Whoopsy:
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.
I think Musk's biggest issue is that he gives/promises dates and misses out by "only" 3-4 years or so... I think he is just trying to make people wait for his stuff, but he knows he cant deliver and that is really annoying IMO
Love the Lucis yes its very interesting, my only problem with the Porsche is the range, funny as I usually not making so long distances but I still want to go more than 300km on the Autobahn without the need of a charge (in my world it should be at least 500km of real Autobahn range in that price category)
Love also the Rivian, this thing can do anything it seems... and the fit and finish looks just great. I think they priced it also really well for what you get.
Yea about Rimac, yes its a great great hyper car the the price level is here a totally different one so maybe not so good as a comparisson.
