Lucid Unveils Cosmos and Earth: A $50K Mid-Size EV Push to Rival Tesla
Lucid announced two new mid-size electric SUVs, Cosmos and Earth, starting around $50,000 and debuting later this year to compete with the Tesla Model Y. They ride on an 800-volt system with the Atlas drive unit, feature a single ultra-wide 4-zone display instead of a center touchscreen, mechanical door handles, and aim for an aerodynamic drag coefficient of 0.22 with about 300 miles of range on a 69 kWh pack; a third mid-size model is teased for future development, with Cosmos oriented toward urban use and Earth toward suburban/adventure-ready roles.
