EV Channels Review
The Lucid Air Grand Touring is presented as a triple threat, excelling as a comfortable highway cruiser, a surprisingly capable canyon car, and a long-range EV with rapid charging capabilities. The reviewer highlights the car's impressive handling on twisty roads, noting that even the Grand Touring trim now allows for ESP-off, enabling spirited driving. The chassis, suspension, and steering are praised for their excellent setup, providing a well-controlled experience despite the car's size and weight. The natural motor whine is also appreciated as a performance indicator. However, the review acknowledges the car's large dimensions can make it cumbersome for around-town driving. While the car's dynamic capabilities are lauded, the reviewer suggests it's not a primary performance car, with buyers likely owning a dedicated sports car like a 911 GT3. The video also touches upon the unreliability of charging infrastructure and nascent software as drawbacks.
