I was the chief engineer on the Tesla Model S. I know what Tesla does well. I also know where they cut corners. Lucid is what happens when you don't cut corners.
516 miles of EPA-rated range. No other EV comes close. That's not a marketing claim — it's physics. Our powertrain is the most efficient on the planet, and the numbers prove it.
People ask why the Lucid Air costs $70,000 to $250,000. I ask them how much a Mercedes S-Class costs. We're not competing with Corollas — we're redefining luxury. Luxury that happens to be electric.
The Air Sapphire does 0-60 in 1.89 seconds. That makes it the fastest production sedan ever made. Not the fastest electric sedan — the fastest sedan. Period. The age of compromise is over.
Building a car company from scratch is the hardest thing I've ever done. And I engineered the Model S. The difference between engineering a car and manufacturing 10,000 of them is like the difference between writing a song and running a record label.
Our technology is so efficient that we can license our powertrain to other automakers and they'd still come out ahead. The motor, the inverter, the battery pack — every component is best-in-class. That's our insurance policy.
