According to that article, that car isn't available yet and is only going to made in extremely limited numbers.

  And? How many people do you think buy high performance cars? The answer is: not many.

    Ridiculous. Just walk around the Bay area and see for yourself.

    Someone said > the Plaid is still the fastest car you can buy without dropping a half million And you said: > Nope: https://www.theverge.com/2022/8/19/23312956/lucid-air-sapphi https://www.theverge.com/2022/8/19/23312956/lucid-air-sapphi... Except you can't actually buy the car you linked to. That's a pretty big miss in a conversation about cars you can buy. In fact, I would say one of the two defining features of "cars you can buy" is the fact that you can buy them.

      You can reserve the Lucid now and have it available in early 2023. I would suspect that it isn't too different from the Plaid.

        There are 9 new Plaids in "inventory" in Palo Alto, plus 1 used.

        Pre-release is completely different from released-but-with-a-waiting-list. Maybe they'll hit early 2023. Maybe it will be late 2023. Maybe the whole thing will be scrapped.

      Of course you can. Reservations for the Sapphire open on Tuesday. Deliveries start next year. Don't feel too bad that Tesla doesn't lead here. Tesla doesn't lead in real world range tests either: https://insideevs.com/reviews/443791/ev-range-test-results/ https://insideevs.com/reviews/443791/ev-range-test-results/ Tesla makes good ads though.
