There’s no question that technology is moving fast in the EV world. Solid state batteries will probably be the biggest game changer, but they probably won‘t be made in any meaningful quantity until 2026 at the earliest with modest commercialization in 2027. However, they should be safer and lighter hopefully endIng the trend toward super-heavy EV cars.
With that in mind, when do you think a car like the Lucid Air becomes obsolete, at least in its current incarnation? It has every feature one could conceivably want in a car (though heated steering wheels for non-Dream editions have yet to be confirmed. .) And it’s at the very top for range and efficiency, with only the 4680 Teslas as an immediate threat.
Even with the advent of solid state batteries, is there anything about the Lucid Air that will make it a has-been? Or is it a keeper for the long, long term?
