I'm curious which wheels/tires were on the cars you test drove. I was surprised at the difference between an Air Touring with 19" wheels and all-season tires and an Air GT with 21" wheels and summer tires (stock tires in both cases). Even without getting frisky the GT felt much more stuck to the...
Can you get this in small quantities? Sticker Shield is the same idea (https://stickershield.com/collections/sticker-shield-products) and starts at $10 for a two-pack.
After posting I noticed that the GT is on 19" all-season tires and the Touring is on 20" summer tires (Lucid's configuration page calls these "summer tires").
I had to double check that the Touring and GT had the same 0-60 time from the same magazine, but it's true. Here are details with links:

Driving across Southern California and Nevada I felt a lot of heat coming down through the top and wished I had something to block it.
The Lucid tech talk (link and transcript here) claims that the "lucid integrated drive unit" is good for 670 hp. Does Lucid have more than one drive unit? If not, then they are artificially capped in different vehicles. Of course each motor needs an appropriately-sized inverter to drive it to a...
I have doubts. On April 17, 2024, Lucid announced the 2024 Grand Touring will have the heat pump from the Sapphire. That press release mentions the Touring but nothing about a heat pump there.
