Looks like Lucid are turning into a great investment for PIF...
Tesla rival Lucid Motors halved its 2022 production target on Wednesday, citing “extraordinary supply chain” challenges as it tries to ramp up production and meet “strong demand”.
The California-based group, backed by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, said 2022 production is now estimated between 6,000 and 7,000 cars, down from an earlier projection of 12,000 to 14,000, which was a cut from a start-of-year forecast of 20,000 vehicles.
Shares of the electric carmaker were already down 50 per cent this year, reflecting numerous challenges in scaling up production of its Lucid Air — a luxury electric vehicle that starts at $89,000 and was named MotorTrend’s Car of the Year for 2022. Shares fell an additional 12 per cent after-hours on Wednesday.
