Saw this was just announced. 1200+ HP Tri-Motor and 0-60 under 2sec. I think it looks quite a bit better than the current trims available. No more Buick looks, which was a reason I had cancelled my Dream Edition reservation. I don't think it's worth $250K though, that's way to much. They've also delivered less than 1000 units so far.

Awesome specs, not worth $250K.

Very pretty and what a HP monster. I like that exists just to shut up the Model S Plaid fanboys even for a little bit.

We an continue to enjoy and drive our cars, and the Plaid boys have lost their bragging rights for the time being.

The silence is nice ??

Is this worth 2 Plaid's? I don't think so. And I wonder if the laggy infotainment has been fixed yet?

The problem with these upstart EV companies is overpromising and under-delivering of actual cars. And the higher the price, the less likely I would be willing to spend on an unproven (long-term) car and brand, especially with no service centers nearby.

I just don't get it I guess. Even if you really want a Lucid, I'd rather get the $150k model and another $100k car of your choice for tracking.
