Tesla Inc. still commands about 43% of the U.S. electric vehicle market despite a sales decline, with new contenders like Lucid Group and Rivian seeking to capitalize on Tesla's challenges. Lucid has reported an increase in interest from Tesla customers but faces obstacles including its high price range—starting at $67,000, which contrasts with the expected affordable EV market. Financial stability is a concern, as Lucid produced only 2,212 vehicles in one quarter and experiences operational losses, raising questions about its future viability amidst economic downturns.
Despite the challenges, Lucid is experiencing some interest from Tesla customers who seek alternatives, showcasing a potential market shift driven by Tesla's recent struggles.
Lucid faces significant hurdles including high vehicle prices that conflict with the anticipated mass EV adoption price point, as well as the critical issue of financial viability.
