There's been a lot of talk lately about Lucid and claims of bankruptcy, restructuring efforts, consultant, stock dilution, etc etc.

I say this is all a smokescreen to distract the market from Lucids complete and total failure to address its biggest threat:

The Fiat Topolino.

While Lucid wastes its time with 17th century technology like metal doors, the Fiat Topolino has blazed its way into the future by using eco-friendly rope doors.
While Lucid wastes its time and money creating archaic glass and metal roofs, Fiat outdoes them completely by using modern-day flaps and snaps.
Sure, Lucid claims its 800v "architecture" and 500 mile "range" is class leading, the Fiat Topolino can fill its entire 45 mile battery in only 5 hours.
Fiat solved all entry and exit issues by simplifying the process with a superior hook and loop on a rope, which can double as suspenders for impromptu beach galas.

Now lets talk interior. Lucid needs a 34" 8k screen to display its information, where the Fiat Topolino gets it all done with a simple LCD from an old Segway. Lucid also confuses the consumer by using mixed media, various interior fabrics and colorways. The superior Fiat Topolino needs only one superior material: black plastic. This can be used in everything from a porta-potty to the turn signal. Its a brilliant use of modern day materials, and design-focused consumers will enjoy its familiar look and feel.

The Gravity might have class leading "packaging", but the Fiat Topolino can literally fit inside a package. Checkmate, Lucid.

Lasty, performance. Lucid boasts models featuring over 1000hp, yet all of thier cars have inferior 4 doors where the Fiat only needs 2 ropes.
The Lucid Saphire may be the fastest car on earth, but it cannot even strap a suitcase to its rear window.

They're jealous of Slate and want to get in on the act...
 
"Industry-leading 46 miles of range at a top speed of 25 mph". It also protects us from our own excesses.
No safety features means a light weight auto just ready to toss through the turns on your favorite back country road.
Fits in the frunk of a gravity in place of a spare tire.
 
You should consider finding a Citroën Mehari it was already pretty much what you like in the Fiat but was already available in the 70'

I need to drive 700km in a single stretch and arrive without being tired, so I will stay with my Lucid, and if it does use some tried and true tech, that's ok. By the way I believe the body is aluminum, so still better than most of the other luxury brands out there.
 
I'm hoping for Fiat to buy Lucid after the PIF gives up, and merge Lucid's engineering strengths with Fiat's design strengths: the Topolino Sapphire: 1200 HP, rear wheel steering, but still rope doors! 🤣

Are pre-orders open? I'm in!
