No bear decals? Or will they be applied later?

I saw a black one at Natick last week, and I think the latest drone footage showed several of them parked outside the factory.

It's supposedly still there today, so I don't know that it is destined for Burlington. Didn't notice the bears, but aren't they applied at the studio? This was seemingly fresh off the transporter---still had white grease pencil notations on the rear quarter panel indicating that it is a 3-row.

I saw the same paint/interior combination at the Natick Studio---I think it must be a customer delivery rather than one of their showroom/demo vehicles---and agree with you that it looks fantastic.

If you keep on having to explain that you're joking....

“Why would you choose a different color from what I would choose?”

I think someone posted that the display model is Aurora Green with the Yosemite interior. Is that correct? What about the one for test drives?

Also previously acknowledged by Emad Dlala at 1:13:48 of Out of Spec's marathon HQ visit video: "You're dealing with certain components that we never sourced, and the size. And in this short timeframe, we were able---the team brilliantly, really imaginatively found a way how to still put it in...

No, the simplest explanation is that they want to upsell buyers to the Dream Edition. (To be clear, I have no objection to that tactic.)

Has there actually been any acknowledgment of an HUD supply-chain issue by Lucid? The only supply-chain issue I heard them mention (on the Out of Spec visit to HQ video) was the components to make the rear motor boost the voltage when charging at a Tesla supercharger. I had assumed that was...

In his video posted to YouTube on April 7th, Tom Moloughney said "the official media event" would be "next week."

And, at around 1:13:45, he specifically notes that, to implement this new design, "you're dealing with certain components that we never sourced." This could explain why they were able to do a limited production run by late December, but nothing further for a few months.

I think you're right. And the tactic makes sense for Lucid: given that (1) they "are expecting to be capacity constrained in the first couple of quarters" and (2) "a significant portion of the [existing Gravity] orders have a configured price of above $120k," why not add an even-higher-margin...

Interesting. On a similar note, I had been wondering—nothing more—whether it is possible that the underbody of the 5-seat version is shaped differently from the 7-seat version, again to improve range.

No questions. Love your work, and will watch all of your Gravity content!
