Pictures of Air Chassis, Motor and Battery

Looking to add pictures of chassis, motor and battery to the article based on my visit to Lucid Studio New York City. I welcome feedback on the caption and which section offers best placement.

Lucid Air chassis at Lucid Studio in New York City
Lucid Air Electric Drive Unit and Battery

Created cropped versions of the motor and battery to provide a close-up view of each. Decided that the original image offers more details on the specs so the wider view is my preferred choice:

Two photos added into "Overview" section related to the powertrain and batteries. DutchTreat (talk) 11:05, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article is missing production volumes: plans, capacity, actuals

The article on the Lucid Air—a car that has been in production and with commercial sales for a bit over three years now—is strangely missing any mention of production volumes.

What was planned? What capacity was designed/built into the production line? What production and/or delivery numbers have actually been achieved? In what markets? (US, North America, Europe, globally?) How have the actuals compared to plans? How has moving this vehicle to production been financially for the company? Does this vehicle, and this vehicle's manufacturing, accrue revenue that pays for the part of the production factory dedicated to this line? (e.g., Air revenue exceed COGS just for the Air itself?, even without accounting for CapEx, and SAGE of the company?).

So many questions. Much room to improve the article. N2e (talk) 02:49, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Efficiency

This article does not work outside the USA for energy consumption, it give Wh per mile whereas the rest of the world uses kWh per 100 km, this does not seem to work with the convert template. Any ideas? Avi8tor (talk) 20:51, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Try {{cvt|26|kWh/100mi|kWh/100km mpge}} which displays as 26 kWh/100 mi (16 kWh/100 km; 130 mpg‑e) Stepho talk 22:30, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article gives 5 mi/kWh (8.0 km/kWh) unfortunately the source link states "unplugged". If I plug in your suggestion it gives an error message "Cannot convert "length/energy" to "energy per unit length." Plus mpg-e is for US gallons. Avi8tor (talk) 07:40, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Try {{cvt|5|mi/kWh|km/kWh}} which displays as 5 mi/kWh (8.0 km/kWh)

Or {{cvt|5|mi|km}} per kWh which displays as 5 mi (8.0 km) per kWh

Not sure why you wanted 100km but for completeness {{cvt|5|mi/kWh|100km/kWh}} which displays as 5 mi/kWh (0.080 100 km/kWh)

mpg-e is a US only concept rarely used by any one else. So you can safely assume it is US gallons. Stepho talk 08:11, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

With internal combustion engines fuel economy is L/100km, with electric vehicles it's kW/100km which with the price of fuel, liquid or electric will also give you cost/100km. 2A01:CB19:814B:AB00:E455:4E7C:B4FE:8760 (talk) 10:59, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
