As a new Lucid owner, I want to weigh in on some points in the video. First, it isn't easy to reach the seat controls with the door closed. In my experience, this is only true if you have huge hands or are wearing gloves. This can be alleviated by using the more than capable and easy-to-access touch menu. Second, the magnetic vanity mirror in the visor opens using the tab on the side, and when opened fully, the light comes on, and it remains open. There are a lot of great features, and the luxury and materials in the cabin are top-notch, but not everything is first class with the car and its operation. Thank you for this well-done review.

Nice video! On the instrument cluster the word COMFORT appears. Actually "beneath" the word COMFORT is the total mileage/kms driven to date. I would prefer to see that number at all times. How do you remove the word COMFORT from the instrument cluster. Thank you.

Great video , thanks.

Get a Ferrari. Porsches are bloated, underpowered pigs. That tiny 3" thing needs to be spun up to high revs to get any meaningful power.

Man I’m loving this real world day to day review. Not just the highlights all the high budget car reviewers do over and over. I want to know what it’s like actually driving and you have done that well. The helmet camera is great too, so much better than those stupid reviews where someone films THEMSELVES talking for 10 minutes. Although I don’t have a Porsche yet you’ve inspired me to drive my toy more and clean it less!!

which of them has softer suspension?

"When you go over a prominent road imperfection..." you mean a 'bump?" Lolol

LOL this is a massively biased review. Taycan gets a range in the mid 200 miles, Lucid gets over 400, and you imply that they could get the same range. Ridiculous. The difference in interior space (both passenger and storage) is massive as well but you barely mention it.

I buy a watch of the screen over a fancy bezel and a flash light. I can buy a head torch for £20 and a screen protector for the forerunner and save a shed load of money. no brainer

I just sold my Tesla Plaid for a 2022 Lucid Air Dream with 1050 hp. The Tesla sat so low to the ground that it hurt my back. I had a Maybach for the Tesla. The Lucid is a 🪮 of both.

So which one do you recommend for athletes?

How did the battery compare?

i guess you havent driven the new model 3 2024 "highland". surely you will be impressed.

Nice overview. It feels like the rental place could just trickle-charge the cars themselves, it's relatively cheap for them, better for the battery and for the consumer as well

Honestly, they just need to improve cars and make solutions for these cars to be used properly! I even wanted to by an electrical car charger cause people who rent rooms have teslas and no where to charge.

New Hyundai and Kia vehicles will be built with the NACS port for Tesla Superchargers beginning in Q4 of this year and existing vehicles will receive a CCS to NACS adapter beginning in Q1 of 2025. Those changes will significantly expand the number of chargers available to Hyundai/Kia owners. I'm currently leasing the exact vehicle you drove in this video (Ioniq 5/SEL/Lucid Blue), and for my life it works perfectly for my commute and the limited travel that I do. I have free level 2 charging in my apartment building and have access to 2 nearby Electrify America DC fast chargers (350 KW stations). When you buy/lease a new Hyundai EV you also get 2 years of free 30 minute DC fast charging sessions, so my "fuel" is essentially free for the duration of my lease.

I drive a 2013 Tesla Model S with 176,000 miles. Trust me the Tesla supercharger network is flawless. I’ve never been stranded in 11 years.

The problem is that recharging costs as much as gas these days. So might as well go for a ice car until they stop sellling them.

I see ton of these Hunyadi EV on junkyard. brand new. faulty battery, dealer refuse to honor the warranty. its a scam.

lotta money for a tiny car

EVs are not always a good choice for people not familiar with and willing to deal with infrastructure issues. Some places are great, while others not.

Superchargers should be opening to other manufacturers soon keep that in mind. I think Rivian and Ford first. Also Ioniq not "Iconic". Great video!

In Europe you will see a good network of non Tesla chargers, and not that many Tesla ones. Everything east of Germany though... it gets difficult.

Sapphire Glass is notorious for having more glare and being less clear.

I like the Epix 2 pro due to the flashlight and ECG capabilities. Also, saphire. I also have the 51mm so it has a 30 day battery life.

Let me know if the bottom sensor feels the same? I returned my epix gen 2 because it seemed too big and too heavy and the sensor seemed to be diggin in to my skin due to weight, however the plastic feel on other cheaper watches was bad. I have not tried forerunner before.

I used the forerunner 965 for about two months and I’m on day 2 with the 47mm epix pro. The smaller display on the epix is definitely noticeable but I’ll take the few shortcomings for the bigger titanium bezel and the sapphire screen. Oh and the flashlight is awesome!

Selll it.. Buy another.

Terrible sound

You may be happier if you teach it to reverse into the driveway and have it take a right turn into the garage! :-)

Can you compare eqs taycan and i7?

Your a fucking legend. I felt you so much. Nobody cares about these boring reviews i want to know how it feels as a daily driver or owner.

Excellent review. Exceptional cars. Tesla Model S Plaid is another contender too.

The low rolling resistance tires on your Lucid are a major handicap when it comes to handling. Next time you do a tire change get some good Michelin Pilot sport 4, these transform the handling. Incidentally the steering rack in the Lucid comes straight out of the 991 GT3, with a slight different calibration. When you will get the new tires, you will see that the Lucid is a canyon carving monster, and I'm not exaggerating here. PS The Lucid is a fine looking sedan, but I loooove the looks of the Taycan though.

Thanks for taking the time to create such a detailed video. It took me a while to decide, but I finally decided for a BMW X7 Alpine white with Cognac interior.

Lucid any day! Great car, amazing range, great value! If I had to spend more money, I would get Air GT or Sapphire!

Great comparison! We are looking at both of these, having owned a Model 3 for five years now and want something nicer. Thanks for making the video!

Hi, I see your x7 has a sidestep, is there a difference in height between the version with and without sidestep

Jealousy. Messed up people out there would key a car.

Nices cars. However, I prefer the Lucid.

This was a good review in most regards, but I do have a couple comments. The Lucid's seat mounted controls are for guests or those just getting in the car for the first time. More comprehensive seat adjustments are accessed through the screen and then saved to the driver's profile. Profiles for several drivers can be saved and the car recognizes each when seated. Your Lucid was equipped with the smaller and more efficient Eco tires. These do improve range measurably but have a negative impact on sporty driving, especially cornering. Two larger wheel sizes are available. My Air GT has the 21" option and cornering on fast mountain roads is both sharp and reliable. The Taycan is a lovely car but room for both luggage and rear seat passengers is limited. You didn't mention price but Taycan 4S with just the options I could identify from your video is $42,855 more than a Lucid Air Touring with the optional glass roof. The sportier Air GT loaded would be a more reasonable comparison.

At 4:55, that white sculpture of the Porsches to the left of your shoulder is actually in the Porscheplatz round-about at the Porsche Museum if you have been to it. I think it is called "Inspiration 911". I was there in 2015 and again in 2019 for the 50th anniversary of the 917. As for using any car or a Porsche as a daily driver, when people buy me the car, then maybe they can tell me how to use it. You see owners in bumper to bumper city traffic. I'm there scratching my head thinking "what a waste" while I on the other hand am on a twisty backroad with my 993 or 991.1 GTS, both manuals of course. Also, when you are a tech as I am and not floating in a large salary, you tend to cherish what you have and look after it more than those that say "it is just a car".

If faced with the decision again, would you opt for the Cognac Sensafin or pay $2k for the real leather?

I drive my 991.2 Carrera every day, like you do, and I agree 100% with you. It's such a privilege and pleasure to own and drive a Porsche 911.

The Seat and Steering wheel problem happens when you turn on the car with seat belt not fastend and door open.

I love your car collection man 😁👍🏾

Awesome Review! well said that both of these cars are for two different types of people. Personally here are my thoughts (im sure alot will disagree) Lucid has the better value, more luxury features, and better battery/drivetrain Porsche has the better support (more established company/easy servicing), better driving experience (though this is opinion and not fact) and better ui. I like the porsche as it has a more similar experience to an ICE even though being a EV. The coasting like an ICE is what i want in an EV. But at the end of the day, i still like the Lucid more due to the luxury components.

Me personally the Lucid, more space, quicker, ambient lighting, efficiency, tech, and look.

As a Lucid Air GT & Tesla owner I can say with absolute certainty that Lucid Air is the best EV currently in production. Range is still king and with 500+ miles nothing comes close. It’s the total package. Beauty, range, speed, storage, comfort, luxury, quality, efficiency, and in my personal experience with over 50k+ miles driven, very durable. The Porsche is nice but the Lucid is on another level. Cheers!
