LIVESTREAM: LUCID AIR ROAD TRIP TO COLORADO

EV Channels Review

This livestream road trip chronicles an extensive journey from California to Colorado in a Lucid Air Grand Touring. The reviewer highlights the car's impressive EPA-estimated range of 516 miles and its comfortable, sophisticated highway cruising capabilities, comparing it favorably to a Model S in ride quality. Initial impressions praise the interior design and the car's substantial road presence, noting it photographs poorly but looks impressive in person. Positives include strong acceleration, a comfortable ride, and quiet NVH levels. However, criticisms emerge regarding the infotainment software, which is noted as needing significant updates, and the absence of advanced driver-assistance features like lane centering, though these are expected in future updates. Build quality concerns are also raised, with mentions of plasticky switchgear and potential panel gap issues, contrasting with the advanced drivetrain technology. The reviewer plans to conduct a full range test to determine real-world mileage.
