Peter Rawlinson just took a release candidate car on a public road test drive without camouflage for the first time:
His comments reveal a couple of things that still have to be resolved, mainly through software tweaking. He commented that Lucid has recently reprogrammed the regenerative braking from 0.25-G to 0.3-G deceleration, which is going to make it fairly aggressive.
A bystander asked him about the car, and he said it was a 1,000-hp car with 500 miles of range. I assume he was doing some rounding, unless the final output and range specs have changed a bit? (The car in the video did not have the 19" aero wheels that are supposedly required to give the Dream Edition 503 miles of range.)
(After seeing the Eureka Gold car at the West Palm Beach Design Studio, I configured my order with a black exterior. Seeing this black car on the road in varying lighting has confirmed that choice for me.)
