"Lucid Motors Puts Stoppage On Delivering Lucid Air EV"​

I promise you. That was the farthest thing from my mind. I never imagined this at all. And I still can’t believe a few month old blog would have any impact on the value of a public company. I Reported it to cover customers delivery expectations.

In my post (which was quoted by Lucid insider) I clearly said the DA DID NOT give me any details or confirm hardware vs. software, then concluded with "speculation is what we do well here..." and then went on to speculate my own opinion that the stock would go down. Really, not a big leap given the already slow numbers being delivered in advance of the earnings call. Cue the Eddie Murphy line from Trading Places:

Hey, we’re losing all our damn money, and Christmas is around the corner, and I ain’t gonna have no money to buy my son the G.I. Joe with the kung-fu grip! And my wife ain’t gonna f… my wife ain’t gonna make love to me if I got no money!

Hey, fact is fact. If it happened and people might need to know it, Lucid should not hide from it. They created this mess by remaining quiet and not controlling the narrative. They are the ones allowing the public narrative to be controlled by a forum.

I felt somewhat guilty about posting my experience and the photos, but then I reminded myself that none of that was false. It happened and owners might want to know what it is if they find themselves in a similar situation. Per Lucid, mine was a simple failed metal clamp/ziptie, not something systemic and it may even be something they now check with each visit or add another beside the original as a safety.

There is actually an old saying if I remember it right, "Buy on rumours, sell on news".

This was quite factual. Lucid set themselves up for such occurances.

Totally true.

Old school diagnosis, thank you, thank you very much....

Could be something as simple as an improperly fastened hose clamp, hopefully after this it will all be a great ownership experience.

Glass half full, that's what I'm talking about!!

Yea, those of us who have worked on a few older cars can appreciate a "failed metal clamp" or the value of duct tape. My first car (1971 Mustang) used to break down about once every 3-6 months. The starter, in particular, needed to be replaced at least three times. My mother's solution every time I had the car break down was to bring a hammer, no other tools, just a hammer. Funny thing was that one day while talking with another friend who had a car of this era, he told me to "hit the starter with a hammer if you think it might be the starter". Well, looks like my mother was smarter than I gave her credit for because it can actually work to get the starter unstuck and into a better position.

In this case, the clamp/ziptie was used not to keep a hose end from leaking, but rather to keep the hose secure and in place. So, they ordered a new part, it should get there today or Friday and they will make repairs, align the charging door (only item noted from delivery), secure a couple trim pieces that seemed a bit loose (not really a big deal) and remove a small paint imperfection (either a tiny dot of glue or something in the paint)

And the market just opened and it seems the stock price is doing just fine, thankfully.

Really good news!

If only ONE Blogger could do THAT. I would be the worlds biggest Blogger.

He did become famous though when BENZINGA quoted him and linked their news to his Blog. He is Big league now and pressure is on him to only post legit stuff.

The stock along with the market was bound to drop. A chartist has it falling to at least 17.24.

There is no momentum left only bad news for now. Very sad I was hoping this would be my Tesla that I missed 10 years ago

Ha. Love the hammer story. When I used to borrow my siblings cars as a teenager, I would carry duct tape and anitfreeze with me, because without fail, I'd end up blowing a hose on one of their cars every few months. Tape over the hole, refill the antifreeze, and I'd at least make it back to our mechanic's place to replace without towing.

So glad it turned out not to be a full motor replacement for you.

How are you enjoying the e-tron?

But your post and pics resulted in comments like another motor failure Lucid needs to get to the bottom on this to failure of the batteries which could have caused a fire and now a hold on deliveries.

I do not think the intention was anything but to assist us Lucid buyers with info. But wait, maybe a blog about Amazon or Apple...I can use my $$ to buy more stock when it dives instead of my LucidGT

No one really knows the true reason for stopping deliveries and Lucid will never tell if they follow past history. In another thread the OP said a DA told him it might be due to all the Pirelli tires with bulges and blow outs. No one knows at this point….

I agree that your posts were just fine and informative but too many folks on this board are jumping to conclusions way too fast

Congratulations, I guess?

Why stop all deliveries if it is just the Pirelli 21 inch tires? If it was that, you would think they would continuing shipping those vehicles with the 19 inch tires just to make space for the cars coming out of production.
