Podcasts about Lucid Motors

The 2025 Lucid Gravity marks a major step for Lucid Motors as it enters the hotly competitive luxury electric SUV market. With a bold aerodynamic design, three-row practicality, and up to 828 horsepower, the Gravity aims to combine performance and family-friendly utility in a premium package. By doing so, it seeks to upset the luxury SUV applecart as it rockets to the top of the pack. This past week, host Jack Nerad was one of a select few journalists to drive and road test the Gravity for the first time. During his stint behind the wheel, he sampled the Gravity's dynamic split personality. At once, it is a highly competent performance vehicle and a fully utilitarian SUV that can tow, haul and convey seven adults at a rate few are accustomed to. Powered by dual motors producing up to 828 horsepower and 909 lb-ft of torque, the Gravity can accelerate to 60 mph in a claimed 3.4 seconds. Its air suspension, rear-wheel steering, and adjustable ride height make it a surprisingly agile and adaptable vehicle, particularly given its 6,048-pound curb weight, while a Terrain Mode and 6,000-pound towing capacity further expand its versatility. But is it a vehicle you'd want to live with day-to-day, given the elevated level of several of its rivals? Nerad will offer his views. In our other road test, co-host Chris Teague takes one of the nation's most popular plug-in hybrid vehicles through its paces as winter turns to spring in Maine. As unlikely as it might seem, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe is among the best sellers among the much-misunderstood roster of PHEVs. Its credentials are strong, but, again, is it a wise choice given its premium price over other Wranglers? Teague and Nerad will weigh in. When it comes to family vehicles, the Hyundai Palisade has gained a reputation as a thinking person's choice. Now, Hyundai has just introduced the all-new 2026 version, and Nerad went behind the scenes for an exclusive interview with Hyundai Product Planning Manager Melvyn Bautista to take a deep dive into the vehicle. It is both Easter week and New York Auto Show week, so we have a lot of news from each. Easter in Moab, Utah, is one of the biggest off-road gatherings of the year, and Jeep and Ford are there showing off concept vehicles. We have the details. Several new models have been introduced in and around the New York show, and we'll tell you about cool vehicles from Kia, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz and Audi in this episode. Used car buyers might be in for a price shock in the next few weeks, and it has nothing to do with tariffs. We'll tell you more and, of course, we'll have the latest auto tariff news for you too.

Description:In this episode, I share insights from my hectic week that disrupted my usual podcast schedule, exploring the balance of work, studies, and personal responsibilities. I recount a humorous yet frustrating car incident involving a flat tire caused by a razor blade, reflecting on the importance of processing emotional reactions before making statements, particularly in the context of technology discussions. I discuss significant news in the electric vehicle sector, including Nikola Motors' bankruptcy, Lucid Motors' factory acquisition, NIO's battery swap partnership with CATL, and BYD's innovative advancements like their humanoid robot and EV price cuts. Finally, I pose a thought-provoking question about the future of electric vehicle refueling methods—rapid charging versus battery swap stations—encouraging listeners to consider their preferences and the evolving landscape of EV technology.Support the Show:PatreonAcast+Other Podcasts:Beyond the Post YouTubeBeyond the Post PodcastShuffle Playlist918Digital WebsiteSources: Lucid to Buy Nikola's Factory and HeadquartersNIO and CATL Partner UpCATL and 10,000 New Battery Swap StationsBYD Seagull Gets a Price CutBYD 5 minute charging 1BYD 5 minute charging 2BYD 5 minute charging 3BYD Han L's New Lower PriceSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/kilowatt.

#122: Saudi-financed Lucid Motors is losing the race when it comes to providing electric cars for rich people. Lucid's former CEO received a 379 million dollar pay package and then resigned, and the stock tanked. Amazon-backed Rival car producer Rivian's stock is also doing poorly, and the share price of crazy guy Elon Musk's Tesla has plummeted as well. The most offensive aspect of these American electric car companies is their marketing. Is buying a $100,000 sports car or SUV really going to save the earth?

America on the Road Host Jack Nerad has a new favorite car. The 2025 Volvo V60 T8 Polestar Engineered has all the things an auto journalist wants in a vehicle — high horsepower, exhilarating performance, sharp handling, impressive tech, great looks, superior comfort — and it's a STATION WAGON. Ding! Ding! Ding! This high-performance luxury wagon blends power, efficiency, and cutting-edge technology in a package that will surprise — or maybe shock — sports car drivers who try to take it on. Designed for those who appreciate versatility without compromising performance, this Eurostyle station wagon offers an engaging driving experience with a refined interior and advanced safety features. As Nerad says, “I just plain like it.” And he'll have all the details on why — starting with its 455 velvety horsepower — coming up. In our other road test this week, guest co-host Matt DeLorenzo details his weeklong stint in the 2025 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. With a combined 192 horsepower on tap and 47 mpg fuel economy, the Sonata Hybrid is right in the wheelhouse of the guy who runs tightwadgarage.com. Matt and Jack will have more on this often-overlooked, high-value midsize sedan in this episode. We have a terrific guest for you this week. Dave Buchko is a senior product communications specialist at Lucid Motors and an expert on the EV brand's new Gravity SUV. Jack Nerad caught up with him at the recent Chicago auto show, and we think you'll enjoy the in-depth discussion of the new battery-electric SUV and its unique features. In the news this week, say hello at in-car AI. BMW is about to introduce new models with Superbrains. We'll tell you what that means and more coming up. Kia has revealed details on its upcoming EV4 battery-electric hatchback, and we'll share them with you. Say it isn't so, but a rumor is flying through the industry that Volvo will quit making station wagons. But we'll tell you what is most likely to happen coming up. And in the most under-reported story of the year, the United Auto Workers has fully endorsed the Trump Administration's suggested tariffs. We'll tell you more and give our reactions. As always, a lot to talk about this week. We thank you for joining us.

This is the wrong reference class for FTX at a $32b valuation, but even amongst extremely valuable companies, failures are not uncommon: WeWork had a peak valuation of $47b Theranos had a peak valuation of $10b Lucid Motors had a peak valuation of $90b Virgin Galactic had a peak valuation of $14b Jull had a peak valuation of $38b Bolt had a peak valuation of $11b Magic Leap had a peak valuation of $13b That is only a handful of cases, but the reference class for startups worth over $10b is also pretty small.

We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text message.In this episode of Discover Daily, we dive into the latest developments in AI and electric vehicles. First, we explore how Slack is transforming into a "work operating system" by integrating AI agents from partners like Salesforce and Adobe, aiming to streamline workflows and boost productivity. However, concerns about user privacy and potential AI misuse remain as these powerful tools are embedded into daily workflows. Next, we discuss Lucid Motors' plans to launch a more affordable midsize electric SUV, targeting a starting price around $48,000 to compete with the Tesla Model Y. By leveraging its efficiency and advanced EV technology, Lucid aims to offer competitive range and features at a lower price point than its current luxury lineup. The success of this mainstream model will be crucial for Lucid to increase sales volume and work towards profitability amidst ongoing financial challenges.Finally, we take a deep dive into the unexpected twist in the solving of Bitcoin's 66-bit puzzle. The long-standing cryptographic challenge, created in 2015, contained a Bitcoin address with an intentionally weakened private key. When the puzzle was solved on September 14th, the victor attempted to claim the 6.6 Bitcoin prize but inadvertently revealed the public key. This misstep allowed opportunistic bots to derive the private key and swiftly steal most of the funds, highlighting the ever-present security risks in the cryptocurrency space and the sophistication of bot networks monitoring Bitcoin's mempool.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/slack-debuts-ai-agents-9fMHurQmQS6pM4_bLyvefghttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/lucid-s-upcoming-affordable-su-KHyRrerbTHu5bkh0b8MdvQhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/bitcoin-s-66-bit-puzzle-solved-1fFxJ9Z8Ti6V83.DnGIU.QPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.
