I agree but what I meant was I think they should make the more affordable $45k trim and $65k trim both available day one. Not waiting to release the highest demand trim by a year or two. I'd imagine the differences between trims would be limited to battery size and software? They're only...
Lucid needs to prioritize the sub $50k variant early in the release. Launching a mid $60s GT trim then waiting a year to put out the "Touring" or "Pure" version like we saw with Gravity won't get them the volume they need to sustain operations. Get the $45k model out the door with stable...
Not to mention the company is losing key engineers left and right. I see farewell Lucid posts from former employees on LinkedIn far more than joining the company as of late.
6 months ago I saw maybe one Gravity a month around Phoenix. Lately, I've been seeing at least one every single day. Haven't seen a bronze Gravity yet.
I think the main issue was that executive pay was tied to reaching certain milestones. Peter got a massive stock award for launching the air, the exec team got a bonus for launching gravity by the end of '24 and I'm sure there were production milestone awards as well. Now, most of the executive...
I think it’s a great option to throw in the mix of Gravity trims. Although, I was hoping for the Sapphire blue exterior paint. Hopefully Lucid will release a true sapphire version after Cosmos is out to the masses.
While it's most likely the Gravity Sapphire, Lucid only has a few weeks left of summer to unveil the Cosmos as mentioned numerous times this year. If they rolled out both Gravity and Cosmos Sapphire at the same time, the media would have a field day and it'd be good press for Lucid.
Silvio mentioned in a recent interview that “Lucids next capital raise will be very good news for investors and shareholders…” I’m guessing that means limiting dilution or perhaps a new large investor taking a share in the company?
I'm curious if the "sportier" Gravity will have a modified body shape mainly at the rear end. Less mini-van and more true sport SUV look. Sacrifice some storage for less weight and speed.
All eyes on the earnings call tomorrow. I’m concerned the release dates are going to get pushed back with the new management coming in but hopeful it’s still on track.
