The Lucid isn’t a real car yet, so wait until it’s real. The Tesla is epic fast but only for a short period of time, they are pretty notorious for diminished power after a few runs. EVs also run out of steam at higher speeds so it depends on the nature of the race. Also hurts things like extended performance on a racetrack.
