500 Miles on One Charge?? Move Over Tesla! 2021 Lucid Air Range Test | MotorTrend

MotorTrend's Kim Reynolds took a ride in the brand new 2021 Lucid Air electric car, to see just how far it can go on one charge. The electric car made it 490 miles in one day of driving!

Why didn't they show the dashboard ? I want to see it myself...

[car-lo]

Was that a review?
Or driving Mr. Daisy?

So how many kilowatt hours is this battery? How far would it go at 75 mph on the freeway?

[CreekyGuy]

Never mentioned whether the A/C was on during the drive. How long does re-charge take? What does a new battery pack cost? How often?
Seems pretty great, but there is a whole lot of loose ends to tie up.

I want to see lucid interior not your face in full video 🤔

[BudgetPowerGarage]

Wow. Don't turn the camera around and show anything. Guess we will have to take your word for it. My best part was we all had some drinks. Cool.

This car has been a prototype for 10 years it feels like

September 9 all of your questions will be answered! And for a car that will do well over 200 miles per... Consider me absolutely impressed! Video was not the best but I am super excited to sit behind the wheel of the Air!

So, you did not go 500 miles. Your video ended at 450 miles. What's another 50 miles after doing 450 so that your title would be accurate.

How long would it take to charge it up though??

[thursdayblack]

At 57 seconds you can see the clock tick over from 12:30 to 12:31. And it's not monospaced...

With that range you can drive all day, stop at a hotel with a charging station, charge for the night and drive all day again, repeat.

How much? Is it comparable to the long range model X? No good if it’s twice the price.

[Stonr]

What is the range for a spirited driver?

[omniultima]

Such thing as supercharger for this particular car?

[KnightofFavonius]

Motortrend: let's do a range test video of a preproduction car and compare it with another car that you can actually buy.
Also Motortrend: Let's show a guy in a mask sitting in backseat while we do that.

I heard no mention of the Air having impressive acceleration, unlike almost all of the Tesla reviews.

[danbelainsky]

So them, based on battery size ... 30% larger than the Tesla Model S ... the Tesla Model S would go 520Miles right?

[fatbroadshorsefacedlesbian]

Probably used a Huge battery pack which does not speak to its efficiency. Yet to see one of these or any Lucid on the road. No mention of elevation, slope or use of AC? What about performance, 0-60, qtr mile? This " test" told me nothing.

[knutube]

And at the end of the video... you never mentioned where the Tesla model s ended?
