Should I Sell My Lucid Air Grand Touring And Buy A Porsche Taycan? 

He will totally get one, then 3 months later get something else lol

@@doomsday9973hasn’t even had the Lucid. Kyle took it and Dave hasn’t had it for more than a week

@@jimparr5412 lol that’s right! Crazy! Always wondered how Kyle can swap out these 100k cars like candy too. Dave I get, but it’s not like out of spec has millions of subs

I work hard for a living and make videos for fun. Not sure what my number of subs has to do with your comment here. In any event, appreciate you watching! Have a great day!

@doomsday....... With such a positive screen name I can tell you that Kyle has built a number of channels and views and sponsors pay not subscribers. Kyle says he is not focused on subs and just tweets when he puts up a video. They all work hard and enjoy the content as it's free.

😂😂😂😂😂

Thanks! Means a lot sir…

Hi. Has your assessment changed since your last comment. My husband is interested in a used Taycan or lucid. Thx!

😂

The Lucid is ugly in my opinion. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Great context Larry. Thx!

@@dconner9☝🏻what he said 100%. With that said…. Dave, what will the prime purpose(s) for the large sedan choice? I like watching your content. Most of it seems to be with you and your wife. Based on that, get Tesla Model S Long Range, smaller wheels. Your wife will feel right at home with the total experience. Except, smoother, quieter, roomier, more gear storage, longer range than the model Y. And your both get the perfect Tesla charging experience. Comfortable seat, Bailey proof, huge space for goodies front and rear. The best buying experience, best long range road car. Not picking on the Lucid. If someone wants to have a more expensive Jaguar just because it is unique, ok. Not for me. I will save the cash with the Model S, add a wrap.. or if a Plaid send to Unplugged Performance if I wanted something more rare. Point is… IF your primary goals are to have a great on the road to Florida (and back), with tons of secured space for things (large frunk), the best safety ratings, the best EV service fleet and locations for traveling (IF needed), amazing drive, optional by the month full self drive (yes, for me essential great tool for my long Tesla journeys) that no one else has over the great distances, so easy and stress free while driving manually, the best dynamic route planning (BTW, Kyle better be careful what he says about the “fixed” precondition setting he claims..wrong), by far the most reliable- consistent fast every time charging network, and host of other benefits by staying with Tesla, you both will be happy! BTW, little T birdie provided stats on Tesla charger base (“pump” for those thinking ICE) reliability.. “five nines or greater”. That means 99.999 up time for the charger “pump”. If someone damages the charging chord, exception. That is still not good enough for Tesla team. Why? That is 22 minutes of down time a year (24/7) when the math is run. Most are stations are above this. However, this a minimum. In the past hard line telecom days, “five nines” was also a minimum. You are old enough to remember the old analog hard line phone network. Expect for extreme tree damaged from storms, people digging up cables, car crashes into poles, the “phone” was always on. Much more than electric power. In this regard, the 21st century Tesla Supercharger team is old school. Strive for absolute reliability at every stage. NO OTHER company has that same view. Go with Tesla. support the USA team. They earned it. No down sides.

@@johnross6314 Lucid is also USA team, with Rawlinson responsible for the Model S. The points in the video are valid though, I think the biggest one being that the Taycan can do sustained 270kw, whereas the Lucid peaks higher but seems to be have trouble on EA if you’re using anything other than ABB 150kw for me. I’m looking forward to seeing their videos comparing whether the Taycan can get you from point A to B quicker than the Lucid because it works better on DC fast charging. Nobody knows the answer thus far.

@@larrywineland4682 Money that controls all, is Saudi. And China in background. Right now, both seek to get rid of petro dollar. They are adversaries. Lucid is owned by adversaries.

You are 100% right on this last trip; we went off grid to the OOS way :)

Will be out in Colorado in a couple of weeks driving my Lucid, a RWD Taycan and Kyle’s Model S Plaid back to back and doing some testing with him. Stay tuned. They are all great cars. Tesla just makes everything easier if you road trip a lot because of the network. And Bailey loves Dog Mode! Good luck to you and thanks for watching!

Average new car price in the USA in 2022 was $48,000. That’s not Taycan level but significantly more then a Bolt. So no “most of us” are buying cars significantly more expensive then the bolt or leaf

Agreed must be so nice. Can’t relate

Mine died when I was 23 and we didn't have good relations for years before that. Hard for me to imagine what such a dad-son relationship feels like.

Adapters will be good'nuff

Yeah, I’ve only been able to do 61,000 miles on mine without a Tesla plug.

Here is my secret. You ready? I work

@@outofspecdave1554I’m trying to remember, have you ever shared with viewers what it is you do for a living?

And big apologies! I realised today I’m subscribed to Kyle’s channel, but not yours even though I’ve been watching you often! Oversight now corrected.

My car change cadence is strong no doubt. But for the respect of humanity, I would recommend you change your underwear a bit more often than that

@@outofspecdave1554 No issues with you experiencing plethora of vehicles. Like Consumer Reports, you buy your own gear you seriously review. Unlike CR, you and your wife do a much better job at this than CR. :) We all know you make some cash from the channel. However, most of us also know, you are putting your cash, or credit line on the line when you buy. Verses some millennial YT’er sponging off the perks of PR firms from car companies. This is serious fun for you.. Get that… Even so, when you spend your own money, you will have a added valued perspective for the viewers..IMO.

I am actually quite concerned about many people with stinky socks and underwear hurting the noses of the masses rather than them nagging me. I say wash often please, rinse and repeat.
