Yeah, I don't know why this is a story. Were I Lucid, this is precisely the approach I would take. Call to try and solve the customer's issue and hopefully win them back, but if they say no, or don't want it, or tell you to f off, or literally anything else, let it go and cancel it. If it turns out all they needed was reassurance that they can get snow tires but didn't know they could, or whatever, then you just saved a sale.
I would agree. I canceled mine by phone with no issues. The guy asked why I wanted to cancel as me SA was on holiday. I told him my concerns that I think this is the Fisker Karma all over again, I want certain features in any car I buy, and I really like the car hope you survive.
Lucid is nowhere near bankruptcy, and a lot of people misunderstand that. Elon’s tweet isn’t helping, but he is not exactly a “disinterested” party
The amount of false narratives driven by Musk’s small opinionated and controversial Tweets is cringe worthy. We easily have a 3-4 year roadmap financially to see which direction Lucid takes as a company. They’ve already proven they can pivot. Frankly, my concern with their longevity is what will they do to solidify themselves in the market beyond cars. Tesla, Ford, Rivian all have side business beyond consumer vehicles that fund them. Lucid doesn’t have that yet.Lucid is nowhere near bankruptcy, and a lot of people misunderstand that. Elon’s tweet isn’t helping, but he is not exactly a “disinterested” party
We are fortunately finally reaching a point where people are starting to question whether Musk actually knows what he’s talking about. Or whether his intentions are to be trusted. Only took a few decades for people to catch on.

By all accounts here nobody has experienced what this article alleges. Not that it matters, it’s a good business practice, only spun as a negative by Alexa St John because that’s what these writers do. Unfortunately Road & Track magazine has joined in on the negativity pile-on, and wouldn’t you know it, their source is Barron’s writer Bill Alpert. I know it’s hard for businesses to sue journalists but I hope Lucid’s legal department has some bulldogs that go after these libelous writers.
I don't think it's excessive to try to contact the person who is canceling to see if you can win them back. Perhaps it's a misunderstanding, or there is something that can be adjusted, etc. If there isn't, of course that's fine, and the person can literally pick up and say 'just cancel' and that's all it takes.
Interesting that he doesn't call out others who are in potentially way worse shape than Lucid. Fisker 2.0 is more likely to go bankrupt than Lucid. They're just going into production and in Q2 stated they have $850 million in cash which is just enough to see them through year end...... good luck with that!
His millisecond long attention span has already drifted away from Lucid and he now says his pronouns are “Prosecute/Fauci”. It’s almost like he was trying to find a way to get me to delete my Twitter account. It worked! Well done sir! While I’m thankful he helped bring EVs and Space X to fruition, I hope he now pulls a Kanye and erases his own influence and credibility for the sake of humanity.
Honestly, I do think it would be worth having a Musk BS megathread in here. I'm fairly certain the majority of us have some pretty unkind things to note about the current situation of things. Frankly, I can't believe he's in complete denial (although shock) of being boo'ed off of a stage and tries to rationalize that in the worst ways possible.
Yeah I 100% promise I don’t want to make things political although sometimes I suck at not doing that. It’s just that he’s taking the “I’m the Anti-CEO” thing beyond all reasonableness and has descended into unprofessionalism. I don’t really think there’s an argument to be made in favor of giving racists anti-science people and violent agitators an equal public voice.
Wait, when did this happen? That sounds great. Is it on video?
