    Lucid posts quarterly revenue beat as luxury EV sedan price cuts boost sales

    Not sure how you interpreted anything I said that way, but okay. Doesn’t really matter what any of us think anyway. The market is pretty efficient.

    Lucid posts quarterly revenue beat as luxury EV sedan price cuts boost sales

    Those of you who don’t like the metric act as if the buildings etc don’t cost real money that has to be accounted for. When your only revenue stream is from the sale of cars (aside from a little money from Aston), yet your expenses are from many different areas, the only way to get profitable...

    Lucid posts quarterly revenue beat as luxury EV sedan price cuts boost sales

    They’re losing $300k + per car sold - not sure how anyone thinks volume will solve this problem. It’s like the old SNL skit about the change makers - swapping dollars for dimes, etc, and thinking they are making money through volume. Lucid stock isn’t going anywhere if they are not able to...

    About to be a lucid leaser, a few questions please

    It’s been there since at least the end of the year - when I was considering a GT that was one of the factors for me.

    Vehicle to Home

    Joe used to run a garage called Joe’s Last Chance Garage where he worked primarily on Porsches. He has a very cool setup at his house and worked on several of my cars - one of the most honest and thorough guys I’ve ever met. He became a big Tesla fan and documented the construction of the...

    Edmunds does another Lucid review..

    They don’t even have the starting price right - off by $20k in the headline. That seems pretty basic….

    Looking for opinions on the 21" wheels

    Looks like a pretty good impact with something - maybe not a pothole but that rim hit something

    New owner needs guidance

    I remember way back in the day when 17” wheels were considered huge and the Lexus salesman talking me off of getting them because of the low profile and rougher ride - in a Lexus. 😜 Now 20” is considered small on a lot of cars. I do have 21s on my Cayenne and have never had any issues in over...

    Auto Insurance using regen breaking

    I use Progressive but no way I would give them access to that info. It’s already pretty reasonably priced anyway, and that data only benefits the insurance company.

    Nice Lucid Review on Electrek

    Could not agree more. As a long time Tesla shareholder I think they need a grown up at the helm. I want Lucid, Rivian, etc to absolutely succeed and take share away from Tesla, so they will be forced to get better at everything - materials, panel gaps, attitude, service. But I still...

    Nice Lucid Review on Electrek

    I have to say - on the Tesla forums I am on, there is little to no talk of Lucid most of the time, unless it is a comparison thread. Now, plenty of people on there complaining about their own Tesla for sure. It just seems almost every discussion here at some point has to criticize Tesla for...

    Nice Lucid Review on Electrek

    Man every thread devolves into somehow bashing on Tesla, even a thread started to highlight a good review of Lucid. It seems as though lots of people have an insecurity about Tesla and feel better about their decision by criticizing them. My Model S Plaid is fantastic and maybe the most fun...

    2023 Air GT April lease deal

    If this had been the deal in Feb when I was looking I would have absolutely gone with an AGT but the lease payments were like $1200 with a decent amount down. Can’t believe these terms!

    Can you tell the start / stop times of charging when you have it charging overnight

    Is it odd that all of your charging sessions end as soon as they started?
