As an engineer working with product development, this was like a 90 minutes motivational video. Let’s go!

I have been watching content on youtube for 2h a day for 10 years, former race car driver and car collector mostly of noisy iCE cars, but this video... Each time the level of craftsmanship, montage, content, and the way it is delivered is always the best there is period. Glad someone is doing this and thanks again, i have created my Patreon account just for you.

For Jack to say this is his favorite 4-door ever is saying something.

These engineers seem like people you'd want to go to the bar with and just have some drinks. Definitely the kind of people that should be building cars like this. Great work as always.

This might be the single best piece of automotive journalism I've seen in the last 5 years. Watching this at least somewhat restores my faith in the entire automobile industry and what the future might bring. Kudos to SG and the entire Lucid Team. Stunning, A+. We thank you.

15 minutes in and I can already tell this is another homerun for savagegeese. Unique content with unmatched technical deep dives paired with a beautiful narrative. People that are consuming this have no idea how much time and effort goes into a production like this. Best automative content on youtube by a landslide. I'll be incredibly sad when Mark and company retire. Cheers.

21 minutes in, and already it's obvious to me that my initial feeling about Lucid was correct. This company needs to succeed.

When I first heard about a 90 minute Savagegeese video, I had mixed feelings. I was worried about lengthy and boring interviews with boring people. But these were _my_ people. They reminded me of numerous start-ups I've worked at in Silicon Valley, where Lucid is also headquartered. I was super engaged by how passionate and thoughtful these interview responses were and greatly appreciate the attention to detail Lucid has paid both in the thoughtful design & engineering of their Saphire Air, but also their processes and methodologies to make not the best electric car they can today, but also set themselves up for success in the future by ensuring tight collaboration of their multiple in-house departments and feedback loops throughout each iteration.

That's not just how you build a great car. That's how you start-up a great company.

Super stoked to see where Lucid is in 5-10 years!

Also, Mark and Jack's enthusiasm in the beginning of the video caught me completely off-guard.

Looking forward to more of these, provided other companies are brave-enough to launch their products in a similarly unique and insightful way for Savagegeese to review!

Dang the laughter of enjoyment from Jack and the fact that Mark actually wants to get one to support Lucid saids it all 👍🏼

Watching this, I'm realizing that the Sapphire is doing for Lucid EXACTLY what it should be. It's making me think, Hm, I should save up for a regular Lucid Air. Absolutely blown away by the engineering brilliance here. I knew Lucid was special, but didn't know it was this special.

This video gives me another reason I’m glad I bought an Air Grand Touring. I’m glad to support these professionals who are pushing the limits of what is possible.

What an incredible deep dive on an incredible car and company. Only wished/hope in the future there is a comparison across the entire Lucid Air lineup, e.g. how much is lost in the $90K Touring vs the Sapphire
