The term pontificate, like many other words, means different things depending on the context in which it is used. Pontificate can be used as a noun to refer to various aspects of pontifical duties or the office of a pontiff such as a pope or a bishop. When used as a verb, however, it commonly refers to the speech or oratory of a religious figure, usually regarding dogmatic or religious subjects.
The Lucid Air is expected to cost more than $100,000, with a special Launch Edition perhaps costing up to $160,000. The company began taking $2,500 deposits on Wednesday, and it hopes to offer less expensive versions in the future, a spokesman said. Thatâs comparable to some Tesla models, which can cost over $100,000.
1 Passenger-side air bags typically cost $400-$1,000 or more; side-curtain or knee air bags are less common and prices vary, but they typically cost about the same or slightly less than passenger-side air bags, depending on the size and design of the side-curtain air bag. (Some passenger-side airbags are designed to deflect off of -- and break -- the windshield, and may also break the dashboard.) Labor at $30-$90 or more an hour is usually about a third of the total cost.
