United StatesLucid Motors is undergoing significant leadership changes under its new CEO, Silvio Napoli, following a period of restructuring and job cuts. The company announced that its former Chief Financial Officer, Taoufiq Boussaid, is leaving, while hiring several new executives including a new CFO, CTO, and others to streamline operations. Napoli aims to 'simplify the company' by reducing the number of direct reports and fostering closer collaboration among leadership teams. These moves follow a recent round of layoffs aimed at aligning production with demand and saving approximately $158 million annually. Despite delivering 3,953 vehicles in Q2, Lucid has yet to achieve the market success it projected during its 2021 IPO. The company is preparing to launch a more affordable SUV, the Cosmos, and is collaborating with Nuro and Uber on a luxury robotaxi service.
