2021 Lucid Air: 0-60 in 2.5 seconds.

Interesting that the Saudi's own a majority of Lucid.
Saudi Arabia owns more than half of Lucid Motors - The Verge

Thought this was interesting:

"Atieva, the Silicon Valley-based electric vehicle technology company, today announced that the spec battery pack of its own design will power the entire 24-car Formula E field for the upcoming 2019/20 race season in association with its partners. The Formula E battery pack was conceptualized, designed, tested, and manufactured by Atieva at its Silicon Valley headquarters in Newark, California. Atieva is the technology wing of Lucid Motors."

These are not car companies. They are battery research companies.
Sort of like how Rolls Royce / SAAB etc are not a car companies, but aviation companies. (Goes deeper but this is a vehicle forum)
Basically, they wrap a battery pack in a body that you can sit in to offset the costs.

I'm all for "clean" tech... BUT... (I used to be involved with the field)

1. They are clear-cutting forests to install solar panels.
Solar panels are black and absorb radiation.
Trees cool the area under the canopy.

2. Wind turbine blades are filling up landfills already.

3. Nuclear (fusion/fission)... One "accident" negates all this battery tech.
Plus the fact of dealing with the spent control rods.

4. This all as India and China have no near-immediate plans to clean up their acts.

I can go on more, but that is the gist of this all.




It hilarious when people that drive 19MPG vehicles claim to want to be "green" though. If that is the case, buy a Prius to commute, sit home all other times and limit electrical use.
Being green to me means quality products that are not filling up landfills, using energy to recycle, etc. But after all, this is all about keeping money moving and passing the buck to the end consumer, us, which is why I more or less bowed out of the field.

Yes.
They just present the battery in packaging that resembles a car.
They use that to offset costs.
Like how Rolls Royce isn't a car company, but aviation.

I didn't even notice. Just thought it was weird with quoting part of what I said without quotes.

I’ve seen a few of these around.

Looks like the same sloppy build quality as Tesla.
