According to a press release from Lucid Motors about its Lucid Air Sapphire

[{"selector":"#anim-62fd7986-943b-4e37-ab38-70b22ec94a65 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.514648210040342%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0e477b96-158c-498b-9b5a-443d83c5b1cd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0e5b5f68-b6c1-44f9-a01a-55cc81381117","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

the plug-in super hatchback is expected to blaze past a model S Plaid for quarter-mile performance.

[{"selector":"#anim-bbb6928d-f3db-409c-bd8b-eaba2462f6ba [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.514648210040342%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9e521a5a-b499-4507-a95e-457ceb4c74f6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f470305c-d04c-4bac-b250-646df5ae94a4","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Interestingly, Lucid Motors has not actually provided an accurate performance number for the Air Sapphire

[{"selector":"#anim-c04a8787-8fd8-416a-b091-a9be7185ca27 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-29ab7c5f-c8c8-488f-b583-74ebe834df4e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e231d45b-81fa-4e98-9e11-6a3191a85f79","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

leaving folks wondering how their newest offering will compare with Teslas Model S Plaid in the real world.

[{"selector":"#anim-20deb890-851f-463f-babf-3a6fe0d90c46 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.25331847031666%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-04341ef9-a0fe-497c-a46c-b8d5dcaaf483","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bb3aa377-91bd-4b9f-8096-f740570af6cb","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

In fact, the Lucids Air Sapphires higher charging speed gives it a full 300 miles worth of charging in just 20 minutes

[{"selector":"#anim-bc8338b0-6ccf-4405-bfd8-057ee7d5bf08 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(7.812499744007886%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3a4d56e8-ba8e-4a6c-80cc-f7c4b2930e87","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-59ada20d-1caa-4733-b53e-6eae294343c2","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

putting it on par with the well-known Tesla Model S Plaid.

[{"selector":"#anim-18ea40ae-0bc6-49fb-9c3a-2549e680e042 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d4efd6c4-124d-41d4-80e5-b89e9f9f002e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cfeb2581-0b2f-4b2d-9edb-69d5c7ccb1c5","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The look of the Sapphire gives off an understated feel, while it also alerts you to prepare to buckle in extra tightly

[{"selector":"#anim-948b0e87-c46b-4f58-b05e-7c95742af86b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(23.505012775840058%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-772df0c0-f88a-4c11-a525-0281b3de9c54","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c180fc1e-ceff-4e69-8230-40bb360bd244","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

because at top speed of 205 miles per hour, the Lucid Air Sapphire does not let up.

[{"selector":"#anim-6b507dd6-f112-4bb0-ba4a-da6fdacd106a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.514648210040342%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8d1a0cf5-6ed4-4dce-9959-51af5fa9dd91","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-14066525-425f-4eb1-8447-36714dfd38a1","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Folks have been waiting for the Tesla-versus-Lucid comparison ever since the Air debuted last year

[{"selector":"#anim-fa298fa4-3363-473c-aa9e-82b0c623caa3 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.514648210040342%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cc9af374-7f92-44bc-b942-f278566946df","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bcf1c6a3-98db-410b-abc9-a180073f50bb","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

but with the cars price at the top and Lucids deliveries so far few, the matchup with the model S plaid has not been an easy one.
