LUCID AIR GRAND TOURING - MY FIRST DAY OWNERSHIP REVIEW

EV Channels Review

Dave takes us through his initial ownership experience with a 2022 Lucid Air Grand Touring, acquired with low mileage. He highlights the exceptional ride quality, luxurious interior, and premium materials, describing the cabin as a "phenomenal place to spend time." The "scooch" feature of the Dream Drive Pro system, which smoothly moves the car to avoid a lane-drifting truck, is singled out as a standout, surpassing other lane-centering systems he's experienced. While efficiency is noted as "pretty good" at 3.5 miles/kWh over 55 miles, he acknowledges it's likely less than a Model 3 due to weight, and further range testing is needed. Minor criticisms include the inconvenient placement of cup holders that obstruct the lower screen and a frustrating charge port door that requires menu access to open. He also notes a slight jolt when the car comes to a stop and when initiating lane changes with Dream Drive Pro, suggesting these could be refined. Despite these small issues, Dave expresses significant satisfaction with the car's comfort, safety features (especially cross-traffic alerts and 360 camera), and overall build quality, feeling "one with the car."
