The premier land yachts / premium large sedans are getting updates
https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a6...uring-details/
The Lucid Air Grand Touring version keeps the same EPA rating though should effectively have greater real world range as it's been tweaked for greater efficiency and has a larger battery pack (112 kWh to 118 kWh). This has to do with changes in EPA's rating system changes. In addition to that, the Grand Touring should charge substantially faster at DC charging stations (claims of 15-30%) and has a heat pump that should improve cold weather range.

The Mercedes EQS also gets updates which also include a larger battery pack (108 kWh to 112 kWh). EPA ratings aren't out yet, but its WLTP ratings increased by 11%. The vehicle's also supposed to be more efficient.

The Porsche Taycan also gets a larger battery pack (for both size options) with greater range, charging speeds, and efficiency. It's substantially more powerful now even though it had plenty of power before. Its suspension has apparently been reworked to be an even better drive. Few details are out about its Audi e-tron GT sibling, but I suspect a lot of it will be similar.
Arguably the BMW i5 and Mercedes EQE are better size comparisons for the Lucid Air and Porsche Taycan, but I'd say the general range of larger luxury sedans that includes both the i5/EQE and i7/EQS are probably where EVs currently compete the most favorably in the US market and arguably outright the better vehicle and value than their ICE counterparts.
