Design is the last thing for Lucid to brag about. Canoo has interesting design. Cybertruck is an interesting design. Bet the Apple car is an interesting design, whatever it may be. Even the original Model S with the frunk and the fastback hatch was interesting, at the time. Lucid's design is just a basic 3-box sedan. BORING!!
Lucid Air 0.21cd. Model S 0.24cdHow does the Lucid Air drag coefficient compare to the Model S?
Lucid Air 0.21cd. Model S 0.24cd
Actually, drag coefficient is a bit different. For example a tear drop regardless of its size, has the same drag coefficient. You are probably thinking of Drag Area, which is the product of the drag coefficient and frontal area. In this case a foot less cross section will probably make the Lucid even more efficient by virtue of a smaller frontal area.Yep, being a foot narrower certainly helps.
Is that a third party, wind tunnel verified drag coefficient? Often the Cd that manufacturers provide is very optimistic. Tesla's for the Model S has been verified.Lucid Air 0.21cd. Model S 0.24cd
According to Lucid;Is that a third party, wind tunnel verified drag coefficient? Often the Cd that manufacturers provide is very optimistic. Tesla's for the Model S has been verified.
According to Lucid;
The new industry benchmark was recorded at Windshear’s facility in Concord, North Carolina, which is considered one of the most advanced automotive wind tunnels in the world.
