While I think the bear is an interesting logo, I don't really get it and I don't think it's aligned with the brand. - Hmm, Lucid you say? What does a bear have to do with Lucid? - It's an homage to California. - Oh, I get it. So it's a California company? - No, they're based in Arizona. -...

One of the things that people underappreciate about new product development (including many new product developers!) is how long it takes to move something from the drawing board to manufacturing readiness. You can have a prototype and even finalized drawings, but it takes months and months to...

FWIW I am not offended and I am happy to converse and be challenged on things. That said, I do work in manufacturing and I have a global supply chain that includes China. And I have been a Lean practitioner for some time, and I am fortunate to have learned some of it from the very best. I do...

BTW to Osyris, I do apologize. I hate that I am participating in internet crapping on your new car. I am jealous. I hope we are not taking too much of the joy out of this for you. It's def not personal and I am grateful for you sharing.

Could be a perspective thing but honestly that doesn't even look like it's on there straight? (my lines, attempting to follow the beltline of the car, and the windows, then underlining the bear's feet.....)

I've been wondering the same about OOS etc. I swore Kyle was alluding to getting the vehicle for a lot of testing back when he posted the detailed interior walkthrough and charging videos, but it wasn't necessarily crystal clear.

This bear decal is looking more and more like a terrible idea.

He must mean large wheels. I don’t think any Orions have been delivered.

I’m well aware of Lean manufacturing and jit. I’d venture I’ve spent more time with Toyota Lean practitioners than most others on this site. But cars were supposed to be delivered in April. The major tariffs started in April. JIT isn’t just after time. It’s still got to be on time. A ton of...

This is completely apolitical - I don’t believe the tariff/trade war environment explains the supply shortage. Parts are not suddenly unavailable. They’re just more expensive. It strains credulity to think that a car company that really needs to show Wall Street and the world that they can...

It has definitely crossed my mind that they are having, ahem, supply chain issues with the mid-sized wheels as well. No word on delivery of any of those yet AFAIK.

so interesting how these are being allocated. i placed GT order on opening day and placed my DE order (I didn't convert it, I just placed a new order) on 3/11. Black, Tahoe, mid-size wheels. Still nothing to speak of on the delivery front. I'm trying to temper my disappointment at not...

I just filled out the form for my GDE order. Sorry for the delay - I had a GT order on day 1 that I asked in GT thread to have moved over but I think the request was overlooked (not that I'm upset about it - I can't imagine how hard it must be to keep track of all this stuff - I'm just...
