To be fair though, I really like Lucid. They are solid and I think they will be successful, unlike Faraday Futures, they have a nice car but they are a big mess.
Tesla's announcement in September will mostly just be about batteries. They are supposed to be coming out with their own battery that should be pretty awesome. I wouldn't expect them to put those batteries in their cheap cars any time soon. They will probably go to their Flagship models first. So where to put your money just depends on how much money you want to spend.
