Based on the available information, there is no credible evidence suggesting Tesla will acquire Lucid Motors. In fact, the search results indicate the opposite is more likely true.
## Tesla’s Stance on Acquiring Lucid
According to reports from December 2022, Tesla was not expected to buy Lucid Motors[1]. Elon Musk had made comments suggesting that Lucid Motors might not survive long term, tweeting that “They are not long for this world,” implying the company might face financial difficulties[2].
Instead of Tesla acquiring Lucid, industry analysts suggested that if Lucid were to be acquired, it would more likely be by a non-US company[1]. The reasoning behind this assessment wasn’t fully elaborated in the search results.
## Recent Developments (2025)
More recent information from April 2025 shows a different competitive dynamic between the two companies:
1. Lucid’s CEO Mark Winteroff claimed that 50% of their current orders are coming from former Tesla owners, suggesting they are gaining customers at Tesla’s expense[4].
2. Lucid stock reportedly surged in April 2025 due to reports that the company is “gaining traction from Tesla”[3].
3. Some Lucid owners have been actively encouraging others to “drop your Tesla, buy a Lucid,” highlighting the competitive rather than cooperative relationship between the companies[3].
However, it’s worth noting there are conflicting reports about Lucid’s financial health. While their CEO claims increasing orders, particularly from former Tesla owners, other sources question whether Lucid is truly succeeding financially, pointing to their stock price dropping significantly from previous highs[4].
Given this competitive relationship and Tesla’s previous stance, there’s no indication that Tesla has plans to acquire Lucid Motors in the foreseeable future.
