I hope the day will come. But it is not tomorrow, or this yIear. My opinion is, Lucid is in a big hole. It will take a while for Lucid to dig its wa y out. Business-as-usual isn't going to work.

Yeah, Silvio is not a bonds and futures trader who doesn't understand engineering, finance, sales and customer service. I have never met Emad in person, though I watched many of his videos with Rawlinson. He is a passionate geek! I like him! That said, I'd suggest we stop mourning Emad's...

My point is: > I see Emad's departure as Silvio asserting his control as CEO. You may/may-not agree with how Emad was treated. But the CEO is asserting himself. > If I remember Silvio's resume, he is no tech dummy. Does he have a science/engineering degree? I am NOT saying Silvio is doing...

GE invented the first electric clothes washer. But I think they are mostly out of the consumer business. GE Aerospace, GE Healthcare, and GE Vernova were all spin-offs of the original GE company.

Yeah, GE didn't invent the jet engine. GE Aerospace is the #1 supplier of Jet Engines! And Henry Ford learned his trade under Thomas Edison. If you love history, go research Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison. They were contemporaries with each other. Many people believe Nikola Tesla is a much...

I am not debating that. But let us not forget, GE (Edison) invented (actually perfected) the light bulb. Other GE breakthroughs include CT scan, Gs Turbines, Silicone, Super conducting magnets, magnetron, MRI, laser diodes, etc.... And YES, they have had mis-steps along the way.

Well, I wouldn't knock GE stock. It has done reasonable well in the past few years.

LCID closed at $5.17, a 10% rally!!!!! 🤩

Don't disagree with you about your take on "no further need for Emad's new motors". But that posture ("theirs", not yours") basically says the CEO/Executive Team don't look to Emad as the SVP of Powertrain and Digital. Going forward, perhaps there is less need for major de novo motors as in...

Time to start a US-based Lucid after-market service. Buy up a bunch older Airs/Gravity for parts. Make a killing out of the forum devotes! ;)

Customer = PIF

;)

I'll give you that. My personal opinion is, the Uber deal is mostly PR/image. Has little revenue value to Lucid. Yes, Uber bought some shares of LCID. No need to debate it, just my opinion.

Yeah, I agree with you. I don't know Emad like you do. I always see him as a competent and passionate hardware/power train guy. I am NOT saying he is ignorant about SW. And, as you know, SW was a real mess at Lucid for a long time. Nevertheless, when Emad became SVP in charge, he is on the...

Rivian is a cult!

Clearly, the ORIGIN of the SW mess Emad had no part in that. But when he assumed the SVP job of engineering and digital, didn't he own that problem? I am, in no way, blaming Emad for the SW mess at Lucid. To the contrary, if the recent UX3 release for the Gravity happened under his tutorship...

To me, Winteroff's tenure was interim CEO major accomplishments were hiring Timothée Chalamet as spokesman and throwing fancy parties in NYC. Not obvious what he has done to address Lucid's business and technical problems which got significantly worse in this time frame. My understanding was...

Winteroff was the interim COO. Obviously he was/is accountable. That said, are you telling me that Emad was only minding his business in powertrain the past 5Q? It certainly didn't come across that way.

I don't mean he is "academic". He is clearly a guru on motors, drive trains. What was not apparent to me is whether his working knowledge of technical and business beyond the power train was broad enough or he acted fast enough to change Lucid's errand trajectory (e.g., SW, service, costs...

and Kirk said that as the Enterprise sailed into the unkonwn! ;)
