500 mile+ ranged EV Confirmed

Lucid is looking strong as a Tesla competitor. I prefer the looks too although they are somewhat subjective.

What poor bd needs a 500 mile range car? That implies they are doing 500 mile trips regularly and/or can't afford to take 20 minute breaks on that 10 hour journey.

Or maybe they can't charge at home or work and are forced to pay €€€ for a huge battery and public charging.

250 miles seems to be the sweet spot for price and range.

I laughed at the comment because if you wind the EV progress clock back say 5 years, most EV protagonists all decreed that they should have at least 500 miles of range.. yet when they appear people now complain the range is not necessary.

No word on pricing yet. I expect this to be just under Tesla's P100D. I wonder how it will perform!

I mean isn't the Cybertruck supposed to have a 500+ mile range too?

The 2021 Roadster 600miles?

This isn't new.

This is the only vehicle that has been physically tested to have the indicated range. The others are not yet in production.
