Lucid Air goes 500 miles at 70 MPH

Very impressive range. Unless you are a certain Tesla fanboy who claims the Lucid battery is much larger than they claim. 😜

I am curious what the Celestiq will end up being as far as range and battery size - I assume the car will be much larger than the Lucid though making it harder to compare.

Ya, Lucid made efficiency a priority for the first day of the design, Lyriq, and GM in general are not advanced to that level of EV design yet. I venture to say GM could not even do what Lucid did if they tried without years to work on it and billions of dollars. Just looking at ultium, GM went more after cost cutting than efficiency. But I think GM should be benchmarking Lucid's drivetrain, because eventually EV's will be the same efficiency battleground that ICE cars are now.

Tom drove on the 303, I saw him passing my neighborhood on the video. I think he used the chargers at Anthem, north of Phoenix on I-17.
