  1. WTF does this even mean? Driving an electric vehicle makes your urban or suburban community a better place?
  2. At this rate, at least their EV efforts will be fully baked, unlike Mercedes' efforts thus far. Okay, the EQS is overall really good, it just looks like a compliance automobile rather than a flagship with presence. Their other EVs have been pretty hot garbage as well...
  3. Exterior size, yes. If you look at the interior dimensions, it's nearly identical to the EQS.
  4. The Air does not start at 138k. You can get in one with 406 miles of range and 480hp for $77,400. It is priced very similarly to the Model S.
  5. https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2022-lucid-air-vs-mercedes-benz-eqs-electric-luxury-car-comparison-test-review/ The Lucid wipes the floor with the Mercedes in the aesthetics and powertrain categories. "Things continue to diverge on the performance and drivetrain front, but each for its own purpose. The 2022 Mercedes EQS580 4Matic shuttles silently via dual motors—one front, one rear—fed by a battery with 107.8 kWh of usable power, offering a stellar combined 516 hp and 631 lb-ft of torque. These twin spinners have more than 5,800 pounds to scuttle, but there's enough shimmy between them to slingshot the EQS580 from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and down the quarter mile in 12.2 seconds. It's no Tesla Model S Plaid, but who gives a hoot? This is more speed than anyone remotely interested in the type of drive the EQS offers will ever need. If the Mercedes is a Germanic bullet train, the Lucid is the Concorde. In this as-tested Grand Touring trim, it's the same twin-motor setup as the Benz, only with 800 hp and 885 lb-ft from its 113-kWh battery pack. This predictably leads to a low, low 0-to-60 time of 3.0 seconds and a quarter-mile run in 10.8. Again, neither of these big-ass luxo sleds are sport sedans, so any time quicker than 5.0 seconds is just icing. On the all-important subject of range, it's a total bloodbath. The most careful Mercedes EQS580 drivers will manage a strong 340 miles before plugging in, a figure that pales in comparison to the Lucid Air Grand Touring's record-setting EPA-certified 516-mile capability. You don't have to spring for a bigger battery, either; all Air Grand Tourings come packed with this capacity, and even the wheeziest, weakest of the Lucid range covers a stonkin' 406 miles between charges."
  6. Oh I know, I mean MORE suburbs (further away yet) but it doesn't do much good if you have to commute to the metro area.
  7. You need more suburb in your life.. hahaha
  8. For somebody who rants and raves about Rivan and loves this interior. But then says this is too minimalist... ...just doesn't really make any sense to me.
  9. They both have turbo 4-cylinder engines as options. The GS get their 1.3 turbo and the CX-30 has their 2.5 turbo as an option EDIT: I didn't know both 1.2T and 1.3T engines in the Encore GX are 3-cylinders so I guess the Buick does not get a turbo-4.
  10. The wife and I plan to as well. Our honeymoon was supposed to be in Italy but in April of 2020, it may have been the worst place to travel to so we had to cancel and we're yet to re-plan anything. We can't wait!
  11. Hahaha yup, office building in the background. It's kind of funny that I work in downtown St. Louis, MO but I live in a small town of about 10,000 people surrounded by farm fields and this is only a 40 minute drive.
  12. I'm in one of those buildings in the background...
  13. I like the blue way more... ??‍♂️
  14. And they both probably have the same garbage crash safety ?
  15. He kind of said exactly why immediately after saying it was "visually distinctive". " The CX-30 certainly takes the cake for being visually distinctive. The flowing lines, taut proportions, and certain design traits like the narrow headlights make for an expressive model. "
  16. This all looks so damn great! Do you have a recipe you follow? Or have a link to a good recipe?
  17. Don't have to worry about any shifter boot/area cleaning when you have buttons. I've, surprisingly, loved this design.
  18. Leather/pleather looks sooooo much better than hard plastics, IMO.
  19. Is there a time before the end of the year? ?
  20. I think these look pretty damn awesome and it would be tough not to buy one of these if buying a mammoth-sized luxury SUV.
  21. Too. Big. That's why I left them off. I don't think the numbers matter a whole lot as I believe both are selling as many as they can produce. It's Kylie Jenner, she's not taking it off-road.
  22. I've seen it up over 125 and it's currently at 98/99. I want to get in on them.
