Asian family here as well and well aware of the image part. Since when did sliding doors become an image issue?

Most people who do not buy minivans and pick SUVs buy it because SUVs have better driving dynamic. Minivans are not known to be sporty. Infact I hear all the time from many people that then picked an SUV 5 or 7 seater because they wanted a sportier drive. That’s why SUVs sell Lot more than...

Sorry, respectfully disagree. Most people dislike minivans because of driving dynamics, not sliding doors. Sliding doors are a blessing and there is no dearth of people who would be willing to buy one.

It’s time for us to say goodbye for a little while as we have cancelled our reservation. It was not an easy decision for us, a lot of heart vs mind back and forth, but it was the right decision for our family at this stage. We have cancelled our Rivian reservation also. I am very thankful to...

I don't think that is correct. As long as someone had a binding agreement before Aug 15 2022, you can claim $7500 tax credit in your federal returns for 2022 either in initial filing or through modification of tax returns if you have already filed. I think this issue was discussed at length in...

Well more like 120K + taxes but yes, still a decent price.

It was just a matter of time. The market reality is sinking in and hopefully Lucid has reduced cost structure to afford this decrease. Everyone knows Supply chains are no longer in distress and hence it is a wise, albeit a bit late, move to adjust pricing.

Catching a falling knife is tough and risky. You can decide whether you want to hold or not but there are many opportunities available to gain in this market. The company shall survive and do well anyways as the product is good.

Fully agree. Lucid is A superior build quality. It is more desirable outside and inside if we ignore the software issues that they are working through. This is a tremendous slight for Tesla. At some point, they will come back to claim the crown - whether new S or Plaid + or both. Hence Lucid...

With this $3B, they should be good at least till end of Q4 2025. Ample time to get traction with Gravity as well as Air. Lucid just needs to double down on software. All issues highlighted in myriad threads including @Bobby ’s list, when addressed, will make it a pretty desirable EV. At some...

Great news indeed. It will take a lot of uncertainty out and facilitate increase in sales.

You are right @Bobby. 21” is a bit of challenge but hopefully over next few months, Lucid should be able to certify more options.

Bridgestone Turanza is actually a very good tire. I have those on my Model S and ride is quieter and smoother than original tires. It will be great if that tire becomes an option for Lucid. On Costco tire website, Bridgestone summer tires show up as an option but not Turanza. Has anyone looked...

I think what I was somewhat concerned about was if the summer tires will suffer from glassification and hence might rip more frequently given low temps. Wasn't sure if they are not recommended at all given New England winters are more severe than NJ.

Just curious why you would want to switch to 20”. Being in NJ, isn’t 20”, a summer tire, a no go in winters?
