Lucid Air Owner's Review 

Looking forward to it!

Can’t wait for thattttt!!!

Looks like a good weekend for Lucid content 😉

Yayyy.! This is another review am looking forward to

Geez Sandy. Just watched the Plaid motor teardown and thought that your best video of 2022. Looking forward to your impressions on the Lucid!

... but can we do our own work on them?

Appreciate you!

This is a B.S. CCOMMERCIAL!!!!!

@@pablorages1241 The real question.

What a dumpster fire of a phone.

Appreciate you man!!!!

Thanks dude! I’m very lucky to be a part of such a great team.

The production is great. Can't wait to see Bjorn "Mr. EV" Nyland test this in Norwegian conditions.

This is a B.S. CCOMMERCIAL!!!!!

Kai!!!!! (Our FPV drone operator)

You were incredible to work with! So talented!

Outstanding work!!

Yo Kai you're on this? It's amazing!

Nice job on the drone work! Your drone pilot is amazing. Looks like an amazing drone as well.

You have poor taste - the outside is hideous!

Too big in my opinion

lots of issues, expensive af and not worth it imo. you can buy a mclaren or ferrari for that price… whoever buys a lucid instead mist be insane imo

Imagine having the nerve to tell someone that their opinion on appearance, which is INHERENTLY SUBJECTIVE, is wrong. Y'all tripping.

​@@manuelight It's pretty silly to compare that thing to a mclaren when it's in a completely different segment. Despite this thing having a faster quarter mile time than most exotics, it's more of a luxury vehicle. Jason Cammisa was comparing it to an s class.

Appreciate you man. Thank you. 🙏

i bet you were checking out his unions too

Appreciate you. Thank you.

Long-time since jon4lakers

Yup. Team Crispy

Ah, that is why I didn't recognize his name even though I was subbed to the channel, but recognized the face...thanks for that info :)

No way this is the techno buffalo guy

@@danspivak4365 Jon’s dream has always been to be a sports announcer (or something along sports reporting).

Best of wishes. I'm currently trying to work for Lucid. Trying to get in has been difficult. They are planning on ramping up production and people are on the wait-list for their EV's. So I'm thinking it'll be easier to put yourself on the wait-list now instead of later.

Thank you man!

This is a B.S. CCOMMERCIAL!!!!!

Dream team!

So, was that you guys out in the desert drifting the wheels off an Air?

You are awesome, thank you!

Really happy you enjoyed the FPV drone footage!! Wouldn't have happened if Jon and JD didn't take a chance and bring us on. 😌

plus very expensive when you get a big rock chip!!!

It's important to have a little patience. We are human and want everyting here and now. Plants dont grown instantly abd trees dont grow in 1 day. This is a new company and as long as they show effort to get better that's all that matters

JD and crew crushed it!!!

@@jon4lakers how long did it take to film this video?

I have a database of over 350 EVs and their specs. The best value Lucid is the Air Pure RWD. And then, it’s the Air Touring - that would probably be the one I would get depending on how much the price is for a Pure AWD. However, the Air Touring doesn’t come with a glass roof standard; that’s an extra 4K. Not gonna lie; I love glass roofs. Probably worth the upgrade money.

@@blazetechstudios When you’re at that budget level, for sure. If this was even a $40k, adding 10% of the price for a glass roof seems less worth it. When you’re at 5% or less, it just doesn’t seem that far away. That said, I’m pretty intrigued by the Air Pure. Seems like the Model S competitor the middle class person might be able to afford, and if it really does get about 400 miles on a total charge, this is fantastic.

@@johnbuscher Yeah, I agree. If I have 100k to spend, I'm not going to be worried about 4k. Of course, I don't and to be honest I wouldn't spend it if I did. If I had 100k, I'd probably buy real estate. The specs for Air Pure are actually a rival to the Model 3; the Model S blows it away in every category. The Model 3 is still a better overall value, even with these Tesla inflation prices. But, the comfort and preference is a huge difference here. I would want an AWD version though; they haven't announced how much that will be yet.

Going by this video, looks like they will. There are plenty of rich Liberal Tekkies in Portland all masked up and ready for their $170,000 Lucid.

@@captainamerica9353 Very passive aggressive for no reason.

@@misccarvids , nothing passive / aggressive, just stating facts.

Thanks Paul.

It's not that it's not impressive it just makes it tough that it exists and is faster for 50k less. With not alot of competition it def stands out.

Understand your point, but it is targeting Mercedes, not Toyota. Battery tech seems fine, charging stations by and large get one at home...if you can. If I had 200k or so laying around I would buy one.

I predict those 77 shares will be advantageous in a few years as the company ramps up production as well as roll out their SUV.

Don't want to patronise you or anyone else reading the thread but it's a hype driven start up. There may be huge money to be made or you may lose it all. Please don't take a risk you can't afford on the EV "dream" (hehe!).

Its a New Car Company ! Give them a Break ! It took Tesla 10 Years to become Profitable . Many, many Rich people around the World could totally Afford Lucid Ai ! No Worries' !

Lucid and Rivian are taking things a step further

The problem with tesla is that you are automatically signed up to the douche cult... big mistake. Switch to the lucid. The tesla charging net (if u even need it) will be open to all soon

Yeah he probably wouldn’t call people with lower trims or once more of these hit the road but I would like to think or hope, (because I don’t like Tesla and love what lucid is doing and want them to succeed) that he is at least calling or emailing other owners if they have issues. He’s the CEO of a new company that has started off by selling the most expensive trims first, so the type of people buying these cars are probably people he knows, maybe network with or just aren’t people you want to be on bad terms with. If he only contacted John because of his platform but not the others (if they had issues), that would be a mistake on his part imo because now is the time to do it while it’s manageable

This car should be The Benchmark of what EVs should look & perform. Its impressive how a brand that just started making cars has designers doing it better than other reputable car manufacturers, who just end up making uninteresting blobs.

Appreciate you!!

Nope

The solution is to bring along a propane-powered catalytic heater and set it in the back seat. See? Gotta be creative if you wanna save the planet.

Consider that the Air was the better part of a year late from the initial delivery target. Some people had been waiting for a very long time for cars they had reserved. Waiting for software to be really finally 'finished' is a futile task.

Tesla has been no different

Tesla will have less issues. I think Lucid will be ready in 2-3 years, not now.

@@rami8896 Which quality issue we talking about that are current in model S Plaid? Yes Tesla had a rough road to where it is now, but quality surely is very good now with the model 3/Y(from china) and Plaid. I bet Lucid will also have it struggles once it start getting into mass production and not hand build these cars for reviewers and first buyers. Having a service person come to you 5 times in 4 weeks is maybe an option now since there only a handfull of lucid cars out there, but in 1 year don't expect any kind of that service once they have over 40k cars out on the road and see yourself making trips to a service center. Basic stuff as support for apple car or android auto should be in a car of this price range. This is where i see where a lot of companies struggle atm, software. If there is one thing Tesla does well it is software, since these cars are software on wheels, the customer will first look at the car overall luxery but than realize that it's actually the software that give you the luxery and freedom. Look at the Audi E-tron GT, a competative car, decent performance and looks very good with the high end luxery of Audi. But the software is so slow, so unresponsive and not prepared for EV(no milage to stations, no or very bad caculation what % battery the trip is, no support for on route charging etc). It shows how far behind legacy car makers are atm when it comes to software.

@@pipooh1 stopped reading after “quality very good with model 3”. I’m a model 3 owner.

Good for you, if you only read 1/3 of my comment that up to you. Model 3 issues are with body work, guess what? Those panel gaps can be fixed within minutes. Other brands have issue with more risky components and liability of it. Which is a lot worse. - The Ford mustang got called back for improper placement of the knee airbag. It also had issue with randomly losing power and decelerating for no reason. - VW E-Golf got called back 3 times in 1 month for multiple issues. - GM Bolt got called back for battery problems and a lot more to the point they stopped production. -- Audi E-Tron GT got called back for suspension issues and software issues. The child support seats can be unsafe etc. The list goes on and on. I will take any panel issue over any of the above issues and call backs, who knows how many issues are not seen as a need of callback yet. Mayority of Tesla "callbacks" are fixed with software update while you at home.

@@pipooh1 body work? BS. It’s with suspension, sealing and design. I’ve already had two recalls in the last few months. One with sealing leak, the other with trunk design that wears out backing camera cable. Do you really own a Tesla buddy?

Thank you!

Tesla are the victims of their own success

Fortunately we had a VERY talented director leading us.

Lucid doesn’t measure to that decimal point. Tesla didn’t either…until Lucid and Mercedes came out with a 0.21 car. Tesla also doesn’t state openly which configuration of the Model S has that 0.208 coefficient, as it’s not every new Model S. Only one specific kind. Lucid is 0.21 across the line. Also worth noting, 0.208 rounds up to 0.21. Lucid and Mercedes are 0.21. The Model S is 0.208 with a heavy caveat. Regardless, we live in fun times where it’s wild to think any car got to that CoD. 👍🏻

@@JDTechTV very good points, except your wrong about the model S, there are two variations, the plaid and the standard, and they use the same body, so they have the same coefficient.

@@orion8829 Other things such as types of wheels have an effect on CoD. Not just model 👍🏻

@@JDTechTV I think you already know this, but you made a criticism of Tesla, now the internet will hunt you down to the end of time until you and your thoughts are dust.

@@martyndavies1482 🤣🤣🤣 little do they know I own a Tesla and absolutely love it. But shhh, don’t tell them. More fun that way 🤫haha

The Model Y is a great car. LR or Performance? Also 5 or 7 seats?

Thank you!!!

looks so good in person teslas got some work to do!

Thank you!

I laughed my crap out at it.

Which is obvious. This is a statement vehicle and they did an amazing job. I hope that rivian also makes a sedan/hatchback style vehicle.
