For comparison, a Mercedes S-Class hasВ 18.7В cubic feetВ ofВ trunk space (529 liters), and that's considered very good for the class. Speaking of which, we recently reported that due to Lucid's 'Space Concept' architecture, it will have the largest cabin in its class as well as the most luggage space of any vehicle, ICE or electric, withВ 26.1 cubic feet (739 liters) of luggage space. The entire roof is glass and provides plenty of natural light, it also serves to optimize the space in the cabin by increasing passenger headroom and adding to the spaciousness on the Air's cabin. Over time, the system will add even more features via over-the-air (OTA) updates.

The system will also allow for vehicle control features including adjusting the climate system. Owners will be able to use Alexa for navigation, phone calls and messaging, streaming media, smart home control, as well as adding items to a shopping cart or to-do list. Additionally, Lucid has partnered with Amazon to implement an advanced version of Alexa Built-In into the Air. In addition to the digital displays, there are several highly tactile, precision-milled physical controls, including ribbed turbines on the steering wheel, a volume control roller, and alloy toggle switches to adjust the climate control system. The Air's display is more than twice as long as the Taycan's and is broken up into three distinct content sections. In my time with the Porsche Taycan, I really enjoyed its beautiful 16.8-inch curved driver's display.

In front of the driver sits a huge 34-inch, curved glass 5K display that appears to float above the dashboard.

Lucid tells us the interior of the Lucid Air 'reflects a revolution in how next-generation free form displays are elegantly integrated into the design architecture of the cabin, providing a beautiful and seamless way of interacting with the vehicle software and human-centric user interface.'

Although the Air won't start series production for another nine months or so, it appears they are about to achieve all of those lofty goals. Headed by Peter Rawlinson, the chief engineer on the TeslaВ Model S, the company set out to develop an electric sedan that was more efficient, more comfortable, faster charging, more aero-efficient, has more interior volume and luggage space, would be faster on the drag strip and had a longer driving range than the Tesla Model S.

Lucid, however, is entirely another story. Porsche developed an electric car to live up to its own standards, not the standards of any other car company вЂ“ that's the Porsche way. The Taycan was always just supposed to be an electric Porsche. You might ask, but what about the Porsche Taycan, wasn't that supposed to be the real 'Tesla killer'? No, it definitely wasn't.
