The Lucid Cosmos is the most advanced technological competitor to Tesla’s Model Y. If its software is executed properly (which I am sure will happen given the current improvements), the vehicle is likely to take a significant share of sales away from the Model Y.
"5+ weeks of driving my 2027 Lucid Air Touring. What I love about the car - the way it drives, the power, the range, build quality, space, the way it looks and it’s rarity.......Overall very pleased with my purchase"

Meet Yangwang Altior, the BYD's electric response to Rolls Royce Ghost and Phantom. It features 90-degree rear-hinged coach doors and integrated door umbrellas. Driven by BYD’s second-generation Blade Battery, it boasts an all-electric range of more than 1,000 km (CLTC cycle).
While @BYDGlobal has left the exact horsepower figure undisclosed, the Altior is built on the quad-motor e⁴ Platform. Given the brand's other quad-motor vehicles, it is safely expected to output over 1,000 horsepower.
Hard choice. Which @Toyota truck would you pick and why?
A. Hilux GR Sport
B. Tacoma Trailhunter
C. Tundra TRD Pro
D. Tacoma TRD Pro
E. Hilux Revo

Rate the rear design of Lucid Cosmos on a scale of 1 to 10.
As you can see,that split rear spoiler positioned directly above the rear glass window is meant to guide high-velocity air. It actively splits and channels airflow down across the tailgate to minimize low-pressure drag.
I explained how the split rear spoiler enhances aerodynamic efficiency in the Cosmos SUV in my post dated 15th September. Kindly go through it for better understanding.
Tesla @cybertruck production is winding down next year to make room for more Cybercabs.
Is retiring the Cybertruck worth it?What do you think?

If it is for Lagos, and it is only one car for the rest of our lives, we will choose the G63 without thinking twice.
Not because it is the fastest. The Urus will beat it. Not because it is the most comfortable. The Range Rover will beat it.
It is because it is the only one on this list that will survive Lagos for 15 to 20 years without becoming a problem.
Let us break it down:
1. G63 - THE SURVIVOR
It is body-on-frame, like a Hilux. It has a real ladder chassis. Potholes in Lekki, bad roads in Ikorodu, floods in Victoria Island, it will handle all of them. It does not have air suspension that can collapse at 2am on Third Mainland Bridge. It uses steel springs. It is simple to fix.
The engine is a 4.0 Bi-Turbo V8. It is strong, and Mercedes has used it in many cars, so parts are available. In Lagos, any good Mercedes specialist understands it. The value also holds very well. A 2015 G63 still sells for a very high price today.
Downside: Fuel consumption is high. The ride is not as soft as a Range Rover. But if it is one car for life, we want the one that will not leave us stranded.
2. Range Rover P530 - THE KING, BUT A FRAGILE KING
Comfort is 10/10. Once we sit inside, we will not want to get out. But in Lagos, the electronics and air suspension will stress us. One air strut can cost 2 to 3 million naira. One faulty module can put the car in limp mode. And we need a specialist who truly understands Land Rover, not just any mechanic.
If we have the money to maintain it forever, it is the best. If we do not, it will become a fine decoration in our compound.
3. Escalade-V - THE BIG MAN
682hp, more space than all of them, we can carry our whole family and luggage to the village. But in Lagos, it is too big for Lekki parking and too wide for small streets. Parts are a problem. We will be ordering from America and waiting 3 weeks for one sensor. Fuel is another issue. A 6.2L supercharged V8 in Lagos traffic will make the fuel station know our name.
4. BMW X7 M60i - THE SMART ONE
Good balance. Fast, comfortable, 7 seats, great technology. But BMW electronics in Lagos heat, with our fuel quality, and mechanics who often guess, will give us small problems after 5 to 6 years. And it does not hold value like the G63.
5. Urus S - THE TOY
Fastest, loudest, everybody will look at us. But it is a Lamborghini. Ground clearance is low, we will fear every speed bump in Chevron. One bumper scratch costs millions. And we cannot take it to the village or carry load. It is a weekend car, not a life car.
So for Lagos life:
If we want enjoyment: Urus
If we want comfort: Range Rover
If we want to still be driving the same car in 2040 without selling our house to fix it: G63
Toyota 1HZ is the last purely mechanical, indirect-injection (IDI) diesel engine still being manufactured and factory-installed into brand-new passenger and utility vehicles. An engine with almost zero electronic dependency, It churns out 129 hp (96 kW) and 285 Nm of torque.
Lucid Cosmos is alive and kicking. The affordable Mazda EZ-60 rival was teased again yesterday. It features a highly aerodynamic crossover shape aimed directly at competing with market mainstays like the Tesla Model Y and @Rivian R2. It's truly going to be great a game changer.

Did you know?The @Airbus A300 got its name because the initial project was planned to carry roughly 300 passengers. It was however scaled down to 250 passengers because the original 300-seat plan was too large and heavy to run on existing jet engines.
🧵
The 4.0 L 1GR-FE V6 is another reliable @Toyota engine that has refused to die. It replaced the 3.4 L 5VZ-FE V6 in 2002 and still remains available as an engine option in vehicles like the ninth generation Toyota Hilux and the 70 series Land Cruiser.
Choose one SUV you would own for the rest of your life if you were never allowed to buy another vehicle.
The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.

Citigroup increased its holdings in Tesla, Lucid, and @Rivian during the third quarter of 2026 while heavily reducing or slashing stakes in XPeng, General Motors, and Li Auto. Tesla (TSLA) common stock holding rose 10.1% to 8.69 million shares while Lucid (LCID) stake more......
than doubled, jumping 106% to 4.25 million shares.
Rivian (RIVN) stake increased 39.7% to 8.56 million shares, partially reversing cuts from the previous quarter.
