Lucid Bets on Tesla S/X Exodus to Capture 350k U.S. Owners

Lucid presents Tesla’s decision to retire the Model S and Model X as a major sales opportunity, estimating about 350,000 U.S. S/X owners could switch to its Air and Gravity, which offer more range, faster charging, premium interiors, and lower starting prices (Air from $71k vs Model S at $95k; Gravity from $80k vs Model X at $100k). It plans to sell roughly 25,000–27,000 vehicles this year, with Cosmos and Earth expanding mass-market appeal later; Tesla remains the U.S. EV leader, but the shift could boost rivals in the luxury segment amid Lucid’s production delays for Gravity.
