Thanks to human craftsmanship, Lucid Air Dream Edition shows impressive initial build quality

As Lucid Air Dream Edition finally began its first delivery more than a year after its unveiling, the first batch of products from the automaker demonstrated impressive manufacturing quality due to Lucid's attention to fine craftsmanship. The spacious and luxurious interior is also full of the Air Dream Edition's interior, giving the impression that the first car owner was very satisfied with what he got after a long wait.

Vivianna Van Deerlin is one of the first owners of Lucid Air Dream Edition, and she participated in the unveiling ceremony in California on October 30, 2021. Although Van Dillin attended the ceremony on the West Coast, which included breakfast, numerous speeches by Lucid executives, and a trunk full of Lucid-inspired goodies, she was a resident of New Jersey and was in the first few hours. 3,000 miles on the car was not what she planned. The car was then transported to New Jersey, where she planned to pick up the goods soon.

However, a video taken by Van Deerlin at the Lucid Delivery Event in California shows the impressive build quality of Airports in its early versions, which may be the reason why the car won MotorTrend's "Car of the Year" award. Lucid has specified that the first few units of Air will be manufactured by hand. In March of this year, Lucid detailed the tedious but necessary process of eliminating automation and introducing humans to make cars. It eliminates the uncertainty of mass production. Although there are fewer units that can be built, the quality is unparalleled. "At this stage of the process, it's not about robots, but more about hands-on human elements. It's all carefully choreographed," Lucid wrote on his blog. "We do have some robots, and we also have automation, but this car is assembled by humans. It requires real craftsmanship," said Art Schlaud, General Assembly manufacturing director.

If the Air Dream Edition delivery event tells us anything, it is that Lucid has brought its best vehicles to the forefront in its shiny and beautiful delivery event. The car is almost flawless, and the exterior is almost as beautiful as the interior.

Van Dillin may be one of the most qualified people on earth to make the first impression of electric cars. She said that in 2009, Van Deerlin was the holder of the Model S reservation and received an S85 in December 2012. There is no infrastructure, no super charging stations, and electrification is still far from the mainstream. "It was a gamble at the time, but we firmly believed in the mission of transforming the world into sustainable energy, so we are happy to be an early adopter of Tesla and help spread the word," Van Dearling said.

Lucid's competitive nature, which includes a lot of mention of rival Tesla, is no different to Van Deerlin. "Purchasing Lucid Air will not diminish my enthusiasm for Tesla cars, energy products and the Tesla community. I like our Model 3, Model S and Roadster. For truly believing in Tesla’s mission, not just from special For those making money from Sla stock, the success of more than one electric car company is imperative. I see the future of the transition to electric cars — but I don’t see everyone driving the future of Tesla," she said. Said on YouTube.

Manufacturing quality is a term familiar to many Tesla enthusiasts because it has been a hot topic in the media for some time. A few years ago, Tesla has been working hard to improve manufacturing quality when upgrading the Model 3. Previously, in the case of early manual modification of the Model S, Tesla enjoyed a well-built car reputation. CEO Elon Musk has always said that "production is difficult," and Lucid may experience this lesson when it starts mass production of the Air sedan or the upcoming "Project Gravity" SUV in a few years. The real question is whether Lucid can maintain this impressive build quality while beginning to expand its manufacturing process. Past experience tells us that automakers often strive for perfect manufacturing quality while balancing thousands of cars every day.

Nevertheless, Lucid still brought the first impression of A-game. Check out the Van Deerlin video about the delivery experience below.
