For a slightly 10% bigger battery, it goes a full 25% further than a equivalent Model S Plaid. 

The 'lead' of Tesla's efficiency is puff, gone. 

First EV truck? Tesla lost that too to Rivian.

First commercial truck? Nope, that's Daimler.

First EV sports car? Rimac. 

As predicted, Tesla is facing competition pressure from all sides. It needs a clear direction to go but it would seems Elon is too distracted to lead Tesla into a proper direction. 

Funny how Tesla been stuck at ~ 1/4 million cars per quarter for like the last 8-10 quarters. Even the growth 'predicted' is also gone. 

Lucid has real potential. But for that price, I would much rather stick with a Porsche. Same story with the Rivian truck. I much prefer to get a Ford, a known entity.

Having said that, I think Lucid will do well in time. American luxury EV. Sort of like Caddy was the American luxury brand, but Lucid have much much better fit and finish and material usage. 

The gauge display looks like they lifted it straight out from a Caddy however.
