$250,000 is a super ridiculous price for ANY car. I like the car, but I can only imagine the first song playing on the radio as I leave the dealership, "Everybody Plays the Fool...Sometimes"
What is interesting for me is that because you had the camera on the hat it provided a great sense of feeling when you drove the Lucid down the road with a bit more speed.
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.
Love this car. Smaller glass area helps in keeping the car cooler in hotter climates. Especially where they don't allow tinting of the windscreen like here in Australia.
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.
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 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.
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 I can't wait until I can afford a Lucid. Even with all its quirks, annoyances, pitfalls, and shortcomings, it does a lot of car things better than nearly every other car.
This gentleman is a very good car reviewer. I'd love to get a Lucid but, I don't need 3 motors. 1 or 2 would be fine. So not the Sapphire. I currently have a VW ID.4.
Crazy how local you are - Lion & the Lamb is awesome 😃 And yes, God only knows when the southbound CA-55 in Tustin is ever going to be repaved so they don't destroy tires and wheels 🙃
Im all for internal combustion engines, hate EVs but I’d rather have this than the 2 caddy’s. Practical and the fastest production vehicle in the world. Hard to beat
@@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. But they also care about driving dynamics.
I really want to see one of these auto makers make and actual sports car that’s fast like this that actually looks like a sports car and not hybrid. Im talking in the $100 to 300k range. The Rimac is priced as a hyper car.
I’m confused by the modes. How do you get the full 1234 hp? Is it possible to drive in that model full time? I had a model 3 performance and that was bonkers. I want this to be my next car.
@@MilesPerHr Have 2023 S Plaid and software is better it seems, screen doesn’t overheat and has an expansive glass roof that was updated to let in more light while still blocking the same amount of rays. Sure the Sapphire handles better but doubt it rides any better if the Plaid has the 19’s which mine does. If handling/ track performance is that important, add the Track Package. Still a relative bargain that way.
@@swingman141414Nowhere on the Internet does it show a Plaid losing to a Sapphire by 8 car lengths. The Plaid has beaten the Sapphire on more than three occasions and when it lost it wasn’t by no more than three cars. Take your medication.
So you say that charging it past 80 ish percent hurts battery longevity. How many times would you be able to charge it at 100%, in case you needed the entire range capabilities of the car?
You can do it infinitely, charging less will hurt the battery less. Ideal ranges are 20-80, even better 40-60. 0-100% is definitely possible, would just degrade it more.
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
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.
Wish it was a hatch like my s cause I can fit my mountain bikes and snowboard in the back
@@Notaprofessionalvideohave personally spent some time with a pure and I’d feel kinda bad putting my bike in the back even if it did fit, the trunk is lined with a really soft carpeting that I’d imagine is pretty hard to clean.
Forget 0-60. I went straight to the car seat install
Yesss. Family mod
Can't even come close to using the power with family on board. They'll start hollering well before peak acceleration.

Hey Miles, you may have just blown the doors off the new 2025 Corvette ZR1. 👍
wow
He really donated 100 dollars just to get 24 likes and no recognition from the youtuber
a peasant donating to a millionaire
I look forward to comparing with the ZR1 as soon as it gets to the LA press fleet! Thank you for your generosity, as always!!
This looks so much nicer than any Tesla. It’s another level.
I’m not big into EVs. But I absolutely love the Lucid Air! It’s such a nice car
19:03 miles got that updated drivers mod
😆
Reminds me of a rollercoaster when hitting the turns at high speed lol.

Such a good car. Fastest run I've had in my 2023 Tesla Model X 0-60 was 2.6 seconds. Wild, good fun.
Man is already beat plaid on drag 9 sec and 0-60 2.2 sec no need proof anyone much more non X non plaid ok is too much fast

This is the best car I have ever seen.
I got to get a test drive in one of these on a slick floor, and the acceleration is mental. I quite literally got a headache after a launch
The G Force isn't to be underestimated
and how would you figuratively get a headache?

Awesome vid as always bro !
Thank you!
1234 hp that's insane

Because it is! Luxury supercar UFO spaceship!
having car seat install section is completely underrated
In UK we call a trunk a boot
That makes a frunk a froot 😊❤

Slam the door, “and the door is soft close which is convenient”…. 🧐 😂
I cannot wait for used depreciated models of this car to hit the market in three years or so because this would be a bargain at $100k.
A C8 Corvette would be a deal at $15k too- but neither is CT going to happen for 20 years
Great Review!!!...Lovely Family Keep Up The Great Work!!! 👍👍👍👍
Love this car but 250k is truly insane
250k is very cheap for what you are getting.

You have to sit up higher in the Lucid due to the exceptionally large battery under you.
I’ve had a lot of large battery EVs and never noticed this. The cabin is built up from the battery so it doesn’t feel different from traditional ICEs
