This was one area where Tesla really had a transformative impact, right?
And that really changed how people perceive electric vehicles.
They have gotten a lot of attention.
Camila's got a lead foot.
Both these electric vehicle startups have hit a huge milestone.
He's a lawyer and a ski patroller, which kind of sums up Rivian's whole vibe.
But it's also a $70,000 luxury truck, so you're not exactly roughing it.
An electric vehicle doesn't need an engine, which freed up space for a frunk - that's front trunk - that doubles as a cooler.
If Tesla is a nice suit and Rivian is a pricey Patagonia jacket, Lucid would be a clothing brand so posh, I've never heard of it.
In the Tysons Corner mall at a new Lucid storefront across from a Michael Kors, people keep stopping to gawk at the car.
And they need to outcompete all the big automakers who are planning to make much cheaper electric vehicles. But investors seem to be betting that startups can innovate more easily than incumbents can change.
And you can really see the result. Just a few years ago, the U.S. and Europe were basically neck and neck in terms of what percentage of car sales were electric.
Electric vehicles shot up to make up a fifth of the market.
