Why It's Important: The video featuring the Lucid Air comes as shares of the electric vehicle company are down over 60% in the last year. Although Lucid hasn’t yet matched the presence of its vehicles in music videos like some other brands, featuring the Lucid Air in such videos could serve as a launchpad, drawing attention to its design and potentially attracting new customers. Tesla, on the other hand, isn't just seeing Cybertrucks used by musicians in music videos. The company is turning celebrities into customers, without discounts or endorsement deals. Loading...
