Hard to believe this thread started over FOUR YEARS ago, but this is looking promising...

As a share holder I would be very happy if Lucid would start selling a few cars.

I half expect Lucid to announce further production delays wouldn't be surprised if they don't start mass production until early next year.

same reason that i believed tesla would succed back in the day, also the founder of lucid is an engineer from tesla and he does seem to be a pretty smart guy.

Elon took crazy risk to get Tesla to where they now and the current OEMs have been completely disrupted and awakened to EVs now. I think its actually harder for Lucid now that the OEMs are in the EV footrace so good luck to them. Bit's question is a fair consideration for Lucid's survival...will they bring a product that is vastly superior to the current OEMs who already have the brand recognition and manufacturing chops to produce nice EVs? If Lucid's cars are only comparable to the new products coming out, then they won't get enough scale to survive.

so besides being well funded and smart, what's so great about the lucid CAR? (or supporting ecosystem if they have one)
seems to me more like it will be acquired for patents and a nice factory.

tesla started selling cars over a decade ago. the market isn't the same. and many a well funded startup with a 'smart' person at the helm has failed.

While established brands will likely cater to existing fans, IMO, the clean slate, exclusivity and solid execution will work in Lucid's favor, among other things. I hope they succeed and I'd like to see more startups take a swing at fresh ideas and technologies.

What will make or break Lucid will be their production ability and supply chain management. That's what bankrupted Fisker. Tesla survived not only because of its tech, but also because of its vertical integration.

Agreed. Lucid will get to define themselves in ways established auto may have challenges. Take Mustang Mache-E, for example, and the near absence of Ford branding on the vehicle, which is interesting, because the Mache-E is a good vehicle, by most impressions. I don't think it would have sold any less, by carrying the Ford name, but marketing decisions were made.
