It’s a four-seater, with a snug back seat and a partly retractable hardtop. Tesla CEO Elon Musk now says the Roadster should ship in 2023.

And as the saying now goes, that plan went all “2020.” Other models have taken longer to develop, stretching out the timeline as the company faces the challenge of expanding its factories, creating next-generation batteries, and engineering more advanced Full Self Driving (FSD) capability. Back in 2017 when it was initially unveiled, Tesla said it aimed to build the Roadster in 2020. This car promises performance quite unlike any car that’s come before, but well-heeled driving enthusiasts will need to wait longer for the model to reach production. The name is a nod to the original Tesla car, an electric convertible based on a Lotus platform. Tesla’s roadmap has the electric-only product line expanding from the Model S, Model X, and Model 3 to the Cybertruck, Semi tractor-trailer truck, and the Roadster. An SUV based on the Air is expected to follow. The Dream Edition Performance and Grand Touring trims have a range of 469 to 516 miles, depending on wheel fitment. The Lucid Air Dream Edition R has an EPA-rated 520 miles of range (with 19-inch wheels), making it the first production EV to offer more than 500 miles. Lucid says the base model will have more than 400 miles of range, with a proprietary charging system that makes it possible to add 300 miles of range in 20 minutes using a DC fast charger. The car, its batteries, and the 900-volt electric architecture were engineered in-house and have already been tested and proved on Formula E cars.
Less-powerful versions will arrive later, including a 800-hp dual-motor model and a couple of single-motor models with either 480 or 620 hp.
The first to arrive will be the most expensive one, a 1,111-hp dual-motor sedan with a $169,000 price. The Lucid Air, a large, sleek, all-wheel-drive sedan designed to compete with ultraluxury models such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Tesla Model S, will eventually be available in a few formats. Over the following two years, other less-expensive versions of each will be offered with reduced power and range. The SUV follows a year later, with top output being about 830 hp. The Hummer EV pickup truck launches in 2022 with the pricey, full-featured Edition 1 boasting 1,000 hp and promising 350+ miles of range.
FUTURE HYBRID VEHICLES DRIVER
Among their tricks are the ability to “crab walk,” or move diagonally up to 18 cameras for negotiating trails and available Super Cruise driver assistance. Both vehicles have removable glass roof panels to create an open-air driving experience. Its 5-foot pickup bed features a power tonneau cover and multifunction tailgate. The nameplate’s revival is led by the five-seat, four-door pickup truck. But the all-new electric Hummer EV SUV and pickup truck promise to be both green and off-road ready, with gratuitous power and sports-car-quick acceleration. The Hummer badge was once antithetical to alternative fuels, representing hulking, gas-guzzling SUVs inspired by military vehicles. In addition, the company is spending $2.3 billion on a new battery manufacturing plant in the same town as part of a joint effort with LG Energy Solution.
GM has pledged a $2 billion investment in that factory to support electric vehicle production. Production starts in early 2022 at the Spring Hill, Tenn., facility. The initial Lyriq is a 340-hp, rear-drive model with a 100-kWh battery, a combination that the automaker estimates is good for at least 300 miles of range. This builds on the presentation found in the 2021 Cadillac Escalade, which has a 38-inch curved OLED display. The dominant feature in the cabin is a curved 33-inch LED display that stretches from the instrument panel all the way to where the infotainment screen is traditionally placed. But the Lyriq has a much different profile, being 6 inches lower in height and riding on a wheelbase that’s 9 inches longer. It’s roughly the length and width of the Cadillac XT6 SUV. The Cadillac Lyriq showcases next-generation styling for the brand and introduces a new modular electric platform.
