Lucid Motors to use Nvidia's new Drive Hyperion platform
During yesterday's Nvidia keynote, the company announced its partnership with Lucid Motors and in turn, the automaker said that it will use Nvidia's new Drive Hyperion platform for self-driving for its current and future models.
The Hyperion platform is something like Tesla's custom Full Self-Driving chip and allows manufacturers to tune their driving features. The platform should enable some advanced driver-assistance systems, automated parking and autonomous driving.
Lucid Motors is already selling its Lucid Air EV and the higher tiers such as the Dream Edition and the Grand Touring are equipped with 14 cameras, 5 radars, 12 ultrasonic and LiDAR sensors so implementing Nvidia's new platform will have plenty of data to work with.

Lucid Air gains 1035bhp Grand Touring Performance model
Uprated EV can dispatch 0-62mph in 2.6sec and has a range of up to 446 miles
The Lucid Air has gained a new Grand Touring Performance model that, the US electric vehicle manufacturer says, is the most powerful EV in North America.
The model is powered by dual electric motors producing a total output of 1035bhp for a 0-62mph sprint of just 2.6sec. The firm claims a range of up to 446 miles.
That’s an improvement over the already powerful, standard Grand Touring model, which has 819bhp and a 0-62mph time of 3.0sec. The Grand Touring also offers a slightly longer range than the Performance version, with a maximum claimed distance between charges of 516 miles.
Peter Rawlinson, CEO and CTO of the Lucid Group, said: “Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance answers the strong demand we continue to see for higher-performance versions of the Lucid Air.

Lucid Air Dream Edition sold out, Air Grand Touring deliveries have started
Lucid Air Dream Edition launch version is no longer available. Well, that was fast. Fear not, however - the first production series is here to quench your thirst for Lucid Air. The super luxurious sedan is now available in Grand Touring and Grand Touring Performance versions.
We start with Air Grand Touring - it comes with 819hp output, which is good enough to get it from naught to 60mph in 3 seconds. According to EPA, it can carry on cruising for 519 miles (835 km) as long as you stick to standard 19” wheels. If you go for optional 21” rims it will cost you - and not just a bunch of cash - the range will drop to 469 miles (754 km).
The Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance ups the power to 1050hp and cuts the acceleration time down to 2.6 seconds. Its EPA range is estimated at 446 miles (717 km) - that’s a decent chunk more than Tesla S Long Range with its estimated 405 miles. The gloves are off. Both versions are powered by two dual motors, essentially four motors but Lucid puts two motors in one housing and makes them really compact. Each dual motor powers one axle. Top speed is the same for both models at 168mph.

Lucid’s Air Grand Touring Performance will do 0-60mph in 2.6s
New version of Californian EV is a 1,050bhp speed machine. Range? Up to 446 miles
Californian carmaker Lucid has revealed a new version of its Air EV, and it is one geared towards “maximum thrills”. The [deep breath] Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance is a 1,050bhp luxury electric saloon capable of 0-60mph in 2.6secs.
Very thrilling, though not quite as thrilling as Lucid’s own [deep breath] Air Dream Edition P, which is both more powerful (1,111bhp), and a fraction faster (0-60mph in 2.5secs). Still, sub-three seconds in a big luxury saloon is startling pace whichever way you cut it.
Lucid reckons on a range of 446 miles for the GTP, while new distinguishing features include “bespoke wheels and subtle badging”. All Air Grand Tourings get that wonderful glass canopy, a 34in glass cockpit in 5k resolution (better resolution than actual life), lots of driver assists including LIDAR, 21-speaker surround sound and a 900V fast charging system.

Read This: Lucid Using Office Staff And Amazon Parts To Assemble Cars
Current and former Lucid employees paint a picture of a "production hell" where 100-hour weeks and last-minute substitutions are just part of a larger problem.
It’s no secret that automakers are struggling right now. Supply-chain issues caused by large container ships blocking canals and that Canadian Convoy months back didn’t help an already suffering global supply thanks to factory shutdowns during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, a war waging overseas has also limited supplies and auto production. The domino effect is never-ending and on-going as of late and appears to be rearing its ugly head in the production of newer vehicles, especially for startups, like what’s happening with the Lucid Air.
Oddly, Lucid’s startup problems are a tiny bit expected, as the company still remains a startup and is fairly shiny and new in the hype of new automakers. It’s not expected to be an outright success from launch, especially in the midst of a supply crisis.
However, new information revealed by sources in an Insider article published this week reveals just how much extra work the company has had to do, and the substitutions it has had to make, to get its cars on the road sooner than later. Some, as a car person, are questionable to say the least.

Lucid Air electric saloon set for European launch in June
American company to sell luxury EV in Germany from June; right-hand drive and even faster models coming
Lucid has confirmed that it plans to begin its expansion into Europe this summer, and insiders have hinted that right-hand drive markets will follow.
Speaking exclusively to Autocar, a spokesman confirmed that the American EV maker will begin exporting cars to European and Middle Eastern buyers this "June or July" and then expand to China in 2023.
Lucid didn't explicitly confirm which markets it will export to first, but in a previous interview, an employee reportedly confirmed that Germany would be its first port of call.
Once established, sales will be rolled out in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Italy, Monaco, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and all-important Norway, where EVs dominate.

Lucid Air is coming to Europe with even more power
If you live in Europe and you were hoping to get your hands on Lucid Air - we've got some great news! Lucid officially confirmed that it will begin sales of the Air model in Europe this June or July at the latest. First to enjoy the Air will be Germany, then Austria closely followed by Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Italy, Monaco, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Norway. Quite a list but with one major market missing - the UK. Due to the extra development required the right-hand-drive Lucid Air has not been confirmed yet but we may hear more about it towards the end of the year with deliveries planned for 2023.
Just like all the automakers out there, whether EV or legacy, Lucid has been heavily hit by supply chain issues. The well reported chip shortages meant it had to lower the production targets from 20,000 down to 12,000 vehicles, this is testing the patience of the 25,000 customers who already ordered one of the cars. How exactly is Lucid going to meet the US market demand with added orders from Europe - we are not sure.

Lucid hikes prices, still struggles with production
Lucid's call with investors today revealed two important bits of news about the company. Let's start with the bad news and then go to the worse news. Lucid has produced 700 cars in the first quarter of this year.
That's January to March, three full months, and it's not a typo - we mean 700, not 700,000 or anything like that. Of those, it managed to deliver 360 cars to customers. That's ridiculous, plain and simple. And yet, there's "hope" - in April alone it managed to deliver a whopping 300 vehicles from its plant in Arizona. At this rate, Lucid will fulfill all of its 30,000 reservations in eight years.
But wait, there's also a very much expected and seemingly inevitable price hike! Following in the footsteps of, well, every other EV maker, Lucid has decided to finally take the plunge and make its vehicles even more expensive. If only it could also make make them...
Anyway, if you want to order a Lucid Air Grand Touring, it's going to cost you $154,000 (up from $139,000). The Air Touring is now $107,400 (up from $95,000), and the Air Pure is $87,400 (up from $80,000). Thankfully, the most expensive of the bunch, the Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance, has miraculously seen its $179,000 price tag remain unchanged.

Lucid officially expands into Europe with the Air Dream Edition starting at €218,000
Lucid's recently rumored expansion into Europe has been made official today, with a couple of models offered to existing reservation holders in Europe as an upgrade "to celebrate the launch of Lucid Air".
Don't get your hopes up, however, the company still can't make any significant number of cars - so this is going to be a "very limited number" of units. We don't even get an actual number this time around, unlike in North America where the Dream Edition versions were limited to 520 units.
This is no surprise considering that Lucid is currently able to make around 300 cars per month. Anyway, let's get into the specs on "offer" here. The Lucid Air Dream Edition Performance comes with dual motors that output 828 kW (1,111 hp) with 1,390 Nm of torque. Top speed is 270 km/h, and 0-100 km/h takes 2.7 seconds.

Lucid recalls 1,117 Air EVs for wiring issues
Lucid really can't get a break, it seems. The company is still struggling to actually manufacture any significant number of Air EVs, and on top of that it's now had to issue a recall for already sold models. Up to 1,117 already delivered Airs are potentially affected by what is described as a problem having to do with the ethernet wiring harness for the Glass Cockpit instrument panel. This harness may apparently not have been secured properly.
That can lead to the instrument panel being disabled and thus failing to show what the NHTSA describes as "critical information" such as the speedometer and warning lights, and all this can increase the risk of a crash.
"“The harness can become damaged by rubbing against another part of the vehicle, and disable the display screens. Disabled display screens will not show critical information, such as speed, gear selection indicators, warning lights, and other in-vehicle notifications, which can increase the risk of a crash", Lucid adds.
