The Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance is astounding.
It’s the 1000-horsepower buy-in. Since Tesla put up a four-digit Model S, players in the high-end electric luxo-space all need a thundering four-digit flagship. The Lucid Air “Dream Edition” launched with 1111 tasty ponies, but it was on the verge of losing that edge after the last of the limited Dreams were built.
The Air stands in fresh contrast to the aging Tesla Model S. Now in its tenth model year of production, and first seen as a prototype in 2009, the Model S is getting long in the lithium-ion tooth. In California, the Model S is common old fruit. The Lucid Air, in contrast, is rare, ripe, lurid and juicy.
In a demonstration of its launch system set up in the parking lot of San Jose, California’s PayPal Stadium that directional security was apparent. How apparent? Thanks for rhetorically asking. I launched the Lucid beastie with my hands off its steering wheel and watched as it took a ballistic leap down the improvised, maybe a 1/10of a mile strip. It never wandered, never shook or shimmied, and was just as secure under braking. The Plaid is surely slightly quicker, but the GTP is more confident.
Criticisms start with the massive glass roof. As impressive as it looks to have the windshield climb up and continue across the cockpit, on sunny days the cabin heats up fiercely while the Air is parked. Furthermore, the sun comes in when the car is driving and hits the shiny trim piece across the dash. The resulting reflection into the driver’s eyes seems to laser into the skull and etch the back wall of the brain pan.
The steering is always well weighted, the ride always controlled and the brakes feel as if they’re strangling forward motion with merciless efficiency. This is a fun car to drive hard even if it’s not a car that needs to be driven hard to be enjoyed.There are acres of electrons being felled right now to be consumed explaining all the technical intricacies of the Lucid’s batteries. Go read those stories.
