TRANSCRIPT
Fitz Middleton: I’ll turn the floor over to you for your presentation and I’ll remind the audience that they can manually access the full presentation on the right-hand side of their screen.
Peter Rawlinson: Thank you so much Fitz for that generous introduction. And wherever you’re joining us from today, whether it’s good morning, good afternoon -- I guess it’s good afternoon in New York – hello to everyone from here in the heart of Silicon Valley where I’m at Lucid’s headquarters.
If you look at slide number 1, this is our car, the Lucid Air, and we’re really close to getting this into production now in our new factory in Arizona. We’re going to start selling these to members of the public in the second half of 2021. It’s coming soon.
And if we skip then to slide number 4 please, our mission really is to inspire the adoption of sustainable transportation. I really believe that we’ve got an impending environmental crisis and that mankind needs to move to sustainable mobility. And it needs to do that urgently.
Our first product, Lucid Air there, is unashamedly a high-end product. We’re starting the Dream Edition after the federal tax incentives at $161,500. We’re going to bring the price point down to under $70,000 as soon as possible and bring successively more affordable, more reachable cars into the marketplace, increasing the volume as we progress, throughout this decade.
Moving to slide 5, we recognize that it’s not just about electric cars or even creating the first product, the Lucid Air, this is about defining a new brand, creating a new brand. And our brand draws upon from heart and mind, the state of California, the heart, the iconic landscape, the dream that is the California dream, California cool if you like.
And we link that with mind, the associations with Silicon Valley technology, that this place is so famous for. And I think that those heart and mind value propositions resonate internationally.
Moving – that was slide 5, sorry. So moving on to slide 6. This is our first product, the Lucid Air and we’re unashamedly starting with a high-end product. But this has to be a technological tour de force. Why? Because we’re up against Mercedes Benz. This is a Mercedes competitor. We’re up against Mercedes S-Class. We’re up against BMW’s 7 Series and the Audi A8. These are grandee marks, that all have one thing in common, they’re gasoline powered.
But behold, Mercedes EQS is coming out this year. That’s great. So this is going to go head to head with the new electric offering from Mercedes. So we have to be the best technology play. That is what we’ll build our brand proposition upon.
So let’s take a look inside. Slide 7 shows you the interior of the car. In particular here you see this executive rear seating inspired by aircraft seats, which is an option we’ll bring in for 2023. The car is designed around a revolutionary new construct, which we call the Space Concept. This is where we make the car smaller and more compact on the outside and more roomy and more luxurious on the inside, with more leg and comfort.
And how have we been able to achieve that? By miniaturizing the electric powertrain. So it tees up more room for the people. But in order to do that, we had to master electric powertrain technology in-house. And that’s a core capability in this company.
Moving on to slide 8, you see the standard bench-style rear seat we’re actually launching the car with this year. It’s four-stroke, five-seater sedan. And moving up front to the cockpit in slide number 9, you see this beautiful what we call the glass cockpit, this curved multi-screen touchscreen array, in line of sight with the driver, augmented by a retractable center screen for deeper dive immersive functions.
We’ve taken the approach that in essence, less is more, in terms of the screens. We’ve not gone for a huge oversize screen system. We feel that this is discrete, imminently usable; understated; and it’s super safe. It’s on line of sight with the driver and providing great functionality and great ergonomics.
Now, moving on to slide number 10. This really is the litmus test, in my view. This is kind of Peter’s view of the world in defining who’s who in the worlds of EV tech. And just as if you’re an Olympic sprinter, what is your time for the 100 meter sprint? That defines you as a sprinter. Don’t tell me how strong your legs are; how quickly you are to the blocks; how good you are on the last 10 meters of the dash. Tell me your time to a 100th of a second. Well, I think it’s 9.58 defines Usain Bolt.
Right. Well, I can distill EV tech companies down to one single metric and it’s efficiency. What I mean by that, it’s how far can I go for a given amount of energy? So it’s miles for kilowatt hour. And everybody, we’re going to have to get used to this. It’s the equivalent, the electric equivalent of miles per gallon. It’s miles per kilowatt hour.
And this is where risk stacks up compared with the other EV rudders and riders. And here you see just how far ahead Tesla is from all the others. This is why Tesla’s worth so much money. Here is the metric that discloses it all. This shows Tesla being five, six years ahead of the pack, in efficiency, is a core metric.
And look where Lucid is. We’re really focused on this. And this is not just due to batteries. This is our whole value proposition of our integrated electric powertrain.
So how does this stack up in terms of the product? And moving on to slide 11, we see here how our per car compares with the front-running electric vehicles. And what we’ve got really is a paradigm breaker. We see that Lucid Air can actually provide an unprecedented combination of range and efficiency.
And this was hither to help that these attributes were mutually exclusive, range and efficiency. You can either have one or the other. But actually, we’ve been able to combine them both, particularly so in our launch edition, the limited Dream Edition.
And then moving on to slide 12, you see just how Lucid Air compares with its natural market competitor, the Mercedes S-Class. And really, it’s hands-down in all objective metrics.
But subjectively, driving the car is a different world. It’s got shattering performance. It’s got great composure. It’s like a super sports car in a sedan format. More compact, more agile, more sporty, more fun to drive, imminently usable in a big city and yet, it’s got this super cool really very modern vibe to it. It’s redefining this post-luxury, this notion of post-luxury.
And then moving on to slide 13 we see four different trim levels of Lucid Air, which we’ll offer, starting with Dream Edition, over 1000 horsepower, and gradually moving down market, as I’ve said, gradually making the car more attainable. And what really excites me here is the Air Pure, which we plan to get to market next year at a price point below $70,000.
This makes this incredible machine, this incredible sporting sedan with amazing range and amazing attributes, much more in reach of many more people, which is really important for the environment.
And underpinning all this, if we look at slide number 14, we see the LEAP platform. This is the Lucid Electric Advanced Platform. And we’re going to use this not just for Lucid Air, but for our next product, the SUV, which would pull in Project Gravity. And Project Gravity is going to go into our factory in Arizona in 2023. And we’re going to get the factory ready for that.
And this skateboard platform is 100% designed in-house, embodying all the EV technology, entirely in-house. This is what differentiates us from so many of these other EV startups. The technology is all built in this platform.
Moving on to slide 15, we see Project Gravity. These are our sneak-peak preview shots. We’ve actually changed the design a bit since then and it’s much cooler, even cooler again. And we’re really going to reimage what an SUV can be, using this Space Concept, bigger on the inside, more compact on the outside, to make a three-row super, super sporting, all electric SUV with great range and great characteristics.
But this is just the beginning. Looking at slide 16 we see here we have a beguiling range of products planned for the next decade, a product plan which has been very carefully thought through.
Now, I’ve mentioned in-house technology. So if you move to slide 17, we see the five key categories of that technology. Battery pack; motor and transmission; inverter; our bidirectional charging, which we call the Wunderbox; and the software that combines all this together.
And I cannot place sufficient emphasis upon the fact that this is 100% created, engineered, conceived, heavily painted, in-house; and we’re manufacturing all the electric powertrain in our new factory in Arizona. This is too precious to entrust to outsource. This is our core IP, our core technology.
And as Fitz has said, our battery pack draws upon now a number of years’ experience, being the sole battery supplier to the World Championship Electric Race Car Series. Our motor and transmission have made dramatic advances in not just efficiency, but absolute compactness, our unit that’s 74 kilograms a drive unit, which comprises motor, transmission and inverter and differential, and produce up to 670 horsepower. And it’s I could fit that inside a standard airline flight bag. It’s quite remarkable.
Our inverter is a wonderful thing. We’re getting over 90 horsepower per liter. No one else is ever close. And this is partly due to our ultra-high voltage architecture, over 900 volts. Tesla uses a 400-volt system. That was based upon the tech that really powered Model X with the tech that was available back in 2010. Modern EVs are really moving to ultra-high voltages, Porche’s at 800 volts. Lucid Air will launch at 924 volts.
But it’s not just about our car technology, it’s the application of this technology for other things, other arenas and industry. So if you move to slide 18, I envisage, I have a vision for the company, to make Lucid Group of companies encompass three divisions. It’s our cars and it’s going to be energy storage and then the third division, our technologies as a technology supplier.
So on our energy storage, we’ve got our first prototype up and running here at our head office in California. We’re linking that to a solar farm off the roof. I think that’s going to happen just next week. And then we’re going to make a beta prototype version of that to really make our factory in Arizona much more sustainable, in terms of its energy utilization. And then, I hope to industrialize this as a system, commercialize it in 2022. That’s the vision.
And then as a technology supplier, the third division of Lucid Group, we’ve got a great example already with what we do for the world championship motor sport as a battery supplier. But my vision is that we could truly mass industrialize electric powertrain components and systems, in a way that no one has done before.
Right now we see components and systems, which are not truly designed for mass manufacture, kind of being forced into mass production. We’ve taken an approach of truly design engineering for mass production, from the outset. And that may surprise many, because you see, Lucid Air, the first product of ours, as a relatively high-end product, you think that could be quite expensive to manufacture. And yet it’s my passion to make the electrification of that car truly mass productionizable, and very cost effective as a consequence.
And that’s what’s really going to have a big impact upon the world. And that’s why I want to supply our tech, not just to other car manufacturers who may not have that sort of technology, but also perhaps we can help disrupt other industries, agriculture, heavy equipment, marine come to mind.
But furthermore, I think there’s going to be an explosion of eVTOL aircraft in the next decade. And I think we’ve got at Lucid what all those electric aircraft companies need, which is really gravimetrically energy dense and power dense, gravimetrically power dense as well, integrated electric powertrain system, battery, motor, transmission, inverter and the software. Turnkey solution. It’s just a gift for eVTOL.
Now I mentioned a lot about design for mass production and I think there’s a great slide here on slide 19. If you move to slide 19, you see a great example. This is our battery module. We’re taken a modular approach to the way we build our world-class battery pack. And these modules are actually on display. We have six stores open now across the U.S., two in Silicon Valley, two in Los Angeles, and two in Florida.
We’re opening and very proud to be opening a store in Manhattan in the Meatpacking District in the week of the 25th of April. So please if you get a chance, come along and check that out.
And this is a module which is a single injection-moulded part where all the electrical connections in these bus bars that you see, these finger style bus bars, are a Lucid world paint, are all obviously encapsulation moulded. They’re moulded as a single shot integrally with the plastic. This is like a Lego brick. It can be churned out by the millions.
And one of these holds 321 700 cells which we secure from LG Chem. And each one of these modules represents just over five kilowatt hours. So we can have a modular pack which runs at different energy capacities and even different voltages, through this Lego brick approach.
No one else is making this as productionizable as this. This is a single part, a robot puts all these connections into the mould first. The plastic is shot, out pops the single part, which is the main structure and electrical for architecture for our module. Super, super mass producible.
And we make these in our new LMP plant, which leads to slide number 20. We have two factories in Arizona. One is dedicated specifically to make our integrated powertrain. This is where we make the battery modules that you’ve just seen; and put those into a pack – we put 22 of these into our Lucid Air pack for the extended range. And you’ve got just 18 of them into the standard pack.
And what do we do with that extra space? Well, where we leap those 4 to make go from 22 down to 18, we trade extra space in the rear passenger’s footwell to make the ergonomics a little bit better. So there’s a little trade in the car to choosing super long range or a very good range with enhanced rear seat ergonomics.
We do this – we make all these parts, our systems, in our powertrain manufacturing plant. That’s where we make the battery pack, motors; we assemble the transmissions; and we make our Wunderbox; we make the inverter, the whole system.
And then that just goes down the road to slide number 21. We take by truck in slide 20, five miles down the road to slide 21, which is our AMP factory in Arizona. Now this is our very first purpose-built factory in North America for electric cars. And what you have here is a factory we designed and engineered and conceived and got manufactured and create, built in record time.
We started construction there in December of 2019; and we actually had a pilot line or prototype cars being created there in September of 2020. And you see the two buildings there, this is slide 21. The building in the foreground is our body shop and that’s highly automated. It’s full of robots. And that’s where we make the body shell for the Lucid Air.
And we make that out of three key technologies, which we bring to bear, stampings, extrusions and castings. And these are riveted, self-piercing riveted and flow-drill screwed together with an epoxy adhesive. So this is aircraft style construction, state of the art. The car is not spot-welded together. It’s built like an aircraft. It’s bonded and riveted. And that’s the building in the foreground that makes that.
So then you can see just a little connection between the two buildings at the back of the building in the foreground. It goes into the big double-story building in the background, which is our big paint shop. And what we’ve done is we’ve invested long term, a long-term strategy. I think long term. I think in terms of 15 year plans for the company.
And that site is good in its fullest form for 365,000 units per annum. And what we’ve done is we’ve built and invested in a paint shop building, which will serve us for that full 365,000 per annum volume, later in this decade. And what we’ve been able to do is use the downsize, the downstairs of this oversized paint shop, to actually use as our general assembly floor to save money for the immediate term.
So actually, we’re building the main assembly lines downstairs in what ultimately will all be paint, but we’re using just the upstairs of the paint shop. And that factory as it stands is up and running already. Because we’ve already started building pre-production units of Lucid Air.
We’ve just recently taken the delivery of about the 30th of a run of about a hundred that we’re going to make now on our run-up to production, where we’re really finessing the quality. Each one just baby steps gets a little bit better quality.
And we’ve got 250 suppliers from right round the world supplying anecdotally around 3,000 parts. Many of them have done very well against the backdrop of the pandemic. But many have struggled. And we’re really helping those suppliers help us, because a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. And it’s exactly the same with the car.
We need to get the quality right and we’ve decided that it’s got to be quality, quality, quality. And that will take what time is necessary to get this right. And that’s why we’re building all these production, pre-production cars right now as I speak.
I’m particularly proud though of the standard of the paint that’s come from our paint shop there. It’s world class. It’s actually the best – I would say it’s the best water-based paint finish I’ve ever seen. It’s right up there. And we just need to get all the parts to that level of quality. Many of them are there. We’re going to gradually funnel this to a super quality product and get that ready for start of production in the second half of this year.
Now, I spoke a lot about the product and also the factory. There’s a third key pillar of activities that’s going on within the company. And that leads me to slide number 22. And here we see a great example of the Lucid showrooms. As I say, we’ve opened six so far. One here in Silicon Valley at our headquarters. We’ve got another one at Valley Fair in San Jose. We’ve got one in Beverly Hills and one at Century City in West LA. And we’ve opened in Miami and West Palm Beach.
And in about three weeks’ time I hope to have the opportunity to visit our store, for our store opening in Manhattan. And that will be the 7th. We plan to have about 22 showrooms, which we call studios, and service centers open by the end of this year, right across the USA. And we are positioning those strategically to match the demographics of our preorders.
Now we’re also supporting that with a Lucid mobile service van, because we’re cognizant that we can’t possibly build out a sufficient real estate covering the geography of the US in the timescale. But we will have a great advantage here. Because the cars are all super connected, they will be able to feed back data to us of their state of health and well-being on a regular basis, throughout their life. So we should, in a very high proportion of cases, have forewarning of any ailment of the car before it actually happens.
And if you move to slide 23, I think this shows some of these locations which are currently planned. And you get a real sense for the vibe and the ambiance of how the architecture and design sensibility of these stores and of these studios, really set off the car to best effect. Again, it’s this fusion of art and science of architectural sensibility, the two pillars of the brand. The heart and mind, the California cool meets the Silicon Valley tech.
So really, slide 24, that concludes my presentation. I hope you found this useful. I hope you found it a useful update. We’re all terribly excited here, working damn hard to make this a reality. I’ve always told my team that until we get a car sold to customers, we haven’t achieved a damn thing. And I still stand by that. I’m really bullish though that we’ve got some amazing technology that’s really real.
And I really hope to be able to share that with you in the very near future. We’ll soon be able to have cars which we can allow non-Lucid personnel to actually drive and experience. Up ‘til now, that’s not been possible, because of the development stage of the car. But that’s going to come in the near future; and it will be a real honor for me to allow, metaphorically, hand the keys to others to experience this wonderful thing. Thank you so much for your time, enjoy the presentation. Thank you.
Fitz Middleton: Peter, thank you very much. It’s fascinating work you guys are up to. And again, on behalf of BofA and for myself, thank you and your team for the time today and for joining us at the Auto Summit. Hopefully we’ll be able to do it in person one day sooner, rather than later. We appreciate it.
Peter Rawlinson: Thank you so much Fitz. Thanks for the opportunity. I really appreciate it. Thanks.
