Leasing may become a more popular option for those seeking high-end luxury EVs as an unintended side effect of the Inflation Reduction Act.

We spent a week with the 2022 Lucid Air Grand Touring to check in with its updated interface, and it makes the whole car more appealing.

The Panasonic supply headed to Lucid may include cells from Japan and Kansas, and be bound for Lucid's “full vehicle line-up," according to the companies.

Lucid says that the three-row Gravity electric SUV will offer more range than any EV except the Lucid Air.

Further development has also reduced the coefficient of drag (Cd) of new Air models to 0.197, putting the Air ahead of the Tesla Model S and Mercedes EQS.

Lucid said the hardware for bidirectional charging is included as well, and the automaker has said all along that the Air was built with that capability in mind.

An over-the-air update to the electric luxury car spans a wide range of improvements, from headlight operation and de-icing to voice settings for rear climate control.

Bottom line: Lucid claims that its drive units are light, compact, efficient, power-dense, and can be scaled up. And it took going back to the core physics to get there.

The most affordable version of the Lucid Air lineup might be arriving soon, Lucid hinted in a holiday-weekend message.

The tri-motor Air Sapphire could beat the Tesla Model S Plaid in nearly every performance metric. And versus other Airs, it sacrifices no interior or cargo space.

The company did continue to bolster its sales and service network in the quarter, however—something that may put it in a better position once things ramp up.

The fault involves a wiring harness that may not be secured properly in the affected cars—although it affects less than 1% of recalled vehicles.

Lucid has more than 30,000 reservations, and still plans to make 12,000 to 14,000 vehicles at its Arizona plant in 2022.

The deal includes an initial commitment of 50,000 vehicles, with an option to purchase 50,000 more, including the Lucid Air and "other future models."

A tri-motor version of the Lucid Air isn't here yet, and the Dream Edition Performance is sold out. So a new Grand Touring Performance takes the top spot.

Lucid's CEO and CTO Peter Rawlinson teaches the basics on EV batteries while showing off some of the brand's tech.

The Lucid Air gives Tesla some healthy competition, with technology that could bring about extensive change.

The Lucid Air topped 300 kw and came close, in a real-world test, to delivering Lucid's claimed rate of up to 20 miles of range per minute.

Lucid says that it will deliver an undisclosed number of Air Dream Edition electric sedans as part of a rally in California with company executives.

Lucid is betting on lidar as part of a full suite of sensors to be used by its top DreamDrive Pro hardware set for assisted-driving features.
