Base Model

[Bablin]

What is everyone's guess for the base Air? My realistic estimate is over 415 but I hope it gets the 500-mile range. Let me know what you think.

415 sounds about right.
I wonder if they offer a single motor option with the 113kWh pack, if it could better the 517 miles?

I would think the Base would be just over 400 miles. By the time this Base Car comes out Tesla will be over 400 miles. I have to believe that the Base Car, unlike Tesla, will have a lot of Options. I’m curious to find out the difference between the $139k model and the $95k model. I presume the $95k model will have the 400 mile range to go along with the Base Car. Hopefully all of these questions will be answered. I asked my sales associate yesterday if the Configurator would be released tonight but he didn’t know.

When Tesla went from one to two motors in the Model S, the range actually increased as they could better modulate the motors for efficiency. I don't know if that would apply to the Lucid motors, however.

I think this reminded me of an interview Rawlinson gave E for Electric talking about the +/- on more motors.
