I've done the odd 350 mile trip (one way) and I wouldn't even consider an EV unless it could do 400 miles mixed (IRL). Lucid's 571 mile range even if optimistic would fit the picture but I seriously doubt any company would settle for a $139K price tag seen as most of their fleet or car allowances equate to $40K (or less) BMW's (mainly)..
Then again we don't really need 800HP to travel at 70MPH for five hours either..

Ok, maybe not in your situation. But for most of your countrymen, it is, especially when it's a guaranteed 250. Were talking about avg. people with short to medium needs, not the transportation industry or traveling businessman. Even at that rate, no one would buy a Lucid or Mode S long range to rack up 350miles a day on business trip, let alone a MBZ S class.
