  • Lucid's CEO Peter Rawlinson confirmed there are no plans to launch a $20,000 EV, but the company may license its technology to enable cheaper vehicles.
  • Lucid's new engineering center in Southfield, Michigan, will support the development of the Gravity SUV and a midsize EV platform set for 2026.
  • Lucid's Air model outsold competitors like the Tesla Model S in Q3, despite broader media narratives of slowing EV sales.
