  A Lucid Station Wagon would be a killer car!

  I hope Lucid sticks around because we need cars like this.

  I didn't know that Mark was a powerlifter. That weight set is insane!

  This is not just a good EV, but a good car as a whole and I love the engineering behind it. Just sad that consumers in this price bracket are high on SUVs.

  I don't drive an EV, but if I did... I'd drive this  bad boy.

  I never knew I&apos;d be so happy to see proper, cast aluminium suspension without any nonsense in a new car!<br>It&apos;s so easy to work on when it&apos;s 20 years old too, case in point 00s luxury saloons.

  This review felt like a throwback to your older stuff circa 2015 when I first discovered your channel via the 45-minute-long E92 M3 video. Probably because you went solo here. It&apos;s a nice change of pace and it feels like reviewing the Lucid Air GT long-termer sparked something in you that took the jadedness away. I guess that&apos;s one way I can tell you really liked this car. Greetings from Manila.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMpFl_RQLLM&amp;t=150">2:30</a> metal roof superiority! I honestly hate the glass roof trend, they&apos;re heavier than metal, they&apos;re more fragile, the heat issue as you mentioned, and I&apos;d be constantly worried about hail storms or rock chips. I don&apos;t even want a regular sunroof, the last time I did the heat in the car was unbearable in the summer even with the shade closed.

  Usually with these EV startups, the majority of the complaints are about the software and software always has room for improvement. I think that Lucid has huge potential.

  2022 Air GT owner, &nbsp;I only had two trim errors, and the first service call corrected them. &nbsp;I never had an issue with the response time of the nav system, but honestly I don&apos;t use it, I use my phone, like 99% of the world does. &nbsp;The only reason I stopped using my phone as my key is that my office is right next to my garage, and it was locking and unlocking constantly. &nbsp;Other than that I really loved how it performed. &nbsp;Key fob issues...Never had them. &nbsp;Keycard, has come in handy once or twice. &nbsp; The Glass roof was an issue for me heat wise, even after I put 95% Xpel ceramic tint on the glass top. &nbsp;I finally added the roof shades, and that has done the trick and adds a bit of thermal insulation during the colder months. &nbsp;The speaker system isn&apos;t just the roof change, My service tech and I identified an assembly error that happened at the factory that has been reported so it doesn&apos;t happen again. &nbsp;On the front door panels (where the bass comes from) there is a hole just behind the speaker mount, and they were suppose to seal that hole with metal tape. &nbsp;In my case one had electrical tape, and the other had no tape. &nbsp;Once replaced that &quot;knocking&quot; sound went away, but the performance of the system IMO isn&apos;t great. &nbsp; Leg room in the back is extremely nice, and when I have passengers, they love it. &nbsp;I never carry cargo in mine. &nbsp;It is a luxury car / special event outing vehicle only for me, and I will not even take it out in the rain. &nbsp;You are EXACTLY right, I&apos;m in Smooth Mode 99.9% of the time. &nbsp;Range in King, and if you only want that power, go with the one trick pony. &nbsp;I agree with you on the GUI, and the software. &nbsp;There are some very frustrating things that LUCID&apos;s team just don&apos;t think about. &nbsp;For example, they monitor if someone is sitting in the passengers seat, but only for the airbags, why not monitor for all applications like the massage seats etc...Just like the back, I discovered that if turn off your screens to clean them, it will lock the screens EXCEPT if someone moves to the back seat (like my detailer) then for some odd reason, they do not lock. &nbsp;I also mentioned to Lucid that since they monitor day light for the headlights to come on, then the back sun screen should come down when the lights come on, and if you want it up, then you can turn it back on...seems like a no brainer but no one is thinking about this stuff. &nbsp;<br><br>Final thought, I agree with you all the way. While I drive my Bolt for the miles, or my Truck for work, I look forward to getting behind the wheel of my Air GT. &nbsp;But I learned a long time ago the way to keep a special car special is NOT to drive it everyday. &nbsp;I got mine Jan. 5th 2023, and to date, I have just over 5000 miles on it. It still has the new car smell, and each and everytime I drive it, it feels special. <br><br>Good Video, take care and good luck!

  Combined with the earlier deep &nbsp;dive into Lucid, it is beautiful to see this vehicle evolution. &nbsp;Thanks Mark. &nbsp;Great work
