It’s obviously expensive, but it’s not a totally absurd price for an entry-level car from a luxury brand. I mean a boring BMW X5 SUV is $66k. A Lexus LS sedan is $77k.

The Lexus LS is their flagship model. The entry level model is the IS, starting at $41K.

As a general point of comparison, the average transaction price (including taxes and fees) for a new passenger vehicle is $48K.

I don't think "entry level" here implies the entry level model for the entire marque. That's not particularly useful when talking about Lucid Motors which only makes one car that happens to be an electric luxury executive car.
