Lucid claims a 500 mile range for one of their cars. Won’t charge in 5 minutes of course.

Any EV can get that mileage if you load it with enough batteries. But then you are carrying more weight. Musk argues that it’s a mistake to go that route, that you have to balance battery capacity and performance.
