About

Consumer Reports is the world’s largest independent product-testing organization. Every year, we put 3,500+ products to the test — from appliances and tech to cars, food, and financial services. With 50+ labs, a 327-acre auto test center, and 140+ expert researchers and technicians, nobody tests like we do. We never accept advertising or free samples. Every product we rate is purchased anonymously at retail. Companies can’t pay to be included or ranked — our work is funded primarily by subscriptions and donations. On this channel, expert reviews, product comparisons, and tips will help you buy smarter and live better.

Video Description

Become a member at https://CR.org/joinviaYT to find out how each vehicle we purchase performs in our tests. The Lucid Air is an ultra-luxury, all-electric sedan, built by the fledgling EV automaker to compete with other high-end EVs like the Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan. We discuss its driving dynamics, interior quality, what technical improvements it adds to electric vehicles as a whole, and whether it might be worth its six-figure price tag. We also discuss the role low-rolling-resistance tires play in extending the range of an EV, and if it's a good idea to use regular tires on an electric car. SHOW NOTES: :15 - Lucid Air first impressions 14:40 - how much do low-rolling-resistance tires contribute to an EV's overall range?
