    Switched My Order Today from a Pure to a Grand Touring

    I suspect your A8 and CTS had features that fell short (as do all vehicles). So, selective highlights are to be expected. At this point in the game, the highlights, lowlights, mediocre-lights, etc. are well known. The criterion for me is the total owner experience, regardless of acquisition...

    Switched My Order Today from a Pure to a Grand Touring

    Lucid and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology reported a strategic partnership.

    Lucid and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology reported a strategic partnership.

    Wildly speculative? I made no declarative statement, just posed a question. Our forum is replete with questions to which most of us have no confirmatory answers. Yet, we ask them for insight, perspective, or context. What is Wall Street reacting to this morning? Is that not an appropriate...
