2022 Lucid Air Dream, This is pretty nice, a little awkward from the side view.

The 2022 Lucid Air Dream Edition R is a 933-hp electric luxury sedan that can drive more than 500 miles on a single charge. I witnessed and experienced the latter firsthand. The former? Not so much, but you'll need to keep reading. There's also an Air Dream Edition P (P stands for Performance, R means Range) that makes 1,111 horsepower and offers a range of better than 450 miles. Now get this—they cost the same price. You choose: Do you want a sleek-looking EV with nearly 100 hp more than the Tesla Model S Plaid? Or do you want the car that makes more horsepower than any Lamborghini ever made, beats the Tesla Model S Long Range at its own game by more than 100 miles, and puts the very notion of range anxiety out to pasture? I won't be much help answering that question, as I only drove the Lucid Air Dream Edition R. However, as the first person not on Lucid's payroll to drive an Air, I discovered plenty to talk about.

For ONLY US$170,000 they will be in every driveway.

That's what I was thinking.  Cool concept but how exactly is this going to save the world from global warming?  It'd be nice to think in 10 years time there will be an affordable EV with 500 miles of range, AWD, and a 0-60 of under 3 seconds for under $40,000 CAD.

I've been thinking that for a while. In Europe there's more affordable choices. Reminds me of early adoption of ICE cars, it wasn't until Henry Ford, that ICE Cars become affordable, the next Henry Ford, will be the Chinese, if and when they arrived with cheap electric cars. I want to able to buy E-car for a realistic 20 grand, with at least 500 miles of range. Then I think more people would lease or buy them.

Cheaper models come later.

Pricing is in line with high end Taycans, and it has more range than its competitors.

How is that possibly realistic? Even a Civic starts at $25k these days.

I wouldn't expect to see 500 mile cars for under $25k but that'd be the sweet spot for city commuters.

Honda, is the first to start charging at a mid-size staring price point. Corolla starts at just shy under $20,000.
