Lucid City“we will actually next step is L3 where you actually have mind off on the highway and then that will is planned for 2028 and then L4 we're planning together with Nvidia by 2029 for our B2C customers.”@ 1:30 · open at this moment on YouTube ↗
Thesis at the time
BullishThis is a CES 2026 CEO interview (transcript of CEO speaking). The CEO highlights 8 consecutive record delivery quarters, 100%+ production growth in 2025, and supply chain localization (Panasonic batteries by mid-2026) to reduce tariff exposure. The autonomous roadmap targets L3 (hands-off highway) by 2028 and L4 with Nvidia by 2029 for B2C customers, alongside the Nuro/Uber robotaxi commercialization. No plans to enter the Chinese market.
Key arguments
- 8 consecutive record delivery quarters in 2025; Q3 to Q4 production more than doubled
- Supply chain issues from 2025 resolved; battery localization (Panasonic) to US by mid-2026
- Nvidia Drive integration for Gravity B2C L2+ autonomy by end of 2026
- L3 (mind-off highway) planned for 2028; L4 with Nvidia for B2C by 2029
- Nuro/Uber robotaxi in SF Bay Area within 18 months of partnership formation (by end of 2026)
- Lucid targets luxury and $50K premium segment — not competing with BYD/Tesla mass market
- No plans to enter China — no viable path to profit for western OEMs there
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- 2025 was a painful stock performance year; production targets were cut mid-year
- Supply chain surprises could recur despite optimism for 2026
