R1S ride quality is significantly better than Model X. I don't think the point is even disputable.

Then you should be driving a subcompact with a 25 kWh -45 kWh pack. Not a Lucid Air, Rivian SUV, or Tesla. Climate change is a scientific problem that requires a scientific solution. We need to transition the global economy to carbon free renewable energy. Climate change is not a religious...

You don't need luck. You need a big pack. GM has been conservative with their range ratings on Ultium. F150 Lightning big pack is 131 kWh. Not easy peasy.

Motor Trend, Car & Driver, and other outlets are saying 1234 hp. HP is limited by how much energy can be pulled from the battery not how much power the motors can make.

Backwards. 2/3 sales for X and 1/3 for S. S peaked in ~2017 when it crested over 50k units. Tesla no longer offers right hand drive S/X and there are so many more direct competitors. Gravity will not really cannibalize Escalade/IQ sales. Gravity will draw from Cayenne- Audi Q7/8, Q8...

Obviously it will have a huge battery. 212 kWh with 200 kWh useable. On 350 kW charger it will take a few more minutes. DC fast charging from 0-100% is for dummies. You charge enough to get home or the next charger. On a Signet DC Fast charger derated to 50 kW both Gravity and Escalade will...

It has a 12 cubic foot frunk AND 450 miles of range. Don't see evidence you can do that with ICE chassis.

Most Americans don't think there is brand placement gap between $50k and $80k. Or even $150k. This is where luxury automotive brands compete. Lucid already competes with $200B behemoths. VW Group's Audi, Porsche, Bentley, Toyota's Lexus, GM's Cadillac, Ford's Lincoln, Hyundai's Genesis, Tata's...

Business in the Front. Party in the Middle. After-Party in the Back!

More than 75% of BEVs on American roads are Teslas. 6 would be fine for now if they are all worked at rated speed 97% plus of the time. Being out of service for months while Superchargers are down 3 business days at most is unacceptable. When a Supercharger goes down Tesla HQ knows about...

EA doesn't need to be replaced. Likely, more and better competition for non-Tesla BEV customers will make it better.

There aren't 2 gas station networks.

I hope Lucid installs " Oh Sh!t" handles for the front passenger. They are gonna need it.

Model S is the most conventional design in the Tesla lineup. Looks like a Jaguar or Maserati. It has gone through three different looks. Nose-Cone. Post Nose-Cone. And the current most aerodynamic iteration which I call Bulbous. Original Model S was AC induction motor rear wheel drive with...

GM has a 70k plus waiting list for the Hummer EV which is more inefficient than the Cadillac IQ if for no other reason the massive offroad tires. And it is also 6.67" wider than the Silverado EV. Escalade IQ will be at least thrice as efficient as ICE Escalade.

This is a straw man argument. Is anyone saying Gravity will be a mass produced vehicle? Lucid doesn't have the scale to mass produce right now. Model X probably sells over 2X what the Model S does. Tesla refuses to tell us the sales mix. Gravity should follow suit and sell over twice as...

EV tech can't be reduced to simply voltage. Although that is an important metric. In any case, the imminent release of Cybertruck will likely reveal a battery pack close to 1000v. BTW I don't dream of the Saudi's owning the American vehicle fueling infrastructure of the future.

Why buy an outdated car with a future proof port instead of a car with a future proof battery pack with an outdated port? You can get an adapter to overcome the port issue. You can't upgrade the current Tesla pack to 800v Plus.

Peter said Superchargers need to charge at 800v plus before Lucid considers changing. That could be as soon as this September. The writing is on the wall. Everyone selling cars inside the USA will switch to NACS eventually.

It is better to have the Pure buyers run than the Dream and GT buyers run. Build the top spec versions first. Hopefully the ramp up the second time around isn't as slow. They have experience now.
