This would never actually happen, but I think Lucid acquiring Fisker is a great idea.
Lucid has plentiful funds, an under-utilized US manufacturing facility (important for the tax credits), a more capable team for software and finance, and more infrastructure built out to facilitate deliveries. The one thing they desperately lack is a vehicle that can sell more than a few thousand units per year—it’s going to be years before they can bring one to market otherwise. Acquiring Fisker would, at least in theory, make up for the shortfalls of both companies.
