What if? -- maintaining Airs if Lucid US disappears

I thought about this before pulling the plug on my old Tesla. The Saudi Sovereign Fund is a big time investor in Lucid. I figured they have enough money at risk to sustain their investment until profitability.
Well, you are not driving Saudi's Sovereign Fund, test drive the actual car and report back
 
The Lucid Air is the best car I have ever driven or owned. I continue to drive C6 427 6 speed Corvette, and a truck, and a 488 Ferrari Spider. I love all of those vehicles. All around the Air is the best. If I could only have one it would be the Air.

I've lost all interest in Ferrari's after owning the Air. Future is EV. Hybrids are a stopgap.

A deer ran into me so I went to the service center in KoP thinking they would replace the bumper cover (car works fine-- just dented hood and torn plastic on bumper cover). They sent me to a Main Line exotic shop. I parked between a red Scudaria and a yellow Huracan. I felt sorry for the owners...yes the exotics are beautiful beyond words, and sound heavenly, but ...

sorry I was off-topic... there is no way Lucid will disappear... the car is too good.

car companies that make crappy cars (looking at you, Chrysler) do fail, and even "pretty" cars (looking at you, Ferrari) do fail.
But they are still around, and still have people to fix them.
 
Does anyone remember how often it was said Tesla would go bankrupt? ...and I don't see them going belly up any time soon either. There is a FB Lucid group I manage and someone attempted to post a youTube video giving 3 reasons why Lucid will go bankrupt and I not only denied the post, but blocked the 'new' member who clearly just wanted to shake things up and cause doubt.

There is no crystal ball folks. Either way, I'm very much enjoying my Lucid and excellent service I've received so far.

There are so many. Which group do you manage?
 
Thanks to all for your input on this thread. I definitely wasn't looking for (impossible) certainty, just for others' ways of holding the inherent uncertainty of loving a vehicle from a company that still has at least some reasonable chance of failing to make it through the daunting ramp-up process--they'll need to have at least most of their strategic decisions successfully align with the fickle desires of the market, while also honing both production quality and quantity enough to elevate beyond early-adopters' tolerance for glitches. I do think they'll make it, but I'm not counting on it...

All that said, I put in my order this week for a semi-loaded Pure—time will tell whether I hedge with a lease; that will depend on the terms, and/or my preference to just own it long enough to bridge to my next Lucid in a 5-8 years....which I have a fair degree of hope will be paid for by the 10K or so of #LCID I've snapped up in these recent downturns!
(FWIW, a 10-25% chance of failure is easier to embrace on a modest stock buy, than on my ride!!)

Thanks again, all; really appreciating this community.
 
The Lucid is sleek, stylish and refined. Their tech in motor and battery technology is top in class. Their design aesthetics in styling has bled over into other brands as other brands have taken notice in their high technology. The comfort in ride as well as driving dynamics are far superior to any other brand, but a few. Lucid is at the top of their industry and will continue to be when it comes to technology. The continued success of satisfied owners will lead the way for Lucid’s present and future. They’re doing a great job.
