LUCID MOTORS Case Study outline:
• History of Lucid Motors: Lucid Motors was established in 2007, where it initially concentrated on producing electric automobile powertrains and batteries for other automotive producers. Peter Rawlinson, the company’s CEO, initially was the vice president at TESLA, while Derek Jenkins, the vice president, previously served as Mazda North America Operations’ Head of Design.
• LUCID Motors Investors: Lucid Motors has seen investments from JAFCO, Venrock, Mitsui, Tsing Capital and the Public Investment Fund (PIF) from Saudi Arabia. For instance, the PIF funding was valued at more than $1 billion. The investment that ended in 2019 was projected to fund Lucid Air model’s testing and engineering, the establishment of Lucid’s manufacturing branch in Arizona, and Lucid Air’s commercial production and worldwide strategy starting in North America.
• LUCID’s Global Operation: Lucid Group is planning to establish its first overseas factory in Saudi Arabia. The projected facility is estimated to produce 155,000 vehicles annually and serve the domestic market. The transition to battery-electric automotive is estimated to solve the worldwide energy crisis. In addition, the Saudi Arabia government believes the Manufacturing plant will create employment opportunities for its people. Thus, it fully supports Lucid Group.
