This video was brought to you by Steinberg a better world planner Mr Green Camp power and Marcus Beale Yo what's up we are now in Lucid uh Where which warrant is this again this Is the Grand Touring Grand Touring and I'm going to do my first drive in the Lucid now and you know I have never Tried it before but somehow I managed to Figure out how it works Because everything is uh intuitive like It's supposed to be So the first impression is that I hear a Little bit of motor winding do you guys Do you know this is this is Um Um is it permanent magnet motor Okay so I haven't done all that I Haven't done all my homework but okay Steering wheel feels nice and thick and Okay good good thickness there it could Feel like maybe the steering has been Tuned to be a little bit heavy but I'm Not going to change too much of it right Now since I'm driving the seats can the Seeds get better side support Right now the way it's just now I feel Like I I it's a little bit flat like American flat but I guess we could Adjust it somehow but let me not mess Around with that one you see we have you Know this is like the model X style you Can see if it tilt more up here you can See
The whole like Panorama view here Similar to model X you know we're open Oh We have to get over there yes it's okay I'm barely in time to just got into the Intersection And let me see how is the region wow I Have to say It rides nice and comfortably it should Be right it writes like a like a German Car or something Yeah Air suspension right not in this one not This one It fooled me I thought it had air Suspension Okay but yeah okay still you know All right and then How is it let me see here turn signal Yeah everything is just set up to be What you suppose I mean what you expect It to be like round steering wheel like Uh stocks where they're supposed to be And also it has this Tesla message this Style stock here And then let me get the feel of the Region Um To go a little bit faster and then Yeah nice region Let me adjust the seat a little bit Forward let me see it there so the seat Controls there and the lower here that You're used to
So it's a little bit stressful right now Because I'm actually going to need on to Pick up a Neo Et7 so the Neo et7 is kind of like the Rival here except that it's a little bit Lower price but it's still Like a premium sedan but this one I'm not sure if we should call it Premiums or not or luxuries it's done Because the price is kind of high and I Feel like the materials here Or more than premium yeah but I'll get More impression of this once I try it And take it for a spin and everything to Put banana boxes in there but this is Just like a teaser just to give you guys My first impression of the of the Lucid How it is to drive I actually did not Expect to be able to drive it it was Quite a quite a surprise but yeah Hopefully now we can get over to um To the motorway or at least the Ring Road we get some impression of how it is Okay Wow oh it has almost one pedal drive Well I think it has it because I did not Touch the the brake and it managed to Slow down to a complete stop We can try I guess let me say check here We have no traffic behind us if I try to Slow down This is the way I like it I guess you Could change it can you change the Region settings okay you can okay you
Can you can change the reason settings Um but I I just prefer to have it like It is now uh it's okay oh it's oh you Can set it even higher oh okay let me See because I'm I I like having a strong Region Of course since we are here we have to Try some acceleration let me try Oh okay Yeah as expected okay But actually one thing you know oh that Was not in the Sprint mode Okay good thing we have someone here From Lucid who knows everything uh okay We have to watch out for speed camera Here Okay just uh traffic how is the noise Level we are in a tunnel Oh Wait let's see I try to self-cons Interesting you have the heart I tried to soft press it will not Self-consul Hard press That is interesting I need to actually Go the other way around so I'm doing This typical thing I would do like in a Tesla Model 3 but it doesn't respond Like that but it has this yeah soft it Actually the stocks here reminds me of Tesla Model 3 because you have the you Have the soft one and you have the hard One yeah And then it goes there oh and then you
See the blind spot or there's a side Repeater that pops up when you push the Side and the blinkers So one thing I want to listen to is um We are in a tunnel right now Check something here Oh this Yeah Does it have double glazed window or Acoustic Windows okay it has acoustic Glass and also in the rear or Okay also in the rear all right so it Actually feels relatively quiet Yeah it is actually very quiet in here It should be right And like I said you know the car tricked Me I I thought we had air suspension Because the ride is really nice and Comfortable and it I need to go a little Bit faster I need to go more over bumped But I try to get the feel of how the car Rides over bumps but also uh right now I Haven't really tested out the the auto Steering anything I see there is cruise Control here let me see if I can figure It out how to get it make it work Watch the world okay Um this is distance okay Okay somehow I did not figure it out but Whatever yeah okay let's just focus on Driving So um Let me try again so now that the region Is set to a higher uh level
Yeah it's oh yeah it's wrong now okay we Can set it back to smooth okay Yeah So the pedal Everything feels how they Put this like the stuff that I am in Touch with which is a seat the steering Wheel the stops the pedals they have Good resistance they also well tuned Like I can I can go smooth I can go slow If I floor it you know it just leaps Forward so it has by the way how do you Adjust the steering wheel You have to do it there oh it's like Tesla Style Can you do okay ah all right all right Thank you thank you uh yeah Okay I felt like at the steering wheel Was a little bit too low I needed to see Some of the stuff in here But you know like The stuff you are in touch I mean the Stuff you are uh in contact with feels And reacts nicely So you know When you think about uh premium or Luxury EVS out there in the market today There are some out there like Audi like Porsche uh you know eqs i7 and in a way I feel like this is very similar Experience when it comes to Soundproofing and and just dampening and Everything See uh we're gonna go over here No there's um
Okay one thing that bothers me is the Way the the turn signal has been Programmed because I'm not used to this Because I'm used to the model 3 the way The model 3 works so the one three is That once it's on I soft pressed it that Direction the conflict but here when I Turn right and it's on Then you have to press the other way to Consulate So just a thing you have to get used to And then it shouldn't be that big of a Problem Okay yeah But okay when it comes to consumption Everything then I cannot give you too Much input about it because uh It's just a short drive and then I need To do a proper test eventually But one thing here is that I hear Actually I don't know if you guys can Hear you have this you have this e-tron Style Um uh kind of not high pitch slightly Lower pitch noise from the drivetrain But only at lower speeds around 50 60 Kilometers per hour lower you've heard That like a tram almost like the effect Itron that we are passing right now that One has a similar like howling noise but At higher speeds at least it disappears So that could some people could be Bothered by it But I think it's not really a big
Problem uh I heard some e-tron people Also comment about it but yeah So um Other than that I mean how is it to Operate this car I mean we have Touchscreen curved screen and everything And if I do this I can okay you see I'm Not used to this but eventually I will Learn how to how to do all this uh these Movements these operations to to put Stuff here grab something there and then I just press here to put it back again And then we have a real hair for volume There was some HVAC settings here so There are some buttons here and then This one is a touchscreen you see you Can you can rotate and you can stuff do Stuff here so So but on the way in a way I was actually a little bit surprised That this screen is relatively small I'm used to bigger screen nowadays but Then you have this one here but then you Have uh like car settings and stuff here But uh when I want to see navigation oh Of course I forgot I'm a Noob when you Want to see navigation you can of course Have it here now we have a bigger Navigation here you can also have Navigation here closer to your eyesight Does the Lucid air come with the head-up Display by the way no okay okay so no Ahead of display So that means that if you want to see
Speedometer everything everything needs To be visible here so I will get more Impression of how it is yeah you see now I hear that howling noise again Is that going to bother people But okay let me see Um Okay Go here let's see did I I think I Lowered the cabin temperature a little Bit yeah this is a little bit Counterintuitive to me the whole turn Signal and I can show here that when you Twist on the turn signal you'll see that The repeaters come on and you see this One it seems to be a little bit laggy I Almost feel like the frame rate is a bit Low like 10 15 frames per second it Doesn't seem like it has let's say 25 30 Frames per second but that could Probably be fixed with software anyway Okay So now we're almost at Newton let me see Uh there is some style here okay okay I Need to get into the style All right turn I mean turn signal and Then get over here Now we understand So yeah unfortunately I was not able to Ride the car over bumps on faster Highways see I keep doing this let me Show you again what I what the struggle Is I'm used to doing this this or this To get the consulate but you can't
Constantly you have to go there now you Cancel it but it's just something you Have to train the muscle memory or I Guess Loosely they could make an update And they could you could choose you know A blinker something counseling uh option Or something like that you know yeah for People who just can't get used to it uh But um not only that You know it um What else should I say It in a way you know it's it's Conventional where it's supposed to be Conventional where people where it Matters you know like I keep mentioning Like a steering wheel and stuff like That and even the door handle you know I Have never I have never sat in the car before and I Have actually maybe on purpose not Watched too many Lucid videos and then I Figured out how to open the door there's There's not the traditional door handle But you kind of you have it here I'm not Gonna do it now while I'm driving so Yeah and the car at least feels nice but By the end of the day we have to see is It efficient How noisy is it how fast does it charge What about 1 000 kilometer challenge if There's one car that can beat plaid It is probably This one because plaid can Peak at 250 Kilowatts Lucid can Peak at over 300
Kilowatts Yeah and the cameraman is probably Shaking now because he's been holding The camera very long you're doing great Job Well yeah so I'm just giving you guys The first impression of this uh it was Really a pleasure to drive it we still Have a little bit more driving so I Would just talk and give you guys as Much input as possible about stuff uh Yeah you can change this one you see you Can block the sun there and Actually the car the interior doesn't Feel too cramped Yeah it feels relatively open so uh yeah Well I have to okay there's a phone call Come here okay that was a phone huh yeah So I'm actually picking up a Neo ee t7 So we will see how that Bond hands I Know you know I spend some time with Them with model S plaid And also the model S well it's you know It was called long range and actually I Mispronounced it it's Palladium Palladium is a very expensive material Similar to uh Platinum I think so it's The Palladium project you know the model S long range and the model S plaid and I Gotta say Um okay those cars they they go like Rockets and they are fast the Teslas and They have the space I like the patch Opening just like I like the hatch
Opening in the eqs this one doesn't have The hatch opening but it might have Other stuff that I haven't experienced Like you know awesome charting speed and All that but when it comes to the Interior this is the the thing I can Tell you guys right now is that it Actually I was about to say that it Actually feels relatively spacious okay Okay we have some center console here But you see that I was surprised that This door almost it has like a concave Inwards here rather than uh many cars Like eqs or i7 you know more traditional Cars and even Tesla they have the door Is like uh it's not con okay convex I Think it's not it kind of bolts outwards So it gives you that space here and I'm Not the big guy but uh I'm at least not Bothered by it and I guess a big guy Will even feel it nice and comfy in here So what else should I say um Yeah It's it's Nice I'm trying to think now what are You guys looking for when you watch my Videos what do you want me to say uh Unfortunately I don't have too much Input yet so um I did a quick uh a Review of the Interior it looks nice and Feels nice it has cool features uh but Other than that I think this video Should be more focused towards driving And unfortunately we are stuck in Norway
We are stuck in Oslo style so there's Not much we can do but at least one one Thing I can tell you is that they hold One pedal driving here in stop and go Traffic Works relatively good and it Also has the smooth transition you can Go you know like this I can have a Relatively nice and smooth uh ride uh Forward so that the passenger doesn't Get dizzy and even now that we're Stopping there's one pedal driving works Great this is what I like about driving When you're driving traffic like this And you don't have to move the feet all The way so um yeah but actually I think That's it if I don't have more to say Then I should just stop the video here So I think that's going to be it for now I hope you guys enjoyed this video as Always thank you for watching and talk To you later
Electric City Vehicles Cars Power
Electric City Vehicles Cars Power
With new battery-powered and hybrid electric vehicles (EVs) being introduced at an increasingly rapid rate, the future looks brighter for the alternative fuel movement. They made up 5.8% of US new car sales in 2022 and will likely climb as more manufacturers introduce innovative models into the market.
Tesla Ford GM Power Manufacturing
The Big Three automakers produce their traditional cars in other states, but they’re all planning to build a significant amount of EVs in the United States in the coming years. A large part of that will be at the Michigan Central Station complex in Detroit.
EVs are being marketed for their fuel and maintenance cost savings, ATE’s Jones said. They also help reduce system costs because they can provide backup electricity for grid outages, saving owners money in the long run.
They are more efficient than gasoline-powered vehicles, which means less emissions. Some are designed to drive long distances on battery power alone, while others are hybrid electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) that use a gas engine to charge the battery.
A PHEV’s battery pack powers the electric motor until it’s depleted, then the car switches over to its gas engine. Hybrids, on the other hand, use regenerative braking to capture energy that is otherwise wasted during coasting or slowing down and feed it back into the battery for additional electricity.
The automaker is also expanding its commitment to EVs by creating a new business unit called GM Energy. It will offer charging, stationary battery storage and solar products for retail and commercial customers.
