Podcasts about Lucid Air

The automotive landscape is rapidly evolving beyond traditional gasoline engines, and navigating the options can be overwhelming. Alex Kwanton from US News joins us to break down their 2025 Best Hybrids and Electric Vehicles awards, revealing which electrified options truly deliver value, performance, and efficiency without compromise.Remember when buying a hybrid meant settling for a tiny, underpowered econobox? Those days are gone. The Toyota Camry—now exclusively offered as a hybrid—leads the pack with an impressive 44-51 mpg while costing thousands less than competitors. It's joined by standouts like the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid and Lexus NX Hybrid that blend efficiency with genuine driving pleasure.The electric vehicle conversation takes us from the astonishing 512-mile range of the Lucid Air to the genuine off-road capability of the Rivian R1S. We explore how these premium offerings justify their price tags through groundbreaking technology and luxury experiences. Meanwhile, more accessible options like the distinctively designed Hyundai Ioniq 5 and 6 prove that compelling EVs exist at various price points.Perhaps most surprising is our discussion of the F-150 Lightning, which continues to prove that electric trucks can deliver on the promise of traditional pickups while adding benefits like instant torque, quieter operation, and significant energy savings. For those not ready to go fully electric, we examine how plug-in hybrids from Mazda and Volvo offer a compelling middle ground with meaningful electric-only ranges.Whether you're considering your first hybrid, curious about electric vehicles, or simply want to understand where automotive technology is heading, this episode provides invaluable insights into the vehicles leading the charge toward a more efficient future.

Jon Summers is the Motoring Historian. He was a company car thrashing technology sales rep that turned into a fairly inept sports bike rider. On his show he gets together with various co-hosts to talk about new and old cars, driving, motorbikes, motor racing, motoring travel. In this episode, Jon provides his insights on the latest vehicles in the 'Best of the Bay' road test series. He discusses and compares three standout cars: the 2025 Toyota Camry XSE, the full-size Range Rover, and the Lucid. The Camry is highlighted for its exceptional combination of performance and value, with characteristics comparable to a Lexus. The Range Rover impresses with its luxurious leather interior and commanding presence, though it is costly. The Lucid, despite being the most technologically advanced car tested and priced at double the Camry, stands out for its futuristic design and performance, making an impression on both Jon and a passerby during the review. John concludes with endorsements for the vehicles based on different consumer preferences. ==================== The Donnas - Take It Off “Camry Gonna Camry” - a bit better than you expect, in every respect: price, performance, look and feel inside and outside Full Fat Range Rover; the double whammy of the look and smell of the leather so memorable. Only 1 on road driving mode. The most civilized car we drove on the test day, makes you feel like an aristocrat. J can't do a Rangey though, he already has a corgi! Chops Garage (link) Lazerhawk - Dream Machine Episode 1 and driving the 1100hp Lucid to its frightening top speed two years ago Lucid decontented: 430hp, no moonroof, 80k not 200k The pre-production one in Santana Row vs. the up contented 1100hp with the Restoration Harware Interior The decontented car is the best car we drove during BotB The awesome calibration of the regen braking - it feels like a big german sedan engine braking at autobahn speeds Smooth, Swift and Sprint modes; about power delivery style. J preferred Smooth. Makes the Genesis, Rangey feel a last generation The Opinion of a Prius Car Camper - “That Thing Is SICK!” Overall, the Camry was Best Value; Lucid was Best Car; J would take the Genesis G80 sedan; the Single Best Thing was the Hellcat motor  Zodiac Mindwarp - Airline Highway ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: https://www.motoringpodcast.net/ Become a VIP at: https://www.patreon.com/gtmotorsports Online Magazine: https://www.gtmotorsports.org/ Copyright Jon Summers, The Motoring Historian.

Sí, ya hemos hecho videos de coches raros y de motores raros, pero te doy mi palabra: Este supera a todos los demás. Te aseguro que te voy a hablar de sistemas de propulsión no solo que no conocías, sino que ni siquiera imaginabas… ¿Aceptas el reto? “Motor” de inercia. Todo el mundo sabe que es un volante de inercia: Una pieza generalmente metálica en forma de disco de cierto peso y que “guarda” energía en forma de inercia. Se habla de “motor de inercia” pero es erróneo, porque estos motores no producen trabajo, sino que guardan ese trabajo, son una especie de “almacén de energía”. La idea es hacer un coche que en vez de motor lleve un enorme volante de inercia que puedes usar para mover el coche… ¿Te parece imposible? Pues no lo es, porque en 1982 ya General Motors diseñó un prototipo funcional que fue abandonado por dos motivos: La bajada del precio del petróleo y las mejores en eficiencia de los motores térmicos. Volvo probó estos sistemas como alternativa al coche eléctrico… dejabas al coche “cargando” por la noche, gracias a un motor eléctrico conectado a la red que movía un gran volante de inercia en una cámara sellada al vacío. Al día siguiente ya lo tenias cargado… “Motor” de aire. ¿Te imaginas un motor que funcione con aire? En este caso tampoco es un motor en sí, sino un almacén de energía. Pues no hace falta que te lo magines, porque ya existe. A principios de los años 2000, la empresa MDI gracias al ingeniero francés Guy Nègre, presentó un propulsor de aire comprimido. Se trata en realidad de otro sistema de almacenar energía, pues gracias a la electricidad comprimías aire que podía mover luego el coche gracias a un sistema de pistón y embolo… en vez de explosiones, metías directamente aire comprimido. No es ninguna tontería y en 2015 el grupo PSA mostró un sistema mucho más avanzado como alternativa a los eléctricos urbanos. Tened cuenta que el problema de la energía eléctrica es almacenarla en un coche, y en estos usabas la electricidad procedente de la red… Me parece una buena idea. Coches solares. Seguimos retando a la imaginación: ¿Te imaginas un coche que para funcionar solo necesite sol? ¡En algunas zonas de España serían ideales! La luz solar produce energía que mueve un motor eléctrico. No te los tienes que imaginar, porque estos coches ya existen. Y no uno ni dos. La firma alemana Sono Motors diseñó un modelo que además pretendía ser accesible económicamente. El modelo existía lo que sucede es que esta firma, para financiarse, había previsto un sistema de reservas y con ese dinero iniciar la producción del Sono Sion… la cosa acabó en 2023. Pero no pierdas la esperanza, porque marcas tan serias como Audi, Mercedes, Nissan, Tesla, Toyota e incluso Lucid Air están trabajando en modelos así. Ten en cuenta que no tienen por qué ser 100x100 solares, sino contar con plazas que cuando producen energía, recargan tus baterías… “Motor” de goma. No me refiero a un motor que este fabricado con goma elástica, sino a motores, mejor almacenes de energía, a base de gomas. El sistema no puede ser más simple: un mazo de goma está sujeto a una parte fija por un lado y a otra móvil por el otro. Giras la parte móvil haciendo “estirar” las gomas y cuando sueltas, pues el eje gira en sentido opuesto. ¿Te parece de chiste? Pues la empresa Cirin de Pasadena ha fabricado un coche, en realidad más bien un juguete escala 1:1, con un motor de este tipo. Lo han construido con una impresora 3D, kilos de plástico, unos cuantos tornillos, un mazo de gomas y muchísima imaginación. Y ¡ojo! que superaba los 50 km/h… pero mejor, no hablemos de autonomía, por favor. Lo ha traído aquí como curiosidad, desde luego no como alternativa. Motor de agua. ¡El motor de agua existe! ¿Qué no te lo crees? Pues te digo que sí. Solo necesitas convertir el agua en combustible y entonces la cosa cambia. Y es que si añades boro al agua la conviertes en combustible. Esta era la base del motor que en los años 70 presentó Arturo Estévez Varela, que causó mucha expectación. El boro reacciona con el agua produciendo hidrógeno… el problema es que el boro es escaso y caro, tanto como más de 2.000 euros el kilo. Así que en un coche con motor de agua recorrer 100 km te costaría entre 1.500 y 2.500 euros. Motor de leña. No podía cerrar este video sin hablar de un sistema muy eficaz y muy moderno… tan moderno como de hace más de 100 años. Y es que, en 1920 Georges Imbert diseño un sistema para conseguir gas a partir de la madera o de casi cualquier cosa que ardiese. Más tarde en 1936 Louis Libault mejoro el sistema y lo patentó como “Gazauto” y consiguió un éxito notable en momentos de escasez de gasolina, como durante e inmediatamente después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Y aún antes en España.

In this episode Jon focuses on the 'Best of the Bay 2024' car event. He reminisces about his participation in various Western Automotive Journalists' events and acknowledges the organizers and contributors, especially Michael Coates and Page One Automotive. Jon details the event format, including driving routes and the structure of the test drives. He highlights various vehicles, mentioning the Toyota Camry as the best overall car due to its value, and the Lucid Air as an impressive but expensive option. He also shares his love for more soulful, less efficient older machines compared to modern, efficient cars. Jon ends with a reflection on the emotional connection with vehicles that newer models often lack. ==================== D.A.D. - Girl Nation Thanks to Western Automotive Journailsts and Michael Coates Thanks to Page One, the Press Car suppliers Thanks to the OEMs for supplying cars, and nicely specc'd ones too J is honest about these cars, lord knows he's not doing this for the money The venue - the Dream Inn, Santa Cruz Pacific Coast Highway 1 San Francisco to Santa Cruz - really an awesome road 17 cars, timetabled driving slots Hill and coastal driving routes allowing high and low speed testing, including sweeping bends Judgement to be “the Best At What The Car Set Out To Do” J's Best Car: 2025 Toyota Camry J's Best, price no object: 2025 Lucid Air If It Was J's Money: 2025 Genesis G80 2025 Fiat 500e - basic, but adequate Many good cars, some great ones, no terrible ones But none are as cool as the ‘91 Gixxer - 750 not a 1000 like I say - I rode before this recording As the machines get more efficient, they become less intereting Judas Priest - Free Wheel Burning ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: https://www.motoringpodcast.net/ Become a VIP at: https://www.patreon.com/ Online Magazine: https://www.gtmotorsports.org/ Copyright Jon Summers, The Motoring Historian.

Meine Eindrücke nach einer Woche Lucid Air

In this episode of the Out of Spec Podcast, we sit down with the OG Model S team (Dan, Alex, Tom) from the I-90 Surge to recount their epic cross country road trip in a 2012 Tesla Model S 85. Spanning over 63 hours from Seattle to Boston, the team faced unique challenges as they piloted one of the first DC fast charging EVs, a vehicle now over a decade old, against modern electric vehicles like the Porsche Taycan, Lucid Air, and Tesla Model 3. We dive deep into their strategy, exploring how they managed frequent charging stops, optimized efficiency with Tesla's Supercharger network, and coped with the quirks of older EV technology. They reflect on the evolution of Tesla's technology, the surprising endurance of their benchmark vehicle, and memorable moments, including landmarks, team banter, and late-night hallucinations during their sleep-deprived adventure.Shoutout to our sponsors for more information find their links below:- Fort Collins Kia: Visit focokia.com for full details.

One state's highway patrol is perhaps the most famous nationwide – and that's California's, a unit that inspired the 1970's cop drama CHiPS.And anyone who's viewed it knows that CHiPS was associated with motorcycles – specifically classic Kawasakis that were common on police forces at the time. Well, today's California Highway Patrol might look a lot different. Carscoops is reporting that the California Highway Patrol is testing an EV – the Lucid Air, to be specific.Download and listen to the audio version below and click here to subscribe to the Today in Manufacturing podcast.

The Lucid Motors Air sedan joined the fray in the luxury electric car space only a few years ago, and the landscape is constantly changing. While the company gears up to launch a much-needed ‘ute, the Lucid Air still fills an important space for the brand: it exists. Spread across four price tiers, the Lucid Air is fighting against legacy BEV stalwarts from Tesla like the Model S, and the more recent ventures into the space from Audi, Porsche and so many other automakers. This Lucid Air Touring sits below the flagship Sapphire and Grand Touring and boasts 620 hp from its twin-motor layout. The folks at Lucid say that this combination is good enough for zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds and a 140 mph top speed, all while weighing two and a half tons.  On this episode of Quick Spin, Autoweek executive editor Tom Murphy hops behind the wheel of the '24 Lucid Air Touring and puts it through its paces. Murphy takes you on a guided tour of the Lucid Air Touring and highlights some of his favorite features while describing what it's like to live with. Later, Murphy takes you along for a live drive review. Adding to these segments, Murphy chats with host Wesley Wren about the Lucid Air, its space in the marketplace, and more. Closing the show, the pair breaks down what makes the '24 Lucid Air Touring special.

In this episode, we talk about the 2025 Hyundai XRT debut, range-testing the indefatigable Lucid Air Grand Touring, range testing the Chevrolet Equinox EV, Tesla "Actually Smart Summon" and, of course, much, much more.

In this Friday episode, we talk about the VW ID. Buzz range and price deets, Ford's EV rollout "realignment," Lucid Air charging curve, Kyle updates us on Lucid Gravity and the Volvo EX90...and more. Tune in and get up to speed!

Electric Vehicle Sales Electric vehicle sales have really not kept up with expectations and I'm concerned for the smaller companies such as Lucid, Fisker and Rivian, which besides Tesla may be the only other exclusive electric vehicle company that may survive. Digging deeper into the numbers for Lucid, since 2021 they've only built 10,495 cars and the most recent quarterly loss per vehicle was $145,824. When the company first went public back in 2021, they had $4.8 billion in cash, but as of the end of 2023 the company is down to cash of $1.4 billion. In 2023 the company burned through $3.4 billion in cash. The only thing that could save this company would be another billion-dollar investment from the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund as they did back in 2018 when they invested $1 billion. I really like the look of the Lucid Air, but do not see how this company will survive. I would speculate that by 2025 this company will be in bankruptcy. The sad part is for people buying the cars today because of the great deals they may be receiving, think ahead a few years about who will be around to service these cars and they may be stuck in your garage with no way to get them serviced. I would encourage people if you're going to buy an electric vehicle, buy it from a well-known brand like Ford or General Motors who will be around for years to come to service that vehicle. History of Hype Investing Are people so smart that they really don't need to look at what happened in history? We have said many times we stay away from the hype investments like Nvidia and cryptocurrencies and back this up with reality. Let's go back and learn from the late 90s about a company called CMGI, which helped fund internet startups. It was claimed to be one of the hottest investments in history and the CEO, David Wetherell, was deemed to be a hero and a genius. Keep in mind this was 24 years ago and when the company hit a $34 billion market cap, it was larger than Alcoa or Texaco. All the financial talk shows could not talk enough about CMGI and why the stock would continue to go up and what a great investment it was. Anyone on the other side who warned about this was considered a fool, or an idiot. They were told they didn't understand enough about the company. In 1999, the stock rose 940% and everybody wanted a piece of it. Starting to sound familiar yet? However, the next year when the curtain came down, the stock fell 96%. That was the end of the story for many investors!   PCE No real exciting news from the personal consumption expenditures price index (PCE) as it was right in line with expectations. The headline number showed an annual increase of 2.5%, which matched the forecast. This was however above the January reading of 2.4%. This increase was likely a result of energy prices as they climbed 2.3% in the month. Core PCE, which excludes food and energy also matched expectations with a 2.8% rise compared to last year. This was slightly lower than last month's reading of 2.9% and marked the smallest gain since March 2021.  Roth IRA 5-Year Rules There is often confusion around the nuances of the 5-year Roth IRA rules. There are two separate 5-year rules that apply depending on whether a contribution or a conversion is made. In a nutshell, the rule for contributions dictates how long you must wait to access the earnings without taxes or penalties, while the rule for conversions dictates how long you must wait to access the conversion principal. When making a contribution to a Roth IRA, you can always withdraw the contribution principal no matter your age. This is because contributions are made with after-tax funds. To access the earnings, the account must have been funded at least 5 tax years ago, and you must be at least age 59.5. Being age 59.5 alone is not enough to access those earnings. A contribution of any size will start this 5-year clock and after those 5 years it will no longer be relevant. After making a Roth Conversion, there is a separate 5-year rule which states that 5 tax years must pass for each individual conversion or the account holder must reach age 59.5 in order to access the conversion principal. Upon reaching age 59.5 this rule no longer applies. Therefore, if a conversion is made by someone who is 60, they can immediately access the conversion principal, or if someone who is 58 makes a conversion, they can access conversion principal upon reaching age 59.5 without waiting the 5 years. In these cases, the accounts must still be funded for at least 5 years to access any earnings. Since the conversion rule is triggered by the sooner of reaching age 59.5 or 5 years, a 30-year-old could make a conversion and withdraw that conversion principal after 5 years without tax or penalty even though they are not age 59.5. It is common for people to question making a contribution or conversion in fear that money will be locked up for 5 years, but if done correctly there can be ways to access funds without waiting.

For most of his career, Tony Posawatz was a highly successful engineer working in GM's lucrative truck division. That meant big rigs powered by gasoline and diesel engines. Then one day in 2006 GM's top leadership appointed him to lead a breakthrough initiative. "Build us an electric car that will make people forget all about the Toyota Prius," they said. GM had taken a shot at an all-electric vehicle in the 1990s called the EV1. Tony and his team of top notch GM engineers knew that the way to beat the Prius was to go electric. But range anxiety was an issue. So, they got inventive and designed a propulsion system that featured both an electric battery and a gasoline engine. This set-up, in time, would become known as a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle or a PHEV. That product, which debuted 11 years ago, served as a bridge to a barrage of pure electrics like the Tesla Model 3, the Hyundai IONIQ, the Mustang Mach E, the Rivians and the Lucids now hitting the market today. How far along have we advanced on the path to electrics. And how much work still remains to be done before we reach electric nirvana?

It also announces mineral deals with several companies to secure the supply of lithium products supporting the EVs production.  General Motors is set to launch an all-electric Cadillac Escalade called the Escalade iQ, with specifications and production details yet to be confirmed. This addition to Cadillac's EV lineup is expected to play a significant role in GM's long-term strategy.  Texas imposes a new tax on electric vehicles, requiring owners to pay $400 registration and $200 renewal fees, in a bid to generate revenue for the state's highway expenses. The new tax is expected to add about $350 to the cost of owning an EV for Texans.  Tesla is shipping more vehicles from its Shanghai plant to the North American market, likely driven by tax credit rules and the incentives offered through Canada's iZEV program. This strategy signifies Tesla's potential to expand its shipping operations to Canada.  Three abandoned Tesla Roadsters from 2008, stored in sealed sea containers, have reached a bid of $750,000 in an ongoing auction. Despite having no knowledge of their exact condition, the vehicles are expected to have zero miles on their odometers.  Tesla slashes prices on its new inventory with RWD Model 3s starting at $39,030, an attempt to clear out existing units ahead of upcoming model facelifts. This is part of Tesla's strategy to capitalize on economies of scale as it increases production in its global Gigafactories.  The US government initiates two programs aimed at establishing a national network of 500,000 public EV charging ports. This involves funding testing and validation of charging equipment and creating a centralized data platform for EV charger data reporting.  Panasonic announces plans to quadruple its EV battery production by 2031 by focusing on North American production. The strategy includes building at least two new factories to produce 4680 battery cells.  Jeep seeks to expand its presence in the UK market by concentrating on electrification. After admitting past failures in the UK, Jeep's boss believes the excitement around electric 4x4s can help the company's growth in the country.  China has overtaken Japan as the world's top auto exporter, spurred by a 58% increase in automobile exports and a 93% rise in new energy vehicle exports. This surge was supported by the Chinese government's backing for domestic EV growth.  Lucid Motors announces pricing for two more Lucid Air variants in Europe, the Air Pure AWD and Air Touring, set to be delivered in Q3 and Q4 2023 respectively. Both models use a smaller 92 kWh battery pack, providing up to 725 kilometers of range.  Rolls-Royce plans to start production of its Spectre electric coupé in September, with an estimated price of over half a million euros. Orders placed today are expected to be delivered in 2025, showing high demand for the company's first all-electric car.  Gotion unveils its Astroinno L600 LMFP battery cell and pack, a cobalt-free solution that achieves a 1000km range. Set to start mass production in 2024, the battery tech will be available to Volkswagen, Gotion's largest shareholder. 

Drive the streets of San Diego and it will feel like the whole world is going electric. Here is a Tesla Model 3. There is a Hyundai Ioniq 5. Look at that Lucid Air. Or that cyber orange Mach E. Take your driving to the northern climes, like Detroit, Michiganor Green Bay, Wisconsin, and the picture looks totally different. There full-size pickup trucks and SUVs powered by gasoline engines rule the road. Electrics are simply hard to find, like some endangered species. What explains the dramatic difference? Why is California covered in EVs while people in the north are hanging onto their gasoline powered vehicles? For this week's Driving With Dunne episode conversation, we speak to Andy Minckler, a regular listener to the podcast. Andy lives in New Hampshire about an hour from Boston. He is tempted to go electric. But something is holding him back. What are his concerns? And what might make him change his mind? #DrivingWithDunne / #ZozoGohttps://twitter.com/Dunne_ZoZoGohttps://www.instagram.com/zo.zo.go/?hl=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-dunne-a696901a/

The company will launch its flagship electric sedan, the Lucid Air, in Norway in the coming months and plans to open showrooms in Oslo and Bergen later this year.  Ford is adding a "burnout mode" to its electric cars, allowing the vehicles to spin their wheels without moving. The feature will be available on all of Ford's electric vehicles, including the Mustang Mach-E GT, and is sure to appeal to car enthusiasts.  Chinese automaker Geely's subsidiary, Lynk & Co, has launched its first electric vehicle, the Zero Concept, at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show. The EV has a range of up to 435 miles, cutting-edge technology, and is aimed at urban, younger drivers, with a subscription service that includes insurance and maintenance.  Toyota has announced that the BZ3, its first electric vehicle co-developed with BYD, has rolled off the production line. The compact SUV will have a range of around 250 miles, advanced driver assistance systems, and will be launched in China first.  Lamborghini is reportedly set to introduce its first-ever plug-in hybrid vehicle, the 2024 Lamborghini Urus Plug-in Hybrid.

The plan takes a comprehensive approach to expanding EV infrastructure, promoting consumer awareness and education, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.  Tesla is among several companies reviewing their investments in Europe to comply with the IRA announced by President Biden, which aims to reduce electronic waste. The company is committed to environmental sustainability and actively seeking ways to comply with the IRA, including reviewing its Gigafactory in Berlin.  Turkey has imposed a 40% additional tariff on electric vehicle imports from China starting from March 2023 to boost local production and employment. This decision aligns with Turkey's goal to reduce its reliance on foreign imports and increase domestic production while presenting opportunities for other countries to expand their electric vehicle exports to Turkey.  California's Independent System Operator (CAISO) has raised concerns over whether the state's power grid can manage the surge in electric vehicles (EVs). A 15-fold increase in EVs could result in a 25% increase in electricity demand in California by 2045, but the report suggests that the challenges can be mitigated with proper planning, investment in renewable energy, and implementation of programs to incentivize charging during off-peak hours.  Li Auto's CEO, Li Xiang, predicts that the price of lithium carbonate will drop by up to 40% in the next year due to an increase in production capacity and supply chain improvements, which will benefit the electric vehicle industry. This decrease in prices will make electric vehicles more accessible to consumers and lead to lower costs for manufacturers.  Automakers such as Volkswagen and General Motors are investing in and partnering with mining startups and junior mining companies to secure a steady supply of minerals needed for EV batteries. However, these partnerships present challenges, including lack of experience and infrastructure for large-scale mining operations, and navigating the complexities of the mining industry.
