Sober? The release of Air is a bit eye-catching. Although its detailed performance data have been published before, EPA's battery life is 565,438+07 miles (more than 800 kilometers), the quarter-mile acceleration time is 9.9 seconds, and the battery pack is 65,438+065,438+03 kWh, more than 300 is acceptable? The fast charging ability of kW power and the improvement of 300-mile cruising range in 20 minutes have made electric vehicle enthusiasts climax before the release of various performance data of Tesla.
What else does it have to say at the press conference at 4 pm Pacific time on September 9?
selling price
And time to market.
As Lucid, the most famous new car-making force before? Motors was founded by rawlinson Peter, a former Tesla executive. Rawlinson founded and led it, and Jia Yueting and BAIC Group are its investors, but now they have sold their shares.
Lucid released four versions of Air, which were released in 202 1 and 2022 respectively.
Initially, 202 1 the second season, Air? Shanda? Tours and aerial dreams? What is the promotion price of Edition? 139000 and $? 169,000。
Then 202 1 fourth quarter, Air? Tourist models start at $95,000. Finally, in 2022, Lucid will provide the most affordable version of the car, referred to as Air. The start-up cost of this aircraft will be less than $80,000, and no other details about its performance or scope are provided.
Sober? There will be four versions of Air: basic version base? The air price is 80,000 US dollars (about 5,464.64 million yuan); Air? Tour 95,000 US dollars (about 648,926 yuan); Air? Shanda? Touring is $ 654.38+0.39 million (about 949.48 1 RMB); Air? Dream? The version is 169000 USD (about 1 154405 RMB).
The starting price is $80,000, which is lower than that of Porsche Taycan.
Are you a little disappointed to see this quotation and listing time?
Based on the cheapest basic version, the price of RMB is as high as 546,500 yuan. Even if this cheapest model comes into the market at the latest, it will have to wait until 2022, and its cruising range, which is also the most taboo of Tesla, is still uncertain in this version.
Lucid said, Lucid? The main model of the Air series will be the Air travel version (air? Touring) and Air travel edition (air? Shanda? Tour) two models.
Air? The power of the tour is 620? Hewlett-Packard and Air? Shanda? What is the power of the nomads 180? HP, total power 800? Hewlett-Packard Company.
Air? Shanda? The Touring model will provide the longest mileage of 832 kilometers, but one of the two models costs 650,000 RMB and the other is close to 950,000 RMB. The listing time will wait until the middle of 202 1 year at the latest. If China consumers choose, plus tariffs, its cost performance will be greatly reduced.
However, the United States also has tax incentives for electric vehicles, dream? Edition version, after federal tax reduction, the price starts at $65,438+0,665,438+0,500, while Shanda Travel version, after federal tax reduction, sells for less than $65,438+0,000,000.
See the following table for specific prices:
At present, its appointments have been opened to customers in the United States and Canada, as well as some countries in Europe and the Middle East, and the dream limited production has been reserved. Does Edition need to pay in dollars? 7,500? The deposit is refundable in US dollars. Other versions require a deposit of $65,438+0,000, which can also be refunded.
From this point of view, its impact on Tesla can be ignored for the time being. 12 days later, Tesla battery day, Musk may pull back a game in battery life and charging efficiency.
But purely in terms of price, for American consumers, Lucid? Does the price of Air compare with that of Porsche Taycan? Starting price $ 103800, Tesla model? S's starting price of $74,990 is not completely hopeless, and it will hurt Porsche even more from the pricing point of view. As far as its battery life is concerned, it is not good for Model. The United States also maintains its advantage.
Even with these flaws, the outside world is not interested in Lucid? Air's praise still far exceeds that of Porsche Taycan, and it is considered to be the first electric car to surpass Tesla.
"Taycan is considered to be just an electric Porsche. Porsche develops electric cars to meet its own standards, not those of any other car company. This is the way of Porsche. "
And Lucid is made of Tesla model? The chief engineer of S set out to develop an electric car, which will be more efficient, more comfortable, faster to charge, more fuel-efficient, with larger internal volume and luggage space, faster speed, lower air resistance and mileage than Tesla models? S is longer.
Here is a detailed introduction to the release information of this model:
Internal digital cockpit
Sober? Air's cockpit internal structure "reflects the revolution of how the next generation of free-form displays are elegantly integrated into the cabin design architecture, providing a beautiful and seamless way to interact with vehicle software and people-oriented user interface."
In front of the driver is a huge 34-inch curved glass 5K display screen, which feels like floating on the dashboard. There is also a central control panel. This central control panel is retractable, and there is a storage box under the screen. Isn't this a good design?
In addition to digital display, there are various physical controllers with high touch and precision grinding, including the ribbed turbine on the steering wheel, the volume control wheel and the alloy toggle switch for adjusting the climate control system.
In addition, Lucid also cooperated with Amazon to create a built-in advanced version of Aira.
Car owners can use Alexa system launched by Amazon to navigate, make and receive calls and messages, stream media and control smart homes, and also add goods to shopping carts or to-do lists.
The system also allows the vehicle to adjust the climate system. At the same time, it has OTA air upgrade, and the update adds more functions.
This kind of cooperation with China's own brand and Ali Zebra System or Tmall Elf.
The whole roof is made of glass, which can provide enough natural light, which is very similar to Tesla. This design can increase the passenger's head space, increase the spaciousness of the carriage, and thus optimize the carriage space. According to statistics, because of Lucid's "space concept" architecture, it has the largest cabin in its class and the largest luggage compartment space among all vehicles: 26. 1 cubic foot (739 liters) of space luggage space.
In contrast, the trunk space of Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan is 18.7 cubic feet (529 liters), which can be said to be the advantage of pure electric architecture and the interior space is larger.
external
Lucid's space concept architecture not only includes the miniaturization of electric drive system and battery pack, but also extends the cabin forward and backward, giving the air a unique appearance.
"For a car of this size, Lucid? The proportion of air is unique because your hood is short, your cabin is long and your suitcase is short. " Sober? Derek, vice president of automotive design? Jenkins said.
Lucid said: "The concept of space" is Lucid? Air brings a subtle differentiated design, which does not depend on any traditional car model, but provides a beautiful car that looks completely different.
Sober? The design of Air really amazed car lovers. The drag coefficient of extremely smooth body is only 0.2 1, which is lower than that of Tesla model. The drag coefficient of S is 0.24, which is three points lower.
Sober? Air? The Dream Edition will be equipped with 265,438+0-inch AeroDream wheels or smaller 65,438+09-inch wheels, which can provide an additional 38 miles rated by the EPA.
Batteries and charging
Lucid is called Tesla killer, and its core technology is its battery technology, which may be related to Lucid's formula? E exclusive supplier of racing battery technology, Lucid designs and manufactures all formulas? E car battery pack, and Lucid is also a formula? E racing car provides battery management system.
Sober? What is the battery module and formula used by Air? E uses a slightly different battery module. It is optimized for the air model. Peter, CEO of Lucid? Rawlinson called these two different modules "close relatives".
Sober? The air battery has 22 modules, and the energy storage capacity of each module is slightly higher than 5? Kwh, add up to 1 13? Kwh battery pack, better model than Tesla? 100 used in s? KWh battery pack is much bigger.
Its battery system adopts 924 volt system, which is the highest voltage among all EV batteries currently produced.
1 13 kWh large battery pack, plus industry-leading efficiency, Lucid? Air? Shanda? Tour? Edition's EPA rated cruising range reaches an astonishing 5 17 miles, or 832 kilometers.
But high battery life sometimes means longer charging time, so Lucid? Air can accept more than 300? The charging power of kW exceeds that of Porsche Taycan's 270? KW and Tesla models? 3 and y? 250? KW power.
Sober? Peter, CEO and CTO of automobile company? When talking about Lucid's battery and powertrain technology, rawlinson said, "I can't overemphasize that all these are 100% revolutionary technologies. But 100% is internally generated. "
This charging power can increase the cruising range by 20 miles (32 kilometers) per minute and supplement the cruising range by 300 miles (483 kilometers) in 20 minutes.
But it should be noted that with 300? KW charging, car owners need to find a DC fast charging station that can provide such a large amount of electricity, but there are not many such charging stations in the United States, and of course there are not many in China.
Electrify, an American charging service provider? America network currently has about 350 power stations in the United States, which can provide 300? KW power, at present, more ultra-high-speed DC fast chargers will be deployed every month, and the infrastructure is becoming more and more mature.
Sober? One striking function of the aerial model is its two-way charging ability from the vehicle to the power grid. Sober? Air owners can use their vehicles to supply power to their houses during power failure, and even provide all power for potential off-grid holiday properties.
For home charging, Lucid? Air can use AC charging equipment up to 19.2? Power charging kilowatts. Lucid will provide an 80 amp "connected home charging station", which will provide 19.2? Kilowatt power, and can also communicate with the air and allow two-way power flow from the vehicle to the home.
For domestic consumers, it is more realistic to barbecue and listen to music in the wild through this function.
Semi-automatic driving function
According to Lucid? The car company claims that Lucida? Air will be the first electric vehicle with advanced sensor kit, high-resolution lidar, driver monitoring system and fully redundant platform as standard equipment for all models.
In an earlier foreign media interview, Lucida? The air is equipped with 125 line lidar.
Coincidentally, at the beginning of this year, a domestic lidar company also released a 125 solid-state lidar. The laser radar adopts MEMS micro-vibration mirror technology, which has high stability and controllability, and has the scanning effect of 125 line under the vertical field of view angle of 25, and its wiring harness can be comparable to the mechanical laser radar (128 line) with the highest wiring harness published in the world at present.
It is worth mentioning that the frame rate of lidar is from 10? FPS increased to 15? In multi-sensor fusion system, FPS can reduce the influence of point cloud distortion caused by target motion, improve the accuracy of target recognition and target tracking, and improve the response speed of the system.
Lucid's DreamDrive technology suite supports 19 safety, driving and parking assistance functions, which will be included in the model at the beginning of production.
The other eight functions are expected to be deployed through OTA updates in the future.
Sober? Air is sold with L2 autopilot function, but L3 autopilot function needs to be developed later.
The main intelligent driving functions provided by DreamDrive are as follows:
Security:
Look around monitoring, blind spot display, cross traffic protection, traffic sign recognition, automatic emergency braking, reminding distracted or sleepy drivers.
Driving:
Full speed road assistance (adaptive cruise control and lane centering), traffic departure alarm, headlight assistance.
Automatic parking:
Autonomous parking assistance, extraction control, motor comfortable braking
High performance version
There was another piece of good news last week. Sober? The CEO and CTO of Motor introduced the rear drive system of Air, which is equipped with two drive units and can provide 1300 horsepower for the rear wheels. This confirms the rumor that the company is developing a three-motor performance version of Air.
* awake air three-motor performance model during testing.
Considering the dual-motor Air? Dream? The power of the version is 1, 080? HP, which can run a quarter mile in 10 second, can imagine that the function of the "performance version" of three motors must be even more amazing. Rawlinson (Peter? Rawlinson) promised "Lucid? Air? The performance version will be released at the end of 20021.
Foreign media speculated that this model will break the record of all production cars and achieve an acceleration of nearly 9 seconds and a quarter of a mile. If it reaches this speed, it will beat Tesla's sports car toaster.
* rawlinson is sober? High-performance version of rear drive unit
Rawlinson explained that Air's extremely compact engine can be used for many purposes. Not only do they allow a very compact design, which can accommodate two drive units side by side, but they are smaller and lighter than any competitors' motors.
He further explained that the powertrain of Air is actually close to 2.5 times that of competitors, which allows more interior space and lighter body weight, thus improving efficiency and driving distance.
Rawlinson even claimed that Lucid's technology is far superior to any current electric vehicle, including "industry leader".
He said that anyone can increase the "dumb range" by using a huge battery pack. But Lucid is much more efficient than any other electric car. They have an efficiency advantage of 65,438+07%: "Compared with our nearest competitors, our cars consume 65,438+07% less energy within a certain distance".
Lucid's technology "is similar to Lucid's battery technology in cost performance, its value can reach 20%, and it can be used today."
What if you're awake? Air has indeed reached the EPA rating of 565,438+07 miles published by Lucid, which will be more efficient than the current industry leaders.
Like a model? S reached EPA level at 402 miles, with 100? Kwh battery. This is 4.02 miles/kWh (15.42 kWh/? 100 km). Air? Shanda? Can you travel 1 13? KWh's battery pack travels 5 17 miles, which is equivalent to 4.58 miles /kWh (13.55? Kwh? /? 100 km).
Absence of SUV model
Slightly disappointed, Beijing time is awake this morning? The air release activity did not release the Lucid of the air platform? Any word on the SUV? However, some pictures of concept cars can already be found online.
Here we also publish some picture information of this model together.
Sober? Does the air surprise you?
For foreign electric car enthusiasts, this model seems a bit far away because it will wait until next year. The most disappointing thing is that they have not indicated whether to sell to the China market.
Tesla killer is a title used by many car manufacturers. At present, are you awake? The air seems to be closer to it.
In the American market, Lucid is also building a direct experience store, and its factory is also proceeding step by step. Obviously, however, it has not made progress in the layout of China market.
