Lucid Air

I don't see how lucid makes much money. The Air will be an expensive large supposedly luxurious EV. How many do they expect to sell? Why would someone buy one instead of a Taycan, Model S, EQS, ETron GT?
why will anyone take a chance on an untested brand? Whoever is running lucid doesn't have the personality of Elon Musk to be sure.
To me lucid is a bit like fisker - lots of heat but very little light.
i think Rivian has a MUCH stronger hand.

Rivian is first to the truck segment and so it has mindshare there. I think it has the best chance to survive because its made a Niche for itself. Lucid is directly competing with Tesla's strength which is long-range and absurd speed with a tad more luxury. I agree that it will be a bit harder for them there. They should have attacked the Model X...thats not my favorite product from Tesla...

I have LCID stock too. Been in it for months as CCIV. I think they are going to shine bright in the future. Being as though the world is rushing to convert to EV, they are in front and high up in luxury. The design is awesome, clean and very prestige. I’d say keep those hands diamond and see some solid gains in the future.

Anyway back on topic. I do hope Lucid does well. Competition keeps all players on their toes so the more the marrier!

Lucid Air test drive at Motor Trend, which I thought was a fun read.
The 2022 Lucid Air Dream Edition R is a 933-hp electric luxury sedan that can drive more than 500 miles on a single charge. I witnessed and experienced the latter firsthand. The former? Not so much, but you'll need to keep reading. There's also an Air Dream Edition P (P stands for Performance, R means Range) that makes 1,111 horsepower and offers a range of better than 450 miles. Now get this—they cost the same price. You choose: Do you want a sleek-looking EV with nearly 100 hp more than the Tesla Model S Plaid? Or do you want the car that makes more horsepower than any Lamborghini ever made, beats the Tesla Model S Long Range at its own game by more than 100 miles, and puts the very notion of range anxiety out to pasture? I won't be much help answering that question, as I only drove the Lucid Air Dream Edition R. However, as the first person not on Lucid's payroll to drive an Air, I discovered plenty to talk about.
As an organization, we've written almost everything there is to write about the Lucid Air without getting behind the wheel. Here are the big picture points I gleaned after two days spent driving Lucid's luxury EV.
Article is quite long, so I didn't want to copy the whole thing into an uber post. The rest of it can be found here.

Why Lucid Motors’ all-electric first car is absolutely a threat to Tesla and other luxury carmakers.

Very positive as expected given the circumstances. I've sat in this car in the showroom and it's mightily impressive in person. I can't wait to get my hands on one, but I will not be placing an order until late 2022 at the earliest. I need to hear how the ownership experience is first.

anyone have any idea how they're getting the claimed range (assuming it's true)? humongous battery? tech breakthrough?

It has a massive 113kwh battery which is much larger than the Model S and they have really good motor tech too (lighter). They helped develop the formula E motor tech and their CEO was the former engineering chief at Tesla. That company is no joke...they have some really good technology.
