I think the Koenigsegg motors are great and small, but only produce that power in a burst and not a sustained draw. I could be wrong, but that's what I remember from a previous thread.Inside of a Pagani Huayra I got to see at a Sotheby’s auction. The car is so insanely distinctive and bespoke I’d be surprised if they were willing to use anyone else’s tech. Koenigsegg I think just developed an EV motor with more power/Kg than Lucid, and I’m not sure what Rimac EV motors are like, but I think those vehicles are in another league which I’d be surprised if Lucid could partner with them for much, Saudi connection or not. I’d be quite happy if Lucid did contribute to anything on a Pagani though, the cars are a work of art.

Wow, so Lucid power train is better for sustained power. Pretty impressive. Plus the graph runs out at 10K RPM, don’t our motors go to like 24k RPM?I think the Koenigsegg motors are great and small, but only produce that power in a burst and not a sustained draw.

One of the most cool thing about Pagani was that exposed gear shift mechanim. Maybe they will come up with something for an electric motor.Inside of a Pagani Huayra I got to see at a Sotheby’s auction.

I've been hoping that they've been holding back the news to time it with a turning share price. The share price has started to turn but still crickets. But the PR drip has been decent, so maybe it eventually will come.Speaking of who's next, whatever happened to those rumors from months ago that Lucid and Hyundai were about to announce a sourcing deal to put Lucid powertrain components in the new Genesis luxury line?
I don't really see any signs that Lucid's licensing strategy is bearing fruit. That does and doesn't surprise me.

CEER did sign with Hyundai, so I really hope we see some type of quid pro quo.
Could be, and I really hope so.
I've been wondering, though, if the slowdown in EV adoption hasn't become a factor. A few years ago when everyone wanted to catch the EV train before it left the station, some of the big manufacturers seemed to be struggling with getting their in-house technology to the point it could compete with the head start Tesla had on them, and Lucid could offer some of them a licensing solution. But now the slowdown in the move toward EVs has bought them more time and allowed their natural bias toward keeping core technology in house to rule the call.
I'm speculating, of course, but I do wonder.
