![]() ![]() Meanwhile, the Tesla Model S now starts at about $105,000 and will set you back just over $137,000 for the ultra-high-performance Plaid trim.īoth cars tend to suffer from build quality issues, so you can expect at least a few flaws with either sedan. The Dream Edition, for example, costs a whopping $170,500. Though the Lucid Air nominally starts around $87,400, that model isn’t yet available, so it’s very easy to get into six-figure territory. These two sedans operate in the stratosphere of the EV pricing spectrum. Meanwhile, a Tesla Model S Plaid on the optional 21-inch wheels managed 345 miles in the same test, just short of its 348-mile EPA rating. In Edmunds’ real-world range test, a Lucid Air Dream Edition Range model traveled 505 miles of its advertised 520 miles. The most that the Tesla offers is 405 miles, which is still generous but trails even the entry-level Lucid at 451 miles. The top-of-the-line Dream Edition boasts a bladder-busting 520-mile EPA range on a single charge. The Lucid Air’s biggest claim to fame is its exceptional driving range. So, which is the better electric luxury flagship, the Tesla or the Lucid? The car experts at Edmunds compared these two long-distance EVs to find out. ![]() The 2022 Lucid Air is an all-electric luxury sedan that can compete with the Model S in some areas and surpass it in others. There’s a newcomer giving the Model S a run for its money, and it comes from a fellow startup.
