    Blog Lucid Air Makes Debut, Deliveries Planned for Spring 2021

    Elon claimed S Plaid can do under 9s 1/4 mi, there is no video evidence to prove that. The 520 mile range claim is a joke because it is obvious that is a response to Lucid 517 mile. Again, there is no evidence Plaid achieved 520 mile, only Elon's claim. We know how robotaxis and FSD promises...

    Lucid tri-motor?

    SPAC IPO is a backdoor shortcut for those that do not have funding and little or no IPs, eg. Fisker, Nikola, Lordstown, Canoo.... Rivian and Lucid need to resist SPAC funding.

    With final specs revealed anyone putting a deposit on a Lucid?

    Right on @uujjj2... Having skepticism with a company is perfectly ok until they prove themselves. But making a Youtube video to accuse them of fraud without a single bit of evidence is classical clickbait to boost views.

    Lucid tri-motor?

    @BlindPass, @strider it is a waste of time trying to be reasonable and logical with Tesla fanbois. It is perfectly ok to be skeptical about a new company making claims. Even Peter Rawlinson said that Lucid is nothing until they mass produced something. But to make blind accusation that Lucid...

    Model 3 18" Aero wheel snow chains

    The Michelin MXM4 has M+S on the sidewall so that is good enough per California's definition of snow tread tires, though we all know it is not a true snow tire. Under R1 control, you can drive with those tires without chains on but you need to show you are carrying them. Under R2, you must use...

    Model 3 18" Aero wheel snow chains

    No snowflake symbol needed. See below. Copied from Chain Controls 1 Snow-tread Tires: The California Vehicle Code, Section 558 defines a snow-tread tire as follows, "A 'Snow-tread tire' is a tire which has a relatively deep and aggressive tread pattern compared with conventional passenger...

    Lucid Air base price $52500

    The rear seats you saw are the reclining Executive seats that eat into trunk space. There is a base bench seat version with deep trunk. I can assure you that it is bigger and deeper than Model 3. The Air is not as practical as the Model S hatch big opening.

    Lucid (Atieva) reveal is December 14th. I'll be there, let you know afterwards.

    Designing a crash structure that can manage energy effectively to minimize injury to passengers goes far beyong Engineering 101. Advancement in material science, processes and joining methods has allowed smaller structure to control deceleration very effectively. Advance CAE tools like ANSYS...

    Lucid (Atieva) reveal is December 14th. I'll be there, let you know afterwards.

    You don't have evidence that cab forward design will likely cause more injury. Also, I never said cab forward design is new, just that Lucid is using it. You obviously have not seen the Air in person and you don't know much about it. There are two structures, one for bench seat and another for...

    Lucid (Atieva) reveal is December 14th. I'll be there, let you know afterwards.

    Of course they did not break any law of physics. If you watch their presentation, they explained very clearly how they did it. First by having a cab forward design. They push the dash and front occupants forward to create more room for the rear. Second, they sculpture their battery pack to...

    Lucid (Atieva) reveal is December 14th. I'll be there, let you know afterwards.

    Thanks Dennis for the pics. The rear legroom is HUGE! My understanding is the Air is a slightly smaller car than the Model S on the outside but is much bigger inside. It puts the Model S to shame. Somehow the Lucid folks are able to carve out more interior space from a smaller package. Perhaps...

    Lucid(formerly Atieva) was founded in 2007 as a battery company. They supply battery packs to fleet vehicles in Asia. Also, they are the sole supplier of batteries to Formula E. I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that their tech is inferior.
