LIVESTREAM: LUCID AIR RANGE TEST

EV Channels Review

This livestream details the extensive pre-test preparations and the commencement of a range test for the Lucid Air Grand Touring. The reviewer emphasizes meticulous setup, including car washing, precise tire pressure adjustments to 49 PSI cold (aiming for 52 warm), and full charging. While the EPA rating is 516 miles, the reviewer anticipates a real-world result in the mid-400s, acknowledging that the car is optimized for range with its 19-inch Aero wheels and thin tires. Key takeaways include the car's comfortable ride, quiet operation (though the front motor sound is noted as loud by some), and the absence of lane centering, necessitating manual steering. The reviewer also highlights the car's extensive usable battery capacity with minimal buffer, leading to a slow top-charging process. The test was initiated under ideal conditions: 71°F, no wind, and overcast skies.
