A Lucid electric vehicle (EV) didn't fare well in a rigorous test conducted by MotorTrend.
The testers noted the sudden "loud bang" emitted by a Lucid Air Grand Touring luxury car during testing. They also experienced a loss of power while driving the luxury EV. The testers were driving an electric vehicle that won the auto magazine's 2022 Car of the Year award, which costs around $125,600 brand new.
Writer Erick Ayapana detailed his account of the EV failure that happened several months ago in an article published on Oct. 17. According to Ayapana, what "was supposed to be a fun and routine test" of the EV turned into "an hours-long ordeal."
The testers began instrumented testing with 60-0 miles per hour (mph) braking. The Lucid executed six of these tests, along with one additional test going from 100 to 0 mph, with no issues.
