The rear-wheel drive version of the base model Lucid Air Pure will now start a $69,900, down from the previous price of $77,400. The more powerful Lucid Air Touring model – which offers all-wheel drive performance and roughly 50% more horsepower – will now start at $77,900, down from $85,900.

    Let me know when someone makes a convertible sports coupe/roadster EV with more than 400bhp for under $30K (and not made by Tesla). That’s when I’ll start shopping for an electric vehicle. I’m so fed up with all these boring sedans and SUVs with only three “color” options: black, white, and gray.

    Also, my HOA will have to install chargers in my condo complex as well, cause I refuse to be like those rich idiots who have to sit in a parking garage for hours at a time while they wait for their Tesla to charge.

      The MG4 XPower has 435hp, a range up of 385km or 520km, na wide range of colors and a price of 40 500€ before tax credit of subsidies.

      So it’s getting close to 30k with subsidies. Still not a roadster but MG is preparing the MG Cyberster that should be available in Europe this summer.2024-mg-cyberster

        Yay, more amazing cars that’ll never make it to the states. I appreciate you trying to help, though.
