The entry-level Air features a single electric motor that drives the rear wheels and produces 480 horsepower.

The rest of the lineup uses dual electric motors that provide all-wheel drive and a set of different horsepower ratings. The Touring model generates 620 HP, the Grand Touring makes 1050 HP.

An initial run of limited edition cars, called the Dream Edition and Dream Edition Performance, were good for 933 horsepower and 1111 horsepower, respectively.

In this video, I'm driving the GRAND TOURING, a dual motor model with heated/ventilated/ massage seats, glass panoramic roof and upgradability to autonomous driving. 0 - 60 speed is easily under 4 seconds and the ride is comfortable enough for NY streets.

My problem is low roofline, narrow door clearance and lack of higher end seats on lower trims.

Lucid's summer lease event (going on now) asks for $8000 down to drive the Air Pure for 36 months at $1000 a month.
