Lucid Motors Air Sedan To Undercut Model S At Only $52,000

Although Lucid Motors has only presented its range-topping, 1,000 hp Air sedan to the world, it has emerged that the brand’s entry-level variant will be much more affordable than this Model S P100D killer.

In newly released information about the car, the electric startup says that the Air will begin at a very reasonable $52,500 including applicable federal tax credits (up to $7,500), undercutting the entry-level Tesla Model S by almost $16,000.

For that money, customers of the Air will get a car with rear-wheel drive and an electric motor capable of delivering 400 hp. By comparison, the Model S 60 has to make do with 360 hp. What’s more, the range of the base Air is also better, 240 miles on a single charge versus the Model S’ 210 miles.

Weird looking ass end wrecks a other wise nice looking car. The Model S still has it beat in the looks department and maybe now some real competition will make Tesla more competitive.

Until it officially goes on sale and orders are received, this is vaporware.

p.s.
Glass roof looks amazing, but that electromagnetic sunshade better work!

If they can really release this for $52k after subsidies, I think they will do quite well. This is the first real competitor to the Model S, and more competition and options will only benefit consumers.

Yet another car from a manufacturer without experience designing cars.
