@@essentials1016 ok, top fuel is a bit of a stretch, but hey, sub 12 quarter mile is no slouch for a grocery getter! I would take a Lucid Dream over a dragster any day...
@@petitflocon647 yes sir, but they do have entry level units at like 79,000. We'll see, you're probably right, but it's still the slickest ev out there. Talk about a sleeper! I mean, pretty close to nothing could catch it... But then, who would ever break the speed limit...lol
The exterior is very polarizing. The interior is a 1000 times better than a Model S plaid. Remains to be seen if they can scale production in a meaningful way and actually have a long term future. We will see.
Quite a lovely and luxurious vehicle... This was nailed by Lucid. The interior design is stunning. So far, this is one of my favorite electric vehicles.
@@n.g3627 yea but you’re paying for the quality too , a model s plaid also costs above 100k but the quality is unmatched between this and the model s plaid
I’m really liking the design of this car. The performance and handling are spot on. That swinging gauge for throttle and regen is a really nice touch. Needs more speed on the touchscreen response is my only criticism.
By all accounts a great car. Whether they can ramp up production to successfully produce them by the thousands will be the next test. Rivian has recently found out just how hard that actually is.
Luxury car owners generally don’t like too much noise, it’s muted engine noise even in Lexus and Mercedes top-end models. But I’m kinda with you, if the sound is done right, it’s way cooler to have the “warp speed” feeling with motor noise.
Thanks man , Literally this is the first E Car that I really thought to buying it !! I’m not a big fan of E cars but this one looks amazing another level. 👏🏼👏🏼
First time hearing about this entry into the EV market. Just read an article on CNBC about 2022 production numbers and was intrigued! NOW I WANT ONE!!!!
Great specs especially a range of over 500 miles. I have my doubts at the moment if they can ramp up production, I bought a Lucid Air Grand Touring and was delivered to Millbrae 4-weeks ago, they told me it would be in qa for a few days, I paid for the car 4-weeks ago. The car has yet to work properly they told me they changed the computer and all cameras and they can't get the car to pass all tests. If they can't get 4 cars a day to work properly this can't bode well for them scaling up, I hope they can, I have yet to receive my car. To say they are bad at communication is being very kind. They have promised to deliver me the car 2 times now with times and dates and have canceled each time. I have several Tesla great cars, but they are the king of terrible service, especially communication. If Lucid fails this will not be good for the ev world, they raised a ton of money and are burning it like it's no big deal. At this rate, they will burn the 5.4 billion in cash they have in a year's time. I hope they get the stuff together and make this work but it is not looking good.
After visiting the Lucid showroom today I am looking forward to having my next car a Lucid 🥇 I saw a video on the new model Sapphire Blue and I love it 🙏
Great video and you totally covered all of my questions. I was in shock to find out you shot this video with an iPhone, the clarity is amazing! From the beginning, I was like what type of video camera is he using, then I see in the rear view your iPhone!!! Keep up the great work.
Outstanding commentary of the driving dynamics and driver controls. Betcha can't wait to spend a whole week with the Lucid Air. What an amazing feat of engineering, the details are well crafted. This is a vehicle that will be catching up with demand for quite some time - and it looks worth the wait. You knocked this drive review out of the park, Miles. 👍👍
Absolutely phenomenal vehicle … Tesla set the benchmark but looks as though Lucid has exceeded it. Looking forward to hopefully seeing one in person soon. Great review as always! 🔥
The challenge of any new car maker is scaling and maintaining profitability. Whether people like Tesla or not, right now it is the only pure EV manufacturer who can do both. Looks like Rivian and Lucid may have better vehicles, but the jury is still out to see if they can actually be successful.
@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500 well I wouldn’t call $90K hyper expensive. this is large luxury sedan and Lucid is targeting high income or net worth customers. $90K is not that bad compare to the Mercedes EQS and Model S, which are both basically $100K+. Compares to ICE like Mercedes S class, Audi A8 and BMW 7 series, it is similar.
I haul these cars I can tell you they are completely worth the money they put a lot of thought In 2 luxury it compares with very top end Mercedes Benz BMW's
Hello this lucid dream is top real Dream luxury EV thanks to shared with us I love this lucid please more test drive I shocking top 1 EV sec I like nio best is close that lucid and no noise real quality no joke this nio sec favorite EV
Got to get one of these and live in it for a year.... put like 5 Million miles on it within a year traveling Canada, USA, and Mexico...maybe even parts South America... I think there's a road of ferry across.... LOL
there should be atleast 2 battery in the front trunk which should provide +200 km . and thoose battery should suitable every electrical cars so that when you finished your own battery and extra 2 battery and you can exchange someone's full battery . extra 2 batterry should be fit all kind of electrical cars so you can give someone empty battery and you can get the extra 2 battery from who has a full extra battery till you find somewhere to find carge your car and or give back their full battery .and if you want you can online transfer them 200 km + 50 km free charge , because they has gaved you their extra battery. just an idea :D
Best EV Out there. All they need a $25k cars to take over the EV market
It’s always been about their production for me lol. It’s a great car but will it be around in next 10. I truly hope so
I really think that would be break through for any ev!! A genuine 25k car.. We need it
LOL
One that can go fast too
bro they arent mirecal workers, just buy the 100k one its already cheap

Wow that interior is gorgeous!
First EV I like
That lucid is gorgeous
Attention to detail in this car is insane
I have a Tesla, and those dash speeds move really fast on that Lucid. I could only imagine.
Sell yo Tesla and get one trust me I bet it's better
Great job Miles! Love the way you took us through this man!

@@MilesPerHr Yes!
won't gonna buy any one of these expensive cars but i find such pov driving videos of yours to be relaxing and calming to watch...
This has to be the best video on how to test drive vehicles. Loved it from beginning to end.
Great to hear! Thanks for the feedback!
An all black one passed by me about an hour ago and I had to go Google what it was, I'm feeling it.
By all accounts a great car. Whether they can ramp up production to successfully produce them by the thousands will be the next test. Rivian has recently found out just how hard that actually is.
Yeah it's hard...especially with a pandemic, and a war.
Thank you for showing what a Lucid air dream really is 🚗💵
Good to hear about the ride quality... one of my major sticking points perhaps resolved.
What I love is you have to actually explain how it feels because the lack of exhaust sounds don’t put it into perspective.
😆 It's true! Otherwise, it's just seeing the numbers grow crazy quickly on the speedo
Im so glad to see a new ev manufacturer and i gotta say,its one beautifull car with an absolute gorgeous interior
Wow, theyve absolutely nailed it with this car beautiful
Man...this is enough to make the Lucid Air my dream car.
The way that windshield melts into the roof. That's insane! Such an epic car!
🤍Nice car indeed! I will purchase LCID stock while it’s below $30 😊
Buy now and hold long, very long!
Good overview and great to see and hear the excitement you are experiencing from the car. Looks like it drives amazing and smooth.
I love the motor whines. Many manufacturers are trying to rid of it and I don't know why

Me too! I'll find a way to get behind the wheel of one

That is the European turn signal sound. It is actually a retro sound. The same relay was used in Wolksvagen Golf in the 1980s.

Tesla officially has competition
I'd take the Lucid over Tesla model S but the Porsche Taycan is still my favorite.
This car has everything, so pleasant in every way. Truly amazing car. I'm hoping I can buy one at some point in the future.

Undeliverably gorgeous!!!!!!😲
Looks like a much better deal than a Model S. If price was a little less I would order one today.

Would be nice if Lucid could allow selection of sounds, such as for turn signal and other car chimes, from menu

Plaid has better luxury features tho
Definitely the best looker by a long, long way... Only the price halts any purchase..
First thing I noticed about your video is the POV approach. Very immersive! Great video!
I can feel the smoothness through my computer screen
Jeez lueez..you had me at Alpaca wool 🦙🥰
I actually seen one couple days ago in Boston, really understated car for 1,000 hp
This car is mind blowing! I hope they can increase the production ASAP
Love the interior quality
This is my favorite looking Ev out yet
Lucid $lcid the best of all EV 💙💙💎💎
I look up this car after watching video I feel in love with this car total MSRP $167,000 for this model
The passenger wasn’t happy until he started going fast😂 wow this is amazing
This car is just beautiful.

What a unique design
The two tone interior is very nice. Beautiful car, inside and out.
Our Air Grand Touring should be here in about 2 months. Thanks for the great review.
Enjoy it!
Did anyone enjoy the scenic route and beautiful weather this car was driving in. Yes, California baby.
Where do you take this car for any repairs or maintenance?
there is a 50’s/60’s vehicles design vibe in this car, i really like it.
Looks like a cyberpunk 2077 car
This is what a SAAB would look like in 2022 if they were still in production 😍
I sure do miss SAAB.
The aesthetic it's self is beautiful.
The Tesla S Plaid with the OEM 19" wheels and all-seasons has a 396 mile range
I have a Grand Touring ordered. Can’t wait.

lol yea you must be old

Nice Car Miles!
Thx for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I saw one of these o the road recently... Surely a looker... A nice car...
Did the front trunk and the truck not work? It's weird that you cut the footage to the showroom and not show it on the actual car.
I wanted to keep the exterior/interior walkaround portion brief. B Roll was quicker to show both.
Ive been all in to this car since 2015. I hope on getting one soon
I can't be the only one that likes the exterior.
