Lucid Motors CEO Peter Rawlinson claimed in a recent interview that Lucid has surpassed Tesla in core technology, stating that Tesla is currently distracted. This assertion has sparked a debate among users, with some questioning Lucid's ability to produce and sell vehicles at a profit compared to Tesla's established market presence and profitability. The discussion also touched on Lucid's need for Tesla's charging network and the high cost of Lucid's technology, which some argue negates its technological advantage if it cannot be produced profitably.
