Lucid introduces a perfomance version of Air called Sapphire

1200 hp, 1/4 mile under 9 (supposedly), 250k starting price

Interesting, EV's are getting better but the good ones are ridiculous money.

Agree that 250k for a startup brand electric sedan is a difficult proposition. This is Bentley/RR-level pricing but without the brand cachet and interior opulence.

For comparison, the 750 hp AMG EQS starts at 150k.

Actually love the look of the Lucid, but who in hell can afford $250k for an electric vehicle?? And as stein_325i stated, just to get service and parts he would have to drive 1.5 hours to the nearest dealer. Personally, I think the EV push is happening way to quickly.

Now they need to actually go and get some orders for those and then fulfill them, and for their other models too.... Should have sold off my shares when during the "hype" phase. Sick of waiting to get my money back, along with the vast majority of my portfolio....
