1000 MILES WITH TWO CHARGING STOPS: LUCID AIR ROAD TRIP FROM CALIFORNIA TO COLORADO

EV Channels Review

The Lucid Air Grand Touring (2025 model year) proves to be an exceptionally comfortable and efficient long-range EV, capable of covering significant distances with minimal charging stops. The reviewer highlights the car's impressive efficiency, particularly on highway speeds, and its plush ride quality, even without air suspension. The spacious interior, massaging seats, and premium sound system (though noted as not amazing) contribute to a luxurious road trip experience. However, the driver assistance system, Lucid Dream Drive, is found to be less refined than competitors like Tesla, lacking consistent lane centering on non-prepped highways and exhibiting sometimes erratic behavior. Navigation and route planning also present areas for improvement, with the system occasionally zooming too aggressively and not always accurately predicting arrival states of charge or optimizing charging stops. Despite these software-related nitpicks, the Lucid Air Grand Touring's core strengths in range, comfort, and efficiency make it a compelling option for long-distance travel.
