Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video:The 2025 Lucid Air is a premium luxury EV with incredible build quality; many news outlets have given it raving reviews. The car has color options that are a little bland, and there aren't as many options as in Porsches. In terms of wheels, there are four options, including 19", 20", and two 21" wheels; 19" are recommended because of potholes.
The car features a skateboard platform with lithium-ion battery cells along the floor for even weight distribution and dual motor locations on both axles. The front has ample storage capacity, featuring a folding table to allow additional storage. The rear opens from corner to corner and also has a folding table for additional floor storage. The rear seats also fold down for additional storage, and the door opens at 90 degrees.
Traditional layout of electric vehicles is apparent in this particular car. There is a prindle setup with the column shifter, which is similar to what you would see in a Rivian, Tesla, or even a Mercedes, although a bit more refined. It also features Apple Carplay!
Everything is built to a higher standard of excellence, with investors from China, Saudi Arabia, and America through BlackRock Corporation putting money into this car. The build quality is a cut above Tesla, Mercedes, and dare say Porsche.
Sprint mode is insane, and acceleration is bananas. This is likely the same team that did leather stitching for Aston Martin and Bentley. Lucid supplies powertrains to Aston Martin, using lithium-ion powertrain technology, so you're effectively driving Aston Martin Technology.
The vehicle ranges from 430 to 1200 horsepower and starts at $69,900, but it gets expensive with options. The test car has about 600 horsepower which is sufficient. Visibility is excellent. The car has a regenerative braking system with just a release of the gas pedal. So good so far!
