Similar to how GM’s Equinox had a $30,000 target price?

Sure— Whatever helps him get out of bed.

The profile under wraps in the photo looks awesome – like a sports wagon, but will probably be marketed as a “CUV.”

Hopefully, they can stay solvent long enough to build it which at this point isn’t a sure thing.

Sure. Add the cup holders and it’ll go up to 55k

Looks like a lucidified Toyota signia.

Oh they’re just going to make a car that is half the price of their cheapest current offering? That’s definitely believable and not a lie.

If it can keep the same efficiency with a smaller lighter car with less battery that would be a game changer
redditissocoolyoyo
Its simple. Make the air 15% smaller and price it at 48k. Done. Sell a shit load of them and economies of scale will help them break even possibly, or lose less per car.

Why are there just haters in this thread lmao
Rivian announced cars that cost nearly half of what their current offerings are too

I think a lot of this will depend on interest rates, the american consumer and the state of the economy. All things he cant control but im sorry 48,000 is a lot of money for a car for most people. But still a bigger marker than a 100k sedan so wish them best of luck.
I dont think the saudis will let them go under

They’ll be stamping these things out like iPhones at some point. We’re still in the early adopter phase in that sense right?
I mean surely these costs do their very best to cover cost at X volume but in say Lucid’s case; this also includes covering costs of a new company, new tech learning curve costs, and the costs associated with developing and infrastructure to make EV work on a significant scale.
Edit: Forgot to include the inherent “everybody gets paid” costs.

Sadly they did the opposite of proving larger scale series production with their air sedan.
Getting a lucid air fixed is a shitshow from what I’ve heard. A mid size moderately priced car will be little better.

I really hope this has great range, the biggest thing holding me back from an EV is most of them have 2-300 miles of range at best. If they can make a midsize car with 500+ miles of usable range I’d be really happy.

Would be a competitive buy if it also has $7500 EV credit.

India’s producing many EVs including the 4-D hatchback Tata Tiago EV that is succeeding in their market for under $10K.

Yes…but still won’t sell many, few people want a car from a company that will be out of business in a few years.

How the hell is Lucid still in business?

Tesla (S/3/X/Y) and Rivian (R1/R2/R3) both put a moon roof on their cars. I don’t understand why Lucid wants their customers to pay an extra 4k for a moon roof. That’s insane.

This car is still 3 years away from actually being delivered to anyone. Maybe a few dozen deliveries in Q4 of 2026 but the actual launch of the vehicle is realistically going to look like 2027. That’s assuming there aren’t going to be any major setbacks or delays.

its more than 2 years away. Its irrelevant. Hopefully they get Gravity out quickly and hopefully that can sell at great number than Air.
