I just saw on Saturday one of the 100 people who bought a Lucid at hypermiling speed on a highway stretch of US22 in PA, where it's posted 55 opening up to 65, everyone going around.
EV drivers drive slow probably to avoid a recharge, or just aren't purchasing for performance whatsoever. Focusing on lowering EV mass is chasing a ghost. Deep cold, drag hurt range more.
Tesla has the disengaged-enthusiast EV driver paradox market totally covered, and is that ghost. Paying off for large castings may also be a reason they keep body styles around so long.
I don't think this Tesla is getting repaired:
