Polestar had a similar-ish offer that expired in July.
Lucid is in the luxury EV car segment in terms of being unobtainable for the majority of consumers. $750 a month for 36 months? (I didn’t check the initial funds due at signing.)

On a side-note, the current problem with leasing, is the APR rates have distended to the point where it’s just not desirable, amongst inflated APR on mortgages, homeowners insurance rising, auto insurance rising, etc.

But we don’t want the future F150 Lightening being sold back to us by rhe new Chinese owners
Like the Chinese MG is being sold back to the Europeans
So sad
Don’t let this happen to USA

If they implode due to their own poor decisions from UAW and OEM mgmt, so be it.
Let the Teslas, Rivians of the US take their place.
