it your own.

They won't sleep with you Mike.

Not sure why people think that I'm groveling here. I belive they are one of the best automotive channels out there, I live 2.5 hours from where these guys film and I own a 997. I'm just being authentic and who I am. If you don't like that, that's your issue, not mine. BTW, I do offer strategic life coaching if you need it, as it sounds like many of you do.

Tesla brakes do work, what are you talking about? They act like any other steel brake when it heats up. You guys believe the dumbest stuff youtubers say.

@@odisy64 science says small rotors and shitty pads won't work as well as larger motors and decent pads. And I didn't say Tesla, but if the shoe fits, wear it 😉

@@oregonhighway everyone mentioning brakes in the comments is referencing teslas brakes and you mentioned "rocketman" so its pretty obvious your talking about tesla. The brakes according to "engineering explained" is actually decent for the plaid but just like other steel brakes, heat is the weakness. So when the science says the brakes are decent, what does that say about your observation? Its crap.

Willing to bet that most people mentioning the Plaid's brakes, own a car with a much worse braking distance. Sure, it's no track prepped Porsche, but compared to 99% of the cars you'll see on the road, it'll come to a stop more than adequately.

@@Jeroenneman most people aren't driving 1,000 horsepower torque monsters

The Lucid drag coefficient is 0.21 anyway so not sure what they're going on about.

It's 0.200

Nobody cares about Europe.

I heard it's a actually 5 series in size outside with 7 series space inside.

It doesn't look any bigger than a s class

My guess is that they targeted the potential Audi A8/BMW 7 series buyers. Mercedes Benz has its own S class competitor, the EQS. Those buyers don't usually consider the size of those vehicles when buying because they'll always have parking space for those cars.

Europeans should just ride bikes everywhere. How do Lamborghinis even fit Italian streets?
