No, close to production. The CEO has been giving test rides to media. Probably European orders in next couple of months, the US a bit later.

I don't see any EPA numbers listed in the article. the 5.2mi/kWhr is based on WLTP which is 22% higher on average than EPA. They quote 466 miles range for WLTP which translates to 363 EPA. I am not sure where the 399 EPA range came from.

The Concept was released in 2023, the car will be released in 2025 (as a 2026 model). The details shown were released today to clarify features of the production model.

LOL..... still shows how far ahead Lucid is when it comes to getting so much power etc. in such a small motor. After decades of engineering cars, this is the best Mercedes can do compared to the new kid on other block.
