Lucid’s are way better. Almost mid 90s Lexus levels of build quality and the chassis on the Air is truly a next gen Model S. Lucid was founded by a lot of former Tesla engineers and designers who left for… reasons, to go make their own company.
Exactly. I’m eyeing Volvo / Polestar for my next ride. Although, not having full access to Telsa’s charging network is a big bummer. So many non-Telsa chargers are slow and busted.
IMHO, the charging network is actually Telsa’s most compelling feature.
NACS Superchargers, which will become available gradually, by vehicle manufacturer, and can be accessed through an adapter. The adapter has to be provided by your vehicle manufacturer. For new vehicles that are NACS-equipped, no adapter will be necessary.
Edit: here is the charging network map. Notice that the network for non-Telsa NACS cars is smaller than the full network.
If only Musk wasnt Musk i might have gotten a Tesla. Now, Ive been watching to see how Lucid Air performs, maybe grab one of those in a few more years

Yeah, but I was referring to the full network. Isn’t this just partial access?

Polestar falls under the 3rd bullet point and will have full supercharger access.
Bullet 3 is not access to the full network. It’s only partial access.
Here is the map. https://www.tesla.com/findus
Not all super chargers are open to non-Telsa NACS cars.
