Lucid actually has some interesting tech/approaches to get this range.<p>1. Slightly more aerodynamic than the Model S<p>2. Smaller than the Model S. Remember the coefficient is calculated based on the cross sectional area so the smaller size has a multiplier effect. Supposedly the Lucid has more interior space than the Model S but maybe not storage capacity.<p>3. A transmission. This seems to make it more efficient at highway speeds.<p>4. Very light and compact motor/integrated transmission/inverter<p>5. Very big battery (can't get a firm figure but have heard numbers from 110kWh to 150kWh). The Tesla Model S is 100kWh.<p>Of these, the drivetrain seems the most interesting. It will be interesting to break down the effects of each of the above.<p><a href="https://www.autoconnectedcar.com/2020/09/lucid-shows-it-drivetrain-inverter-and-transmission-with-speculator-specs/" rel="nofollow">https://www.autoconnectedcar.com/2020/09/lucid-shows-it-driv...</a><p>Also, this range is only for their highest end model which costs a very, very pretty penny of $161K.
