Inside Lucid Motors' Plan To Take On Tesla

How can you not compare then tesla makes electric cars and this is an electric car. Obviously they aren't competing in the same segment.. For now

Doesn’t matter what the CEO says. Tesla is the benchmark to which all EV’s will be compared.

@Josh , but it worked, innit?

It’s CNBC what’d u expect

Of course Lucid is squarly targeting Tesla and Tesla market share. But with a better product.

what technical fact did they acutely quot about there products that make you believe there better.remember there selling something

What, have you never heard of the famous brand called Jagwire?

Count me in😁

I ca be almost certain sHE had a few glasses of wine too many, hic!

She's an Australian,mate🤗

the exterior looks a lot better imp

Good point, however it's a lot easier to improve quality than mass production. So let's see, we would love some competition, it's beneficial for the end users

If it really matters you can just get it reupholstered people buying fully loaded model s and x should be able to afford it.

Dude, whoever is going to be looking at buying an EV will compare Tesla to competitors. So yes competition is against Tesla.

@Ziggi Mon Scared because they're up against ICE cars? That's like saying Ford was scared of competing horses back in 1903. Horses lost, ICE will too.

Ziggi Mon there’s nothing for him to be scared of. All American gas car makers are non profitable and near bankrupt yet Tesla is only US “car company” with a profit for 5 quarters Lol

Ziggi Mon I doubt anyone can compete with Teslas battery technology. Anyone who tries will end up selling 100k up cars or if they try to compete with price it’ll be for sure inferior in quality(software or hardware) and range.

Ziggi Mon the cars make a profit, the company keeps reinvesting in growth. That’s why Elon’s net worth keeps going up, and....well, yours isn’t.

Yeah and it was brutal 🥺...

I paused the video and came to the comments section immediately after she said that. 🤦‍♂️

@Jack Redford Yep that’s the correct way

Dude, whoever is going to be looking at buying an EV will compare Tesla to competitors. So yes competition is against Tesla.

@@OnlineSupportTeam slightly yes but this is much more laser focused. While tesla is more focused on the broader market ie the model 3 and model Y, a better business model. But this is almost solely going after the S-class

​@@OnlineSupportTeam Whoever is going to buy a TRUE Luxury vehicle won't look at Tesla. Tesla has the best EV's and that's what EV buyers will get, but the Model S doesn't have the traditional luxury that luxury buyers are looking for such as the the best metals, woods, materials, etc. for the interior of the vehicle.

Yeah this car is far too ugly to compete with those cars.

@@evilbred974 That's subjective. Once the Lucid is out, we'll see what the sales numbers say after about a year or 2.

Where is the $35k tesla that was promised 5 years ago?

@@chiquita683 Tesla has been selling the 35k model 3 for over a year

@@chiquita683 It's available just hidden as Tesla will basically give you a standard range plus model with software nerf www.greencarreports.com/news/1127490_the-35k-tesla-model-3-still-exists-off-menu

Lucid will need to produce cheaper vehicles in the future to stay relevant

@@chiquita683 you can buy it. My friend has is it

Reacher nailed it

So true, I think this is an inherent bias in big media, regarding the tech industry

Honestly this car isn't going to do that. It looks like a mid 90s Oldsmobile. It's so ugly. The interior isn't anything to write home about either. It looks basically the same as a Model S.
The range claims are just claims at this point. And if you listen to the executives in this video, it's all smarmy business jargon that really makes you think this car is 95% marketing and 5% engineering..

Factz!!!

Dude, whoever is going to be looking at buying an EV will compare Tesla to competitors. So yes competition is against Tesla.

It a long path though. And they don't have first mover advantage afforded Tesla. It's a totally different game.

There’s already another company developing Battery powered boats.

@@nunezificationr8304 I know. It's always better to have more players.
Hydrogen should also be taken seriously to fuel cargo ships and aeroplanes.

@@fobudomh Like Nikola ? :D

@@markythesharky8308 like Toyota.

@@fobudomh about cargo planes and planes, they're actually much more better well off with biofuels. Methane or cyanobacteria lipids are my top pick. Let's be real, there's a reason why Elon called FCEVs "fool cells". That's because making hydrogen and then converting it to electricity is much less efficient than, using the electricity. While it's true batteries will hinder truck's cargo and biofuels are barely mass produceable which makes hydrogen the best choice, however with planes and cargo ships, the demand is much lower so biofuels are better than hydrogen

Sounds like something a competitor to gas vehicles would say lol. He’s not an environmentalist, he’s a capitalist trying to compete.

@@b4u334 a gas competitor might be what we need to save the environment even if his intentions are just capitalist.

Abdirazak Ali True. I say it because I don’t want people committing post hoc fallacy. It’s because he’s a capitalist that he will be incidentally saving the environment. It’s not because he ends up saving the environment that it was his intention all along. That is, government regulation should not be used to push the market to act.

@@abibnoor he wouldn't have started a space company or a car company if that was the case. He would have started a new software project. Car companies car more known to fail then succeed. Just look how many car companies that existed 20 years ago compared to today

Xddddd

😄😄😄

EV companies are like weed stocks. There literally popping up every where. Let me remind you that Tesla is the 1st new car startup company in the LAST 100 years to actually be profitable. Most of these new EV companies will go out of business, not saying to Lucid but in general

@@alexng4 That's because they've got boatloads of government subsidies

@@fernandoiidetaboada9240 So did GM, Ford with those bailout money they haven't paid off. Tesla paid off their loan. 2nd, Ford and GM also have those boatload of government EV subsidies credits they can use also. Its not only unique to Tesla.

Lol. Solar tech is nowhere close to being able to do that

I wish but there are too many reasons why it wouldn't work with current technology. Too little surface area and current solar panels are too inefficient to produce a noticeable charge. There was a company that had the same idea and tried it but in their tests showed that they got only 1 mile or so of charge PER day. You're better off using Tesla's wall plug from your home.

Their factory in Casa Grande, AZ is complete for stage 1. They are now testing the robots to make sure the quality meets spec. So, get ready to believe.

I invested in CCIV I believe in them, my gut feeling tells me so

oh boy, its your lucky day

For a brief while, i questioned if I was pronouncing it wrong for all my life hahah.

In 10 years, Tesla will make most of their money by their charges Station.

@@NYC55B maybe in 5yrs, it's just like printer model, buy printer for cheap and pay premium for cartridges.

@@NYC55B I think tesla will be making their money from selling their batteries and self driving technology

First they said you couldn't do it... Then they said you could do it but it wasn't affordable... Then they said they're small or go like golf carts... Then they said the range was bad.... Then they said they were inconvenient... Like... at what point do all of these arguments just boil down to.... "I just don't want to change!" If EV's are faster, just as affordable, have just as much range, lower maintenance cost, lower fuel cost... at what point does it just become kind of silly to be relying so heavily on the internal combustion engine for vehicles? 7000 charging stations in the states now. That's 140 per state. That's 2 per county and growing fast. The fear is just that. Fear. It has very little to do with the practicality of operating.

Yeah it annihilates it but news articles are just fool of tards

When this presentation that Lucid put out specs on the plaid model S weren't available. Plaid beat the 0-60 by a good margin but the ranges were basically identical and the Air is a more luxuries vehicle. As a Tesla investor I'd like to see more good EV's to drive the overall market in that direction and Lucid might be a good EV maker (have to sell them before we can judge that).

@brent I totally agree. The more EV auto makers out there the better. I'm no Tesla fanboy, even though I do appreciate that they make great cars. I'm a Chevy Bolt owner myself.

And Plaid is HERE while Lucid is still years in the making. All of these Tesla killers are a joke.

@@matains88 Plaid isn't here, it will be available when the 4680 cells hit full production, likely in about a years time. Lucid has never been talked about as a Tesla kilker and that term is dead. It's playing to a different audience than Tesla and is more likely a Rolls Royce killer.

Exactly. He's been throwing out price drops and better range and performance as competitors unveil their offerings. I'm sure he's happy to see the EV market heat up

He's definitely been outspoken about his desire to get the industry moving that direction. They've even held open patents to promote the progress. That just shows how much the oil industry owns these ICE car manufacturers. Nobody has taken advantage and truly stepped up.

Musk has sucked a lot of people in .... Tesla shares are drastically over priced ... Musk even told shareholders it was over valued ... even if Tesla increases their production of cars by 1000% ... the company would still be over valued .... and Tesla actually do very little to improve cars footprint on the environment

@@pablorages1241 lmao, please learn how to use ellipses properly and stop trolling.

@@pablorages1241 Overpriced says who? Tesla stock prices have never played by the rules just like the company. That's why people like me make a lot of money owning their stock. Why do you think they're so successful? Cuz Elon makes outstanding decisions for their product lines that, so far, have revolutionized their respective industries, and will continue to do so. It's bigger than the cars. They're a tech company. When he's gone, then we can talk traditionally about their stock prices

Model S was launched in 2014!! . Enough said really!! Many journeys ahead for Lucid many cliff edges. In 3 years we might know if they will survive. In 5 years they might maybe have volume production. Where do you think Tesla will be in 2028??? Seriously!!! To be mentioned in the same breathe as Tesla is nonsense. Maybe they develop somewhat quicker than Tesla, but maybe not. Or maybe they go bust. But From Model S to now was 9 years for Tesla. And they had a clear runway with no real competition to mention. I think to concertina 9 years into 5 is extremely unlikely. No Tesla have escaped the coup!! That's why the system is trying to hold them back!! It's their only option. Horses and stable doors come to mind.

No no they can't Tesla just unveiled the plaid model s a 30-40k cheaper car that absolutely destroys lucid in every spec so Somone with an actual brain wich would you chose 1 Tesla model s plaid and a model 3 or just one worse car . If you chose option 2 then you are limited by your brain boy 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

buy an electric porsche then lmao

Keep dreaming.

Not everyone is found with self driving cars. I am not. If i buy a car i want to drive it,feel it and connect to my machine. There is no gained advantage with self driving cars other than being a useless commodity for lazy people.

Gustavo Aragon True, but it's not only good for the lazy people but it could gain you money when you go to a mall by acting as a taxi. There is a large amount of people who are interested in it

I don’t trust self driving tech and I don’t think it’ll be allowed on the streets by law in the next 50 years.

@Kenan Gedik Elon Musk believes he can do it within 10-15 yrs. Even if it is 50 it is important to start now so that you can have the data by the time

To be fair, Tesla will have to master it, too

@Muha C that's about to change.. Its like Apple vs samsung.. Samsung eventually came up..

waaaaay better

I rewound to make sure I heard it correctly... LMAO

LOL best comment

This 👆

Most of these clips are from Lucid hour and a half release presentation, they talked about self driving some but not to many details. They did show the sensors that are installed and they are almost identical to the Tesla sensors. My guess is they are going to let Tesla solve the FSD problem and then just license their software in the Lucid vehicles. That's a win win for both, Tesla gets 5 to 10k for every vehicle Lucid sells and Lucid gets FSD without the billions investment needed to make it work.

@@BrentTJo thank you for this update. It makes zero sense for Lucid to chase that thread, they just aren't set up for it monetarily or timing-wise.

I agree. If they working trying to make a $25,000 and under-car before tesla then they would be really doing something

Agree dude. And the working class keeps being demonized as climate change deniers when these dorks wont even walk down the hill they live on.

@Jack Redford they started out with the roadster but did move on to the s. however tesla was the only ev manufacturer that had a decent name to themselves at the time (2010ish), and they realized they needed to tackle the lower end market in order to survive. it's a different time now with so many other ev startups angling at every price in order to compete with tesla's model 3 and now their $25,000 car. lucid seems to be trying to go the same route tesla did but it may not work to the same extent it did with tesla.

It looks like a 1990s oldsmobile :P

That should serve them well because they can be acquired by Ford when they burn their cash. The Lucid sedan will become a $60K luxury sedan with hard plastic inside.

@Jack Redford Found the boomer.

@Jack Redford
You bet.

By the time they get this to market Tesla will have already Upgraded the Model S with better performance, batteries AND a lower price.

If it's cheaper and serve its purpose then self driving assistant can go out the window. You can't left Tesla drive itself without any attention longer than 7 minutes anyway.

if you own a tesla, how many times do you actually drive it on autopilot compared to having to charge it and deal with the poor build quality ?

Tesla is competing with luxury brands like Mercedes, Audi and BMW so Lucid is inevitably going to end competing for the same customers. So regardless if they want to; They are competing with Tesla. It's like building a space launch company with re-usable rockets and claiming that you're not competing against SpaceX, you're competing against Roscosmos, Arianespace and United Launch Alliance.

@@LAG09 It would be hard to consider tesla a real luxury car manufacturer.

@@xsforreal So the Model S isn't a luxury sedan and the X isn't a luxury SUV? Because they never made anything that could qualify as being for regular working class people until the Model 3.

@@LAG09 Expensive does not equal luxury. The interior of the model S is not "luxury" by many companies standards.
The word you're looking for is Minimal.

@@xsforreal There's a difference between minimalism by cost cutting and minimalism by stylistic choice. Tesla was the latter and the Model S absolutely went up against up against Mercedes Benz S-class, BMW 5-series, Cadillac CTS, etc. in both equipment *and* price.
