This feat of electric car engineering definitely gives credence to the car's moniker "Air" because it performs as if it were as light as air. The benefit of this along with other engineer innovations spearheaded by Rawlinson is that the big and heavy-looking Lucid Air is astonishingly capable of achieving a 4 mile kWh rating which is the same kind of energy efficiency you get from tiny and light EVs such as the Nissan Leaf. The Lucid Air, on the other hand, will hit the ground with over 900V. The Porsche Taycan is the highest voltage electric car on the market today with 800V. For comparison, the Tesla Model 3 runs on 375V. He’s a man on a mission to take the hardware essential to an electric vehicle and make it smaller, lighter, cheaper, and smarter. Another way he is trying to achieve this goal in the Lucid Air is through super high voltage.
Rawlinson as he put it, is obsessed with the miniaturization of the electric powertrain. Was he able to trap lightning in a bottle for the second time? I think he did.Īlso revolutionary in the Lucid Air, is the engineering under the hood. So it's not a surprise that with his new electric vehicle creation - the Lucid Air, he is aiming to improve upon his previous efforts and once again raise the bar for the electric vehicle as he did previously. Before taking the reins at Lucid Motors, Rawlinson was actually chief engineer at Tesla Motors and was chiefly responsible for bringing the Model S to market, which quickly became the electric car that changed everything and made history. This is all largely thanks to Lucid Motors CEO/CTO, Peter Rawlinson. Over the last five, years, California EV startup Lucid Motors has shown its willingness to go against the grain and demonstrate a tremendous drive to solve the biggest problems in electric vehicles with a forward-thinking approach. However, there are a few exceptions to the rule and the Lucid Air is one such exception. They are just imitating what has been done before (and arguably very well done) by Tesla. Too many car brands are playing it safe with electric cars right now and not taking any, risks by trying new things that have not yet been done by Tesla. My point is that every OEM at the moment is flattering Tesla with imitation and that’s not a good thing because if you’re copying Tesla, you’re not thinking for yourself and you’re missing parts of the market that Tesla has failed to or is yet to address. Also when you take into consideration the rumors that Apple plans on releasing an electric car in the near future, the similarities between both companies is quite striking. From its vehicles and their unprecedented of reservation numbers, to the random products released and touted on Twitter by Elon Musk such as the Boring Company Flamethrower and the Tesla S3XY short shorts, Tesla products elicit fanboy adoration across the globe as over 68 million adoring fans wait on every word of a possible new product release from Musk through his Twitter feed. Everything Tesla and Elon Musk put to market have seen a feverish rush to purchase from customers. Just like with Apple, Tesla has a halo around its products. Tesla is one of the most influential car brands in the world and has proven it's worth time and time again as is evident in its recent stock price's meteoric rise which effectively made Tesla the most valuable car company in history. However, in order to effectively evaluate the Lucid Air, we need to first talk a little bit about the OG electric sedan on the block - the Tesla Model S. So today we are going to be diving into what the hype is all about with the Lucid Air and is it warranted. Unless you've been living under a rock for the past year, you probably have heard about Lucid Motors and the Lucid Air electric luxury sedan which should hopefully be hitting the market within the next 12 months.
