Lucid's Record Deliveries Show How Putting Up A Hell Of A Fight Looks Like
Portfolio Pulse from Upwallstreet
Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) exceeded first-quarter delivery expectations with 1,967 vehicles, surpassing Visible Alpha's estimate of 1,745, despite a production shortfall. The company adjusted its strategy by reducing the prices of its Air sedans to counteract declining interest in EVs due to high interest rates. Lucid plans to expand its market with a mid-size car priced at $50,000 by 2026, directly competing with Tesla's Model Y. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) reported a quarterly decline in deliveries, the first since 2020, and faces challenges in producing affordable EVs and mass-producing its Cybertruck. Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) also reported higher-than-expected quarterly deliveries, indicating strong performance among EV startups despite a challenging market.
