This is the first time when I read someone being proud of his work, I think, so my mind derailed, looking for an answer I possibly searched/hoped to find someday - a method to prove the inoculated hate you (all) grew up with, since the '50s. Can you do a comparison without knowing the second term or the intensity of it? For example, could one possibly compare the first love with the actual one? S/he can, if s/he knows the intensity. Now, you have to lived some years to feel the difference from a product made in/out of your country or by you/with the help of others and a product made by one nation, within its borders. It is the same, yet it's not, yet it is the same, although it isn't. The product may be 100% identical, but the satisfaction you worked for your country, inside of it is Beyond any money will try -and most likely will succeed- to buy the synthetic needs the corporations of that country will bombard into oblivion with commercials the poor souls, who will eventually be wrapped by monotony, but finding comfort only if the bank account gets fatter.

On your point about decoupling various aspects of different driving modes, it would increase the customizability of the car, but it could also lead to some dangerous combinations. For example, what if the softer suspension can't handle the steeper power curve and it results in an incredibly unstable mode? Regardless of if any dangerous combos actually exist or not, Lucid would still have to prove it and in the process have a much more difficult time getting the car certified, likely driving up the cost further.

Lucid starting out with only high end trims is a good thing as it allows them to slowly ramp up production (the hardest part of launching a car), allowing them to be a little more slow and learn how to improve the process. It maximizes profit and cash input for the volume, and if there is an issue that pops in the realm of recalls, it minimizes the scope. It is absolutely the right call to do it like that

The lower touchscreen on the Lucid Air actually has more features than the top display (Seat adjustment, customization, etcetera). Marques, one mistake that I should correct you on is that the Lucid does indeed support Apple CarPlay wirelessly or by using USB-C, including Android Auto. In terms of range, HP and reliability, I would take this over the Model S anytime. The Air is very luxurious and now other EVs are coming by. Great review!

Fantastic presentation, Marques, thank you. The Tesla S seems ancient now, be it by Detroit's annual model changes of yore, or even the four or at most five-year lifecycle product overhaul. Interesting how you feel that it is a car that you would like to either drive or be driven in. My perception of the executive-type rear seats is that such a design would be a bigger selling point in Asia and the Middle East where drivers are more common than here. Survival of the fitest.

I just like to say one thing about the drive modes/personalities @Marques, the presets are provided "because" it isn't a good idea to mix and match all the features we like from each preset to make a custom mode when it comes to vehicle modes. for example what you like, a sprint style acceleration with softer suspension, would cause the vehicle to become unstable due to the sprung mass bouncing about. Couple that with high acceleration and arguably, a propensity drive fast if you like zippy acceleration, you'd be risking loss of control/weaving. another thing is at higher acceleration, the G-loads are higher on the suspension and a softer one would have less damping and thus would risk bottoming out. do this in the long run and your shocks would need replacing sooner than expected. I'd argue that having unstable drive characteristics and needing to replace major components sooner in the life cycle as bigger No-Nos in a premium car of such price tag, than the ability to fiddle with drive modes. because a lay person cannot be expected to know the good balance of acceleration, Regen, suspension stiffness, ride height, etc from the get go. Thus, a person can choose if they want to cruise, or sprint and the vehicle takes care of the rest.

The BEV market is much bigger than the supply. All these cars like Lucid are really in competition with ICEVs, not Tesla. I think the reason they try to outmatch Tesla is to show competence and to make sure they have demand. It's near impossible to outmatch an established manufacturer's pricing and your best bet is to provide exclusive features and then up the price enough to (roughly) pay for your lacking manufacturing efficiency.

Tesla also started on the high end before adding the 'economical' Model 3. I think it sets the tone of the brand, allows you to economically bring certain features across over time and perhaps helps pay for the development of the cheaper models (Elon's rationale for the that strategy). Glad to seeing some additional quality competition in this space.

MKBHD, you're spot-on about the look of the back, I 100% agree. From front-to-back, 3/4 of the car looks great, but the back is very awkward. It's almost like two different people designed the front and back, that speak different design languages. The Model S looks much better all the way through and has a cohesive look from frunk to trunk.

In general just due to the nature of how they’re designed (with max aerodynamic efficiency a priority which greatly increases range), EVs end up looking very low, rounded, jelly beanish etc. That said they also end up with a love it or hate it design. Many true car enthusiast think Tesla’s are ugly, as well as this car and even the soon to be released in USA Ioniq 6. I personally think this Lucid Air has a very neat “boss like” commanding presence on the road! I first saw one last summer while riding my E-Bike on the Belt pky bike trails. It was a neck snap reaction, and I was like WOW what is that? It had a very big commanding presence without being gaudy or gimmicky like so many modern vehicles. I then had to find out what it was so I pull over and googled EVs sedans 2022 and it wasn’t long before I saw an image of that sedan. I said to myself “oh ok Lucid Air. Very cool I’ll have to further investigate it later”. I did only to find its way out of my price range sadly! Summary I find it an attractive vehicle as well as the Ioniq 6. Is it an instant classic like the 1963-5 Riviera or 1969-71 Continental Mark lll ? Def Not. Those cars have a design that will never be again and are from an era of design over function. But in a strange way I think the Lucid Air is similar in that it’s a large car with a very commanding presence. The only bad thing is I wish I could afford one! Lol

I'm following your channels since years, and every time I see your content, I'm proud and very thankful for the work you are doing. Keep the good work and bless us constantly of your perception of the world we are living in 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

It still wows me that Lucid didn’t fall between the cracks right out of gate, unlike so many other EV start ups (well, they almost did, but they were saved) - and the Air is a perfect demonstration of the fact that their success so far means they’re doing something right. Will they hold out? I don’t know - it’s hard to say at this point, but with a company with this much potential, I would hope they stand the test of time.

Up to the point they turn a profit the only real accomplishment is attracting investors. If you can't you die. Not saying design and engineering are unimportant as they are part of what attracts first investors then buyers. But nothing you have done matters if the company folds for lack of money. I hope they do well to. We need more competition.

Love the looks of the Lucid..but I'm also a 45 year old dude that likes Lincoln and Buick cars..and miss sedans vs all of the crossovers and SUVs now. Perfect.

Loved the alliteration! 😂

Thank you for the high quality video doing Lucid justice, both pros and cons.

5:44 wow! for a huge mkbhd fan & to a swiftie that was special

Finally seen a lucid air on the road in Atlanta yesterday headed to work omg

Super nice video review!! Thank you.

This is the best auto focus format yet. Real driving impressions truly grounds the whole review. Big thumbs up.

Really amazing you started this channel 14 years ago and still running the channel you deserve views in billions.

You know, as much as I love the new Auto Focus channel, I really miss these videos because of that sick videography. Damn.

The intro is great!

the intro is amazing. awesome as always, keep up the good work.✌

I really like the look from the front, but the interior and rear of the car I struggle with. I much prefer the minimalism + yoke interior of your Model S.

Great video.. The rear seats(2017 model) are somewhere I’d be getting some shut eye on the regular

Loving the car reviews man. You’re killing it. Grateful to have found your content. Are you going to do another real world range test with all of these new EVs and updated Teslas??

Brilliant presentation ! !!

It would be cool if there was the three defaults (smooth, swift and sprint) and then a custom mode with user defined settings (within reason)

I drove a Crown Victoria from Denver to St Louis a few weeks ago. Mixing speed with a soft suspension is a bad idea. Changing lanes at 80 or 85 mph was unsettlingly wobbly.

I agree with opinions on the exterior design. Love the look of that front though. And Tesla should of been had that 360° view with all the cameras being used. Thank you and the production team for the video.

God, I personally love the design so much, I think it's a truly classy, gorgeous look.

the intro is sick! and btw youtube should have a best intro award every month and this month that would definetely go to the mkbhd team .

These car reviews give me the satisfaction I need

that was the best intro that ı've senn for a long time

This is a great video, thank you Marques. The intro was amazing.

I actually worked at a place where one of the customers owns one. Saw it for the first time about 3 Months ago already. I really dig the looks of the Lucid.

Very good review. Saw that car on the Highway the other day and wonder what it was. Thanks.

From afar, I thought It was a Honda Accord. But the closer it got, the better it looked and I can say it looks Classy. I had to go to their showroom to see it in person.

that intro though... the production quality is getting better and better with each video, well done!

THE OPENING FRONT IS SO COOL

When I buy my first EV, it will DEFINITELY have buttons (and hopefully come with lower profile tires). Great revealing review!
