As far as I can tell they are in a relatively unique market - an electric high end luxury saloon. I would argue that the Tesla Model S is not in that space. The only thing in that space is the Mercedes EQS. BMW don’t seem interested in that space yet. When Rolls Royce/Bentley eventually come into that market they would probably be priced much higher. I’m guessing that for the near future Lucid will be able to sell each car they manage to produce. A lot will depend on how many they can actually produce and how quickly they can ramp up before running out of money or whether they can raise funds.

Thanks Jay for the great episode! Thoroughly enjoyed watching you have that good, very informative chat with Derek and Peter about their design and engineering of the new Lucid Air EV. (It's like seating at the backseat and listening-in to a couple of "uncles" who made their mark in their respective fields, in their car-talk.) I wish them and their company much success. Also proud that almost everything is designed and built in-house, in AZ. If only Lucid Air were more affordable, but your books and videos do help regular guys like me live the “dream”. Thanks for sharing your joys!
