Video Summary
Findings from the review:- The car is a 2025 Lucid Air Pure, the most efficient vehicle available today.
- It is the rear-wheel-drive entry-level version of the Lucid Air.
- It is EPA-rated at 420 miles per charge combined, and 408 miles highway, but there’s scepticism of averaging nearly 5 miles per kWh to achieve the highway range.
- An Electrify America charging site is upgrading the chargers.
- The presenter had some difficulty getting the charging completed in order to start his testing.
- As with all Lucid vehicles, the speedometer is slightly fast; the GPS apps are used for reference.
- Highway speeds are good for efficiency.
- This car had an 84 kWh battery pack.
- With the Lucid Air driving on the highway, the test resulted in only 365.6 miles total highway driving while using 83 kWh.
- The reviewer loves driving the Lucid Air on the highway due to the comfortable and quiet cabin. He also likes how Lucid has everything laid out. The tester states that its a great luxury vehicle and says it is priced well.
- The reviewer says the price starts at $69,900.00.
- He prefers driving this over a Tesla Model S, because he likes the driving experience better.
- At zero percent charge, one can no longer open the charge port.
- This has been the hardest range test yet because of the wind and the traffic. The video showed bad stop-and-go traffic and a highway patrol car blocking the road.
- He had to make a number of adjustments to his planned charge and test strategy on-the-fly.
- He hopes that Lucid can remotely fix the port and suggests perhaps if the car sits long enough, the electrical door will open.
- On this test, the EPA rated mileage per kWh did not work out as expected.
