It’s a tough time to be an electric-vehicle startup, and luxury brand Lucid is no exception.
The startup, founded by former Tesla Chief Engineer Peter Rawlinson, posted second-quarter results on Monday that once again fell short of analyst expectations. The company posted $150.9 million in revenue from the 1,404 vehicles it sold in the three-month period. Coupled with a net loss of roughly $764 million, the results suggest a loss of more than $500,000 per vehicle.
