    I would definitely call just to touch base, ensure you haven't fallen through the cracks.

    Atieva (Lucid's Formula E division) selected as the Front Powertrain Supplier for Formula E

    Putting a regen braking unit on the front wheels of these cars makes a lot of sense but it is a pity they won't be AWD. https://motorsport.tech/formula-e/gen3-formula-es-big-step-into-unchartered-territory

    Just waiting in Charlotte

    When I confirmed my GT back in December I was told closer to two months than four. With the pace things are moving I will be happy to see it by May.

    Waiting for my red GT

    Santa Cruz. As with the wheels I kept changing my mind. No studio within driving range so I only had the website to go by.

    If delivery target is not met due to fit and finish issues

    Lucid's biggest roadblock has always been funding. I followed them since they were Atieva, showing off their tech by drag racing hot cars in an old van they outfitted with their own tech. Their goal back in the mid 2000s was to attract OEMs with their electric drive systems and battery packs...

    Problems, glitches, issues and observations etc

    Quoting forum gossip as news. That's new to me. Now I feel like posting some really absurd stuff just to see if they pick it up.

    If delivery target is not met due to fit and finish issues

    Reading up on the Laura Schwab case really chased me back from Rivian. While the acusations about her treatment and what that says about management were bad enough what really hit home was her claim that Rivian knows its products are underpriced. Being of a background in design and manufacturing...

    Lucid GT3

    I saw this and rather hop Lucid goes a little bit smaller with a sportscar. Peter Rawlinson, early in his career, designed a small sportscar intended to be sold as a kit car. I don't think it ever got into production but it did get him a job at Lotus (Chief Engineer of Advanced Engineering)...

    If delivery target is not met due to fit and finish issues

    I imagine they are trying to convert as many reservations as they can schedule for production to help with planning. There are certainly some number of refundable reservations that are just placeholders to keep options open. We saw that with Jon Rettinger who used his Lucid reservation when his...

    If delivery target is not met due to fit and finish issues

    Big sedans aren't popular. 2018 was the best year for the Model S, 29,950 units in the US. Lucid started with the Air because it gave them a chance to handle the volume while they sorted out how to build cars. The Luxury SUV segment is red hot. The Gravity, if it is worthy, will easily rack up...

    If delivery target is not met due to fit and finish issues

    I really doubt PIF will be selling. The previous drop happened the day before Churchill's shares became unrestricted. Nervous speculators talked themselves into a frenzy leading up to it. I made bank on that one. Same could happen again. Those guys being so predictable. They fully funded my GT...

    Problems, glitches, issues and observations etc

    New to this forum. Reading this thread today I am glad it will be at least a couple of months before they are ready to deliver my GT.

    If delivery target is not met due to fit and finish issues

    I would agree if I were still actively trading. I'm not. It is very stressful and the winds of change are blowing in financial markets. Finishing out AMP-1 will eat up the cash they have on hand today. Future cash will be more costly to raise meaning even further dilution of the 1.6 billion...

    If delivery target is not met due to fit and finish issues

    I would be very cautious about any hopes for a share price increase or especially for Rawlinson pumping it. I did incredibly well swing-trading CCIV/LCID since last January but that kind of thing is very high risk. Given Lucid's own sales projections for out years, today's share price is "highly...

    Waiting for my red GT

    Driving electric for over 5 years now, started with a used LEAF I bought to take apart and study. That car now a hand-me-down w/ well over 100k miles on it. I love to tinker on things electrical and mechanical, but no longer actually paid to do that. Love track days on 2 or 4 wheels, back road...
