Re:Lucid Motors unveils the Air, a new luxe electric car wit... by hwillis on Thursday December 15, 2016 @01:07AM (#13182784)
If they are guessing at NEDC measurements then they are claiming 19 miles more than a Model S of the same battery size, and 250 more horsepower. If they expect 400 miles EPA rated range, then they are expecting 30% more range than a P100D. Which, frankly, is ridiculous. They're also claiming full autonamous hardware and coming software, which is highly suspect. I also am wary of the fact that so much of the car looks explicitly like a Tesla. Center console screen, model 3 roof, Tesla-like nose, Tesla-like wheels, Tesla door handles, even a Tesla-like font.

That said they do apparently have a lot invested. The car is clearly intended to be a step above a model S. They have executive features, more power, and a more detailed interior (although, no leather?).
