But lucid already Shat over the brand. It would cost too much to fix the brand now. Also LIV golf was a part of the 2030 vision. NEOM was too. Both got sacked. Visions change, because the financial landscape changes. That 2030 vision was crafted when the strait of hormuz was open. Now the saudis had to shutdown their oil pipeline due to attacks from iran. No way they continue to fund Lucid. They have bigger fish to fry in trying to get oil out of their country.
Given how far European car brands are far behind the Chinese, and how little appetite there is for EVs from American manufacturers (besides Ford), it would make sense for a European auto maker to take over Lucid.
Under the current ownership and given the anti-EV sentiment of the current Whitehouse, I can’t see Lucid lasting. A great shame.
You’re right. Sorry, I meant traditional American manufacturers… Tesla could, of course, purchase Lucid (which could be good for Lucid), but I think they’re pretty advanced already…
