Stock is up MASSIVELY! I'd love to hop in a Lucid Uber... hopefully coming to NYC?

I mean....In any way does it "cheapen" the brand to hail a Lucid with your Uber app?
The Waymo Jaguars are pretty nice. Not nearly as nice as a Gravity but still.It will be part of executive stuff, think corporate accounts for luxury Airport limos like Uber XXL or black. So not as much of a commodity. I mean noone wants to spend any large amount of time in the tin-sh*t can 2 seater that is a cybercab.

E class Mercedes Benz cars are used for taxis in EuropeWith the stock now up 42% any thoughts from the group on what this means for the brand? In any way does it "cheapen" the brand to hail a Lucid with your Uber app?
I do see this strengthening sales down the road as this rolls out, which is vital....but how might it change perception? "High tech partnership" = Positive or "Lucid = rideshare to the airport" = negative.
“Lucid said the 450-mile range for its Gravity vehicles should help cut costs and charge times while improving accessibility. Winterhoff said the program may eventually include future Lucid vehicles currently in development.”I was a bit surprised to hear it would be Gravities. Seems like a good use for the upcoming midsize, but perhaps that is in the future as well.
Yeah, and I surmise if you speculated the same way about this little known company you’d be as wrong as you are about LUCID rn.the year 2021 was the time to speculate on LCID. It's over folks.

...and you switch to a Guest profile if you wanna listen to some music during your rideGreat news! Assuming you can open the door when your Gravity robotaxi arrives!![]()
I'm sure we will get more details on how this will all work whcih I am curious about as well.Interesting they are deploying a different sensor suite. I wonder if Lucid will gain any knowledge from NURO during the partnership with Uber.
IE: Lucid gets access to NURO sensor data, while simultaneously using their own sensors to collect data in parallel.
I think some of the tech will help, or at least industry experience, but with Lucid still hiring tons of ADAS software/hardware/etc. people, I doubt that it is completely going to give up on its in-house design, which has actually been really coming along recently. This partnership will most likely be compartmentalized from the consumer facing ADAS.Stock price aside, I think one can safely assume fun this announcement that Nuro, and specifically Nuro Driver, will be the backbone technology for Lucid in regards to autonomous driving capabilities going forward.
And to clarify, I don't think that's the direction this is going- the gravity is probably too expensive of a vehicle to ever reach the level required to be produced and out into service to be perceived that way.Tbh have some reservations about owning cars perceived to be "taxi" vehicles.
I think it would be used more like how Escalades are used. To be safe just don't get a black one, because that will probably be the color Uber picks.And to clarify, I don't think that's the direction this is going- the gravity is probably too expensive of a vehicle to ever reach the level required to be produced and out into service to be perceived that way.
