Power is sourced from two electric motors with a 100 kWh battery pack as standard and an optional 130 kWh battery pack. Tesla beware - this electric sedan shouldn't be underestimated. If you couldn't already tell that Lucid has Tesla firmly in its sights, the 400-horsepower base model will cost less than $60,000 (the Tesla Model S starts at $67,000), though the fully upgraded 1000-hp Lucid Air+ will set you back over $100,000. It's worth mentioning too that the software was limited to 217 mph, and Lucid intends to use the data gathered from the test to make further improvements to the EV before testing it again at even higher speeds.
