my only question is have these passed NHSTA crash testing?
IF this is real, that is some impressive range. |

Lucid seems to be doing it right. I just wonder how large the 100k plus EV market is? That demographic is probably a good niche to get their manufacturing and support figured out, but it will be interesting to see if they make it. From what i have been told Lucid really knows how to design and setup manufacturing.
The EV market will start to get crowded soon hope they make it. |

Should they have passed all the NHTSA tests before they're even allowed to sell to customers? |

I have a reservation for the Lucid Air just to drive one. They claim that the battery pack is 113kWh I would really love to see a tear down of one them. It seems that Lucid will be a Porsche Taycan and Mercedes EQS competitor at that price point.

Um, it’s more of a Maybach and 7 series competitor. Their aim isn’t leisure track performance.

Lucid HQ is 2 miles away from my home; I have been seeing their cars in and around the neighborhood for over a year now. The car is real and it's kind of a huge bish too.

That’s because their demographic target market is the upper class maybach and 7 series customers. The ceo has stated this several times. It’s not some performance Taycan or Plaid series vehicle.

Hopefully, Maybach / S-class / 7 series customers haven't all moved on to large luxury SUVs. Regardless, they should be able to find plenty of customers in the Bay Area. |

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if you see a ton of Lucid vehicles become personal chauffeur vehicles to the upper class. Yeah, I see normal upper class people owning them too but this would make a great vehicle for those with personal drivers.

So this isn't vaporware like everyone has been saying about Nikola?
Looks pretty sweet on their website with damn impressive specs. Of course for the money it should be. |

Lucid is not vaporware. I actually like that they offer a lot for the money and even thought this boat is not a performance oriented sedan still run something like 1:32-33 at laguna seca with a tri-motor prototype. |

Only way I’d buy a lightening or Rivian is with the tax credit. I do agree though, above $90k and the tax credit should probably disappear. If you can afford that much car, $7k won’t sway you.

They expect a 5 star rating, but it has not been made official as far as I can see. |

They do not look as well put together as the Rivian Trucks to my eye... but I will wait for reviews.

Kinda surprised they delivered customer vehicles before Rivian. No, I don't count the Rivian's delivered to employees. We'll see if this was just a PR stunt to be able to say they delivered to customers in 21 or if they can keep it up and increase launch cadence.
