Thesis at the time
BullishIn this Bloomberg interview repost, CEO Peter Rawlinson reveals the Gravity SUV achieves 450 miles of EPA range with only a 123 kWh battery pack, demonstrating superior efficiency over competitors. He confirms the midsize EV for the mass market is on track for late 2026 production in Saudi Arabia at 150K capacity, and discloses that Lucid is in active talks with multiple OEMs for technology licensing partnerships. With $5.16B liquidity and PIF backing, Lucid has runway well into 2026.
Key arguments

- Lucid in active talks with multiple OEMs for technology licensing partnerships
- Aston Martin partnership already in place for Sapphire technology in hypercars
- Company liquidity of $5.16B provides runway well into 2026
