It’s first drive day for Sapphire! Some initial impressions: “With all of this in mind, the Lucid Air Sapphire is in a class of its own. There's simply nothing that delivers comparable performance, range, luxury, comfort, and refinement in a single package.” “As we approached an uphill left sweeper, I kept my foot on the accelerator with just enough pressure to maintain the Sapphire's speed and balance. A smooth tip of the steering wheel revealed how much more agility is in reserve. The nose of the big sedan eagerly pointed into the bend and for a brief moment of steady-state cornering, it settled into the asphalt while smoothly shrugging off the ruts and bumps. Back into the throttle and I could feel the weight shift toward the rear, giving me even more confidence to push harder. The bespoke Michelin Pilot 4S rubber never made so much as a limited squeal. They just tracked beautifully from bend to bend.” “Despite decades of driving experience and spinning more times than I care to admit, the Sapphire defied physics and blew me away. It's a testament to the smart programming and tuning of the traction and stability control systems in conjunction with those two rear motors. These systems monitor countless data points 1,000 times a second, expertly reacting with more power here and less power there.” Huge congrats to the team who has poured their heart and soul into this segment-defining product. https://lnkd.in/gHjGXeaf
