Will Lucid Dream Edition set a new world record soon? It appears that’s what it’s suggesting. Many electric car startups have touted more range and faster acceleration than Tesla’s vehicles.

The vehicle is also now open to reservations in the Middle East. There are many startups and even legacy automakers preparing their EVs. Anyway, apart from Rivian, Lucid Motors is probably the one that deserves more attention. If not for the fact that Peter Rawlinson is the man behind the Tesla...

Before you dispute that, remember he is the engineering mind behind the Tesla Model S. Anyone who claims they can make a better EV than the Tesla Model S will be doubted. No one to date has managed to prove right on such claims. Make no mistake to mix these guys with Peter Rawlinson: He... READ...

With the news that Lucid is either seeking a buyout or has been approached - would it make sense for Tesla to purchase them and build the Air itself, saving on development costs for an ultraluxury sedan? Or does that make zero sense whatsoever?

This is going to be awesome if/when it hits the market... It'll be nice to see some competition for the Model S. Curious how they're going to handle charging infrastructure, though.

This is one ugly car! It's HQ is also in Fremont. Little to no cargo space too! Still only a prototype.

Clear the Air – The $52,500 Lucid Air Received an update from Lucid for the Air's starting base price. Very attractive starting price with a 240 mile range. Finally another affordable EV with a decent range. Let's just hope they have a plan to fast charge on roadtrips. The actual base price...

Hi folks - I attended a private viewing of the Lucid Air last night at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. The company hosted a small reception after hours attended by Lucid employees, friends, family, and some EV enthusiasts. It was a very nice event. There were 3 vehicles there...

Faraday Future FF 91, Lucid Air First Rides - Motor Trend

Okay I'm going on record - I believe we will see the second generation Model S before year end 2018. I predict that while it may not go full Chinese execu-barge it will be larger inside with a larger, reclining back seat (perhaps an extended wheelbase option) - and that it will equal or surpass...

So - if Lucid actually has the funding to see this project through then it might help move Tesla to build a second generation Model S sooner rather than later. The interior roominess of the Air is what appeals to me - when the kids get bigger they'll be much happier to ride in the back of...

A small audience, by invite only, will be at Lucid's reveal in Fremont on the 14th of December. There has been a lot of hard work put into this car by some dedicated EV engineers. After the event I'll be allowed to tell you what I know. At this time I know absolutely nothing about the car, I've...
