Lucid is showing itself capable of creating a car with astonishing performance. Whether it or Tesla shaves additional fractions of a second off what are already outrageous track times for both has reached the point of irrelevance, except to the pubescent internet crowd. People who can actually afford either car are probably looking for a lot more in a car.
If Tesla stays with the current decade-old Model S body and can find people who will pay over $150,000 (with usual options) for a car with subpar torsional rigidity, cramped rear seats, little interior storage, and lacking such basic conveniences as rear cupholders or center armrests, then more power to them.
I'd much rather have a Lucid with a roomy, well-outfitted, high quality interior, even at the sacrifice of a fraction of second in the quarter mile or 0-60 times.
Frankly, Lucid has been foolish to get itself into a track-time battle with Tesla and lose marketing focus on the vast advantage its design offers in space and luxury while still delivering nose-bleed levels of performance.
