Thanks. The wait should be shorter than for the DE.

 

[Overcharged]

Congratulations, easy car to spec

Hey Bill! I dont want you to be too lonely, I have joined you in the ClubSapphire!! LOL

Check out the Reservation Fee: $25,000. I don't think I'd want that amount sitting in Lucid's coffers for 11 months till delivery.

I wouldnt mind joining that club as well! My biggest hesitation is that after taking delivery of that car, I would hate it if Lucid then announces a Lucid Sapphire Plus like they did with the GT and GTP. I am not sitting on unlimited funds to be trading cars on a daily basis

Sweet. We need enough reservations to keep the team motivated.

Delivery ETA is "2023".. yikes.. not even a quarter is advertised when reserving

I heard they tested a four motor and it was a tire melting machine.

I bet.. ~450hp per tire seems impossible for regular road tires

Based on current hindsight I agree.

I’m sure there is someone who is putting down a deposit who will sell you their Sapphire at delivery for $350k.
I’m hoping to take delivery at the factory and road trip it immediately. I will have a DE available for purchase.

Well, the Rimac Nevera goes at 1900 HP with four motors and weighs 4750 lbs. Lucid will have to have special tires to go with it. Apparently, Pirelli is developing special tires for the Rimac. Maybe they can do the same for Lucid Sapphire too. Blowouts here we come! LOL!

The Nevera generates a lot of downforce. With Plaid or Sapphire the front is light. How much tire are you going to put on the car just for acceleration? Still have to have that range number.

Hm only 2 years of EA charging for Sapphire reservation holders

They went 'yellow' on the EA charging ... Not enough blue left over.

I live close to the factory can I meet up with you to see this beast in person?
