Her video is fair. Porsche owners are pretty loyal to the brand so wasn’t surprised by what she said. The Lucid has the performance but I wouldn’t call it sporty looking.
Do you think Kyle will brush over the software like she did? I don’t, he’ll show it on video and won’t be good for Lucid. It’s interesting that Kyle also hasn’t done a review on a Lucid production vehicle either.
That was a big problem with her review though. "Software is bad and needs a lot of work" what does that even mean? No articulation, no details, nothing! What's bad about it? We know since we are owners, but the way she makes it sound is like it's unusable.
Agreed. I love Kyle's videos and I'm eager to see more of his thoughts and perspective.
Which is why Lucid needs to get on top of it and control the narrative. People making flippant comments will have people believe them when the company says nothing to contradict what they’re saying.
Right ‽ So much in this video was out of character for a “professional” channel. It was truly in poor taste IMO.
This didn’t really seem like much of a review in the end. In fairness it was a standard test drive and they said at the beginning that Lucid limited what they could film and didn’t allow audio recording so it would have been tough to get good content out of it. Didn’t really seem like it was worth posting though (everything else Out of Spec does is normally pretty thorough and informative - this was not that)
It’s a YouTube car review. For male reviewers that typically means cargo shorts & a t-shirt which isn’t exactly “mature”. The fact it’s not very informative has nothing to do with what she is wearing.
Yeah the car review industry is so male-centric, that I was looking forward to hearing other perspectives on the car. I had no problem with the reviewer, except that what she was looking for in a car (sportiness/performance), she wasn’t allowed to experience in the test drive. Like what’s the point of trying to sell someone a car with crazy performance if they’re not allowed to test out that performance even briefly? I actually thought it was a mistake by the studio to not allow her to have a little fun with the car, given she has a Taycan. Of course the Lucid probably is the wrong fit for her since the Porsche brand seemed to be a big reason for her sticking with the Taycan, but IMO the Lucid looks better than the Taycan and it turns waaaaaaay more heads, so if you’re looking for brand name “status”, even though I definitely wasn’t when I got the car, well get the Lucid!
Yeah I remember Thomas from Autogefuhel’s first review of the Taycan and he lost his mind over the car, it was fun to watch a normally reserved German blasting through corners and giggling like a kid. The Taycan is great, probably the 2nd best performance sedan EV on the market behind the Lucid, but I needed more range and space, so the Lucid was my choice and as an added bonus it’s faster anyway.
