Lucid Air Dream Edition, the top-spec variant of the electric car Air, is fully booked now. California-based EV maker Lucid Motors recently updated its electric sedan’s reservation status on its website.

However, interested buyers still have a chance to get one by registering on the waiting list.

How You Can Still Buy Lucid Air Dream Edition?

You can opt for the waiting list while booking the Lucid Air Grand Touring which is the second top model of the electric car.

In addition, the customers have to pay an additional booking amount of $6,500 for booking Dream Edition. The total booking amount for Lucid Air Dream is $7,500, which is refundable.

On the other hand, for other variants, the booking amount is $1,000, and for the base model, it’s only $300.

If in case a spot gets vacant, a member of the sales team will inform you. This way you’ll still have a chance to own Lucid Air Dream Edition.

Lucid Air: A Brief Overview

Air is an upcoming luxury electric car from Lucid Motors. Lucid Air is one of the most impressive and the only legitimate Tesla Model S rivals in the market.

There are four variants of the electric car Lucid Air and ‘Dream Edition’ is its top model. The Dream Edition is equipped with a bigger 113 kWh battery and an electric range of more than 500 miles (EPA).

It’s the only electric car other than Tesla Model S Plaid to offer an EPA-certified EV range of more than 500 miles. Furthermore, being a top model luxury electric sedan, Dream Edition will cost you $161,500 after the federal tax credits.

Final Thoughts

It’s always good news for any brand whenever their product gets out of stock. The same goes for Lucid Motors as well. However, it would be better if the automaker unveils the total number of reservations.

We understand that Dream Edition is a special edition EV, and only a limited number of units will be manufactured. Anyway, advertising something by saying sold out is always a good marketing strategy.

Directly or indirectly it will benefit the automaker and also boost the sales of other variants of the car as it leaves a good impression on the masses.

These kinds of strategies are not uncommon among automakers. Back in late 2020 when GMC Hummer EV was unveiled, its top model sold out within 10 minutes. However, the GM has not declared the number of bookings.

We can’t say if it’s the right strategy as at the end of the day, the people are still in the dark. It can be a bit manipulative as we only have half the information.

The post Lucid Air Dream Edition Sold Out But Here’s How To Reserve One appeared first on Fossbytes .

The CEO of Lucid Motors, Mr. Peter Rawlinson, took out a release candidate Lucid Air for a test drive on California’s roads. This is the first time Lucid Air was spotted on a public road without camouflage.

Lucid Motors says that release candidate Air is the last step before initiating manufacturing for the customer-ordered Lucid Air. The Lucid Air tested by Mr. Rawlinson is built in the company’s new AMP-1 factory in Arizona.

The company filmed the whole scene of the test driving of the car and uploaded the video to its YouTube channel .

Lucid Air Test Drive

The purpose of testing Lucid Air was simply to evaluate the driving dynamics and other abilities of the electric car. Thus, Peter chose a mountainous region with curvy roads for the same and then headed towards the west of San Francisco. He said that these twisty sections will be the perfect ground for testing the driving dynamics of the Lucid Air.

While driving this Tesla Model S rival, Peter revealed some small yet important details about the car. For instance, he pointed out that they have recently increased the regen of the car from 0.25 to 0.3 in sports settings.

This might be a negligible change for a common person but according to him, it has significantly improved the ride quality of the car.

While praising his electric car, Peter referred to his driving experience as ‘super isolated light quality.’ He also said that he wanted this ‘vault-like experience’ from an electric car, and no EV manufacturer has perfected it.

Furthermore, he added, “ This car is as much sports car as a sedan .”

Excellent Suspension

Peter was highly impressed with the suspension team of the car. He spoke very highly of the suspension system, steering response, and the overall ride quality of Lucid Air.

Moreover, he said due to the traffic he couldn’t unleash the full ability of the electric sedan Lucid Air.

Although Mr. Rawlinson admired his electric vehicle for most of the time, he pointed out some of its flaws as well.

CEO Of Lucid Motors Sincerely Mentioned Problems In Air

The way Peter mentioned the drawbacks of his car while driving it was looking sincere and genuine and it felt quite impressive. Most automakers always praise their products and put stress on their best qualities.

However, Mr. Rawlinson took a slightly different approach and highlighted the cons of Lucid Air as well.

This looks quite genuine and might help in gaining the trust of the customers.

What Are The Flaws In Lucid Air?

According to Peter, there’s just one problem he experienced while driving the car. He said there was a bit of judder in the hill hole which can be fixed by working on software.

More importantly, Rawlinson said it can be improved and they’ll work on that.

Final Thoughts

It’s obvious that being the CEO and CTO of the company, Mr. Rawlison would have been slightly biased in his review.

However, it’s also true that Lucid Air is the only legitimate rival of the Tesla Model S. In addition, the fact that Peter pointed out a small flaw in his car would be beneficial for the company in forming trust among the masses.

We believe we’ll get more detailed feedback on the car when independent experts and actual owners drive it and share their experience.
