Incredible company with amazing future prospects!!

That is how a real engineer talks.

Much prefer him to Henrik Fisker Barnum

No PT Barnum system right 😉 how many cars did he say he will deliver in 2022 yet again then keeps cutting the n up numbers every quarters 😅.

@@rj8u how many cars did Fisker deliver? How many is fisker delivering in 2022- or 2023? Rawlinson and team made a sick product and Elon discrediting his abilities is sad juju

I might have gotten past Algebra.

You still can bud!

The market seems hungry for EV engineering info. Just look at the traffic the Munro channel gets. Here we get the data dump straight from the engineers themselves, from physical principle, to design intent, to mechanical design, to manufacturing. This is phenomenal. *Nobody* does this, laying out the "secret sauce". Bravo Lucid!

Reprehensible to present this as an educational video (not a stock pump) while omitting to mention the most important engineering fact: Lucid is running its motor at DOUBLE the Voltage of the Tesla Plaid motor. No they didn’t miraculously double the power density with neat wires and magnet placement. Chances are if one applied 924V to the Plaid motor it would out-perform the admittedly nice-looking Lucid contraption. Plus the Tesla doesn’t need a rear differential at all. It has independent motors for torque vectoring.

@@juliancox3229 This video is part of a series. In the battery pack tech talk he goes into some depth talking about the advantages of Lucids 900v architecture. If you would rather watch a stock pump video, there are numerous Hyperloop/Solar Shingle/Autonomy Day/Battery Day/Semi-Roadster-Cybertruck-Dancing Robot type videos on a different channel here on UKposts.

@@Miata822 Not impressed. These doubled motor performance figures are a function of doubled voltage, see physics. if you honestly believe Rawlingson can out Elon Elon and break the laws of physics X 2 with nice prefab motor coils alone, then I guess from you at least he has earned his Swiss watch.

@@juliancox3229 electric motors don't work that way, or even close. Maximum available voltage is only used to drive the motor at the highest end of the operating speed range, to overcome the back EMF which is proportional to speed and magnetic field strength, so having more voltage available would make no difference to the motor over most the speed range. At low speed power is limited by torque which is limited by the current and the magnetic field strength which the motor can withstand, as well as the current limit of the inverter. In the middle of the speed range the limitations are usually in the rest of the system, such as battery discharge rate and inverter power limits due to heat dissipation, but can also be limited by motor heat dissipation; this is the constant-power region explained in the video. If you applied extra voltage to the Tesla motor you would just get excessive current that it can't handle. Even a motor designed for higher voltage doesn't have much of an advantage: to use the twice the voltage it would have twice as many turns of wire with half of the wire cross-sectional size, carrying half the current... for the same magnetic field strength resulting in the same torque and power, and using the same electrical power. The upper speed limit doesn't change because with twice the number of winding turns it needs twice the voltage to reach the same speed against back EMF.

That sounds logical. Current trying to follow the frequency sounds backward.

Sold in the UK? They haven't even started selling here in the US, so wait sitting down for these ones friend. Great innovative technology and good looking cars but aside from being a bit pricier than the other *cough* American company..... come on just freaking say the name..Tesla!; Lucid is having a hard time mass production, they will eventually get it though. They just didn't heed a smart quote that said "Making prototypes is easy. Mass production is hard!"

@Richard Portillo Why don't you let Martin speak for himself and go worry about your own personal issues. He can certainly look forward and may eventually happen. Good luck.

I wish Tesla would disclose a peak HP figure and I wish both Tesla and Lucid would disclose peak RPM. I suspect the Tesla motor is actually capable of more peak hp and peak RPM. Though overall the lucid motor is clearly better.

@@bob15479 Tesla with Peak RPM... maybe the carbon fiber wrapped one, but remember that the only reason they had to do that is because of the rotor laminate design, which has floating laminate sections above the magnet "V" - that are essentially non-supported - and would detach at high RPM. Not so with the Lucid design.

​@@beforebefore That´s not the only reason for the carbon wrap. Any rotor will expand at very high rpm. Meaning you actually need extra distance between the stator and the rotor with the traditional design. The Lucid laminate shape is what you´ll find in other rotors. Chevy Bolt laminate is almost the same. One thing I disliked about this video is that they make these things sound like Lucid is the first that realized where to put the magnets or cooling. Nope, everyone knows closer is better. There are always compromises that influence the final design.

@@michalfaraday8135 Tesla designed a rotor with basically a floating segment that sits between the magnet pairs... bad design choice. This required the carbon fiber wrap, which is far more "increased diameter" than just material expansion at the nominal 20k RPM... no steel alloy material would expand that much at that RPM and survive. This allows Lucid to run much tighter coupling between stator and rotor for much better efficiency and power.

@@beforebefore If that was really the case, why would they do that? If you look at Model Y, the main magnets have the same position as Lucid. Chevy Bolt is even closer and has almost the same design as Lucid for all magnets. There is nothing special about the Lucid laminate profile.

I do hope that day is coming for you! Stay strong.

​@@Miata822 Thanks a lot

They Waited until they knew the OEMs who cared had already bought a lucid and torn it down.

Everything which is actually novel will be covered by patents, which are inherently (and very deliberately) public. And competitors and other interested parties buy and tear down everything available in production, so there are no secrets about physical designs.

production begins next month for Pure and Touring :) WOOT WOOT. - Lucid employee

Now you can have a 500hp law mower! Reverse the blade and it will be a hovercraft.

You can just see their excitement and passion. They are people that love every minute of their job. I wish them the best, and hope they continue revolutionizing EV.

​@@rami8896 These motors are so efficient, it has allowed Lucid to have the longest ranges that Tesla can never hope to beat. Now is time for Lucid to apply these advanced motors to build standard ranges and smaller cars that can be built much cheaper. Just imagine, 500 hp cars with 300 mile ranges. It will beat all the SUV EVs in price and performance.

I was thinking exact the same

Im becoming a lucid customer before I lost both rear drive units in my plaid within 6 weeks of one another and tesla could seemingly care less about me making 2 $1500 car payments for a brick

The CF wrap looks like a Band-Aid solution. The internal differential and dual transmission solution is really amazing.

@@pasad335 a band aid solution? 😂 the fastest accelerating production sedan in the world uses 3 of those band aids. And recently went 217mph unlocked. A car you can buy TODAY with even LESS hp and tq than the lucid air dream perf it stomps all over btw. 👍🏻😎

@@4literv6 We took delivery last August of a Model S Plaid to replace our 2015 P90D, and we took delivery at the end of December of our Lucid Air Dream Performance. The Plaid is marginally quicker than the Lucid, but the Lucid handles better (especially under hard acceleration in which the Plaid front end goes light) with a more compliant suspension, has considerably more interior room and luxury, and -- unlike the Plaid which started developing creaks and groans around 8.000 miles -- is solid as a rock at 10,500 miles. If that's your definition of stomping the Air, then yeah . . . the Plaid stomps the Air.

@@4literv6 i guess we will see once Lucid’s tri motor variant, Sapphire, comes to market with its significantly better performance figures.

Surely can. Lucid optimise the design and dimensions for a luxury EV with ground breaking range and power. Lucid has achieved them, beating Tesla by a huge margin, but the luxury elements cost too much. By removing luxury, sticking to items that are easily mass produced, like these motors, there is no reason to doubt that Lucid can beat Tesla in price and performance. Elon has alienated the very best engineers on earth, sticking only on obedient and hard working engineers. This is the price of Tesla's egos.

They said it without saying it 😂😂
