Which will survive? None of the cars in your title. Some of them may become collectors items though.

Lucid is a cool car, but the company is heading straight for bankruptcy, they lost a billion and a half dollars last quarter. Even at the high price they are charging they are not capable of making a profit.

The Chinese are coming and they have some nice EVs for as low as 9k USD but they are mostly state majority owned companies and have different rules and incentives than profit based companies. If Tesla had tried to make the affordable EV first and the luxury models later it would be out of business. What you are saying cannot be done with current regulations in the US or Europe. In fact even at the prices they are now charging, the only company outside of China that is capable of making a profit on EVs is Tesla. I mean you can buy a crap EV like an old leaf for cheap, but they are cheap for a reason. Currently the price of a Tesla is actually cheaper than a gas car that cost ten thousand dollars less, if you consider the cost of operation and ownership. Depending on your electricity costs EVs can operate virtually for free, except for tires and insurance. If you already have solar, or live someplace with abundant cheap hydro-electricity you would be ahead in one year at today's gas prices. I pity the fools in their dumb monster trucks who think it's cool to drive pickups they never pick up anything with, and off roaders that never go off road. They are feeling it. Good time to get a deal on a extended cab dually diesel if you want to cry everytime you put fuel in it. If you had bought a Tesla two years ago, you could have driven it for two years and sold it today for more than you paid for it.

@mosesque8784 Tesla model 3 is the number one selling car, of all cars EV and ICE in Europe. Model Y is the number one selling car in California. Outside of one small golf car posing as an EV, Tesla is number one in China. Your idea that Tesla will be left behind in tech is utter, that's utter nonsense. Name one EV in mass production that is even comparable to Tesla? If you think there is one you are deluded. There is such a massive difference between manufacturing some electronic device and an EV, that the fact that you even made such a comparison, speaks volumes, about the volumes of fact you fail to consider.
