There are additional changes that will take effect on January 1, 2023.

EV of the Week
The Quail
It’s Monterey Car Week and we had conflicts this year and aren’t able to attend (my wife is having a baby today or maybe tomorrow), but that doesn’t mean we aren’t there in spirit. We could be jumping the gun on this one, but there is a strong rumor going around about a new Lucid being revealed at The Quail gathering on Friday. Supposedly the new Lucid will be a tri-motor version with around 1,400 horsepower. Expect the new Lucid to still have 5 seats and cost north of $150,000. More to come on Friday, but what the heck, we like new EVs, and thus the new tri-motor Lucid is the EV of the week.

Dodge announced this week that it will no longer produce the ICE version of the Charger and Challenger but at the same time released a concept version of the Charger. The coolest part? It will produce a similar sound to the hellcat version.
