- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 มิ.ย. 2024
- Kyle and Coleton from @OutofSpecDetailing take a full in-depth look into the quality of the Lucid Air. The guys start by looking at a brand new Mercedes EQE, then heading into the Lucid Air's initial inspection inside and out. Then they start digging into paint and body defects, paint depth measurements with a paint meter, and compare the results to Tesla.

I’m so glad Colton is part of Out of Spec Reviews Channel. The guy’s a perfectionist!!
Thanks Seth!

Q
I'd like to say that Alyssa is again the quiet MVP of this video. She is very intuitive and knows where the attention needs to be. Another fine job Alyssa!
Max was working the camera!
I can't believe I was glued to the screen for 90 minutes. LOVE the nerding over detailing and paint like this, especially with people who clearly knows their stuff. Keep up the good work!
Colton is like a PhD in automotive finishes. Love the geek fest deep drive
The fact that you found the same paint measurement on the Benz may have preserved Lucid’s willingness to bring you more wheels for testing. Still, it will be interesting to hear their comments. Also very impressed with the consistent video quality of your iPhone. What a great tool.
Coleton is a bonafide pro and I wish we had someone like him with his professionalism, knowledge, tools and technique near where I live here in Cali. I'd of had him apply PPF and some ceramic coating to our ID.4 when we first bought it. Thanks for this video Kyle!
Bring it to Colorado 😎
Would be awesome if Lucid hire Colton as consultant for detailing related finishes
The little guy on the 60s TV show Laugh-in always said and I agree,” Very Interesting “. Great presentation, and learning things I never thought I needed to know.
Yes I’m the nerd that watched till the end. Love seeing people passionate about their job. Very unfortunate there is so little amount of paint
I instantly saw the OG spec Kranzle wall mounted setup and knew Colton is legit!
I’ve been following Matt and OG since his early days when he had the 911 Carrera S
Appreciate the video. My car is getting delivered late December, so this is good information for delivery inspection and PPF/tinting folks.
A great video, definitely eye opening re: the paint thickness here but glad to hear it isn't as soft as Teslas.
One of the nerds who stayed until the end. Saving hard and waiting for Lucid to hit the UK. Sold my 4 year old Model S and can’t wait.
I thought I was the only person bothered by elbow “divots”! My centre arm rest has a semi permanent divot after 1500 miles and I am weirdly annoyed by it!
Gorgeous 😍 car indeed
Lucid 💗
It took me a while to get used to the turn signal too, but you have to make it click twice to stay on and then "unclick" it once the opposite way to take it off. If you you only click it once it only briefly stays on and then turns itself off.
I started cleaning family vehicles when I was about 10. This video took me to a nice place from my past when I was learning how to take care of cars.
Thinking about it, I'm cringing a little because the process was much more crude. Wash, dry, then paste wax and wipe with a towel. Done.
Anxiously waiting for the next step............
Not sure how long Coleton's been part of the team, but he's got a good eye for detail.
Haven't seen too much of Max just yet, but he seems to be fitting in too.
Closer than ever to canceling my Lucid Air Touring order. That level of paint is unacceptable. I would really consider full car PPF for that thing!
Liar!
Couldn't you do a paint thickness reading someplace where it wasn't worked on? Such as under the trunk lid, inside the door frame, etc. to determine if the paint was that thin originally, or as a result of their "work" ?
The large windshield is going to be a huge problem since we have to replace them every few years due to rock chips.
Wow! It's just like a Tesla Model x.
Serious consequential analysis; manufacturer's attention critically essential for customer remedy/ benefit.
What would be very cool would be out of spec branded or at least packaged car wellness set.
I've never seen honeycomb LED lighting before. (Reflection off the car) Where do you get that and is there an advantga to using it?
Could you do this paint review for a new Tesla? Really interesting
there is one on this channel from 3 months ago
Whens the review coming out?
those rear panels in the merc looks a little off at 4.47
Those panel Gaps 😳
What this means is that Lucid has serious manufacturing problems with its paint equipment/process, requiring massive remediation after it leaves the production line. It has to sort this out stat...🧟♂️🧟♂️🧟♂️
Very interesting and concerning.
48:10 That's pretty runny, thin foam. Cannon upgrade?
as someone with a Pure on deposit, I'm worried now. The point being that roof is low and claustraphobbic and then the paint quality
These are expensive videos for me to watch; I ended up seeking out the best detailer in the area for my new EV!
Send it to Colorado 😎
Did lucid contact you guys already about the paint issue?
Bunger:3
if I was Peter I'd be looking into the paint thickness issue with lucid . second opinion on thickness then look to get them to repaint or PPF the car .
Is it possible there are different alloys used on various parts of the body that may be throwing off the accuracy of the thickness meter? Maybe the hood or the roof surround is a different alloy than the body panels. Though the various readings around the main panels are suspect. Maybe reach out or Lucid and the paint thickness gauge manufacturers to see if that could change readings
The materials underneath don’t matter. The gauge is reading from the metal to the tip of the meter.
Ok thanks, wasn’t sure about your meter, some read only ferrous metal, some non ferrous, some read both, but require different calibration. It’s been many years since I used one, so I am sure newer units are much better. Either way film thickness was low
It looks like paint thickness was read from a sub $100 (like $67) meter bought on Amazon, not reflecting the quality of the other equipment and supplies used at this shop. Watching video how the paint shop works at Lucid, including the automated spray booth, I'm surprised at the discrepancy in readings obtained from near the same area on the hood where the hood was sprayed. I'm not an apologist for Lucid, but I would not personally state opinions on paint thickness based on a cheap, and possibly uncalibrated, meter.
It’s calibrated. Simple tool that measures thickness. Does a harbor freight tape measure the same length as a Snap on ? 🤔
@@cleardetailing5499 If the tape measured in microns, probably not. Go with the Harbor Freight or use your thumbnail. But at micron increments, the measuring tool, and it's accuracy, requires quality instrumentation.
Can anyone tell me how I can contact Colton? I want him to detail my new Mercedes EQS and would be fine with him recording for the benefit of others.
Reach out to me at cleardetailing.com! All of my contact info is on there!
Nice shot of Alissa sitting in the plaid.........not sure which video. I value her opinion on the Lucid........She is right. It might be over priced.
Weird i never hear Cadillac owners pay so close attention to panel gaps on their vehicles. Be interesting to see someone nit pick one of those new $100k+ vehicles
You mean the Lyriq? Is it being delivered already?
@@wolfgangpreier9160 Deliveries started in early July, and I've already seen a few on the road myself.
@@robertshunter Interssting! Good for GM! Now they need to ramp up the production of the Silverado ASAP!
What is DE haze?
DA haze is when there is micromarring from a polisher or improper polishing techniques
I’m scared to ask how much it costs to replace that windshield if it should crack.
The legacy automakers are smart enough to make such large single pieces of glass. Stuff like this might look cool,but most windshields get replaced during the life of a car. And it's not just replacing a windshield, but moving the tons of stuff attached to it. Huge job.
Insurance. And if not, at the cost of this car the owner won't sweat it.
🚘 Wow ! Can you recommend someone in the San Francisco Bay Area who can perform similar work ? I want this can of protection for my 2022 Lucid Air Grand Touring. 🚘
Bay Area OCDetailing
@@cleardetailing5499 How about Long Island, NY? 🤔
@@solid1378 AMMO NYC of course!
@@cleardetailing5499 Of course, however that's about 30 Miles from me on LI. Looking for a place a bit closer...😉
I thought the UAE would use higher paint
One thing I would like to understand is "what do you do AFTER" a full Coleton job -- paint correction, ceramic coating, and so on. "No worries about going through the car wash down the street?" Or, as I suspect, is it more along the lines of "don't you dare even TOUCH the car again!" Can normal human beings hand-wash a vehicle after spending a few thousand dollars on jobs like these, or do they just have to let their cars get filthy dirty for weeks, then go in and let the detailer do a $500 wash job every time you want it washed? After you spend this kind of money on every teensy tiny little detail, do you just park the car in the middle of your living room, or can you actually drive the thing like "a normal car" again?
rivian lights looks like a cartoon
Early day Tesla didn't have the billions and billions that Lucid got
I can't believe you like the interior of that car.
The exterior paint is scary for sure.
I don't like alot of glass.
You must be living in a deep hole. My condolences.
@@wolfgangpreier9160 no I haven't living in a deep hole buddy. I just don't like glass roofs or extended glass windshields in a automobile. I think it's a recipe for failure when we live in a world of pothole roads and stuff flying of tires breaking glass to be replaced.
@wolfgang, ....im 6'4 and glass roof really cold on head in winter and we are all different...why insult someone?
@@scubatrucker6806 tbh I'd love a car with an all glass roof because the Florida sun cooks it all day. Clear coat is failing on my Lexus' roof despite waxing it seasonally
Wow he’s so handsome
The framerate is killing my eyes pls fix
I got a new Computer and Monitor for you. Do you pay for transport from the middle of Europe?
I'd take 60fps over 4k anyday
@@wolfgangpreier9160 maybe don't buy pc electronics you'll need yo money for heating soon, all of us.
@@Koul Nope. My finances are safe. And i got enough PCs as its my job to sell those...
@@wolfgangpreier9160 Glad to hear. Thanks for the offer but I'm all gut brotha.
Kyle couldn't sound more biased if he tried. Listen to yourself man
The rear lights of the EQE look like a 1998 Ford Escort.
Hey I had one of those cars. Drove it almost 300k miles. I guess it had enough Mazda in it. 😂
These light bars on the majority of new cars are making them all look to similar.
Love this detailer
Wyndmoor PA
Colton and Kyle *should be* appalled at the build quality, IMHO. However, being publicly appalled will guarantee no further invites from Lucid…
👍👍😎✌️🤟
Panel gaps are OK unless they start messing up with the aerodynamics
You must have a Dodge or GM.
I cannot commit to a 90minute ramble
Same
The Apple Watch Ultra sure is ugly 😅
They are meant to be used by people doing triathlons, scuba divers and trail runners. These guys are wearing them like someone who wears a Rolex instead of a Timex.
another Lucid commercial
looks likes he is a damage control guy for lucid
Idk, kind of made me glad I never considered a lucid 😆
They criticized the car for half the video. Not a very good commercial. 🙄
Too long, summarize in 10 mins or upload this to the detailing channel instead.
Never ever buy a car with black paint, it's not worth all the hassle and ugly marks.
who measure the paint ?
Just drive off and enjoy driving !
Anyone who purchases a Lucid is inherently a big risk taker. QC and fit and finish are simply not up to legacy auto manufacturers standards. And let’s not forget about future resale values.
tesla the worst in quality so bugger off!
Absolutely disgraceful for a 150k + vehicle.
…GOTTA find a way to shorten your posts…. 15 minutes, please…
Bill, there's no need to shorten - we add chapters and these long videos are intended only for those who want to spend the time to watch... not the mass audience. We even put "full length" in the title to set expectations with our viewers that this will be a long one. This video is likely for a very small group of people and not everyone.
Enjoy deep dives kyle.
People have such short attention spans these days. If it's longer than a TicTok video, they can't deal.
