      Yea tesla will have to add an entire extra motor just to compete. Unlike porsche which just improved their 2 motors and its now lighter then both of these and retained a light weight 2 motor setup. Handles way better and it's faster then the plaid. Faster then both around the track. Imagine if porsche only cared about straight line speed. 4 of their motors would be an under 8 sec easily. But they wanna still make it a great all around performance car. Porsche engineering has out done tesla at their own game in a very short amount of time.

Faster then both around the track. Imagine if porsche only cared about straight line speed. 4 of their motors would be an under 8 sec easily.

      It's on another level to the Plaid than just performance. There is much better range, handling, but also drives and has suspension of something like an S Class. It's far more luxurious, and apparently, the focus wasn't when creating the Lucid was sheer speed or acceleration. It's in a completely different league to the Plaid. You get what you pay for so naturally it's going to be more expensive. It's a better product!

    Is it worth folding in the wing mirrors? Would it make any difference?

    I can’t wait to see you fool around with the revuelto hopefully you can change the results carwow had of it against the sf90 lls

    Since these are electric cars manufacturers could add a drag mode to the car that would release the breaking at the same time with the help of Wifi signals that the cars would connect to.

    250k for a ford 500 look a like, or an 88k beauty. And Lucid will definitely go out of business.

      Do you honestly think the Plaid looks beautiful! It's about as beautiful as how well it stops with those brakes from the factory 😂

      I like Tesla's but I have to admit...Tesla looks like an upside-down bathtub compared to lucid..
