2022 Lucid Air Review // Tesla’s Living Nightmare
The 2022 Lucid Air Dream Edition Performance ($229,000 CAD, $170,500 USD) has stirred up quite a commotion as the newest EV to hit the market. With hopes of going toe to toe against the mighty Tesla Model S Plaid, the Dream Edition Performance packs 1,111 horsepower. Thomas and James are eager to see what the Lucid Air can do on a California canyon road. Will it be able to keep up with the sharp turns and bends despite being quite large and rather heavy? And just how livable is the interior on a day to day basis? Watch to find out what the guys think! We hope you enjoy the episode. SUBSCRIBE!

The production, the camera work, the chemistry between these two just perfection 💙
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.
that interior is a work of art. It's so good to see new companies throwing everything they have at their first entries and scaring industry giants
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.
I love how James is always excited to introduce himself. Everyone should be as excited about themselves as James is.
Humble opinion: You guys are amazing. The humor, the camera work, the car comparisons. Just sublime. Y'all are the closest thing we have to original 2000s Top Gear.
The grand tour would like a word.
@@brandonmusic9712RIP Grand Tour
@@brandonmusic9712 but it's in a nursing home, so who cares
Now I see why you guys are taking longer to bring new content. 😁 The creativity and production are dope. The pirate ship steering wheel was hilarious! And it took me a minute to get the 1111. 😆. Great job.
Thanks for explaining!
And the third dude was not impressed 🤣😂
1:11
what is the 1111
@@surfalcatraz9770 the horse power of the car. That's why he circles all the vertical lines under each power option on the board... to come up with (1111). Cool rapping, yo!
Normal steering wheel, brakes that work and even decent handling. Basically it has everything Tesla forgot when designing the Plaid 🤣
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.
I saw this car walking down the street in my neighborhood, had to stop and admire. Then proceeded to the front bumper and saw LUCID. I wondered who manufactured this masterpiece, and now I’m here!🔥
So the car was walking down the street? Impressive.
Absolutely the best looking EV ever! And no weird dashboard! I love it!
Or stupid steering wheel or daft upwards opening doors! Loving the Lucid!
With the combined years of experience that went into crafting that car, I hope the company succeeds.
Ditto.
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)
@@mrsoisauce9017 Are high no one does Tesla is lightning years ahead especially in factory and quality.
@@mrsoisauce9017 they should sell the company to china and American will understand what they missed because of riding the musk truck
I like how now we have to applaud these futuristic, innovative machines for having something as revolutionary as a normal steering wheel.
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?
Love this, Tesla needs a EV competitor that is dedicated to EVs can only result in better products for us. No way I can afford this rn, hopefully in 5 years when it’s finally out
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.
I love the production quality of your videos, these are really becoming very enjoyable to watch even if I'm not a huge fan of the car. So about the car... I have no issues with electric, in fact I have wanted to go electric for a long time. My issue is that everybody making electric cars is making them gimmicky. Curved screens, touch screen everything, so called minimalistic (actually cheap) interiors. I want an electric car, that looks amazing, drives amazing and has a long range. I want an electric car with an interior identical to a petrol cars interior. I've had touch screens, they're not safe or better, you have to take your eyes off the road to use them, give me physical buttons, an instrument cluster with a hood and a full center console. I own an X5 5.0i and an M850i today, I've just paid off the X5 and once the M850 is paid off the X5 will be replaced. I'd love that to be an all electric X5 that looks identical to the gas X5.
🔥 not just dropping car reviews but the feeling they give us
It's cars like these that make EVs more and more desirable. Luxury and refinement and massive amounts of range
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.
At 14:50 that is one of the coolest views. As Thomas walks past the doors the car wakes up, headlights turn on in sequence, the turn/foglight activate, the door handles pop out and the mirrors fold out.
Just wanted to join the conversation and say how much I enjoyed the review. The opening was absolutely hilarious, as expected from you guys 😂 I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on one of these awesome cars. Keep up the fantastic work with your entertaining and informative car comparisons. It's like the OG Top Gear of the 2000s! Cheers!
Great video! Glad I came across the channel. I am suprised they don't have some electrically driven slide down/across sun shade for the windscreen. Standard visors seem tacky.
This being Lucid's first car is mighty impressive! I mean just look at it, looks french in the best way possible
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".
The words you use, the information you've gathered, and the content you create really shows that we are still going to see more of you in this industry
Success usually comes to those who are too busy looking for it.
I agree with you on that
A great work demands a great sacrifice and who is not capable of a great sacrifice is not capable of a great work
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?
@@benildabituin1531 Real estate lets people grow their net worth by amassing more and more properties. Its a good long term investment idea due to appreciation
I'm into real estate investing.
Every youtuber has made me want the Lucid Air but Throttle house is forcing me to buy it when I get older. Amazing video, huge thumbs up to the team here. Deserved a sub and like. the beginning action movie thing was so good!
Just days ago I thought that the joke about how much a car weighs has become a staple of car journalism, starting (if I remember correctly) with Clarkson who said about some car it weighs as much "as a moon". And just when I thought that joke has been made (too) often Thomas comes around the corner with the "weight of an anvil-factory" !!! I bow down, that is just brilliant.
Sounds like somebody has car weight analogy envy.
I like that car. Way too expensive to even dream about owning one, but this looks really nice. Beautiful design that still kind of stands out without going full “in-your-face”. Not a fan of huge screens inside of the cockpit, but this one actually looks quite nice. If I had the money, I would be intriguing option. More so than a Tesla.
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.
Great creativity as usual. You guys make your reviews entertaining plus informative. Good combo!.
My brother-in-law just dropped $180K on one of these and they DO take off! The drive was ... interesting... as he had it on performance mode which meant that it went when stepping on the pedal but it also slowed WAY DOWN whenever you lifted even slightly off the accelerator. I did have him change it to the more gentler mode for a bit and that would be how I would drive it but he enjoys that performance mode
Somehow Toyota has figured out the dimmable large pane sunroof on the Venza but no one else can do it! Also, this is an amazing effort from Lucid on a first car.
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.
cause toyota has money
McLaren and Ferrari have done them before, in fact Ferrari did it back in ‘05 with the Superamerica. It’s called electro chromic glass.
Great review lads! Hilarious opening as usual 😂 Can't wait to get our hand on one of these.
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.
I saw one of these almost a year ago in the downtown Vancouver showroom and have been in awe since. With just the base Lucid at C$100,000, I'm thinking a good used model a few years from now.
truly excellent content - as always. this is almost top gear level production. very impressive.
This is easily the best car show on the internet. Dare I say it is even as good as the old Top Gear?
Nah not that far but the first bet is true!
Don’t you fucking dare
Nope, not as good as old Top Gear. And Carfection makes great videos. Criminally underrated channel.
Definatly
Car trek exists👀
The way James stood still to say his 4th wall breaking statement was perfect hahaha Seriously great videos day in day out!!

I live in city where lucid headquarters is and I see a test mule almost every week driving around. I love the silhouette of them when they pass by and is surprisingly wide for a sedan. Beautiful car imo
This video encapsulates why you guys have so many subscribers and get the best cars to review. Great chemistry between the two of you and great production quality. Wishing you continued success in 2022 and if you're ever in NewToronto I've got a coffee and cookie from LeGourmand for you.
Little point comparing drag coefficient to supercars when their designers are trying to actively produce downforce, and not solely reduce drag
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.
First up, love ur channel.. you guys are as good as TG at their best in the late 2000s at less than a fraction of the budget. Kudos 👏🇨🇦 Question: why don't American ev companies focus on small ev platforms like a hatchback? Surely, they'd want to tap markets with long term growth potential..
You guys are what top gear America wishes they could have been! Thanks for being fun and…uh…informative 🤪😜
Something about the headlights and taillights just looks soo pretty. The elegant simplicity, the clean lines, all of it makes for such a pretty car.
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 a gorgeous looking car, such swift lines. You guys hit the nail on the head by comparing it to the Citroën DS, I actually thought the exact same thing! Another tour de force for the electric car x
🌹🌹🌹🌹
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
@@freshoftheoven965 I think its looks really cool compared to tesla especially considering teslas crappy build quality. And having a limousine that does 0-60 mph in under 2 seconds is not pointless? Seriously, who really needs that?
@@freshoftheoven965 Tesla are extremely boring looking cars... more like a taxi from Total Recall.
Loving this channel💯💯🔥🔥 Captivating, humorous, high quality, infact everything good lol
You guys are much more forgiving especially about the build quality compared to some other channel I have seen.
I love waking up to see a new video from you guys, I know there's a ton of people doing car reviews lately but I absolutely love the quality and entertainment we get from your videos. Keep up the amazing work guys!
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
The intro was a work of art
You guys and Jason Cammissa are the best in the business, keep up the killer content!
gotta give it to yall, you guys are the most creative car related content creators out there
Awesome review! The quality keeps on getting better! Keep it up!
Never a disappointment guys, you're so entertaining with great car reviews as well! Been watching for years and had to comment about the seat massager part. I was dying laughing! Thomas - "Stop looking at me like that! Abort Abort!" James - just staring at him. My stomach hurts now...thanks needed that!
I often click on car review vids thinking I'll just watch a few mins to get the idea, but with this channel, I always end up going to the end. Truly informative as well as entertaining! Great work!
quality of your videos is sooo amazing. keep rockinn guys
You guys make me not miss Top Gear. Excellent content!
I think Jason Cammisa's content on Hagerty is the closest to that currently
Agree the chemistry here rivals that.
The 1111 reactions were great. Karson is just as stonefaced as ever. lol.
Intro: EPIC! Almost! I would of love to see the last guy brake something in his upmost state of euphoria, or confusion! :)
This opening is sooooo epic🔥 not just dropping car reviews but the feeling they give us
You guys are a lot more than a regular car chanel, the production is magnificent. Keep doing it that way :)
You guys are a lot more than a regular car chanel, [. . .] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I vote them No. 5.
First vid I e watched of you guys and I gotta say I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. I was especially surprised at the point where you guys were talking about the backseat and I literally thought to myself ok well 5' 10" isn't 6' 6" (I am) and sure enough, a 6' 6" dude sits down in the back. I was utterly shocked so kudos to you guys and that other tall fellow. Hats off to him. I appreciate the 6' 6" reference!!
Teslas have become so commonplace that I don’t really like them anymore, and frankly I’m ready for another company to step up and take the place.
You guys just keep getting better and better... at everything! Now, I may be biased because I'm from Kingston Ontario, but I still think you do the most informative, educational, cinematic and humourous car reviews ever. It's just a perfect mix that keeps on working You deserve to have your own syndicated show. By the way, I own a Porsche 997 if you're ever in Kingston and want to do some filming!
I'll be there tomorrow to visit my in-laws. Pick me up in the Porsche! I'll be half-drunk and hot from fighting with my father in law :)
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.
Brave person to drop that amount on a new startup without any dealer network or reliability record regardless of how good it might be. Be great if you can review a final production version from an owner who's run it for 9 months.
Every brand starts from zero, and completely agree on seeing more reviews. I'm upset theres no hooning footage! All outside video looks 55mph... not very indicative of 1111hp
I may pick one up one of the base Air Pure version in a few years, if Lucid is still around.
They are backed up by Saudi oil money so they don't really have alot to worry about
@@kaayabrian1806 hopefully so, but one thing I learned in life is there is no sure thing, especially when it comes to money.
@@jml9550 that's right
Saw this drag a plaid and though the plaid was faster, the level of comfort and space makes up for the “lack of speed”. It’s plenty fast saw it destroy a M5 cs in a drag race. Also the range is great for long trips 470 is pretty impressive.
Maybe it's the color or the shape, but it reminds me of a Buick, of all things. I know that it's not, butj that's the name that keeps popping up in my head. Solid review, as usual, guys. nice job.
You guys do a great job with both the car reviews and the entertainment factor. Well done!
Hey. Cute kid bro
Wait. It has brakes? That work? Over and over and over again? On the first model? How has Mr Rocketman not gotten this yet? Nice job, Lucid! PS: thank you for a normal steering wheel
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.

"However unlike the EQS, the Lucid has a-peel...." 😂😂😂
most underrated joke in the video 😂😂
I don’t know how I can stress this enough, you’re intro’s are fantastic 😂🔥👏🏽… Just become the new top gear already!!!
ITs a great video but i noticed the audio changes in this one? Was there a lack of lapel mic in this one or something so had to rely on the secondary camera audio? I noticed it around 4 minutes ish. Not a problem ofc but I'm just super curious as to whether my ears are that awesome lol
These are very cool. Theyve also adopted the "store in mall" model that Tesla pioneered. Saw them at a local mall recently and they are gorgeous.
This channel is pure comedy. The car journalism is pretty good too! lol
Thanks for including the 6'6" person climbing in the back seat, it really helps put things in a direct perspective for those of us similarly endowed. Great video as always!
I’m only 6’2” so it appears I’ll be fine. My additional 4” got added down in the basement 🤣
The intro alone got me to subscribe 😆u guys are hilarious.good job
Great review. Nice work you two.
You guys rock and definitely my favorite on KZhead always detailed and have a super funny ways to keep us glued and not bored thank you.
I effing love you guys. I've learned so much from the two of you. Super entertaining videos each time packed with great recommendations and opinions
I love how in every ThrottleHouse video there's a reference to how great the Mazda Miata handles.
I actually really enjoyed watching this video. Much love from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 😊
Incredible video as always from you guys! Well done and thank you for doing it so we can enjoy watching them 😍😃
It would be perfect to see Spinal Tap doing their first commercial with Nigel Tufnel saying " This one goes to eleven" 🤣

I have seen the Lucid plant in Casa Grande, AZ and that place is HUGE. They are talking about adding more to it in order to build an SUV.
Y’all make amazing content 🤣 I wish I had been watching yall
As a 80's boy craving for every C&D, M&T, R&T ... congrats; 40 years later you almost topped them all, at least proved to be worthy successors. Not bad for such a small production.
I live for the intro skits. They are so hilarious. "Lucid Wet Dream". If cars ever cease to be a thing, this duo have a great future in comedy 😂😂😂
Incredible content, gentlemen!! Having said that, I just don’t see why everyone’s complimenting the aesthetics of this vehicle…to me it honestly looks like an upgraded version of a 90’s Oldsmobile, but one that was designed as a concept car in 1998 🤷🏻♂️
“You can’t vote for all of them.” Lol the intro scene is so ducking hillarious
That water bottle, James making constant eye contact during the massage. I must say I really love the interior. The exterior looks great. The price tag though for the performance model is still go with the Porsche. But 70k for an entry model price is still to high for me to get myself into an EV especially with the infrastructure or lack there of for charging stations. Still love the car.
100%
Your only choice/option is Tesla then. Tesla SC network is beyond compare.
Tesla also started with expensive models only at first. Hopefully lucid makes it long enough to bring cheaper ones as well
Tesla is very badly put together with CRV level interior for $100k. They've lost their minds.
@@letsgobrandon5800 username = amazing tesla fanboi perspective = shit you’re approaching perfection brother just need a little more
Their reactions to the massaging seats was amazing 😆
Women would like this car😂😂👍👍
@@uditanandsharma2744 absolutely 🤣
This car tells of devotion. Its maker wanted to make his best contribution to a great story and add a new, special chapter to it. It feels like a hug and a bowing homage to automotive history and future at the same time. The best-known competitor's product looks like a pair of maliciously folded arms in comparison. It's an "I told you so!" instead of the curiously proud "What do you think?" of the Lucid. And that makes all the difference in the world.
I’ve seen one of these branded vehicles driving in Jacksonville,Fl. It was like a home’s curb appeal when I seen this thing. Caught my attention and was really geeked to see it
This is the epitome of car reviews right here. We love you guys.
Fantastic review! It's important to note that this $170,000 USD version is the Air Dream Edition, a limited-run version -- Lucid is only making a total of 520 of them, and they are all sold out and are being delivered to customers right now. Lucid is building less expensive versions of the Air -- the lowest level has nearly 500hp and costs about $70k after the federal EV credit. These will go into production in 2022.
More feasible
That makes more sense. I don't see 170k worth of luxury car here.
😂I love how significant tge intro is. Genius!
"That's a very big Frunk" LOL! 😂😆 Really good review lads!
The cinematic shots are amazing 🤩
Good to see that Karston stayed on character for that opening.
Luv ur reviews :) plz review the LC 500 Convertible! Thx
Great video again. Can't get over the cheap looking great in the interior and the staring wheel. And some detail shots of the exterior shot some mad misalignment... It doesn't look like the price
Stop steering, the car looks grate
It looks amazing, but next to the already large EQS it looked massive as well. Curious if it will be useful for day to day driving in Europe.
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?
They may have the same drag coefficient, but I doubt they have the same frontal area. Great content as always, guys. Thank you.
The Lucid drag coefficient is 0.21 anyway so not sure what they're going on about.
