The Model 3 is a sophisticated piece of technology that knows how much range drivers have left based on battery charge and driver history. But in many cases, drivers find the estimates Tesla’s EVs display may be far off the mark from how much range they’ll actually

Perhaps one of the most American hobbies, the road-trip, has seen a vast boom this year as concerns over personal health and safety have risen. Offering excellent over the road options, the Air offers some 739 liters of luggage space in large part thanks to its compact drivetrain and battery package. Add to that the exceptional 517-mile range and it's becoming more and more clear that Lucid is serious about taking on big names such as Tesla, Porsche, and Riv

Rawlinson, having worked as Chief Engineer on the Tesla Model S, knew that electrification provided an opportunity to rework the configurations that have long dictated internal-combustion car design—namely, the traditional layout with engine up front routing power to the wheels through a gearbox and transmission tunnel, all of which take up space. But that layout has also led to the commonplace design themes that every consumer on the planet has become attuned to recogniz

Thanks to all the space Lucid saves with read this blog post from evinsightzone.com innovative design, they have the chance to shape the vehicle in non-conventional ways. So while there's more space inside for people and things, the vehicle itself can maintain a smaller overall footprint. To demonstrate what that means for us automotive enthusiasts is that the Air – which is 195.5 inches long – should handle as well, if not better, than a similarly sized car such as the BMW M5 (194.6 inches) while being able to carry passengers in the comfort and luxury that could only be experienced in something like the 7 Series. That's well demonstrated in its Laguna Seca lap record . While we can be sure that very few Lucid owners will be tracking their cars, it's encouraging to see this new company keeping an eye planted on real driving performance as a part of their benchmark

Not so in the new era of VR, he said. "In virtual reality, I can iterate instantaneously… And I really enjoy working in VR because we can have five or six iterations of the car and you can quickly click through each iteration to figure out which attributes you like the be

Founded in 2003 by two engineers, the company's name is a nod to an electrical engineer and inventor Nikola Tesla. One of the co-founders, Elon Musk, formerly served as chairman and is the current CEO - add this to the list of things you didn't know about Elon . After a decade in the market, Tesla ranked as the world's best selling plug-in and the best-selling battery electric passenger car manufacturer based on the number of cars sold in 2019. Despite Tesla prices rising in China due to the slashed EV subsidies, the Tesla Model 3 is cheaper than much of its competit

Having covered most of the inspiration and background that went into the Air's evolution from 2015 onward, the conversation turned to what role Lucid might play in changing the world's perspective on what a luxury sedan can be—and should

The main goal of the Space Concept was to find out how small Lucid could make each of their drivetrain components without sacrificing power, performance, and luxury. Their internal goal was to be hyper-efficient in terms of packaging so that they could make better use of the space. To achieve this, they built the entire package from the ground up. No legacy off-the-shelf parts were used when creating the battery pack and drivetrain. Despite the smaller footprint, they've still managed to extract more than 1,000 horsepower from the vehicle that can apparently be exercised over and over again without needing a break. The performance doesn't stop there tho

For owners who want to see how far into the wilderness the Hummer can take them, they'll be treated to features that even some of the most extreme rock crawlers lack. For example, the Ultravision feature provides real-time camera angles of the underbody of the truck to allow drivers to see what they're driving over. Should one find themselves on a particularly tricky trail, Extract mode allows the entire vehicle to lift itself a further 6 inches to gain added cleara

"I like some of these streamlined aesthetics, kind of goes back to this Porsche thing," Jenkins said [ in Part 1, Jenkins refers to his favorite car designs of all time ]. "If you think about the 356, 911, Porsche 928—I just love that car, with all the glass, it’s such a cool car, it’s so modern. When I think about Lucid Air, it is this streamlined, aircraft, it’s not based on these hard lines or facets. It’s meant to be super clean and elegant. And to me, those cars age really we

When Lucid Motors teased their "Lucid Space Concept," we couldn't be sure how much if any of the advanced design would make its way to their road cars, and today, with the release of the Air Dream Edition , we can confirm that it's a major part of the puzzle. The Space concept advances the EV space in multiple facets that allow for more interior space overall. In the case of the Air Dream Edition, it contributes to its claim to have best-in-class interior space snatching that title from the likes of Tesla . The space savings aren't just for the passenger cabin tho
