Exciting future product if they do make it to production.

Lucid Motors has now officially BEAT Tesla. Yes that is right, they have an independent certified test done on their Lucid Air Luxury sedan that their solid state battery pack allows the Luxury Lucid Air sedan to have a 517 mile range using the EPA's Multicycle Test Procedure. This clearly beats Tesla Model S Long Range Plus sedan. The full details on the Lucid Air are set to be revealed on September 9th with production stated to start 6 months after that. Lucid Air has superior power electronics, motors and battery packs as they draw on the companies Atieva division, which supplies battery packs for Formula E racing. This stated by their CEO and published in IEEE Spectrum. The Alum that has left Tesla is who has taken Lucid to new heights. Personally, Lucid is a far better looking car than Tesla any day. https://spectrum.ieee.org/cars-that-think/transportation/advanced-cars/lucid-air-ev-500-miles-on-a-single-charge https://lucidmotors.com/stories/lucid-air-sets-new-standard-with-517-miles-on-single-charge

around 50 at night and mid 60's during the day, summer has not really shown up except for a 2 week stretch in July.

@ocnblu Thank you, @67impss That is what happens when I respond on an open window and did not refresh. LOL Wine

Krispy Kreme is awful, a mouth full of Lard spilled all over. Had one when it was hot and off the production line, thought it was good, went back to have another out of the box a couple hours later as the family was traveling. Tasted and felt like I would imagine when you try to take a bite out of a pile of cisco lard. Hard pass on donuts. Just do not get the appeal, I imagine for the french they would rather have a croissant than a doughnut.

Agree, over all I think it looks good, I kinda wonder if they felt the upper half of the rear is what would be tweaked based on consumer feedback and could end up being more upright SUV like. Honestly, like Rivian, I think Cadillac could easily have a more upright 1990's like Suburban rear back and dump the stupid Coupe type rear end. Something like this: Agreed, The Hummer by GMC should have been shown before this as it is supposed to be on the dealer lots next summer.

I honestly have never seen these two cars before, cool to know where the Chinese design came from. Thank you for sharing, confusion cleared up!

? Have I ever cried about my support of EV's? NOPE!!! ? EV's Rock. Bad David, you posted about EV's in the Random Thread.

FYI, I gave it a confused look as the auto is confused and does not know what the hell it wants to be. Talk about just one of the weirdest auto's out there. But then what do you expect from a Dictatorship country where freedom of expression is so limited.

Football fans who love football QB Brady can now have a chance to own his Escalade as he puts the custom ride up for sale. Seem Sly Stallone is also putting his Becker Escalade up for sale.

Yet not too long ago you were preaching how everyone wanted a Nuremburg carving auto. Seems you flip flop as bad as a politician working to keep their job.

EQC, EQS, are as much vaporware as the LYRIQ at this point. The EQE has not been seen or even probably started to be designed yet since they have had to delay their current 2 EV's. GLB is a cheap update of an existing model. They still cut 7 models from their lineup. They have clearly stated more cuts are coming. The days of enthusiast auto's and niche builds are over in this current pandemic global business world. MB, the Toyota/Chevrolet of Germany is now hurting and has done what the others did, overextend in building niche auto's that no longer can be supported by current sales. MB will be shrinking the portfolio considerable over the next 18 - 24 months.

Back on the Cadillac EV discussion, they have confirmed an Escalade EV. Cadillac LYRIQ EV Cadillac Escalade EV One has to wonder what they will call all the other CUV/Cars for the full EV portfolio. I doubt they will stick with CT and XT.

Everyone wants to be on the IQ train. After all Intelligent Quality is what IQ is all about.

Disagree, This makes sense to have Ioniq as the EV subbrand of Hyundai. As ICE dwindles, eventually Hyundai will retire and Ioniq will be the bread and butter.

I see no reason that GMC cannot handle a $100,000 truck or SUV. They are already near that.

Nikola Corp. has bagged a EV Garbage Truck deal with Republic Services garbage company to develop and build 2,500 electric waste and recycling collection trucks announced today. Nikola shares jumped 22% in afternoon trading. The Zero Emission vehicles will have a range of 150 miles and will be integrated into their fleet starting in 2023. The deal has a expansion clause of an additional 2,500 vehicles over the life of the agreement. Republic says these garbage / recycling vehicles will offer quieter operations in neighborhoods, lower maintenance costs and lover emissions over the life of the auto as they move to electrify their fleet and retire out diesel vehicles. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-republic-servs-orders-nikola/nikola-bags-order-to-make-2500-electric-garbage-trucks-for-republic-services-idUSKCN2561MX

Hummer by GMC is that Luxury off-road product.
