@griffd I didn’t advocate for a Lucid. I’m just saying, if MPGe is your one and only metric, then that’s the car you should be driving.

@caseyliss That is correct. But it's not my one and only metric. Nor should it be anyones. When you consider safety, cost, efficiency, technology, cost-of-ownership, and especially autonomy, NOTHING comes close to a Model 3 or Y. Nothing. Like you, I love to drive. Yet my Teslas do >80% of my driving for me. And on many trips they do literally 100%. No exaggeration. Garage to parking lot and back, 100% FSD. I have yet to have a single safety intervention on HW4. FSD v14.x on HW4 is INCREDIBLE!
