It requires a much electricity to charge its batteries as would be needed by 4 Tesla’s or a dozen Nissan Leaf’s.

All that electricity going into ONE vehicle is electricity that can’t be used in other things - meaning that even more carbon must be put into the air to make more electricity for the other things that need it (70% of our electricity comes from fossil fuel).

There is absolutely NOTHING green about vehicles like this.

Is this true or did you just make it up?

The top of the line Lucid EV will have a 113kWh battery pack. There are not any 30kWh battery pack Teslas remaining on the road. I am not as familiar with the Leaf specs, but if I were to guess I would believe that the Leaf capacities must be around 60kWh by now, so about half of the Lucid's.

I am all about being clear about environmental arguments if you are making a green argument with EV's but you have to base your argument in reality and not just make up sound bite data which you treat as fact.

Lucid seems like an interesting vehicle. I am all about competition in this field. Whatever spurs Tesla and the Legacy manufacturers to evolve is great. The market can handle another player.

Electricity isn’t just about storage capacity- it’s about the amount of watt/hr per unit of work done. There is no massaging the numbers to try and make this thing look anything but what it is. A wasteful, massively inefficient toy for rich people.

Wow, you are in over your head talking about things you have no idea about. No problem, that is what DCUM is all about, but people should know that your data and math is completely inaccurate.

I am not a big believer in EV are clean, I drive one because it is simply a better car than any ICE, but your statements in this thread are baseless.

Show me - with data - where “I’m over my head”, please. Give me specifics with regards to power consumption and unit of work per watt. Your feelz don’t cut it. Show us the numbers.

This is a standard DCUM tactic. You throw out spurious 'data' and then argue to defend it claiming I need to show you data.

Dude, you cannot back up your assertions that the Lucid requires as much electricity as 4 Tesla's or a dozen Leaf's. You made that up because it sounded good. Again, I am not going to die on the hill defending EV's, but I will say that we should be able to have a data and reason based conversation. Just help us bring the conversation into reality and maybe a potential consumer will be educated and not simply sound bited.

So no data.

Got it.

No dog in this fight but nice trolling

Lucid was suppose to have cars out/sold in Spring 2021 specifically their Dream edition. It’s summer and this company doesn’t have a single car out on the road yet. The store spaces they rented in malls are still “coming soon”.

So until they have cars on the road, it’s still just a concept. No word from Lucid about when they will be delivering cars either.

New review and it is a home run.

Absolutely ridiculous if this review is replicated in the real world.

This type of gushing is reserved for legendary cars like e39 m5 or 993.

Imo lucids are going to take the dc area by storm.

500 mile real world driving without charge is a proper game changer.

That and an interior befitting of the price tag.

Meh.

Epa announced lucid has 500 miles range in a charge.


That’s the highest.

There are lots of concept cars but very few are actually sold to consumers. Until Lucid sells a car and has them on the road, it is just a concept.

Hmmmm I wonder if there was any sort of global event that could have impacted supply chains--especially automotive supply chains--beyond what anyone could have predicted...

Gee, really?!? Every other car company announced they had delivery issues due to supply chain issues. If you are a brand new car company who is holding people’s deposits and they are waiting for delivery, it doesn’t behoove you to announce when they can expect delivery of the cars they have deposits on.

Lucid: * crickets*

Lucid so far has done a bang up job of attracting venture capital, actually making and delivering cars not so much.

It's a boring sedan. I'm sure it's nice inside and has loads of power but.....that's it?

Reminds me of a sedan an old couple would drive to church every Sunday.

You forgot RICH…. You can say the same thing about a Rolls Royce, Mercedes S class, etc. Lucid markets to the same demographics and price range.

The base price for the Lucid Air Dream addition is $170,500.

This is a dumb amount of money to spend on a new car from a company with an unproven track record, even if you can afford it.

Some people just like cars and have a lot of money. Ask the guy who bought the Mclaren F1 for 20 million at the Goodings auction during Monterey car week.

Unproven or not, Lucid will likely go IPO at some point so the market doesn’t care either. Everyone is looking for the next Tesla.
