Meaningless on a profit basis, as it’s nothing but an AIR sedan with three motors at 250K dollars. It won’t help their finances and it won’t help ramping up production. If it wasn’t for the Saudi’s capital (and those retail investors who believe that anyone can be Tesla and that Lucid CEO may be as smart as Elon) they would be already DEAD.

BuyLowSellHighTrader : Prototype is easy, production is hard.
RDK79 : Test drove the Lucid. Nice but seriously don’t need 0-60 in 3s, much less the Saphire’s <2s at $250K.
