What Lucid does

US maker of premium battery-electric sedans (Air) and SUVs (Gravity), majority-owned by Saudi Arabia's PIF.

Earns from selling and leasing its own cars, plus technology supply such as the powertrain deal with Aston Martin. Its majority owner, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), supplies capital for the build-out, including a factory in Arizona and an assembly plant in Saudi Arabia, and a Saudi government agreement supports vehicle demand.

What could go right
