It's interesting the news come out Saturday after the market has (obviously) closed.
GM Cruise and Bolt updates are tracked here. I guess we will now add the Chevy Blazer to the list.

Lucid Interview
I would like to actually hear the audio. The CEO seems incredibly defensive.
"The vision of the company is to really drive down the cost of electric cars because it's very important for the planet," he said. "We just have to start with high-end products because the economics are such you just can't do it any other way."
Details of what to expect from the next Lucid intro remain under wraps, but Rawlinson did suggest that it would appear much earlier than has previously been reported
“I’ve formally stated mid-late-decade, and that has been completely misquoted as the end of the decade – 2030. What I mean is ‘not 2025’. It’s a few years away, but it’s close. It takes 3 1/2 years to do a car, and we’ve started … and that wasn’t yesterday.”
From Inside EVs, December 18, 2023, the Lucid is being compared to the Jaguar I-Pace and the Porsche Taycan.
Lucid CEO says his goal is to turn the Lucid into a family car that is affordable for the middle class. So, he will start with a luxury car that is in the same league as the Jaguar and the Porsche. And to do that, Lucid has opened a manufacturing plant in Saudi Arabia, home of the affordable EV for Americans.
I can't make this stuff up.
By the way, that Jaguar I-Pace: one hour of charging for every two hours driving. Read the story at the link.
