I'm surprised it took this long for something to come out. I don't believe this was the issue for the delay at all (could be wrong) but probably wouldn't have hurt if Lucid simply said "Due to unforeseen circumstances the car is delayed until April" or something along those lines earlier in the year. Instead it took them a whole 4 months to actually give some information. Trolls be trolling so sometimes it's better to get ahead of the narrative than trying to correct course when something like this drops.
I saw that bogus click-bait article this morning. The title is very misleading and the article is BS and from a shady, unreliable "EV News" site that can't even spell "electric" correctly in the URL. The article title implies there is an "issue" with safety...then the article actually states that it merely hasn't been fully tested for 3rd row safety being the "issue"....BIG DIFFERENCE between an actual "issue" and "just hasn't been done yet".
We've also banned that source from this forum quite a while ago and @nicktwork confirmed it was nonsense on Twitter/X/whatever-its-called.
This has been debunked by Nick Twork
Denied, not debunked. He didn't say what the real issue is, let alone provide any evidence.
As mentioned on the last earnings call they said they're more supply constrained in the first 2 quarters so was probably more parts related than anything else.
I guess the production rate over the last three months makes sense if they're currently making some parts "by hand" (not sure what the right term is for parts made using non mass production methods)
When making material claims, you don’t need to provide evidence, as the risk of making false claims is very very high, especially as a small company.
