Which is your favorite? Lucid Air or Tesla Plaid?
Plaad
both
May the best win 😂
Car with real exhaust
This is Ford vs Chevy all over again, only in the electric world…
I never thought that some of the fastest drag races I would see would also be the quietest drag races. Crazy world.
To be fair, some of the loudest are also the slowest! (Hondas and Mustangs)
@@VoxelLoop Hondas and Mustangs are definitely not slow, especially not Mustangs.
@@kristijandimovski410 The loudest ones usually are though! At a strip, the loudest Mustang you hear is very likely to be one of the slower cars at the track. :)
I suppose we get it similar here in Europe, people put the most obnoxious exhausts on things with the smallest engines. Mmm, I love hearing your 1.2l EcoBoost from 5 miles away!
Imagine having a YT time machine and getting to see this random video back in 2010. Crazy.
This is even more mind-boggling: Some of the fastest drag races are between full-size, 5,000 pound, American family sedans! Like, WTH???
So some of the quickest production-car drag races are between 5,000 pound, full-size, American family sedans!
You left out one thing,....ELECTRIC! :o)
With 3 motors.
The Lucid Air Dream Edition weighs a hefty 5,236 lbs whereas the Tesla Model S Plaid weighs 4,766 which is NOT 5,000 lbs btw. That’s also a whopping 470 lbs less than the Lucid Air!
No wonder the Plaid can dance whereas the Lucid Air is more of a GT car or boulevard cruiser. That also explains how the Lucid gets the range - they stuffed a lot more batteries in there while also making the car very efficient.
quickest
@@pastortt4167 where are you taking those numbers? Maybe mixed km and miles? The only streetlegal car with 4 miles/kw/h is Tesla M3 SR. Lucid air has 3.7(which for a car that weight is honestly impressive), plaid 3.03.
I like Tesla but it's really nice to see some more competition in the market! Well done Lucid!
If only a Tesla was able to do turns and go for longer distances. Right now my Toyota Corolla s would probably beat it over 4 miles hahaha... These drag races over 25 ft a pointless I can walk that distance....
@@levondarratt787 Nobody asked, be quiet, pack your bags, and go you hater.
@@levondarratt787 If only people like you wasn't in this comment section.
@@levondarratt787 lucid looks so damn cool!
@@sedwars3616 it also cost 3x more
Never thought I’d see the day Lucid would actually have a production vehicle in someone’s possession, good stuff, hats off to them for making a nice car
What's “procession”?
@@Make-Asylums-Great-Again meant to say possession......
And that’s why we buy LCID!
@@BIG2hats They are about to announce they didnt hit 2021 goals and confirm they cannot reach 2022 goals(22000 deliveries) I am collecting my money for the dip. Its being held up my alot of anxious people right now but its technically overvalued...
@@JChurchua I almost bought in a couple years ago when they dropped hard. Watched an "expert" bash them ruthlessly and didn't pull the trigger. Beginning to regret that decision.
A 10 second luxury sedan is still pretty damn impressive
Its Elektric. You can put this engine in a Jeep and you have amazing Times
@@motektomek there is no engine my guy
10s it's impressive for any stock car
@@TheGogetassj Definition of engine: a machine with moving parts that converts power into motion. I believe that the Tesla Plaid has 3.
He used the word, "engine", independently from any source of power that may be inferred from the conversational context. You, for instance, may have interpreted his use of the word to be a derivative of the fuel-powered engine, while he may've intended it to be powered by electricity.
Either way, the generic usage of "engine" still stands uncorrected. Could he have used the words, "electric motor" to reduce opportunities for miscommunication? I think so, but hey, who gives a fuck.
@@peterg6953 generally an engine refers to combustion or other terms of energy extraction like steam, and motors are used for electricity. Not that it really matters 😅
Love how the lucid is called Lada in the dragy overlay
Hah .. spotted that, too. I guess Draggy needs to be updated to get the new car brands, once they add them.
@Insta Hub it is updated. Lucid air dream addition. Lada.
FLACID motors.
@@markplott4820
You mean Flaccid Motors?
Because it goes like a lada compared to the tesla lol
All three cars are very impressive, and Lucid to be only half a second behind the best Tesla with their first production car is extremely impressive. I think Lucid has the best design as well.
Wouldn't really say that for a car that has been in development for over 10 years with seemingly endless supply of money from Saudi Arabia and China.
What do you like about the Lucid design better?
Maybe the outside of lucid looks better but the inside of the Tesla is way better imo
@@kammitch3131 you’re tripping. Have you even seen Lucid’s cabin? Alcantara, real nappa leather and real wood inserts. Everything about it is premium, unlike Tesla’s plastic and pleather
@@DeJulius_Caesar I mean it costs 60k more
I'm wheelchair bound so I get the benefit of riding in a Santa Clara County paratransit minivan. During a recent ride I saw my first Lucid Air. I have to say it was stunning in comparison to all of the Tesla Ss around here. The other vehicle that I've seen that really grabbed me was a black Barabus G class Mercedes. It really stood out in the rest of the traffic.
BRABUS vehicles are specially made per each owner and their requests.
Brabuse's are insanely expensive. I've only ever seen one. They only mod High end cars and somehow make them more luxurious. Most commonly they mod top end Mercedes vehicles.
@@shazbotgaming7576 its spelled BRABUS, and if you live in LA, youll see one ever other block
@@Mr.Everything___ Vegas as well...they're still cool though.
I saw one the other day while driving my semi
Anybody else just love how Brooks’ testing is so respected…that all these companies reach out to HIM?! I love it! 😎
Indeed, soon it will be Brooks' to 60, Brooks' 1/4 mile etc 😉 THE standard.
Andrew Norris 😂🤣 - that would be awesome.
No Drag strip or launch? I guess he is trying to get a car from Lucid so I can understand giving the Lucid as much help as possible I guess. SMH.
Well, when you capture all the good data and do everything you can to run the cars in optimum conditions, no sandbagging or biases, YEAH! Anyone who wants to showcase their car's performance (truthfully) should wanna use Brooks and his platform! I watch some of these other YT car channels that are nice too... but they run these great races with awesome cars and provide NO DATA!!! WHY?!?!
He also has another channel called Peak Prosperity where he talks medical.
Went about as well as expected. That car really is a great first effort from a new manufacturer.
Well to be fair rawlinson did work for tesla, and the air debuted to much fan fair 69 month's ago in April of 2016.
Since then it's neen nothing but broken promises by lucid and raising more in billions than even tesla has needed so far. 🤔
Now the lucid air dream is here but somehow slower, goes further but only on a 30% larger by useable battery and it costs 30% more than a plaid does. With no existing network yet to service the cars, no sc network to charge them on etc.
I'll be curious to see if lucid even survives the next few year's. Without being absorbed by another company along the way.
Since even rawlinson admitted they'd like to go the rimac route and build motors&batteries for other oems. 🙂
@@4literv6 im impressed by lucid but still the best vir. Is way to expensive like u could by plaid and m3 with that price for lucid air dream which is the best vir.
@@4literv6 Wait, you got a few things wrong here. The only promises they may have broken would be related to their delivery timeline (very much in Tesla fashion, lol), but the car achieves all the numbers they said it would (Very much in Tesla fashion again).
Usable battery's only ~20% bigger, not 30%. And while it does cost 30% more than a plaid, in real world tests it went 200 miles further, showcasing higher efficiency, while charging much faster.
Once again, the car does everything they said it would, and it is honestly quite unfair to expect every new EV to launch with its own network when even Tesla needed many years and many more billions than Lucid ever had to get where they are today.
But yeah, It'll be interesting to see if they do survive and succeed or crash and burn miserably. The next few years won't be smooth sailing for sure. And they already seem to be struggling with production. While they do have Saudi overlords bankrolling them, you never know how long that support will last.
@@B4R0N. some folks make it their mission in life to defend tesla against all newcomers
@@B4R0N. the thing with Tesla is that they were the first to do it so obviously they would have to spend more.
Damn, Plaid was even about to pass the lucid on the one with no launch control
@Nigel Mutepfa 1.9 60ft pretty damn slow from the start too my model 3 non performance does that, my guess is they were sandbagging that race for some reason or another.
Bro who cares it’s a luxury sedan like can you imagine bring a maybach to race a 765Lt
@@adii2461 When my daughter asks me the definition of salty, I'll point her to your comment. I guess 400 miles of range (with a much smaller battery, mind you) is bad in your book (smh).
@@adii2461 No they were both close to fully charged and also both have very impressive range numbers.
@@bayodaman and the model s is a family car lol, same thing 😂
This is one of the quietest drag races I have ever witnessed 😳
1st race : 3:50
2nd race: 5:24
3rd race : 6:51
4th race: 8:09
i love the plaid ;)
🔥🔥🔥
thank you sir
You're the real MVP man.
i hate it i have hennessey
The coolest thing to me is seeing the rims of the lucid spin, slow down as it hits a harmonic of the frame rate, spin, slow down again, and I think it hit 5 harmonics. That... Is fast.
Yeap!
it's like that clip of the bird flying in front of a security camera appearing as if it were hovering lol
I only counted 2 harmonic speeds. 1 at 60mph and 1 at 120mph just before the end of the race. As they slow down they hit those 2 again. So 4 total.
Can u explain the harmonic thing
@@urmom2438 wheel rotation speed matches the frame rate of the camera
Since both cars are electronic and have wireless tech built in, it would be much better if a drag race could be wifi synched to launch, instead of relying on the drivers reaction speed.
That first race saw the Lucid driver a good deal slower than the Plaid driver to launch. That made a huge difference. Tesla still would have won it, but it wouldn’t have been such a big gap
The very long-winded video omitted some info as well. Since it takes several minutes to set up drag mode, the Lucid would be 15 miles down the road before Tesla is ready to drive. Tesla recommends not using drag mode due to wear and tear on the motors and batteries. No rational, intelligent person would drive around like that. (Yes, I know there are idiots who would)
Who would have ever thought how fast golf carts would be someday!
@Water Jogger How many golf bags can you put in the Trunk? It really must be nice to have a job to afford a Plaid ? Good for you.
@@melvinhunt6976 lol! About as close to a golf cart as a Mercedes is to a lawn mower. But yeah, they're like sharks on the road. Quick and quiet.
@@liberallarry847 you have your definition and l have mine.
Great Job on this Video!! Was waiting Anxiously for the Battle!
I wouldnt really call that a win for the Lucid if you had to intentionally handicap the Tesla to get it.
So if Lucid was so inclined to make a GT version and add launch mode you be okay with that?
@@ZzHasbrozZ The Lucid doesnt have launch control? I find that crazy given all the other features it has and how expensive it is. Either way, you run the cars in the best conditions they offer.
In any case, the Tesla is just plain faster. The lucid needs more power or needs to go on a diet to close that gap.
Still a valid test. Just because launch control exists on the car doesn't mean it will be used every time the car is starting from a stop, so it's interesting to see how the two fare against each other without it.
NO WIN, TESLA braked 10mph before 1/4 mile in order to lose... 134@1000 & 125@1320
@@electrified0 Maybe. It depends on how easy it is to put into launch control. I know the original p85d you had to prepare the car for something like 30 min before it was ready for its best performance. Obviously, that isn't realistic on the street so this test would make sense. However, I know the plaid doesn't need that anymore.
Plus, these modes aren't just launch control. They also change the mapping of the ecu that affects power output and delivery. When you aren't in this mode the car isn't delivering its maximum power. It quite literally is a handicap.
If activating launch control is anything like my Lexus where all I have to do is flick the dial over to sport plus and its ready to go then I would say this test is irrelevant. My Lexus is a completely different car between eco mode and sport mode. You're essentially racing two different cars between the two modes.
They start racing at 3:50
THANK YOU! 🙏
Thanks
After driving both I’ll deff say, the Lucid Air had the more luxury simplistic feel.
I guess the additional HP was not enough to offset for the weight difference. Can’t wait to see a tri-motor version of the Lucid 👍🏼
There are two options when you die, either heaven or hell. If you want to go to heaven you need to repent and believe in Jesus Christ
Imagine if they built a car with the same range as the Tesla Plaid, meaning lesser battery weight. Really makes me wonder how it would fare against Tesla Plaid.
@@John__-ie3od that’s also very true. Less battery less weight.
@@brotherdj777 what?
@@brotherdj777 😂
i've been wanting to see this drag race ever since i saw the lucid air's horsepower number. great video keep up the amazing work!
With less weight, the Lucid Air would beat the Tesla Plaid.
@@RogerM88 yeah no
@@RogerM88 even the model x plaid is faster than the lucid and they both weight the same, any questions?
Throw some battery away....
@@relansis6962 one focus in range...the other in drag racing to hype the fanboys.
This is by far the best performance channel on the Tubez or TV. Thank you to Brooks, and everyone else that provided access for this to happen.
I'm calling it 3 zip.
Both great cars, hope the new contender does well.
What would be interesting is to put them on the dyno and see if the power is what they say they are.
already done with the plaid atleast by Uptown Autosport and it got 1101hp:)
Definitely can't wait to see the three-way race. Three of the fastest production cars on the planet going head-to-head shows how incredible EV technology is.
I'd love to see that over a 500 lap race with pits for refuelling/charging.
Well these 1,000 HP EV's are no longer at the top. There's several IC cars that are 1,500-2,000 HP from the factory. Koenigsegg, Bugatti, etc..
@@JohnSmith-ys4nl 😂
Wind noise and tyres, the future’s version of revving V8s :-)
Looks like Tesla has nailed that launch mode.
Still wont replace the beautiful music that is a revving v8.
@@f3nixfire for you.
But for some people (including myself) it has already replaced it.
@@user-nw8jr1dk9p that's fine. My garage will forever have a V8 parked right next to these electric cars. Your garage can have whatever you want in it. I'll keep the V8 alive for myself 👍
1,67-1,9 60 ft is not a great lunch for a 1000+ hp car with awd!
Yup. Pretty boring
that was the most quietest yet most badass drag race ever
It would be interesting to me to see which brand tyre could produce the least rolling resistance on the plaid and see if it could
Shave anything off the clock
Plaid is faster and easier on the wallet. Good combo. Hoping Lucid can stay in the game and keep improving over time
And it looks a lot better than the Lucid as well
@@drivescene6747 you are delusional if you think that bug looking model S is better looking than Lucid LOL
@@Seqqsy buddy go have a seat, looks are subjective. The same way I think it looks better is the same way how others might not agree, it’s that simple. Random internet people always want to call people names when their opinions differ.
@@Seqqsy Lucid is frumpy looking. I really dislike the C pillar and the trunk design. The rest is so-so at best. To each his own, that's why we rely on performance specs to differentiate cars and the Plaid has 'em all beat!
@@drivescene6747 Lol.. Lucid is at different level when it comes to looks. Look at those headlights.
The roll races are great! Really see that difference!
The way door handle goes in is so cool
5:55
Are you planning on getting the Tesla plaid track pack for drag races anytime soon
Lucid put out those numbers on hp, heck yes you want to see more performance out of that! Great car though. I still will go for the plaid
It is peak power. Plaid powertrain can deliver max power over wide rpm. Very hard to beat.
@@teropiispala2576 you are right, sort of like lucid has tiny motor with big turbo and the Plaid has big motor with twin turbos. One is a luxury sedan and the other is sports sedan.
@@teropiispala2576 very true
I’d rather have the car with the steering wheel
@@sab0nes your choice😄
Leno's talk with the ex Lotus chief who is CEO of Lucid - is great. Amazing how the design team in Cali innovated to make the motors smaller and also achieve high rpm without using carbon.
didn't matter because Tesla won in the end :(
In warmer conditions it would be interesting if you added 0-100-0 mph testing to see if Lucid air can overcome it's weight disadvantage against the Plaid with decent brakes as well as contrasting the difference against top performance brakes of the Porsche. Maybe it'll shame Tesla into putting some appropriate brakes on the Plaid.
Tesla has already unveiled carbon ceramics for the Plaid, but they're not coming out till later this year. They're also expensive asf
@@Domdotcom799 The fact they are ceramic doesn‘t mean they break well. Only the consistence is going to be better
@@chronos_1680 This is true, but the brakes are overall significantly better than the stock ones.
Regenerative braking
Wow, that Lucid moves!
They both each have their own purpose.
The Lucid Air seem to be more focused on luxury over raw performance while the Model S Plaid seem to be focusing more on performance over luxury.
Both of their exterior and interior shows you exactly what they're made for.
I think you don’t know why lucid has over 1000 hrspwrs if you think it’s not about performance as well.
Not at all bruh the lucid is literally the preformance edition
Hence the “plaid” designation. People in the comments seem to forget that this was purposely released for the sole purpose of being “fast”
@@boxoffisa Lucid is also heavier, its focused more on comfort, build quality and outstanding interior. Their target customer are rich people looking for comfort
Model S is not a luxury car
That second race was real comedy, lol! 🙂. There's another TH-cam channel, "Tesla Plaid Channel", Where the presenter plays a game with other cars on the drag strip, slowing down and speeding up... Toying with other cars, just to make a race of it. What he does is funny too!
Ahhhhhhhh, listen to those motors fellas👂
Beautiful isn't it?
The sound of efficiency👍👍👍
Engineering point of view it is efficient. Physics point of view it’s not. It’s using a lot of power to move that weight.
The fact that this is lucids first model and its keeping up with a tesla like that blows my mind.
I think it’s kinda hilarious that @9:15 there’s 2000 plus horsetorques coming down the track and you can’t hear anything but some wind.
Sound is wasted hp
Can’t wait for the Holy Trinity of sedans test. That will be Epic!
I'm subscribed and didn't get notified of this video. WTF!
It would be nice to see this race with them using the same tires. I get that the Air doesn't come with them...but, if you are spending that much on a car and care about acceleration times, you will most likely get grippier tires.
Nice race, Tesla is doing a great job 😎👍
Have to give Lucid credit considering it's their first vehicle and the luxury inside means it's an either/or choice depending on your desires - not a runaway victory for the plaid. Also, the lucid driver seemed consistently slow to react
Also, the Tesla driver jumped at least once during those races
I noticed that also.
The lucid has a slight delay when you hit the accelerator. I don't know why it does it but it does.
It’s so weird seeing these drag races without hearing the sounds of roaring engines
Amazing. I can’t wait to see what the roadster can do against Maclaren etc
And how would McLaren catch a tesla roadster exactly?
It makes sense that Lucid wants to focus on the luxury aspect first since that is where Tesla can be beaten.
Anyway, sweet comparison video! They are both insanely fast cars!
And the vast majority of buyers will get far more value out the better luxury, interior, driving dynamics, and and range that the Lucid offers. These are both far beyond diminishing returns in straight-line speed for road cars (other than bragging rights).
@@The_Stanman don't forget the price difference is quite massive tho. But I agree, to someone who's willing to pay the diffefence, the Lucid is definitely worth
🔧🔧🛠 Build quality build quality build quality luclucid wins.
Well we've already seen Tesla cam be beaten in terms of speed as well. That's been Musk's main focus and he should just stop and focus on quality. Make a flagship car for speed, rest should just be quality and efficient. Dunno why he wants every car to be supercar fast when the average driver can't react or handle those rates of speed.
Tesla warranty repairs though. Park it and wait. And wait. And wait.
In the second run the person in the plaid stopped accelerating so that the race will be a little bit fair 😂💔
Right, that was funny
They don't wanna embarrass lucid.
Lucid driver hit the brakes in the second run, so
Actually braked before the end
oh wow. thats out at hennessey performance. Before they owned the strip I was the time ticket booth kid growing up when glen Brabham and Dee owned it as lone star raceway park. I worked out there from 13-17 years old. Its good to see the track is well kept. I miss it a whole lot. I would love to visit it again but I don't know if they open it up for events. yeah... I really miss it a lot. I have a lot of good memories.
Excellent content
Both of these cars are monsters, I love the wheel design of the Lucid Air in different speeds but I think the vehicle itself Tesla is the sexier sister
MAAAAN, That Plaid is a BEAST!
I would take either one to be honest! Amazing cars
Excellent video 👍👍👍
6:42
1/4 mile 10.21@125.64
Either the Plaid was spinning or something.
Didn't Brooks test the Plaid to 20% battery and still get under 10s?
3.02s 0-60mph?!
That 6.74s 1/8 mile says scrambling for traction.
You can see from the dash that the guy took his foot off the accelerator a bit too early.
Genuinely the slowest we have seen 0-60 and 1/8th mile from Thai car hands down. Plaids do 9s on loose surface and rain this must've been the worst surface to date 😂
from the previous video we already know lucid is no match for tesla plaid, tesla is so quick it made a 10 sec car looks slow🥶🥶🥶
it’s pretty crazy that a brand new manufacturer is competing with the plaid like this though considering how much more r&d time tesla has had
@@supperswaggdude749 the model s had been in r&d for far less time before it came out. Only advantage it has is it has been out for 10 years so they learned to make it better
@@supperswaggdude749 You do realize Lucid has been designing their Air for nearly a decade.. right? It's been like 8 years since they started
For a first car from a small company taking on the might of Tesla, very good show. There's a lot more to cars than just a drag strip.
That tri-motor is a big advantage for sure.
I like how @3:32 you made the Air pull up next to the Plaid like it was a top dog to take the car on and a few minutes after that scene in @3:35 the beat drops when the Plaid comes around the corner like it's the predator and the Air was just a competitor that got slapped.
Damn, look at the wheel ! The lucid car just look awesome on the road
Sweet video. New sub.
drooling to see the Taycan vs Plaid vs Lucid race...
soon!
I've watched enough plaid races to know the 2nd race was bs. You don't trap 116 in the 1/8th mile then only trap 125 in the 1/4. That should be atleast 145.
Also the 0-60 of 3 seconds. Impossible. Not using launch mode does not have that big of a hit, taking it out of plaid acceleration mode does.
He hit the brakes before 1/4, I guess. The purpose of that race was to show how it compares without using launch control, that’s it.
Braked before winning!!! 133 @ 1000, then 125 @ 1320; brake lights shown from out of car shot
oh, you clever one, he hit the brakes before the end of the quarter, obviously... I can see only one BS here, your comment.
@@coolguy_2997 wether with or without launch control mode the plaid is faster and cheaper...
Definitely want to see Brooks get a press car to test. Manufacturers don’t understand how influential his channel is.
I understand Lucid's decision. The customers they are after are the people who might have bought a Mercedes S Class for their last car, not a supercharged Dodge. The Lucid Air, like any sedan today, will be a low volume car. The Air is establishing an image for Lucid to support the upcoming line of luxury SUVs to be revealed later this year. I fully expect to see an all-out sports/performance vehicle from them sometime, but those cars never sell in really large numbers.
I’d like to see a full batters worth of passes in a row side by side. Which car has the cooling system to go at it over and over without failing or going into limp mode… and which car can do more passes on a full state of charge.
Great races thanks. You can tell you were rooting for the Lucid but Plaid ate its lunch.
Fun. Kinda surprising you didn't comment on the huge difference.
Driving with Tesla in such driving behavior would also suck out it's battery extremely quick. As far as range and comfort goes I'd lean more towards Lucid, besides I think this is not really a good comparison, Its like comparing a luxury car with a more sports equipped car... The only thing that Tesla does better it accelerated extremely fast but later you see speed stabilize on both and they start driving same distance apart
I would have never thought that we could have electric cars this fast. Thanks to tesla for pushing other car manufacturers to make EVs as well..but tesla is leading the way. Hands down to tesla. Waiting for model 2.
yes
Youll be waiting long for a model 2
I'm not a fan of ass-kissing the Tesla but you got to hand it to them - they showed high-performance family sedans can be made and that it is demanded. Without Tesla's high-performance models we'd see competitors focusing only ever on efficiency and therefore not high-performance.
And not just that:
Tesla also showed car software experience doesn't need to suck and is demanded.
Tesla also showed there is consistent demand for good EV's and you can grow a company by only focusing on EV's.
I believe it was BMW that long time ago said "they found little demand for EV's" - well BMW made an ugly EV so there's your missed data point. Even Nissan, despite its flaws in the first and latter Leafs showed there is consistent demand. Renault was also one of the earlier players that showed there is consistent demand for cheaper, good EV's.
But ultimately Tesla is leading the charge and convincing manufacturers of all segments.
You can dislike Elon, you can dislike the brand, you can dislike Americans or whatever else but there are facts you can't deny. Much like there is a strong possibility China manufacturing will take over leading this charge soon if it hasn't already - and Tesla did the smart thing by opening a factory in China - you might not like it but it is the world we live in.
If you think Tesla created the Plaid to be a family sedan, you need to be more informed. It’s their halo car that happens to seat 4+ ppl
@@DankensteinsNooner move along, old man, the future is now. I'm a huge fan of all types of internal combustion engines, love manual cars, etc, but I know that electric is the future. The fact that you think "we breathe out carbon dioxide" is a good argument for why electric cars don't matter is dumb. Cars account for a large percentage of pollution, like 1000x more than what the human body breathe out
Already feel sorry for the Porsche in the 3 way race.
I’d be very interested to see how the shifting in the Porsche affects the car when side by side with these others.
Don't worry. Porsche said their two speed gearbox is super duper awesome and stuff..!
Well, considering its down aprox 400 HP its still just 2 tens slower than that lucid on the quarter mile.
It has 400 less hp than the other two ☠️
I only drive a model 3 long range. But how fast EV cars are, amazing.
ONLY a Model 3 long range? 😉
The Lucid Air is racing with 21" rims. Think the race would have been a little more competitive had they replaced them with the stock 19" or maybe even the 20". Good race from the dual motor sedan. Can we upload a video with the Lucid Air against Tesla's other dual motor car, the P100D? Like to see that
I like the exterior looks, interior layout and ride quality of the Lucid much better than the Plaid. Since I don't really buy cars for track use and don't drive like an idiot on the road, I'd prefer the Lucid. They're both really cool cars. Thanks for posting!
Totally agree with this. Who needs to go 0 to 60 in 2 seconds on the way to the grocery store?

"Something"? Lots of things weigh more than the Tesla or any car for that matter. Or did you mean "some car"? If so, many cars weigh more than the Tesla. So what point were you making?
Lucid is a beautiful car. Was able to see one up close at work.
So which one has the best customer service and parts available to replace if needed?
*These cars are packing some serious power* 😳
TESLA not even Finished yet.
NEXT step, is Model S w/ QUAD motors.
@@markplott4820 Even though Tesla removed the Plaid+ from their website…
@@UProductions457 - PLAID+ was not needed w/ 4680.
1865 NEW battery still Plenty good.
@@markplott4820 So when will they start getting the 4680s in the other cars?
@@markplott4820 in late 2023 aka cybertruck
I want more science on how that plaid hooks up so well.
The lack of stopping power in the Plaid is always hilarious.
I think a more appropriate word is dangerous, but sure, we can use hilarious too.
Cause yeah let's sell an under-braked car that's one of the fastest production cars in the world to drivers who have minimal experience driving any kind of fast vehicle. Are people just gonna fucking SEND these things off of cliffs and shit? Yeah, they have done.
@@lowstrife If it was an under-braked car it would not pass safety regulation. Can it use better brakes for it performance, yes but it only as dangerous as you plan to take risks.
I would love to see you guys race the other electric car the Murtry that would be a fun race to watch.
Crazy how the lucid technically was slower
But still insanely faster compared to any ICE car on the road today lol
That was awesome
The only reasonable priced ice car would be the turbo s and I think the lucid would beat it
@@StickyFingerss I actually dont think so
pretty funny, the Lucid PR team is focused on efficiently in an 1,111 HP car? would have been much better to get the performance tests done BEFORE the owners get hold of the car and make it look bad.... and wow, looks like Lucid ignored Brooks till the numbers come out...
why are u so angry?
Efficiency and comfort are way more important than breakneck speed for average owners. Most people aren’t race car drivers
The lucid uses less energy per kilowatt than Tesla and will go farther on a full charge. That is some efficiency!
@@CK-1000 then why does it have 1111 HP??
@@fleetwood5803 because it can
What did you call that mode launch or Warp Speed?
I was curious to see that, wondered if the slightly more power can make up for the weight disadvantage. As a allday driver though i will definatly go with the amg eqe53+ when the leas of my current runs out next year. Well, maybe with a lucid GT if they get the software fixed till then.
Model X plaid weighs more than the lucid, same power as the plaid, gets 9.7 on the 1/4. Tesla has a more efficient power train lucid has more efficient tires despite lucid trying to say otherwise.
with 500ish pounds on the tesla for their first car, Lucid is very impressive!
Power to weight ratio's are more or less the same between the two of them.
@@migueljardim8177 Plaid has 3 motors therefore has way more torque than the lucid
@@nonameyet2205 TQ is proportional to Hp. It weighs more because of extra batteries for range….or better performance.
@@yingnyang2889 According to caranddriver plaid has 954ft-lb and Lucid 737ft-lb soo yeah
@@nonameyet2205 that makes no sense what you wrote. HP/TQ have a somewhat direct relationship with each other in gas cars (not diesel).
How can Lucid have 1111Hp and only 737 ft lbs of TQ? And Tesla has 1020 HP and 945 ft lbs of TQ?
Slowest we have seen the plaid run 0-60 must've been a super loose surface, glad these testd are out though!! Lucid did well for what it is
I don’t think they were using track mode.
@@johndodge8999 track mode doesn't matter. Just plaid mode does an easy 2.5-2.3
He says in the video the conditions weren't good, and they will be faster. He also stated that he didn't use the battery warm up either to make it fair for the Lucid.
The head wind was crazy.
@@IReahpZz ehh still taking lucid Over Tesla any day
Wow just awesome. Excellent. I like Tesla but it's really nice to see some more competition in the market! Well done Lucid!Lucid Air in different speeds.I like it.
*Demonstrate how Efficiently Quick / Fast the Lucid is*
*FYI, I spotted a LUCID in Riverside Kommiefornia on 8 August 2022 at 3.48PM*
*I snapped an image of it but cannot download to TH-cam*
Ah, the future. Where drag races only have wind noises
Tesla's engineering is truly on another level!
The Lucid makes the Plaid look like a Toyota Corolla.
@@crackheadbiden3273 I guess the plaid does sorta look like a Corolla from 7-8 car lengths behind.
@@crackheadbiden3273 Uhmm, nope, it doesn't. Plais looks fantastic without screaming "my wee wee is short". That Lucid ios inferior in basically everything.
And the Lucid looks like it’s trying so hard to be a junky futuristic car
To be fair the plaid has 3 motors, the lucid while have more peak horspower only has 2 motor therefore way less torque, they can also slap another motor if they wanted but that'll probably make it way too expensive
I saw a a lucid at my daughter’s school. Damn what a beautiful car. Just expensive so sad I couldn’t afford it. I hope they will make one for the masses..
Before the intro I thought my speakers are muted.. I maxed volume, it was a mistake.. Quietest drag race in the universe.. 👀
I'm super impressed with how the Air stands up against the Plaid when it has one less motor and weighs 1000 lbs more!
Correction- 400 lbs. not sure why I thought it was 1000.
but it has 90hp more...
@@ReximPL And a much bigger battery
@@ReximPL 1000 lbs more and no launch control is impressive.
Now they just have to figure out how to manufacture them!
@@brdgphlly3d i think lucid had launch control
Tell you what... all electric street races will definitely have a HUGE advantage over being able to race without alerting the cops!!! 9 second cars running all night but one 14 sec Honda shows up and the cops hear it for miles. LOL
Where's the fun in that you can't even modify them so we already know what each cars fastest time is
We have an outlaw over here 😂😂😂
Now imagine all cops had electric cars. Then you would never know they are watching you.
You are forgetting that these fast race are for short durations. Eventually, after the 10sec, the combustion engine would catch up gradually. So the Plaid is not even a good get away car. It will give an advantage, but eventually, the combustion engine will catch up.
@@engr.ediyoakpanesen7260 plaid is unlike the old teslas where they are slower on the top end, the plaid has a very constant power band even on high speed, the only thing dragging it down is that its limited to only 160 mph, but will be removed in the future making it up to 200-210 mph
I hope Lucid makes it big. Beautiful car.
At what point do we throw in aerodynamics in along with the lower weight. Especially with that much wind.
Watching 2 EVs race is so quiet! Pretty cool stuff 👍
You can have a much faster Plaid for 40K less than the Lucid. Epic!!
The Lucid is plenty fast enough (as fast as Lamborghinis and Ferraris) and has better range, better interior, better build quality (possibly), charges faster, has a better control screen layout (everything isn’t crammed into a tablet like Tesla), better brakes, better handling, bigger frunk, and more interior space. I really like the Plaid, but I’m just saying.
The Lucid looks WAAAAAAY BETTER tho bro!!!
@@CK-1000 charging infrastructure is better on plaid, features are better and refined, is faster ofc, and looks better from outsite. interior is better on lucid for sure but again its much more expensive
@@devyashjangid2425 Tesla also has full self driving software that can drive from anywhere to anywhere on any street/dirt road with just cameras
@@devyashjangid2425 totally agree with all your points (except the exterior), I just felt like the first commenter wasn’t telling both sides of the story
YES!!!! I’ve been waiting brother!!!!!! I guess Lucid for the win!
