LUCID AIR CANNONBALL RUN BEHIND THE SCENES PREP WITH THE OUT OF SPEC TEAM!

EV Channels Review

The Out of Spec team is preparing the Lucid Air for an attempt to break the EV Cannonball Run record. This behind-the-scenes video focuses on the meticulous preparation process, including swapping the original 21-inch wheels for 19-inch wheels with aero covers to optimize for range and efficiency. Key preparations involve ensuring a spare tire fits in the front trunk, carrying a spare 21-inch wheel, and packing essential emergency and repair kits. The team also discusses the unique strategy of using a Polestar 1 as a pace car, leveraging its combustion engine to scout charging stations ahead of the Lucid Air. While the Lucid Air is praised for its potential range and fast-charging capabilities, some team members express reservations about its interior design and perceived cheapness of certain components, particularly the compartment cover and dials. The overall sentiment is that the car is technically impressive on paper, but its real-world performance and the success of the record attempt will heavily depend on charging infrastructure reliability.
