This car makes its official debut in five days on 9-9-2020 but the hype train can leave the station.
On paper, the Lucid Air sets new EV standards across the board:
When the Air comes to market next year, it will boast the longest driving range of any electric vehicle, with an estimated EPA-rated range of 517 miles. It will also have the lowest drag coefficient of any production vehicle with a Cd of 0.21. Additionally, as we reported last week the Air will also have class-leading interior space and the largest frunk of any electric vehicle. If that wasn't enough, it will also be the fastest charging EV available. adding 300 miles of range in only 20 minutes.
To sum that up, the Air will: have the longest range of any EV, charge faster than any other EV, have more interior space and a larger frunk than any EV in its class, have the lowest drag coefficient of any car available, and now we find out it will also be the fastest production EV in the world.

Things get even better:
Lucid has developed extremely compact, and ultra-efficient permanent magnet electric motors, creating an electric drive unit that weighs just 163lb (74kg) which Lucid tells us is small enough to fit inside a standard airline carry-on roller bag. Each drive unit delivers over 650hp, and has a power density that is well beyond anything else offered today at 41hp per liter.
Since the drive units are so compact, they allow for up to three of them to be used to power a Lucid Air, meaning we could possibly see a tri-motor setup in the future. Lucid explains that the drive units are 45 percent lighter and up to 59 percent more powerful its closest competitor, which would obviously be Tesla.

What does this car cost? Good question. The Dream Edition is over $100k but how much over $100k only Lucid knows.
Wow. Simply wow.
