LUCID AIR: THE LITTLE THINGS ABOUT OUR CAR

EV Channels Review

The Lucid Air Grand Touring, a 2022 model in Quantum Gray, is praised for its stunning exterior styling and exceptionally high-quality, luxurious interior, featuring premium materials like Alcantara and wool. The spacious cabin, comfortable massaging seats, and clear, large displays with easily readable fonts are significant highlights. However, the review points out several 'little things' that detract from the experience. The charge port door mechanism is frustratingly inconsistent, and the driver assistance systems, while generally good, require more driver input for lane changes and can sometimes disengage unexpectedly on sharp turns, with a lack of clear indicators. The range, while advertised at 516 miles with 19-inch wheels, is noted to be significantly less in real-world driving with 21-inch wheels, achieving around 2.9 miles per kWh on the road trip. Road noise is also a concern, particularly with the larger wheels and glass roof. Despite these drawbacks, the reviewer commends Lucid's customer service and the continuous software improvements, suggesting the build quality surpasses even a Tesla Model S.
