    Gravity or....

    The Purosangue is a RX-8 on stilts. In other words it is not really an SUV. I am 95% confident Gravity will have at minimum the functionality of a Mercedes EQS SUV.

    Project Gravity (Lucid Motors SUV) Page Now Live

    The EQS SUV 450+ starts at $104.4k while the 580 4Matic Pinnacle starts at $132.2k. There will be options on top of that. A fully loaded Ioniq 5 is $58k. I estimate a fully loaded Ioniq 7 at $68k A BEV Genesis G80 sedan comes in one trim fully loaded at $80k. A Genesis G90 ICE sedan starts...

    Project Gravity (Lucid Motors SUV) Page Now Live

    ~6 months later the Genesis version should be on sale, the GV90. The GV90 will be more akin in functionality and luxury to Gravity. Kia EV9 is said to be 194" long and 81" wide. Originally the Koreans said it would be a direct competitor to Tahoe, Yukon and Escalade standard length but they...

    Sapphire Reveal

    Lucid Sapphire - Extra Throttlehouse Video

    From Sandy's POV the game changer is cost. What does it cost to produce a 4680 Model Y vs a 2170 Model Y? LFP is cheaper because it doesn't use nickel and cobalt. But you can stick in LFP chemistry inside a 4680 cell as well.

    Lucid Sapphire - Extra Throttlehouse Video

    I don't know. Ford fired Sandy back in the day. AFAIK Ford doesn't contract Munro and Associates, but has recently invited Sandy to Ford events. There are half a dozen networks shittier than EA. Starting with ChargePoint and EVgo. Youtubbers gotta eat and pay rent. After You Tube slashed...

    Lucid Sapphire - Extra Throttlehouse Video

    Peter said 4680 is a size specification. And the size specification isn't a technology breakthrough. Which is true. There are other specifications of the Tesla made 4680 cell that is new.

    Lucid Sapphire - Extra Throttlehouse Video

    Not only is Alex not pro Tesla, Alex makes vicious personal attacks on Elon. I am not going to repeat them. Alex currently drives an ID.4, has a bromance with Herbert Diess and up until VW fired Herbert was very high on VW. Alex thinks GM should fire Mary and hire Herbert. OTOH Sandy is very...

    Lucid Sapphire - Extra Throttlehouse Video

    You have this backwards. Lucid ran TV commercials on CNBC and did one ad on Saturday Night Live. When Elon was hosting. Tesla has never done TV commercials. They have produced "testimonials" and we are now selling Teslas in X country vids. They put those on their website and Youtube. But...

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Grand Touring

    The Tesla Roadster that is quoted as being just as fast is the 2 seater with SpaceX package at $250k. The base 2+2 is $200k. That was not quoted at 1.9 0-60. Those prices were pre-pandemic. Pricing will almost certainly change. Maybe specifications as well.

    New Variant coming....

    Ferrari will hold its value better..... If you don't drive it. And make it a garage queen. Lucids are meant to be daily drivers. Show me a Ferrari with 100k miles that has not been fully remanufactured/restored and I will show you an almost worthless vehicle.

    Sapphire Reveal

    I wish this site would a allow a thumbs down or disagree. But no, it is not an unnecessary distraction. "Best car in the World" High ASP, not high losses per vehicle, and demonstration that Lucid can build more than 1 or 2 variants of the Air at the same time will be very helpful for next...

    New Variant coming....

    Rimac also has a top speed of 256 mph and has a production run of 150 units. And is meant primarily for track. Aside from rolling down Rodeo Drive and Avenue Princesse Grace. I think my numbers are very reasonable on a platform with intended capacity of ~35k units per year and the top variant...

    Here is vid with the sound from the reveal.

    New Variant coming....

    Lucid can use the same standard. VMT prepared track with 1 foot roll out. 1.85 seconds to 60 and 8.99 1/4 mile sounds about right.

    Dodge's future EV - Sweet looking!

    It sounds like an angry vacuum cleaner. Not pleasing. Max level is 126 dB. 120 dB can cause permanent ear damage.

    Motor Trend Car of the Year again

    GM is partnering with EVgo to create Pilot. And Tesla is opening up the Supercharger Network. Tesla may reserve the most congested stations for Tesla owners only.

    Motor Trend Car of the Year again

    Addendum : With Biden signing the IRA bill yesterday there is now a subsidy program to install dc fast charging in "disadvantaged communities." Anyone interested in details can google the Inflation Reduction Act and read it.

    Motor Trend Car of the Year again

    There isn't a "program." It is part of the Dieselgate settlement VW Group had with the Dept of Justice. You can google for the settlement and read the details if you wish.
