Lucid Motors, the renowned producer of high-end EVs, has announced its models will feature wireless CarPlay. This move has triggered speculations of a potential acquisition by Apple as the tech giant gears up to venture into the realm of self-branded automobiles.
LUCID AIR: INNOVATIONS IN LUXURY, STYLE, AND TECH
The Lucid Air has been widely praised for its innovation and sophistication, leading it to be voted the 2022 MotorTrend Car of the Year. With many innovations in luxury and style beyond Tesla, it provides a unique and distinct experience for owners. And it’s clear to see why: the Lucid Air boasts a big battery and compact motors, both of which have been designed in-house, giving it an edge over other EVs in the market. The Grand Touring Performance model can jump to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds, which is faster than most supercars, and yet can still sail on for an estimated driving range of 516 miles, according to the EPA.
This range is enough to get from Boston to Baltimore with leftover electrons, which is more than any other EV currently offers. Additionally, the Lucid Air’s stylish exterior and spacious cabin add to its desirability, making it a viable competitor for high-dollar EVs such as the Porsche Taycan, Mercedes-Benz EQS, and the Tesla Model S. Its software interface and almost all of the car’s controls are accessed through one of several display screens that dot the cabin, reminding us of Lucid’s Silicon Valley roots, now powered by CarPlay. And with the news that Apple is working on an all-new automotive operating system that will integrate deeply into EVs, it’s clear the Lucid Air will be a frontrunner and one to beat in the months ahead.
