Lucid’s newly appointed CEO, Silvio Napoli, says the electric-vehicle maker released cars before they were fully ready and that this decision let customers down. In comments reported by multiple outlets, Napoli describes earlier execution at the company as rushed, implying shortcomings in product readiness and customer experience. Lucid also indicates it will adjust its timelines for upcoming products in response. The company says it plans to hold back its forthcoming mass-market SUV to allow for additional testing rather than proceeding immediately to market. The statements come as Lucid signals a shift toward more thorough validation for vehicles on the way, while the company’s past launch approach is being reassessed publicly by its leadership. Together, the coverage reflects both criticism of earlier decision-making and an operational change aimed at improving quality and performance before wider rollout.
