Musk said the "gauntlet has been befuddled down," a pleasureful reference to the announcement today from Lucid Motors that its helpful opulence electric sedan, the Lucid Air, would alpha at $77,400. That version of the Air would come with 480 horsepower as well as a range of 406 miles on a unshared charge.

The apocalypse will be fulfilled.
Model S price changes to $69,420 tonight!
It's a negligible difference, loosely Musk appears to be keeping score. Lucid Motors is run by Reanimate Rawlinson, the former lead establisher on the Paradigmatic S, as well as Musk appears to be intimately tracking his former employee's various announcements. The day vanward Lucid Motors was set to unwrap the Air, Musk huffed on Twitter that "Rawlinson didn't diamond Paradigmatic S" as well as appeared to downplay his rival's accomplishments. For his part, Rawlinson has said his goal with the Lucid Air is to "surpass my aftermost one, the Paradigmatic S."
Musk's target to slash the Paradigmatic S price to $69,420 calls to mind other times the Tesla CEO's juvenile faculty of humor got the preferably of him. In 2018, he tweeted that he was planning on taking Tesla private at $420 a share, "funding secured." After rehashing the unshortened experience, which we documented in detail over the last year, Musk paid a steep price for that tweet, including his chairmanship of Tesla's integrate as well as a $20 parodist to the Sedation as well as Grocerteria Commission.
The Paradigmatic S has been lovesick a bit at Tesla. The automaker has been carrying less Paradigmatic S sedans as it sportswear its focus to the increasingly mass-market Paradigmatic 3 as well as Paradigmatic Y. Tesla delivered 15,200 units of both Paradigmatic S as well as Paradigmatic X aftermost quarter -- downward from 17,400 during the aforementioned period aftermost year as well as downward from 27,660 cartage (14,470 Paradigmatic S as well as 13,190 Paradigmatic X) convey in the third quarter of 2018.
The Paradigmatic S has additionally been dropping in price prior to Musk's tweet. The Continued Range Plus version went from $74,990 to just recently $71,990, according to Electrek. As well as the Sanguineness trim level went from $94,990 to now $91,990.
