- After taking delivery of this 2022 Lucid Air Grand Touring with only 890 miles on the clock 3 days ago in Delaware from a private seller, it was time to document some of my very first early driving impressions. Take a ride along with me where I share some of my evolving thoughts about this premium car

#lucid #lucidair #tesla
I think u may be Lucid's most valuable owner. Nobody else makes TH-cam videos that actually drives the car on actual road trips on a regular basis and such. Most others just drive around town occasionally and coo about how smooth it drives. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
LOL..........Lucid needs to send you a check, Dave. You really went over the car nicely.........Thanks!
First he has to register car in his name he still driving on Delaware plates from the last owner 😂
I own a GT. I couldn’t open the port either, until I started pressing the bottom center. Now I can get it to open. Make sure your doors are unlocked. Be careful with the potholes. I’ve had 2 blowouts on the 21s.
That interior is GORGEOUS
If/when I hit the Lotto I'll stop in Arizona to pick up one of those babies on my way to buy my new Malibu Beach House... Great job Dave!
Great video, beautiful car, please keep the comparative assessments coming, you've had several evs now and your wife drives the Geneses, for guys like me who don't have an ev yet but are considering it your comparative assessments are helpful.
On my Lucid this is how I open the charge port. With the car unlocked use your thumb and press firmly once near the middle of the charge port door. Hope this works for you. Cheers!
Buying it used the right choice. I’m sure the price has been coming down nicely to make them more affordable. The creak seems to be common thing. Sitting in the back seat, I hear creaks and rattles that’s starting to come up in my partner’s Lucid Air GT. Curious to hear your thoughts on the software as you live with the car Dave. It’s good to hear you talk about the bad and the good. Keep up the good content Dave!
well it was barely used ...not a huge discount
sounds like a really bad car considering it's price
Going to test drive a Pure with a coworker who has one reserved in a few weeks. I can't wait. Gorgeous car!
Love it Dave! Fantastic car and look forward to all your videos and thoughts on it as time goes on. I'll never afford one even if they came to Australia but will live it through your videos.
Dave,
Regarding the charging door. It opens if you press HARD on the lower edge. You can also open the charging door using the Lucid App. I learned this after owning my Air GT for 3 months. Love the car. Waitlisted for the Gravity.
i agree , don't forget the trunk size ,,i would say its enormous in the eqs with a huge wide opening
Sounds wonderful, Dave! I saw one of these a year ago for Earth Day, and my jaw dropped.The one thing I don't like is that it has a trunk instead of a hatchback. I'll be most interested to hear Kathy's impressions after driving it, and how it compares with her GV60.
I think a bunch of us are waiting for her review as well, and see whose keys she swipes in the morning!! lol
While they definitely need to check out the sensor for the charge port door, how I open it on my Lucid is on the left side of the glass cockpit above the door lock/unlock icon there’s a touch screen icon with a plug on it which opens the charge post door, so just tap that right before you get out of the car. Honestly I prefer that approach to forcibly pushing on the charge port door and it’s convenient given your hand was about to open the car door anyway before you get out of the car.
Great first impression Dave after you fully review this car what’s next in you cart, not to sure where you can go from here at least not for a 5 or 6 months from now. Love the look but definitely styled for the more well seasoned senior driver, I’m more of a cross over suv kind of a driver, Model Y, EV6, Mach E, or maybe something new on the horizon, lots to look forward too in the coming months.
Oh yeah.
You finally found The One For Dave.🤩
I like the two tone interior a lot. Very nice car! Can't wait to see your road trip videos going down to Florida. Adding B roll footage of the features you're talking about is great.
Congratulations on your wonderful ride. Enjoy it, before Kathy takes away the fob from you. J/K
The charge port door should open, but having a secondary option is great. Just takes a little to get used to. Just pretend you have a ICE vehicle and you have a gas door lever to pull. Pretty simple. But Lucid should fix the issue.
You have to Push fairly hard on the bottom edge of the charge port door for it to open. It's a pressure sensor
Great timing. You should be getting the CarPlay update soon.
Lucid is awesome. I would love to buy one, but I need LCID to go back up first.
Yes Lucid looks fantastic! Btw my Tesla nudges me all the time in LA traffic. Once in Redondo Beach the car slammed on its brakes at an intersection because someone crossed the red light on the opposing side at 80 mph. It saved my life. I see a lot of Lucid cars on the road. I want to rent one. Nice body style too!
Dave my only problem you can’t compare the Lucid to many of the Tesla models. The lucid is almost 4x price of a 3. I think comparisons need to be subjective. You know I enjoy your videos please don’t take it negative.
Fair point. When I think Lucid vs Tesla, I am thinking Model S. But I get your point. Thanks for the feedback
@@dconner9 keep up the enjoyable content!! Thanks Dave
So you have to send in documentation to get app access. What happens if they go bankrupt?
Bailey is going to love this!🐶❤️
Dave what is the process to verify your VIN in CT. Is that only for a used car coming from out of state? Also when does the CT DMV ask for the tax on the car if LUCID/first owner doesn't apply it a time of sale?
Hey DAVE, just saw lucid getting wireless AA/CAR PLAY..
Good o hear your enjoring the car and congrates on getting it!
Nice colour. Killer car. Lucky man.
Love everything minus that white/tan carpet. That will be a headache and eye sore soon. Gorgeous car Dave and great detailed review.
My Ioniq 5 charge port I have consistently used the key FOB to open the charge port, but also by pushing the raised pixels on the charge port both work really well. Hope they fix that charge door it is inexcusable to say go in the car and use the charge door release there, this needs to be fixed!
The process of transferring ownership is the same as Rivian I just purchased as 2nd hand owner. It’s good risk control especially nowadays with so many scammers out there.
Dave In dream drive pro activate turn signal wait a heart beat or two then move over.
I will be very interested in the new lucid suv coming out , I feel like that be the only suv in the class of the model X . I can not afford either one. I have the 21 dm or model Y and really love that car . I still have my reservation on the aptera .
Dave great video, beautiful car also .
Excellent review, thanks!
6:15) Watch Dave's eyes. He looks waay down to see information, behavior that suggests very poor screen placement. Drivers need information in their line of sight. Basic safety ergonomics.
The GV-60 has HDA I. I may have forgotten if you had an Ioniq 5 Limited before with HDA II. Great review and a beautiful car. For real.
Yes I did have an IONIQ 5 Limited with HDA2 where I never felt the scooch feature. In addition on my Model S when I paid $199 for FSD, I never felt it there either. Nice clarification on the E-GMP cars
Hey Dave I was wondering if you have reviewed or considered Rivian RT SUV . I am keen to see that one if you can do some day
Great summary! A friend has an Air and says that you have to have the car unlocked and the key nearby in order to open the charge port door by pressing it externally. I’m assuming you tried this, though? Might be related to the key issues 🤔
Great looking car Dave. My biggest concern would be where are you going to get it serviced when Lucid and Rivian go out of business?
Move over Kyle, your dad is my favorite car youtuber
Same here!
Re charging workflow: you’re out of the car to ensure the charger is functioning before opening the charge port? I can see that.
This is what Lincoln should be making, it looks like a Continental to me, in the nicest way possible.
That's Stunning car
Just curious, with all the cars you’ve had are you rolling negative equity into any of them or are you breaking even or a profit.
have you tried using the mobile app to open the charge port door
noticed a couple particulars ,trunk opening much wider on eqs ,, and you had to look very low to find info for efficiency , did not appear you could keep vision forward while trying to find screen ,,
Im very interested in this beautiful car as well but I really want to see how it is after the honeymoon period ends.
Are the front two seats a different color than the back?
my eqs 580 may never talk to you again
EQS has all of those features you listed. Front and back cross-traffic alert, huge and flawless 360 reconstruction, lane keep nudging that vibrates the wheel. EQS changes lanes perfectly too, showing a great visual representation of the current traffic situation while doing it. Add to it the Mercedes service network and backing of an established automotive manufacturer. Feature by feature, the EQS was ahead in my own comparison which is why I ended up with it.
@@ani_b big difference I think is also national dealer network if you need emergency service ,, and you know they are going to be around long enough ,, and what would happen when you need parts , or how long brpefore some of these companies fold
@@ani_b I decided against the EQS because of these factors: the overall length of the car, no frunk, no bi-directional Charging, unconfortable backseats.
@@benistudhalter9349 did you mean it’s too long? The rear wheel steering makes up for it though, the car is more nimble in tight spaces than any other I’ve driven. No V2L is sad but hopefully next gen EQ vehicles have it. As for frunk, I think the hatch style cavernous trunk is more than enough for my needs. I tend not to use frunks when a kick hatch is available, just easier. But yeah some people might prefer it. Fair enough.
Yeah rear seats aren’t truly S class. But since this is my daily driver and the front seats are excellent, I don’t much care for now.
Would the giant glass roof be a problem in Florida in July/August? I know the glass is tinted, but does the car get much hotter even with the tinting?
TIA
Meeeenn... it looks good from the top view.
Very handsome car, much more attractive than a Tesla but I do wonder if Lucid will survive! They are not achieving sufficient sales numbers to make profits and can only generate negative profits for so long before they’re bust! Wouldn’t want to own one of the cars in that scenario!
How much did it cost you with 100miles?
I'm curious how that footwell is going to look a year from now
I was thinking the same thing, white carpeting is a head scratcher for any car.
It’s not great. My partner decided to get black all weather mats from lucid as the existing carets look grey now anyways. 😂
Why did they sell it to you so soon? How much of a savings of the original price were you able to negotiate? Congratulations on the new car. It's definitely a blessing and looks beautiful. I'm happy for you. Do you think that more will start to sell?I am also wondering how lucid's suv will compare to rivian's suv, and eventually the Faraday futures FF1. Who will be the electric suv winner?
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO LUCID FAMILY 🙋♂️❤🥳🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉🎉🕺🕺😉✌💎💎💎
Love the look.
Drove that car… made me buy a Tesla..
Lucid is a beautiful car but the Tesla is a more sensible purchase due to the overall package. Once Tesla makes the push for the Tesla insurance and driverless software update it will be impossible for others to sale their cars. Tesla never talks about it but they have all the engineers from SpaceX to share ideas with.
“Primary driver take me to Dunkin Donuts “
Do you think this company will survive
When are you going to register in your name and get plates?😮
Appointment is set for Saturday.
@@dconner9 👍
Crack in glass roof over driver side rear?
It’s a reflection
Key fob that’s interesting that the battery would be bad on a new car
Wow
My theory is that the previous owner may have kept the FOB’s in the cup holders while parked in the garage. If so, the car could have been pinging the FOB’s constantly to drain the batteries in the FOBs. Just a theory. I will keep an eye on it
Chinese coin cell batteries are hit and miss for battery life. I've had some almost dead when I just took them out of the package.
Scary if they can’t keep a fob battery going scared to trust them with a car lol
Just being cute but scratching head
6:23 Did you mean Model S? I don’t think should be compared to a Model 3.
Yes. Agree
It is a beautiful vehicle!
nice frunk though on lucid
3.9mile per kwh.. Multiply that with the battery capacity of 112kw that will give you 436.8mile range.. Very far off from it claimed 516miles..
Even with the 19inch tires, you just gonna get 10-20miles more..
Hopefully someone else’s financial loss became your gain. Any concerns about the viability of the company?
lucid announces 3/29/23 firing 18% of work force including executives ,, that's not good,,car can be very smooth but road has tons of pot holes
Best EV car made in USA ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
Dave looked happier in the Model S.
Hmmm... AI and a user named Dave. Maybe name it Hal?
Love the car. :) The audio is not great :(..
8:47 I think emergency vehicles are trying to get by oh no!
it does not look good either to have a bent rim on side of road , waiting for flat bed ,,we noreasters know that well ,,don't we
Haha. Yup! Been there years ago with my Model X. Not fun. Need a spare solution for this car. Any advice is welcome
Just by the video i can see the Tesla is no longer your choice.
TFTC
Key fob battery died? Look at your son's video when he visited Tom. There is evidence of why the battery died.. Ha ha.
I'm favoured, $300k every 4weeks! Can now afford anything and also support God's work and the church.
Hello friend , I also trade with Mrs Mary Elizabeth avella services what a coincidence!!
I started with just 4thousand now earning upto 15thousand WEEKLY.
A friend that referred to her just received €7,050 profit after 10 days of investing.....I became jealous... Lol😂
HONESTLY, I WILL SAY SHE IS AN ANGEL WHO GOD HAS SENT TO HELP THE NEEDY.
I also make 3.00K every 4 weeks wow, really a coincidence
This video just convinces me that EV's are overpriced and Tesla is still king.
We dont wanna see your head for 20 min video…show us the road dashboard or something…..just a tought…..lovely car..
he changes his car every week? lol
This was not a change. It is an add
Trust fund manager
@@dconner9 great i was really hoping to see more model 3 base contents! enjoy!
I don't understand. You buy a car for a few months and sell it?
He’s an enthusiast with a TH-cam channel. Nothing weird about it.
