Recently, the U.S. new energy vehicle start-up, Lucid Motors, released a video on Twitter showcasing the model with the longest range in the world, Lucid Air, and specific information will be announced on August 11.
At the end of the video, the number displayed is 442, which may indicate that the EPA range of Lucid Air will be 442 miles, and its drag coefficient is as low as 0.21 Cd. If it can really achieve 441 miles, then Lucid Air’s range will surpass Model S and become the pure electric vehicle with the longest EPA range.
Moreover, Lucid Air will be equipped with an advanced driving assistance system called Lucid DreamDrive. There are 32 sensors in the car, including 14 cameras, 1 millimeter wave radar, 4 corner radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, and 1 laser radar, in addition to the support of high-precision maps.
It is clear that 14 perception cameras are not appearing for the first time. Currently, the XPeng P7 is also equipped with 14 cameras, but the actual driving assistance experience still depends on specific debugging.
Officially, Lucid Air will be officially delivered in early 2021, and Lucid Motors also plans to build more than 2,000 ultra-fast chargers in the United States. The vehicle is currently available for pre-order.
