2018 LUCID AIR – $60k EV Limo Is Dream Tesla Rival

Pretty fascinating new make at the NY auto show this year. Lucid out of California, a startup set to take on Tesla. How will they succeed where others failed? Similar talent pools help, while Tesla’s current market cap makes an investment in Lucid seem genius. What can take down a killer startup? An even more-killer startup. Lucid is making big promises and is taking reservations for their launch model now. This is a real-deal car versus a one-off concept. But still, production remains some time off into the future.

VOSSEN VFS-2 Alloys Sex Up TESLA Model S

Tesla’s Model S is rumored to have a facelift debuting very soon. And it is about time!
