  • This is the second review of the Lucid Air, we filmed another video over on the Out of Spec Reviews channel with a Grand Touring ( • Lucid Air Paint, Inter... ). Since reviewing that vehicle, Im very curious to see if build quality has improved, stayed the same, or gotten worse.

    3) should be required viewing for Lucid production staff

    Great job Colteton, good to see even those super expensive vehicles also have various issues from factory too (not just Tesla's)! In one of your other video's you said you would be doing a video of 'How2 - Stone Chips', I'd really like to see that, your demo's are awesome! Thank you.

      What do you expect man. It’s nothing different than a shitty Tesla. Giant, ugly iPads on wheels that offer nothing but acceleration as their one trick. Quality is awful and the interiors feel like a $30k Ford or Honda. Shitty, synthetic, ugly interiors that are anything but luxury.

    I love your content. Just for fun, I think it would be neat if you could do a quality assessment on a low priced car....maybe a Mitsubishi Mirage for example? Curious if build quality correlates to price tag, although I think I already know that answer based on the Lucid's results.

    Man, I was hoping the Lucid would have had better build quality. Great video and detail level. One question: You previously commented that the Tesla Model Y in White has more robust paint than some of the other colors. Does that mean that the upgrade paint jobs are generally not as thick or something else? Thanks!

    The heat from the lights is just due to intensity. It is different than efficiency. Bright LED flashlights can start fires. The light gets absorbed by your skin/clothes and turns to heat.
    Anyway. Great video. Crazy to me companies would sell a car for this much with this build quality.

    I love what rivian and lucid are doing and the strides they are making. But scaling production with quality is where things usually fall apart. Same thing happened to tesla. I hope in 2 years when I consider a model 3 replacement they sort through these growing pains. But as of now I wouldn't consider a rivian or lucid over a tesla.

    If I had this kind of money, I would stick with one of the major brands like BMW. Their i7 is very nice and you can probably get a new windshield in a day.

    • @blablah538
      @blablah538 Před měsícem

      Suit yourself, but BMW's EV sedans are lazily designed conversions of ICE cars with literally no frunks, super frustrating controls buried in a mess of menus, and nowhere near the interior space and luxury of Lucid. The i7 is not the Lucid competitor anyways, though the Lucid is just as nice of an interior and is more spacious and agile. The price/size-matched competitor for the Touring is the i5 M60. The i5 interior space is a plastic, claustrophobic joke in comparison. The i5 throttle and brake calibration were also basically rough drafts. You'll be making passengers car sick for the first couple weeks for sure. Driving an i5 for a couple days is seriously what drove me to break the CPO BMW streak and take the Lucid plunge

    The alignment isn’t too big of a deal to many. I personally don’t mind too much as I’ve seen SLS Mercedes with much worse gaps and alignment. Same with Aston Martin and even Bentley. I would say the Lucid is on par. Sure I would like it better, but in general it looks better than my Model S or 3 was. The only concern is the trim that isn’t properly adhered.

    They should've launched with an SUV though.
