Fastest Cars We EVER Tested - INSANE Lucid Air Sapphire vs Tesla Plaid 1/2 Mile Drag Race | 2200+ HP

In addition, we did full instrumented testing on both cars, measuring their 0-60, 0-100, 1/4 mile and 1/2 mile times. We also did 60-0 braking tests, before taking the Tesla and the Lucid out on to the streets, to find out if either of these neutron-powered rocketships are actually any good to drive.

I been working as a Lucid Repair Technician and I can say I love building and seeing these cars more and more on the strip and road

[DragTimes]

come on, put the Plaid in TRACK MODE and the top speed increases to 173 who does these races not knowing the details....

[MrDede]

That half mile trap speed is crazy for both

[mrb]

I am all for Lucid, I hope they keep making wonderful cars.

[mattmopar]

2 of the fastest production cars made are both made in the USA

“Decimate the Plaid”is not something I’m used to hearing. Congrats Lucid 🥂

Driving my Air GT for almost 2 years now I've never felt 'slow' with its mere 819hp, but still I am trying to justify a Sapphire to myself.

[nicoj]

Still waiting for Sapphire vs Rimac Nevera

[kylestewart]

A 5 seater luxury sedan thats beautiful. Drives amazing. AND Runs a 9.0 sec qtr mile. ITS WORTH EVERY PENNEY.

LucidAir Sapphire is the KING of EV‘s 🏆🏆🏆

[tornatic]

Love the Lucid but its a huge price difference compared to a Plaid. I picked up a used '21 Plaid for 68 K a couple months ago

This video was shadow-suppressed. There's no way it should have this low of views

[andersoneric]

driven an Air touring Awd and was very impressed. well sorted and a pleasure to drive.

[Aquineas]

I came to the comments to see angry Teslarati. I was not disappointed.

[sanjaymehta]

Even without the track pack, someone should have known you can put the Plaid in track mode, which bumps the limiter to 175.

[Stan]

Make no mistake, the Lucid’s birth is for the records book, based off the time from start to product delivery. You can only imagine what the next generation will be.
The only hurdle I foresee is surviving the market itself, because on paper it’s next level

[LaJuanHughes]

Motor trends doesn't have the connections to someone with a plaid with track pack.

[kenhiett]

Misha and the Model S track pack stomps all over your narrative about the Tesla.

[Dou.]

Reminder that the Tesla Model S Plaid was $129, 000 1/7/22. $135, 990 on 6/15/22 and now 2/15/24 is $89, 000! Without Track full FSD. The Yoke is a $1k option
