I really hope Lucid is able to scale production. We've seen so many of these EV companies come and go, and inevitably the issue is they've been run by bean counters instead of product people or they go completely south underestimating the cost of production. The graveyard list of promise is long. Fisker, Faraday Future, Nikola..
The early product looks appealing, but part of me wonders if this can catch up in other areas with Tesla (miles recorded on FSD w/ depth mapping and edge case coverage, supercharging network, Hertz deal, economies of scale). Love the range, but this is just a first step of a longer battle of chewing glass and staring into the abyss.
