Lucid Motors said its 'operational reset' will focus on $1.4 billion in cash reductions along with three other 'must-win' and potential money-making priorities. The company will reduce capital expenditures by $500 million and projected savings of between $600 million and $800 million in inventory. Lucid will also reduce operating expenses by $200 million. The effort, if successful, will provide sufficient liquidity runway well into 2027, according to CEO Silvio Napoli.
