The Lucid Air and Mercedes EQS could give me range on par with my ICE vehicle in decent weather but electric cars are terrible on long trips where there’s no regenerative breaking to prop up the battery. Also Tesla’s newest battery pack isn’t equal to their old one.
It’s reasonable to think that anyone who can afford a Tesla can afford the charger and the installation of the outlet.

Model S range increased from 265 miles in 2012 to over 350 miles now. Model X AWD shows 347 miles. Model Y RWD, 283 miles, AWD, 318 miles. Model 3 standard 272 miles, Long Range model 350ish.
Teslas have regenerative braking.
Lucid makes nice-looking cars, great range, but without more investment (basically, they need a backer already in the ICE business, I doubt that its current Saudi backing will endure) the 7,180 vehicles it produced (delivered 4,369) in 2022 will be difficult to double in 2023.
Mercedes apparently plans to drop the EQ name in 2024 as it phases out all gasoline and diesel vehicles, and be all-electric in the future.
