Nice. Am I the only one who got Goose Bumps. Yes please.Jason Camissa just posted his latest drag race video that pits the Sapphire against a Tesla Plaid and a Bugatti Chiron
I agree. I am normally a speed junkie, so to speak, used the "M" button on my BMW M5 quite a bit. I do not know the "why" to this, but I have only ever been out of "Smooth" mode to show someone the "warning". I never really find the need as the "Vanilla" mode has suited me just fine.I haven't been out of smooth mode and haven't floored it.
A couple of times when on an nearly empty expressway I look down and crikie am I going that fast?
First time I went to pass I pissed myself a bit.
I've found my limit with the vanilla GT thank you.
I agree that Lucid needs to be in these conversations. But at this point the Sapphire is not much more than Vaporware. Not so for the Plaid, Chiron, and Panigali. As an order holder waiting on a GT, I would rather have seen those development funds directed towards more service centers and getting the software out of the "beta" stage. I feel those things would keep me waiting instead of backing out.This video is all the evidence you need that Sapphire was a good idea for Lucid.
Otherwise, it would have been a drag race between the Bugatti and the Tesla. And that's it.
Lucid needs to be in these conversations. The brand benefits outweigh the costs of development. Not to mention, things they've learned during performance tweaking will find their way into GTs, Tourings, and even Pures eventually.
I don't think more money is going to fix their software. Mythical Man Month, and all that. They replaced the people they needed to on that team. At this point, spending more money isn't going to help. They just need to keep crunching.I agree that Lucid needs to be in these conversations.

And they really need to do a better job marketing...nearly everyone I tell about my Lucid order has never heard of Lucid.Lucid can now claim its technology enables longest range, fastest charge, and QUICKEST acceleration. This is golden for marketing.
