What is the timeline on that?

And mechanically, what are the levers you can use to achieve positive free cash flow?

So we are so focused right now on the business model for RoboTaxi for all the different conduits of what is a web of partnerships, right?

You have announced Project Luna, purpose-built RoboTaxi to Cedar.

But what I want to understand is at volume, there's a financing risk and an execution risk from taking the vehicles off the production line and then a fleet operator taking them.

So who takes on that burden?

Whose balance sheet gets that done?

Taviq, we're having a finance conversation, which is, you know, it's appropriate.

You are the CFO.

I wonder, like, how interesting the mechanisms can get.

Like, you know, Uber has a financial interest in this, but they have a capital-like model.

So do you see maybe private equity or the banks coming in with some kind of special purpose vehicle, right?

They finance...

that block of volume production until some time where the fleet operator pays you and says, here, here's the money for all the cars that we're taking from you.

Because you're not going to operate the service, right?

You're not going to operate the fleet.

And then, you know, to what extent do you need some revenue guarantees from those other partners?

And that's the bit that our audience really wanted to understand.

Toufiq Bousaid, Lucid CFO, it's great to have you on Bloomberg Tech.

Thank you.
