Lucid has decided to postpone the launch of its future lower-cost electric car while it carries out a deep internal reorganization. The American company wants to first bring order to production and processes after months that have been difficult for finances and industrial management.
For the European market, including Italy, the news matters because that model was meant to broaden access to the brand. Timelines are now longer, and the focus remains on the models already in the range while the company waits for a firmer phase to support its comeback.
