      This is the first time when I read someone being proud of his work, I think, so my mind derailed, looking for an answer I possibly searched/hoped to find someday - a method to prove the inoculated hate you (all) grew up with, since the '50s.
      Can you do a comparison without knowing the second term or the intensity of it? For example, could one possibly compare the first love with the actual one? S/he can, if s/he knows the intensity.
      Now, you have to lived some years to feel the difference from a product made in/out of your country or by you/with the help of others and a product made by one nation, within its borders.
      It is the same, yet it's not, yet it is the same, although it isn't. The product may be 100% identical, but the satisfaction you worked for your country, inside of it is Beyond any money will try -and most likely will succeed- to buy the synthetic needs the corporations of that country will bombard into oblivion with commercials the poor souls, who will eventually be wrapped by monotony, but finding comfort only if the bank account gets fatter.
      The satisfactionS will N.Ever be the same, to conclude what Engels was describing and the genius of Lenin promoted.

    On your point about decoupling various aspects of different driving modes, it would increase the customizability of the car, but it could also lead to some dangerous combinations. For example, what if the softer suspension can't handle the steeper power curve and it results in an incredibly unstable mode? Regardless of if any dangerous combos actually exist or not, Lucid would still have to prove it and in the process have a much more difficult time getting the car certified, likely driving up the cost further.

      @@Daniel-dj7fh That’s a pretty bold claim when in all honesty I don’t see the need to make all of these controls touch exclusive. This ain’t the same thing as gesture unlocking your phone. This is essentially switching out your physical keyboard with a touch screen one.
      Yes, it’s usable, but there is a reason laptops still ship with keyboards instead of second screens and tablets tend to have keyboard attachments. Tactile feedback in tasks that are so brain dead repetitive that it becomes muscle memory is nice and making the HVAC controls touch only is just being tech for the sake of it without considering practicality, which is Musk’s entire ethos as a human being.

      *God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.*
      As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him.
      Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding.

      Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals!
      The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil.
      I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God!
      Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.

    Lucid starting out with only high end trims is a good thing as it allows them to slowly ramp up production (the hardest part of launching a car), allowing them to be a little more slow and learn how to improve the process.

    In general just due to the nature of how they’re designed (with max aerodynamic efficiency a priority which greatly increases range), EVs end up looking very low, rounded, jelly beanish etc. That said they also end up with a love it or hate it design. Many true car enthusiast think Tesla’s are ugly, as well as this car and even the soon to be released in USA Ioniq 6. I personally think this Lucid Air has a very neat “boss like” commanding presence on the road! I first saw one last summer while riding my E-Bike on the Belt pky bike trails. It was a neck snap reaction, and I was like WOW what is that? It had a very big commanding presence without being gaudy or gimmicky like so many modern vehicles. I then had to find out what it was so I pull over and googled EVs sedans 2022 and it wasn’t long before I saw an image of that sedan. I said to myself “oh ok Lucid Air. Very cool I’ll have to further investigate it later”. I did only to find its way out of my price range sadly! Summary I find it an attractive vehicle as well as the Ioniq 6. Is it an instant classic like the 1963-5 Riviera or 1969-71 Continental Mark lll ? Def Not. Those cars have a design that will never be again and are from an era of design over function. But in a strange way I think the Lucid Air is similar in that it’s a large car with a very commanding presence. The only bad thing is I wish I could afford one! Lol

    MKBHD, you're spot-on about the look of the back, I 100% agree. From front-to-back, 3/4 of the car looks great, but the back is very awkward.

The Model S looks much better all the way through and has a cohesive look from frunk to trunk.

Will they hold out? I don’t know - it’s hard to say at this point, but with a company with this much potential, I would hope they stand the test of time.

      The BEV market is much bigger than the supply. All these cars like Lucid are really in competition with ICEVs, not Tesla. I think the reason they try to outmatch Tesla is to show competence and to make sure they have demand. It's near impossible to outmatch an established manufacturer's pricing and your best bet is to provide exclusive features and then up the price enough to (roughly) pay for your lacking manufacturing efficiency.

The car’s back camera was dizzling and gone while parking and also the horn started to work suddenly. He stopped the car and we got out ..Waited and he restarted the car after a while to drive again;( this is a new company and have still long way to go to reach Tesla’s software quality&stability.

Interesting how you feel that it is a car that you would like to either drive or be driven in. My perception of the executive-type rear seats is that such a design would be a bigger selling point in Asia and the Middle East where drivers are more common than here. Survival of the fitest.

    Tesla also started on the high end before adding the 'economical' Model 3.

  • @MrAbhiabhi7
    @MrAbhiabhi7 Před rokem

    I just like to say one thing about the drive modes/personalities @Marques, the presets are provided "because" it isn't a good idea to mix and match all the features we like from each preset to make a custom mode when it comes to vehicle modes. for example what you like, a sprint style acceleration with softer suspension, would cause the vehicle to become unstable due to the sprung mass bouncing about. Couple that with high acceleration and arguably, a propensity drive fast if you like zippy acceleration, you'd be risking loss of control/weaving. another thing is at higher acceleration, the G-loads are higher on the suspension and a softer one would have less damping and thus would risk bottoming out. do this in the long run and your shocks would need replacing sooner than expected. I'd argue that having unstable drive characteristics and needing to replace major components sooner in the life cycle as bigger No-Nos in a premium car of such price tag, than the ability to fiddle with drive modes. because a lay person cannot be expected to know the good balance of acceleration, Regen, suspension stiffness, ride height, etc from the get go. Thus, a person can choose if they want to cruise, or sprint and the vehicle takes care of the rest.

    I love the way the car looks. That’s until I see the back which is why I agree with your criticism of it. Overall a beautiful car but insanely expensive

    I really like the look from the front, but the interior and rear of the car I struggle with. I much prefer the minimalism + yoke interior of your Model S.
