EVs -- Lucid, Porsche, Renault, GM -- April 17, 2023

EVs: link here. Scorecard

Lucid. On which planets do these folks live? Link here.

The Lucid Air starts $180,000, though that is the going rate for a Porsche Taycan Turbo S.
The Model S Plaid [Tesla], essentially the car the Lucid likely benchmarked the Air against, starts at around $130,000 when optioned with full-self driving.
Whether the Lucid is worth around $50K more is an interesting question.
The Lucid Air in Grand Touring trim does much more range (516 miles) than the Model S (348 miles).
That being said, if you're in the market for that high-end super performing sedan, electric sedan, the Lucid here is an unbelievable package. And if you're looking for a cheaper version of this car, there's the Pure edition which will start around $80,000 and comes well equipped and offers 400 miles of range.

Renault: in light of Tesla price cuts, Renault reviewing its prices worldwide. Link here.

GM: ditches Apple CarPlay. WSJ. 99% of those commenting at the article consider this a really, really dumb move on the part of GM. Announced by GM's CFO. GM is desperate to cut costs.
