How about adjusting the mirrors? Another few swipes and taps on the center screen and you’re there. You’ll need to do that on the Pilot Panel. Want to change where the steering wheel is? Like a Tesla, there’s no button, joystick or lever on the column. Everything else is set using the main screen in the center console - a screen Lucid has dubbed the “Pilot Panel.” It’s a large curved screen that can be stowed into the dash to reveal a small storage cubby, and it serves as the central control system for the Lucid Air.Ĭlimb in and set your seat settings the way you do in any other luxury car using toggles on the seat, but that’s where the comparison to other gasoline-powered vehicles ends.

There are almost no physical buttons in the cabin outside of those used for some basic temperature and fan controls for the driver and passenger and audio controls, plus a few small buttons on the steering wheel to control things like the ADAS system. The main difference between the two is obvious by their names: Range gives you up to 520 EPA-estimated miles, while Performance gives you 1,111 horsepower and can do naught to 60 in under 2.5 seconds. The Air is the first production vehicle that Lucid Motors has created and it comes in two versions, Range (R) and Performance (or P). Dream is the name Lucid has bestowed on the first editions of the Air that they are rolling off the line. The Lucid Air Dream R cars we’re driving and riding in are full-size sedans with five seats and interior space that rivals some midsize SUVs.
Customers and journalists alike mill ahead after completing a nearly three-hour tour through the battery and assembly plant in Casa Grande, Arizona, and it’s clear that what we’re about to test drive needs a little bit of demystifying.

Think of it like a supermarket map that helps you figure out where the windshield wipers are and how to adjust the steering wheel. While the Air hasn’t completely knocked it out of the park on the first go, thanks to a team of automotive veterans, advanced technology and that spider graph sweet spot, the new Lucid Air offers a blend of tremendous range, luxurious fit and finish, and enough technology to keep even the most discerning customers happy. The Lucid Air, a luxury electric vehicle that ranges between $77,400 and $169,000 depending on the variant, has some well-honed spider graphs. Add in design constraints as well as federal and legal guidelines and the bar to creating a successful brand-new vehicle from scratch seems to be an almost impossible task. Spider graphs offer a quick glimpse of how various factors like power, performance, weight and aerodynamics interact with one another.įor the engineer sitting in the passenger seat, spider graphs are top of mind.īalancing the weight of battery packs with power and braking is a delicate science that when tipped too far in any one direction causes total chaos for the consumer.
While cruising along Interstate 8 in the Lucid Air, it didn’t take long for the conversation to turn to spider graphs.
