The Grand Touring Performance.:

A very serious automobile.

Huge jump in price for the performance model - from 140k to 180k. I think I rather have 800HP and 500 miles range for 140k. but still a steal compared to the Germans.

I like the 5 spoke wheels. My friend's Lucid still doesn't have all the features enabled and suffered a severe meltdown one day that required it to be towed from her driveway. Sounds like the service has been top notch though and super responsive.

I like the car more and more every time I'm in it though, I must say. Easy choice over a Model S. My Tesla-obsessed neighbor is even interested.

I don't know why , but this sounds somehow sadistic...

I saw a lot of issues with Lucid in the last month. Looks somehow rushed...

Service being top notch is JUST a "first batch perk" . Because they delivered so few , that almost anyone can work instantly on a broken car...

Let them deliver 100.000/ 1.000.000 , and see them become the evil , like Tesla...

I remember a few years ago , prior to Model 3 release , when Tesla was top notch in terms of service and ease-of-use

These fit and finish issues are unacceptable imo. But I still think it's a f'ing awesome car. Can't wait to see it compared to the upcoming i7

Was in the Lucid showroom in the Meatpacking District...

Fun.

You keep going to the wrong coast!

West is just too damn far. This was already 17 hours flying time.

This car looks so good in so many different colors

Damn, I struggle with anything beyond 8.


So what did you think about the Lucid?

 

[Ghost1]

Its a really good looking car. But I wish it had more RWD proportions than it has now.

This was a pre-production static demo. Interior wasn’t properly finished off. Weren’t allowed to sit in it as a result. Exterior-wise, fairly visually appealing but not as attractive in the metal as it is in pics, interestingly enough. It’s also pretty huge which counts against it, unfortunately.
In short, the Lucid carries a lot of visual bulk which simply doesn’t impart the tautness of a smaller vehicle. Model S v1.5 remains the EV sedan aesthetic benchmark imo.

Some serious quality issues with this car, but sure that Lucid will sort them out eventually.

Its the new range king for EV's achieving a brilliant 505miles, compared to the next best Mercedes EQS 450+ range of 422miles.

i7 is the second luxury EV, but it appears to be the first real one, lol. Unless 0-100 km/h matters a lot to a buyer.

As the designs manage to deceive, as I understand it is the length of the Mercedes E class, but it appears to be much longer, like the S or the 7, it will be because it is short in height

A number of tasks at hand to address and correct. But hey, this is not unexpected. Still, they'll have to tread diligently-quickly.

A few thoughts on the Lucid from watching the Edmonds video:

Positive points:

• Sleek styling with excellent aerodynamics
• Spacious interior (E-class size with S-class interior space)
• Large boot and frunk space
• New benchmark for electric range - over 800km (500miles)
• Powerful, smooth electric powertrain with neck snapping acceleration
• Good Ride comfort over most surfaces but not class leading

Negative points:

• Build and material quality not up to German standards
• Large panel gaps inside interior
• Some functions on infotainment system not working properly
• Questionable electronics for controlling doors etc.
• Low grip on certain tyres affects dynamics
• Choice of tyres effects range and performance

I like the styling and powertrain as well as the practicality and space, but the build quality and materials used inside the cabin don't appear to be worthy for the high price.

Indeed, that review is not exactly "glowing". There's obviously quite a bit of work to be done. However, I am confident that Lucid will address this criticism in a timely manner. And when the bugs, niggles and lackadaisical elements of fit and finish are ironed out, this will be an immensely desirable automobile. Design (inside and out), packaging and performance are very convincing.

Good summary, I disagree with the trunk size... it doesn't seem to be anything big or practical, he puts a small bag that barely fits, and carrying a heavy suitcase in the frunk is still the strangest thing if you are aware of basic physics
