Service seems to be the #1 issue for Lucid now. My sense is that they are taking the problems seriously, and the situation is likely to improve, at least in the USA. I have little insight into the situation in Europe. It's probably economically challenging to have enough service locations and...

Dude! It's going to take weeks for you to update with that setup! You need a router with at least 5 antennae, and 6 would be better! 🤣

Somehow, the experiences of one's youth always feel like they were just yesterday. My first car that was really mine had 165HR13 tires (1980 Mazda 626). I drove the shit out of that thing, and had a grand time. The Gravity 20/21 setup feels enormous to me, and the 22/23 setup looks like...

Dude! The obvious choice is a Cosmos Sapphire! :p

Ship it to China, get it repaired, ship it back, takes about the same amount of time as one of Lucid's overloaded service centers. kidding-not-kidding

I don't mind the aesthetics of how it looks. To me, the only problem is that it does seem likely to have rotten rear visibility. But when it comes to driver visibility, I probably care about the sight-lines around the A pillar improving from Air and Gravity more than I care about rear...

Much though people like Musk bad-mouth short sellers, they do provide a useful contrary view on companies that is a useful part of the market setting a fair price for a company. Musk hates them because his companies are so dependent on hype, and at some level he fears what will happen if his...

Quite a few of them are labeled "available in 2 weeks", which implies there's a reserve of vehicles at the factory, and perhaps not all of them are visible in the inventory system. They may well be on the verge of having sold all the 2026's, but I also wouldn't be shocked to discover that...

I don't think they really are. They're just focused on pushing the 2026 models out the door, and the 2027 lease prices are likely to be more attractive when they shift focus to selling those. Possibly as soon as this weekend, since I see the number of 2026 in the inventory page is down quite a...

I'm in the same boat: I've never leased a vehicle before, always purchased, but I plan to lease the Gravity. I view the finance cost as an insurance premium against residual value risk and Lucid corporate health risk.

The estimated lease payments between the 2026 and 2027 Gravity have been pretty starkly different. The 2027 has bumped up against $2k/month, and the 2026 had been hundreds less. Right now I see a '27 GGT with a price of $116800, estimated lease $1769/month, while a '26 GGT priced at $116250 has...

I'm in the camp that believes the Saudis will continue to fund Lucid as long as there's a reasonable chance of them manufacturing vehicles in Saudi Arabia.

Yeah, after being scared off buying with all the reports of gremlin infested vehicles last December, I'm now feeling comfortable enough with the tone of the Gravity conversation to move forward and buy one. I have a busy summer of traveling, so I plan to see what lease terms look like in September.

I actually think the PIF is more transparent than a typical institutional investor. A normal institutional investor will just be marking hard nosed decisions about the potential return on a stock they own, and they'll cut it (or increase their investment) without any warning to outsiders...

Did @marqie say that in a public message I missed? I thought the question had been asked, but I cannot find an answer posted.

ChatGPT, please review all source code publicly available on github and craft a detailed prompt asking Claude to add 2027 as a model year option to the lucid tracker that is optimized for minimum token usage.

Releasing Cosmos is the only way to really address that. There's no chance they're going to sell enough Airs and Gravities to run cash flow positive, much less profitable.

It's a major problem is a self-driving systems requires connectivity to function. For the simple reason that we expect a higher level of reliability from autonomous driving than is delivered by any currently existing wireless data network. I can easily believe that a car manufacturer decided...

I don't think that's correct. I haven't heard reports of Lucid charging for mobile tech travel time. It's safe to say that if getting prompt service is a key requirement for you, then you shouldn't buy a Lucid right now. But it's not correct that you need to have a second car, as Lucid has...

If you search here, you can probably find posts from a member who converted their Gravity to a square setup. I don't recall which size they chose. Actually, I think they picked the same wheel diameter for all four corners, but are running wider rubber in the back.
