I did read that one, but it's just non-stop bickering about EV range in general.
I'm really rather taken by the Air, so I thought it might be worth starting again in the hope of getting a conversation about the actual car, instead of just general moaning by non-EV owners about how EV's need to be plugged-in.

It would seem it should take joint 2nd place for a production car for the quarter mile with a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, not bad for a saloon.

Normal Car - 20 seconds? https://electrek.co/2020/09/02/lucid-air-beats-tes...
Lucid Air - 9.9 seconds.
Formula 1 car - 8.8 seconds.

As a test bed for developing BEV technology it makes a lot of sense. As a means of transport it makes absolutely none. If anyone thinks that I am biased, I think that every modern Bugatti is even more pointless. The prewar Bugatti Royale engine finally found its niche in powering railcars, so there is some hope yet.
Comfortable, quiet, elegant, safe, long-legged, and essentially free fuel. And dispatches dawdlers with aplomb as and when requested. The opposite of pointless for me. It's everything I want in a daily.
