Out on the road in the real world, Lucid says that translates to about 300 miles in 20 minutes. The company says the Air can charge as fast as 20 miles per minute using a DC fast charger (assuming the charger is at its peak output). That’s more than the Porsche Taycan’s 800-volt system and more than double that of Tesla’s 400 volts. This is thanks to its 900-volt electrical architecture. This is achieved with a 113-kilowatt-hour battery.Ĭharging time for the Air is incredibly fast, faster than any current mass-produced EV. The lower Touring model can achieve a range of 406 miles and the range for the base Air model has yet to be released. But that’s on the Grand Touring model the top Dream Edition has a range of 465 miles with 21-inch wheels and 503 with 19-inch wheels. That’s currently more than any other mass-produced EV on the market by a long shot. Lucid recently made headlines with a claimed driving range of 517 miles for its Air model.

Lastly, we can’t forget the latest software update (version 10.0), which adds Netflix, YouTube, and karaoke. Like the Lucid Air and many other vehicles, you can opt for a vehicle smartphone app for remote functionality. There are two smartphone docking stations (no one else offers this) and four USB ports. The upgraded system adds three more speakers. The Tesla’s audio system consists of 11 speakers and an 8-inch subwoofer. However, it features a navigation system with live traffic information and an internet browser.

The infotainment system has Bluetooth connectivity but doesn’t support Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, or Amazon Alexa. Its digital instrument cluster is 12.3 inches. Tesla’s Model S is very well-known for its massive 17-inch center touchscreen, the largest in its class. The optional system consists of 21 speakers. As with many luxury vehicles, the Air will offer a high-end audio system. We have yet to hear of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto integration. Like Tesla models, the Air will have over-the-air (OTA) software updates. The Air will also feature a smartphone app that allows owners to see vehicle information and remotely control certain functions.

A facial recognition system can detect who enters the car as the driver and will automatically adjust their vehicle settings. We still have more to learn about the Air’s infotainment system but we do know that Lucid collaborated with Amazon to give the Air Alexa technology that’s built in to the system for advanced voice recognition and commands while driving. USB-C ports and a wireless smartphone charger are located near the front center screen. If you opt for the available Executive Rear Seating package, another small touchscreen is added to the rear center console that’s located between the two rear reclining seats, and it can be coupled with a large center monitor. It’s able to retract up, revealing a small storage space behind it. There’s also an iPad-like touchscreen located at the start of the center console. The display integrates two touchscreens that flank a center, fully digital instrument panel. In front of the driver spans a 34-inch curved 5K display. The Lucid Air’s interior features impressive displays and an advanced infotainment system. Will Tesla continue its dominance? Decide for yourself. Below, we compare both electric vehicles (EVs) with the information we have on the Lucid Air so far. Until then, we can only speculate based on the information we received from its September 9 reveal. We won’t know until the Air hits the production line and is tested next year, though. If the Air is as good as it looks on paper, the Model S will have to take a knee to the new king.
