The point Gittin Jr. and many EV enthusiasts are trying to get across is that you can have the best of both worlds, and in a hobby like motorsport, if there is fun to be had in a new way, you should enjoy it instead of rejecting it. Nobody is saying to get rid of your 3,000hp twin turbo Viper , they're simply saying to think about also owning an

Back in 2008, Top Gear aired an episode of presenter Jeremy Clarkson getting the opportunity to test the first Tesla Roadster . Clarkson started by demonstrating how quick it was compared to the Lotus Elise it was based off of, and proceeded to rip the entire car apart, thereby basically concluding that electric cars are dumb and will never catch on. Fast forward to now, and you have companies such as Ford making insane electric sports cars like the Mach-E 1400, and showcasing just how awesome electric cars can be. A little over a week ago, Ford and Vaughn Gittin Jr. took the Mach-E to Goodwood Festival of Speed to showcase its performance. And now, we're getting a closer look here at this amazing ride, including details surrounding American rapper T-Pain’s involvement with the car’s so

Thanks to all the space Lucid saves with this innovative design, they have the chance to shape the vehicle in non-conventional ways. So while there's more space inside for people and things, the vehicle itself can maintain a smaller overall footprint. To demonstrate what that means for us automotive enthusiasts is that the Air – which is 195.5 inches long – should handle as well, if not better, than a similarly sized car such as the BMW M5 (194.6 inches) while being able to carry passengers in the comfort and luxury that could only be experienced in something like the 7 Series. That's well demonstrated in its Laguna Seca lap record . While we can be sure that very few Lucid owners will be tracking their cars, it's encouraging to see this new company keeping an eye planted on real driving performance as a part of their benchmark

A "hard reboot" requires pressing the same two scroll wheels on the steering wheel but also pressing the brake at the same time. The car must be parked as this will affect all critical systems. Hard reboots are recommended only at the direction of a Tesla service cen

"As far as the future, we’re looking at additional derivatives. Color and material and paint variants for Lucid Air, further widening our options, looking at performance variants as well as additional luxury variants. And, naturally, we look at the Lucid Air platform and what other products could be spawned off that platfo

"On the exterior, [the challenge] was probably this cab-forward proportion. The car has a relatively long wheelbase and the cabin is stretched out much farther than other cars in that class. As a result, you end up with a fairly short hood and you end up with a very short tru

An easy way to send directions straight from Google Maps on your phone to the Model 3 is to use the share button in Google Maps. As long as both Google Maps and the Tesla app are installed on the phone it should be a sharing opt

The main goal of the Space Concept was to find out how small Lucid could make each of their drivetrain components without sacrificing power, performance, and luxury. Their internal goal was to be hyper-efficient in terms of packaging so that they could make better use of the space. To achieve this, they built the entire package from the ground up. No legacy off-the-shelf parts were used when creating the battery pack and drivetrain. Despite the smaller footprint, they've still managed to extract more than 1,000 horsepower from the vehicle that can apparently be exercised over and over again without needing a break. The performance doesn't stop there tho

"That’s why we put all this focus on the lighting, on the light blade, we have this incredible microlens array technology which allows the very slim digital lighting. We need very little cooling on the front of the car, that’s why we have this very small opening down bel

Just to get the hypercar performance numbers out of the way, Lucid claims the top-spec Air will have over 1,000 horsepower, all-wheel drive, a minuscule 0.21 coefficient of drag, and that it can achieve a top speed of over 200 miles per hour in production form. All with an estimated industry-best range of 517 mi

Jenkins has come to terms with the fact that the Air will forever be compared to Tesla’s Model S . On one hand, Peter Rawlinson’s involvement with and untimely departure from the Tesla brand can possibly take the blame. On the other, the Model S really only has one current competitor, Porsche’s Taycan, so any new addition to the market can only be compared to one or two other vehic

"I’m a little bit more practical these days," he responded. "I’ve got a few cars. We’ve got a Range Rover that I love because it’s really simple and timeless—and modern at the same time. I have a dune buggy, of all things, a Meyers Manx, which is kind of my weekend get-around vehicle. I love this air-cooled era of Volkswagen and kit ca
