There’s no EV in the world right now is better than Lucid Car Technology. Literally, None! The more the haters say it’s gonna go bankrupt, the more Lucid grow, interesting! Lucid Gravity comes this year, and Smaller size SUV comes in 2026, and Tesla sales will plummet starting end 2026 and after. Mark this words!!!
Thanks for the review. Reinforces my decision to have just bought one!
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching!
Great review of a great car. I pre-ordered and bought one of the first Air GT models made. It is an amazing car with every option and endless power, but if the Pure had been available then I probably would have bought it for literally half the price. The Air's suspension and tuning are world class and I just love that rear wheel drive feeling. Savage Geese have a good review of the Pure driving fast. Worth a look.
Lucid said from the start that their target market was the people who buy premium European brands today. So far this year they are outselling the Porsche Taycan and Mercedes EQS, but many people naturally compare the Air to the Tesla Model S. The Air Pure handles better, has longer range, much bigger rear seat room, and the material & build quality of the Lucid are simply better. Not mentioned as much are the facts that the Pure gets longer range on less battery than the base Model S for a slightly lower price. The Pure is an amazing vehicle and well worth a test drive.
It's a wonderful machine. Tough to beat from an EV perspective.
Air GT owner. A really good overall review of the Pure. Though some of your numbers are off. The GT can support 350KW of hyper charging, and while your number of 450 miles of Range on the GT is accurate, those are max driving range numbers, whereas I get 470 miles of actual range, but only push it to 450 before I charge again. I personally think that for $70K Lucid should have included some more of the higher trims for this unit. I hate the fact that someone has to pay that high of a price and feel like they are being short changed on the features. Which is why the lease of this unit is such a great deal.
Again, a good review with knowledge of the product (really important!) Take care and good luck.
Wow that range is crazy. Is that really the range you’re getting??
I have the Pure AWD. First, it’s so powerful that it’s hard to drive with efficiency in mind. This thing absolutely flies and handles like a BMW 7 series. But if I try and drive 65 on a nice day, I’ll get maybe 375mi on a car rated for 409. So pretty close.
We can only quote the EPA-rated numbers. We just said the Pure and Touring only get 200 kW. Per Lucid, the GT and Sapphire do 300 kW.
My next BEV is a Lucid, we have 4 Tesla cars. Range and technical capabilities makes this the Best Buy
Lucid is a badass car
So Lucid is here to stay float!!
The amount of steering corrections you do back and forth either mean that the car is unstable or that you are getting the geometry of your lines wrong leading to that constant correction movement.
Great review. Looking forward to Lucid Gravity three row 7 seater SUV going into production this year.
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO LUCID🏆🏁 FAMILY🙋♂️♥️🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉🎆🎇🎆🎇🎆🎆🕺🕺🕺 KEEP ADDING ON TO YOUR LUCID POSITIONS EVERYONE STAY FOCUSED BE DISCIPLINE HARD WORK DEDICATION GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE!🫡💯🙌💎💎💎💎
The Touring is the sweet spot. On Smooth it's roughly as quick as the Pure on Sprint -- if the Pure can hook up, that is. The GT is a little faster, but not much
So I have a Model S and love that with the seats down I can fit my road bike into the car without removing the front wheel. Do you think that's possible with the Lucid? Love these cars!
I think we have different definitions of affordable
It's $650 per month to lease. That's not high in today's market, sadly.
This car is amazing
You're probably underwhelmed by the launch because it's not able to put the power down. I'm guessing 50+ mph felt more powerful. I just Turo'd a Pure on the mileage/base 19 inch wheels. They completely cripple the performance. Rolling burnouts and/or massive traction intervention at speeds up to 50ish mph. By comparison, the Touring and Grand Touring can mostly put down full power on the 20s and 21s respectively
Full self driving is so undervalued
15:30 Incorrect. The Touring has the same claimed range. 411 mi vs claimed 410 on the Pure. The Touring has a slightly larger battery
ok the glass canopy is not available in the pure got it no biggie but perhaps an option for a power moonroof would be nice. not as expensive as a full glass canopy and totally doable.
Just adds production complexity. But yes, we agree with your idea.
Love the efficiency. Does it have NACS built in? Wish it had Tesla software.
We have a Model S Plaid (replaced our 2015 P90D) and a Lucid Air Dream Performance. To me, software is only part of the overall control suite of a car. Although it took Lucid a while to get there with its UX 2.0 generation and subsequent updates, at this point I find the Lucid a much easier car for drivers and front passengers to operate with its well-thought-out mix of conventional stalks, switches, vent controls, and software. Even on the software front, our Lucid has features the Tesla does not: plays a USB music stick, provides a birds-eye-view for precise parking, provides dual satellite map screens so that you can use different compass orientations and zoom levels simultaneously, etc. Also, our Tesla software is not problem-free. Every couple of weeks we go through bouts of no response to the key fob to either open or start the car. We have to keep our key cards on us for such situations to get in the car and sometimes even to start it by having to rub the key card over the phone charger pad. And the automatic gear selector seldom gets us out of the garage and driveway, meaning we have to swipe the screen to select the proper gear. And, if you're a front-seat passenger, try changing the cabin temperature, vent directions, or audio volume while the car is moving. It can get pretty hairy. Bottom line . . . I'm very glad Lucid doesn't copy the Tesla approach to vehicle operation.
@@blakespringpasturemortimer9168 remember you can push the right on button the Tesla steering wheel and talk to it to make changes.
@@guyg2005 I know that, which is why I said the difficulty is for the front seat passenger. It's a little hard for the driver to adjust the passenger's air vents to satisfaction, and it's annoying to interrupt the driver to ask him to change the passenger's temperature or the audio volume. Putting every single task in the hands of the driver only is not a good way to design a vehicle's operation.
@@blakespringpasturemortimer9168 I guess I'm lucky. My wife doesn't want any AC so its always pointed at me. In my Y I believe there is a volume control on the bottom right side of the screen near the passenger seat to adjust the sound. Unfortunately I no longer want to fall into a sedan, so any sedan from any manufacture is off the table. I am 6'4" and Texas size and no longer want to crawl into a sedan.
@@guyg2005 There is a volume button on the lower right corner of the screen of the Model S. However, as I said in my original comment, the difficulty is in operating it when the car is moving. The icon is small (and our Tesla rides considerably more roughly than our Lucid), and you have to hit it just so to get precise adjustment of volume. Same with the air vents.
I thought these guys were out of business!🤣🤣🤣
I expect Polestar to be better because it is cheaper, efficient, has high quality, longer range, and modern design
What Polestar has longer range?
I know they're be around for at least 2 more years, their betting the farm on their upcoming SUV which will start around 70K, they're realizing like others that they overpriced their selves in this market. Competing against Telsa who can afford to continue to drop the prices of his vehicles in order to get more sales. Fisker warning bells are ringing also in my ears and I can't see nothing more than leasing anybody's EV vehicle, still deciding and Lucid was once a pipe dream, but drop the prices on the next model above the Pure and you might get me to bite
I thought this car would look better in person, it does not.
really?
This design only looks good in certain colors.
@@carbuzzcom it’s not my cup of tea.
Manual frunk means finger prints will always ruin the front center of the car. No go
Wonder if they will be around in 3 months, 6 months or a year from now. Hard to justify with all the uncertainty surrounding them right now.
They are majority owned (60+%) by the trillion dollar PIF fund that Musk was trying to get to buy out Tesla in that "Funding Secured" debacle. Their stock may be wonky but the company itself has access to all the funding it needs.
Yeah may want to look at who owns 70% of the company and has more money than God…
The PIF wont let this company fail.
If I want a EV sedan , why would I buy a 70k car when there is model 3 for 40k. 30k more for a smoother ride , no thanks.
Q: why would I buy a 70k car when there is model 3 for 40k(?) A: because then you're both stuck with a Tesla AND stuck with being associated with the guy who keeps committing overt Securities Fraud (to boost the Stock) by lying about bringing out a Robo-Taxi (a vehicle that's now NOT going to arrive this August either).
This is bigger, drives better, and feels nice. Why would anyone ever buy a bigger car ever?
So you’re comparing this to a Tesla MS! Please, give me a break! This thing couldn’t hold a candle to a Tesla MS, and I’m not talking about the plaid version either.
So you buy a car based on what your passengers want? I brought my car based on what I want, and there ain’t no dang way I would buy a hardtop, as everyone who’s sat in my 2024 Tesla MS, dual wheel all wheel drive, is just blown away with that glass roof, and if heat there’s a problem, have you ever heard tinted glass?
So I just had my windows tinted, but I left the roof, because I don’t have any problem with heat in my car, and just one more thing, can the Lucid Air drive itself?
Fan Boy Angry Man
Looks not classy , but a car for thugs
Zeekr001 much more better and cheaper
