Lucid Motors CEO Targets 577 Electric Cars For 2021, Won’t Commit To 20,000 Target For 2022
Lucid Motors (NYSE: CCIV) CEO Peter Rawlinson announced in a recent CNBC interview that the company is currently targeting production of over 577 of the Lucid Air electric vehicle models for 2021. This, as per the CEO, leaves the company “on track” for their plan.
When asked about targeting 20,000 vehicles for 2022, Rawlinson instead shared that the company sees “significant growth” next year but remained noncommittal to a target number.
Lucid Motors is planning to go public through SPAC Churchill Capital IV (NYSE: CCIV), which dropped by 4% Tuesday following the comments. It is also down nearly 70% from its 52-week highs of US$64.86 at the NYSE.
