Packaging is arguably one of the most challenging aspects of automotive design. Good packaging is the result of a wholistic approach of collaborative design, efficiency, and minimalism. In my opinion, there's never been a car that better reflects this approach than the Lucid Air; it fits an astonishing amount of cargo space and passenger space within a fairly compact footprint. Simultaneously, it has the lowest energy consumption on the highway of any production car sold today in the United States, with a 140 mpge rating. How have they done it? Watch the video to learn all about it!

I worked for Lucid's CEO, Peter Rawlinson, at Tesla when he was leading Vehicle Engineering many years ago. He would say "Every millimeter counts," so often that it became a running joke. I never knew if Lucid would be a successful company, but I always knew the packaging, dynamics, and overall engineering would be excellent. I hope they can be succesful enough to make some lower cost cars in the future.

As a mechanic I can assure you, manufacturers DO NOT CARE about ease of maintenance. They don’t have frunks because they are lazy.
-
You call this boring, and then proceed to make one of your most interesting videos so far. Packaging is fascinating and this is super cool
-
Ok, that differential might be the coolest thing I have ever seen!! Just by changing its position in the driveline, relative to the other gears, it can be a TENTH the size of another vehicle's differential! Whoa!! What incredible GENIUS of an engineer came up with that idea! Wow!!
-
Lucid is awesome. They're just really expensive. The good thing is technology from expensive vehicles usually makes it way down to more affordable vehicles over time.

When the McLaren F1 came out in the early 90s, everyone thought I was mad because the thing that impressed me most wasn't the performance, but the fact that it was smaller and lighter than any competitors, and could carry an extra passenger and a decent amount of luggage.
-
The sound engineer in me REALLY appreciates the fact that you've acoustically treated your garage! You kept the perfect, and I mean PERFECT amount of reverberation for that ambient "garage" sound, without it being an echo chamber (oh, the Lucid is cool, too 😊)
-
It's amazing to me how Lucid designed this car better than more known & established car companies
-
There's going to be a part two right? Right????? Lucid has a tonne of wicked engineering and I hope you can review more of it, great job!
-
Honestly, not disappointed about the lack of driving; there are plenty of videos about that, but not enough about frunks. This video has made me want a Lucid more than any other video I've seen about it.
-
More Lucid videos! It's such an underappreciated brand that needs to get its name out there. So many people don't even know about Lucid and their amazing underlying packaging, efficiency, and design.

In 1959 the Mini was designed, really, with packaging first and foremast. Maximum inside space, minimum outside dimensions. Good handling was a bonus. Well done Lucid. Alec Issigonis would have loved it.
-
Lucid embarrasses the competition in everything but sales. Sales is where it matters. The big question is, will Lucid survive?
-
Lucid is next-level when it comes to first-principles engineering. Hope they survive and drive the industry forward. Long diffuser piece was new to me!

My manager just got his Lucid delivered and we went to lunch in it last week. Was a really awesome car with a lot of nifty features, you can really tell they designed it from the ground up for efficiency and didn't just build it off an existing platform. EE is totally right about the leg space in the back seats too... I'm 6'1 and the rear seat fit me better than the back of my friends Silverado 1500 Crew Cab. That was really kind of surreal in a car just a bit larger than my Kia Forte
-
As a Design engineer you have gracefully stated my efficiency core values!! Yes, yes and Yes. There are ways to make greatness. But it takes time and thought, but it pays off for years!!! Thanks Jason!!! Well done.
-
I really hope Lucid survives long term as a company. The cars are expensive, but the engineering in them just seems so much better than any other EV on the market right now.
-
I was waiting for the headlight vents to be mentioned. All lights, even LED make heat. It’s a matter of where the heat is generated. It’s impressive that the heat sinks fit the LEDs have their own cooling channel and exhaust vent in the hood! Talk about packaging! I just hope that they survive and flourish as their drivetrain is very impressive.

This is the first channel that got everything about the Lucid Air GT right on the topics they covered. Normally I have to correct the tuber for what they got wrong, but you nailed everything. I have had mine since Jan. 5th 2023, and love it. I also appreciate the info on the EQS, I have been thinking about checking out the 580 and wasn't aware of that info, especially the front section of the car.

Outstanding! Your presentations over the years have gotten better and better and they started off from a pretty high level already. This has been my FAVORITE of all your videos. Lucid should give you free stock for all the great PR you just gave them.
