Lucid making money moves and I’m here for it

Lucid is making desperate moves. They have no choice but to partner with others. I’m curious as to when are they planning to actually make money on this venture? Uber, Lucid, Nuro…..none of them are in this partnership out of the kindness of their hearts. So how long would it take for them to see profits out of this when it has to be carved up three ways? That’s what I want to know.

@@teerex65 You are right. My understanding is that Uber would be buying 20k of Lucid fleet so Lucid should be able to book this as revenue and this will build brand awareness among retail for the company when this fleet is rolled out to the public using Uber’s network

@@daShadoSage Because they’ve been around since 2021 and through 2025 so far they’ve made about 30k cars total. So I don’t think the question was too out of bounds when considering the majority of those 30k cars were Lucid Airs. Now they’re making a new product so it’s to be expected that the start of production will be slower.

Yea it’s going up 🤣 Tesla is so far ahead on software and making cars. Lucid is a cash grab for early shareholders.

The fact that they pivoted from the original goal to this should tell you everything you need to know and it’s no way they build the cars needed by the deadline

UBER probably needs to take over Nuro and Lucid outright for this to work properly otherwise you’re just herding cats.

Hope it works, but too expensive compared to Tesla’s hardwares. I think vision alone when refined can be just as good.

Tesla has been refining vision-only for a decade, and you still can’t let the car drive itself and still isn’t nearly as safe as Waymo. Tesla got some driver assistance hardware and software out early, but at this point it’s not cheaper than driver assistance hardware going into $15,000 Chinese EVs and it’s far behind Waymo in operating an actual driverless robotaxi service.
