'It's Close:' Lucid CEO Says Cheaper EV To Rival Tesla Model 3/Y Coming Sooner Than 2030
Portfolio Pulse from Anan Ashraf
Lucid Group Inc (NASDAQ:LCID) CEO Peter Rawlinson announced that the company's new mid-sized EV, priced around $50,000 to compete with Tesla's Model 3 and Y, will be launched sooner than 2030. Initially stated for mid-late decade, the timeline has been misquoted as 2030. The development of this vehicle is part of Lucid's strategy to enter the high-volume family car market after its premium Air sedan and Gravity SUV. Additionally, Lucid plans to enter the UK market with right-hand drive cars, with a timeline set for late 2025.
