I vividly recall the days when Jia Yueting was at the peak of his fame, managing not one but three car companies simultaneously—LeTV Supercar, FF, and Lucid Motors. Among these ventures, Lucid Motors stood out due to its impressive technological maturity and seemingly robust reliability.
Attached is an image showing Jia Yueting's Lucid electric vehicle, which struggled financially before being acquired by a local Ford affiliate.

Now, with Jia Yueting residing in the U.S., his activities remain shrouded in mystery. Meanwhile, Lucid Motors is actively seeking additional funding, possibly even considering a sale to Ford. Another relevant image highlights this transition.

Ford recently appointed a new CEO, Jim Hackett, who is currently conducting a comprehensive 100-day assessment of the company. Founded in 2007, Lucid Motors aims to begin mass-producing luxury electric vehicles in 2018, positioning itself as a strong competitor to Tesla.

To date, Lucid Motors has secured $100 million in funding from Asian investors. However, establishing a new production facility remains capital-intensive. The upcoming Arizona plant alone is projected to require $700 million.
Ford has historically shown a keen interest in cutting-edge technologies and startups. For instance, Argo AI, co-founded by former Google and Uber executives, has received a staggering $1 billion investment from Ford.
In addition to these developments, it's worth noting that Ford has also been exploring partnerships with traditional automakers to enhance its electric vehicle offerings. This strategic move reflects their commitment to staying ahead in the rapidly evolving automotive industry.
Despite the challenges faced by Lucid Motors, there is optimism surrounding its future under potential new ownership. The company's innovative approach and focus on high-end electric vehicles could prove invaluable in today's competitive market.
