Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson, a former Tesla executive, said he expects the EV start-up will eventually be valued more like the industry leader.

, regularly compares Lucid to his former employer in terms of in-house technologies and overall development of electric vehicles. He and CFO Sherry House on Monday both said the company's recent runup in stock is proof Wall Street is already viewing Lucid more like Tesla than a traditional automaker.

"I think the sky's the limit in terms of valuation, but it's all about execution," Rawlinson told CNBC during an interview Monday night after Lucid reported itsas a public company. "It's all about execution, it's all about scaling volume. And that's my focus. And I think the share price lookup is a result."

Since the company went public through a SPAC deal in July, Lucid's stock price has soared by more than 80% through Monday's close. It remains below its 52-week high of nearly $65 a share in February when it was reported that Lucid was nearing a deal.
