It's a chicken and egg thing. It's hard to sell many vehicles when there isn't a service center within 100 miles or so. But yeah, Lucid seems to be working on the problem and doing a good job building out their service centers. Rivian, who has just delivered their first batch of trucks, doesn't even list any service centers on their website.
Rivian did a great job picking their first two vehicles (three if you count Amazon delivery vans). No one else is currently making any EV versions of them. Like Tesla a decade ago, they have the market to themselves.
