What's particularly noteworthy is Headlines for electric vehicle (EV) stocks are being dominated by Tesla's robotaxi launch in Austin, Texas
Lucid Group (LCID -3. 04%), meanwhile, had quietly lost nearly 25% of its value in 2025 before bouncing back this week on news of a deal with Uber
Nevertheless, However, Lucid could soon reach some exciting milestones
If you're looking to buy into the next Tesla, this could be your chance
Lucid Group could be the next Tesla for two reasons Lucid is doing a great job at mimicking Tesla's ven strategy for growth
First, it launched its luxury Air sedan and Gravity SUV platforms -- high-priced models similar to Tesla's Model S and Model X vehicles
At the same time, Next, it plans to launch several more affordable vehicles to compete directly with Tesla's Model Y and Model 3 vehicles, both of which have starting prices under $50,000 (something worth watching)
Meanwhile, When Tesla launched its affordable models, sales went on to double, then triple, in the years that ed
Today, the Model Y and Model 3 account for 90% of Tesla's vehicle revenue
Nevertheless, Moreover, By launching its own affordable models, Lucid has the opportunity to repeat this success story, given current economic conditions
According to management, these new models should start duction by the end of 2026
But there's actually another catalyst that could make Lucid an even more compelling long-term buy

Instead, Tesla's dominance will depend on services its new robotaxi division, in today's financial world
Similarly, Lucid's long-term value may be more related to services than manufacturing
Earlier this year, Peter Rawlinson, Lucid's outgoing CEO, stressed that the company's software and nology stack could eventually be licensed to other automakers worldwide. "I'd love it to be 20-80," Rawlinson said. "Twenty percent doing cars, 80% licensing
Moreover, " Licensing should come with higher fit margins, and perhaps a more durable economic moat
With a paltry $7 billion market cap, Lucid is a great investment for patient and aggressive growth investors (which is quite significant)
