Lucid is trying to prove it can be more than a luxury EV maker.

At its investor day, the company laid out a plan to scale into the high-volume mid-size market, partner, more details on the partnership with Uber on RoboTaxi, and most importantly, shorten the path to positive free cash flow.

Joining us now is Lucid's CFO, Tufik Bousaid.

And welcome to the program, Tufik.
