Driving my Lucid Air GT for 2 years now and I'm still in love. I can't walk away from it without turning back to look. As easy as it is on the eyes (much better in person than in photos) the best feature is still that drive experience. Having experienced real automotive engineers doing the suspension and power delivery design and tuning really shows from behind the wheel. With enormous torque, the car feels mor like a luxury V-12 than a drag-strip specialist. Sure, it has a launch mode, which is a good party trick once or twice, but really it is the smooth unending waves of power that can be called up in any mode that is genuinely addictive. Handling is quite positive and confidence building, and a bit more fun on a mountain road with the stability control dialed down a bit. I've gushed long enough. Go out of your way to find and drive one. It's not just another EV. Lucid is doing something truly unique and wonderful.

Design is about tradeoffs and one trick is knowing which tradeoffs to make any why. Design will be opinionated, either way, and people will prefer different things, but a spoon that's shaped like a fork or a square basketball are objectively poor designs. I like this designer's intelligent and mostly sensible approach to interior design. If I had to make dashboard design choices I would not make the same choices as he did, I would prefer a smaller driver's dispay and a larger central display, or example, but I similarly don't like Tesla's approach of no buttons. This interior dashboard isn't perfect, but is certainly a more practical approach than Tesla have made, which seems to me to be a production-cost-cutting design pitched as a minimal design. There is no perfect SUV or car dashboard design for everyone. My choice would be either a small driver display or a driver HUD, with a large central display and then two metal dampened beautiful to use dual-zone (two) dials below the central display that are multi-use, and pressing them would cycle trough various features, allowing the user to quickly cycle through what they wanted and turning the dial to adjust the setting. This approach to me is somehow more physically satisfying and yet more minimal than a row of buttons like Lucid have chosen, and much better than Tesla's no-button approach.

Lucid makes a genuine effort to make the driving experience pleasant and intuitive. While many controls are reached through the intuitive screen interface, anybody can get in and drive. On my Air GT the seats can be adjusted in countless ways by screen, but someone just getting in the car for the first time will find basic analog seat switches in the normal place and working in the normal way. The same is true for all the normal driving controls, but steering wheel and mirrors are screen-only, but easy to adjust without menu-surfing.

Everything was well explained and it all made practical sense to me. The obvious example of this was the physical controls vs. digital controls question and how they chose which got what. It's a shame Lucid is currently marketed towards the luxury segment buyer but it's not hard to understand why it's much easier for a smaller almost boutique brand like Lucid that isn't making hundreds of thousands of cars a year and their manufacturing costs haven't been so refined to target a higher cost to be able to make a profit.

The best analysis I've seen of Lucid's strategy when designing their vehicles described it as basically "Let's package everything as efficiently as possible to provide the greatest amount of cabin and storage space, design the exterior to be as aerodynamic as possible, then make it look both distinctive and timeless with the wiggle room we have left. We are open to legitimately re-engineering any and every aspect of the vehicle that gets in the way of those goals." And that's why the headlights are unique to Lucid, why they re-engineered their heat pumps to make them more compact, why they re-engineered the drive units to make them more compact, and why they also spent so much effort designing their battery configurations and placement. They wanted a usable interior, an aerodynamic undercarriage design, and as much storage space as possible, so everything got designed and re-designed to make everything fit. Thus the Air, their first ever car, has the size of a Mercedes E-class, but the interior space of an S-class, and the storage capacity of an SUV. It's legitimately a marvel of engineering and packaging, plus the design does grow on you quite quickly. I didn't like the aesthetics at first, but now I'm rather fond of it. Looks vaguely retro-futuristic. Plus the interiors look great, at least as nice as they should for the price. I will go ahead and put this out there: I think Lucid has some of the best interior usability designs out there. The smaller steering wheel is still an eminently usable size and actually helps to mitigate the feeling of the power steering being over-boosted and excessively numb since it lowers the length of the lever you have to work with. The two glass d-pad touch inputs on the steering wheel, in conjunction with additional buttons is really about as good as you can hope for in a 'modern' interior aesthetic and provide adequate discrete input options on the steering wheel, particularly compared to Tesla. The screens, particularly the lower screen, are placed quite sensibly for user input and you still get enough physical controls to not be entirely reliant on the screen for every single thing. In short, all of the touch-points, the places where you interact with the car, are thoughtfully designed and follow trends only where it is useful rather than just trying to be cool. I really like their classy interior design choices.

Same here, but I’ve seen three over the past 18mos locally. But I think two of those sightings was the same car twice.

Never trust a guy who says slightly more efficient headlights will improve your range. Sure, maybe about as much as taking a shit before you drive. They're flashlights, dude

I love the look, the amount of room you get and how you can easily fold the seats completely flat! We would loved to own one if it was available as it fits our family better than our Model X. This will be a good competitor to the Model X, good luck.

Who needs a Model X competitor? The X sells only in minuscule numbers.

The Gravity is beautiful imo. It looks way better than the identically shaped Model Y & Model X

At 9:04, you turned left but your right indicator was the one blinking. This is a prototype, but it is a very dangerous thing that should be fixed to avoid having a crash during any of the test drives!

My sense is this company is hanging on by a thread. I live in So. Cal - the Mecca of Tesla - and have seen probably 5 Lucids in the past 6 mo.s. The people who can afford these live here but you rarely see them. The disappointing sales figures cap a tough year for Lucid. The company laid off nearly 20% of its workforce (around 1,300 people), reduced its production targets multiple times and lost its chief financial officer. Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson said on multiple occasions that his startup was struggling to find buyers

Criticism to how the interview questions are phrased: many closed ended questions: Is that because you hate the look of them.... Is there pictures of tigers and leopards... did you think about doing a yoke.... did you try the Tesla product... did you find one of those in Europe... did you think this is interesting... or have you had a go in one... I'm not here to hear your thoughts or how you feel. Let the design lead talk.

The problem comparing Lucid to Tesla is always price The base model will be around $5k more than the base model X and have 200hp less available and less equipment (circa 480hp v 670 hp for the base X), sure power is not everything but unless they bring it under the FTC cap then it will be more like $12,500 more expensive at the base model equivalent. The headline 1000hp+ Sapphire version , will come in around $250,000 with various trim levels at $100k to 150k in between whereas you can get the1020 hp X plaid for a little over $90k. It's a well designed and nice looking car but it's not a X competitor it's in a different price category.
