Nobody is EVER going to cross
Nobody is EVER going to cross-shop a Bugatti with a Tesla. It has always been exciting to see Tesla’s performance models get better and faster over the years. And the Lucid prototypes have shown that they can be amazingly quick as well. Lucid has been clear though that their buyer’s targets are Mercedes S-Class, and other luxury sedans in the $80K-$200K market. Rolls Royce, Lotus, and Lamborghini have shown off fantastic EV prototypes that they could put into low volume production easily. Exotic/hypercars are always on the chopping block during a recession or similarly hard economic times, and since Tesla and Lucid are in the news for their ever-quicker EV rockets, they make a visible target for traditionalists to blame for unrelated business downturns or transitions.
