Here’s my big question:
How, exactly do you entice a skilled and motivated workforce for a relatively large startup factory like this one?
How to incentivize while at the same time running a (financially) balanced factory?
What I have observed in highly automated manufacturing over the last 10 years is that it is increasingly difficult to attract and retain people that are even remotely capable of doing these jobs. So what’s Lucid’s model? Are they employing significantly over-qualified workers? Are they hiring valedictorian aerospace engineers to do the manufacturing jobs - and paying according to background and training level?
If that’s the case - does the business model support this as a long-term op’s strategy?
I hear these stories, and think it’s really cool - but just don’t understand how they can establish standards that are so different from (adjacent?) industry norms.

Impressive, nonetheless!
