Yea tesla will have to add an entire extra motor just to compete. Unlike porsche which just improved their 2 motors and its now lighter then both of these and retained a light weight 2 motor setup. Handles way better and it's faster then the plaid. Faster then both around the track. Imagine if porsche only cared about straight line speed. 4 of their motors would be an under 8 sec easily. But they wanna still make it a great all around performance car. Porsche engineering has out done tesla at their own game in a very short amount of time.

It's on another level to the Plaid than just performance. There is much better range, handling, but also drives and has suspension of something like an S Class.

He’s a biggest Tesla fan,,, he won’t get any of the Lucids.
Once Lucid starts to scale and gets the brand recognition it deserves it will be the standard in the EV sector.

I hope they last competition is good! That said the ability to fold the seats and the larger interior space to hold bikes, the charging network, the full self driving... there is just a lot of value a tesla offers.

Yea tesla will have to add an entire extra motor just to compete. Unlike porsche which just improved their 2 motors and its now lighter then both of these and retained a light weight 2 motor setup. Handles way better and it's faster then the plaid. Faster then both around the track. Imagine if porsche only cared about straight line speed. 4 of their motors would be an under 8 sec easily. But they wanna still make it a great all around performance car. Porsche engineering has out done tesla at their own game in a very short amount of time.

Not really... No 250k car is going to become "the standard". The standard EV right know is a Tesla Model Y.

The Sapphire looks much better too, inside out
When Hagerty posted their Sapphire vs Plaid vs Chiron a few months back, I knew the results weren't going to be different.
Remarkable how similar Sapphire and Plaid look side by side. Not surprising the engineers came from Tesla. What is truly remarkable is how much they improved it. If using for anything other than at the drag strip the Plaid would be good enough for me.
by the time u uploaded this video tesla price dropped to 83k 😂😂😂 edit:it dropped to 81.5k and full self driving is now 8k

Looking at what a Plaid now cost, should tell people a lot about how much of a shafting Elon gave his customers. I would be livid if I had bought a Tesla.

Amazing! I'm proud Saudi Arabia has invested in this high tech and luxurious car 👍
Great races! Not gonna lie, I watched the Demon 170 race vs Sapphire maybe 5X at the end of the video. It looked perfect. 😁
The sapphire might be way more expensive but my god is it so much prettier. Interior and exterior, can’t wait to see the cheaper higher production versions of the lucid air (sapphire is their first model and they started with the highest end version of the lucid air)

You tell the car how much power you want it to push over to the receiving unit. You can push 10% out of a car with 30% battery to a car with 80% battery, leaving you with just about 90% and 20%, respectively.

0 - 60 in 1.7 secs for $250K vs 1.9 secs for $88K. That's about 3 times the cost for .2 secs. That's nothing to do with a poor man buying the Plaid; it's more to do with a fool buying the Lucid. 😂

I can respect how fast these rides are but damn it's boring to watch.

Bruh why u even put a 1 next to Tesla. Clearly ur buddy was on his phone and u jumped the gun while he was distracted. If u go 5 out 5 Sapphire wins. 10 out of 10 Sapphire wins again. It don’t matter what u do! LUCID is a BEAST!!!! 💪🏻 🔥

We don't. We just know these two cars aren't even comparable since one costs more than twice as much as the other. I'd be fucking pissed if I bought a lucid for 250k and it couldn't beat a 120k Model S plaid. Also, At least Tesla makes money on their cars and will be around for a long time. Lucid will go bankrupt before they become profitable. "We're faster than a Tesla but can't make money" isn't a viable business plan.

@@themonsterunderyourbed9408 why would you be pissed? People spend way more money than that on cars that don't go as fast. There are other reasons that people buy expensive cars other than 0-60 or quarter mile times. Every G wagon owner, Lucid owner, Rolls Royce owner, Bentley owner, S class owner etc could've purchased multiple Model S' but they chose something with better build quality and a lot more luxury, better ride etc.. If all you care about is quarter mile times then get a 90s Honda Civic with a laptop and smoke every Plaid you see. The logic ain't logical.
Both awesome performances cars! I'd love to drive either one
Spoke with a gentleman with a brand new Plaid Model S at a Supercharger last year, and asked him what he thought of it. He liked it, but was more concerned with kids getting them in a few years on the second hand market. The capability of any modern car vs what we were all driving 20 years ago is pretty eye opening when you think about it.
