    Lucid Motors to lease more than 1,300 acres in Casa Grande

    Lucid can't survive as a company with just the Air. Nor even combined with the Gravity. That is about 100k units per year. The smallest independent automakers sell about 1M units per year.* Lucid eventually will need a compact crossover with a starting price ~$52k. That vehicle can get to...

    Model S vs Audi vs Polestar Impressions

    An Audi Etron S has a very sold and sturdy build. And gets 208 miles of EPA range. So does an Audi RS e-tron GT. And gets 232 miles of EPA range. Because of its two speed transmission probably gets ~280 miles of range at a steady 65 mph. You can slam the aluminum hood of a Ford F-150...

    Lucid Air Is Not A Competitor To Any Tesla Car

    Lexus and BMWs are very different but it is just silly to suggest they are not direct competitors. Tesla can say their main competitor is Saudi Aramco and Lucid can say their main competitor is Mercedes S Class and or E Class. Won't stop direct comparison and cross shopping. Fact is there...

    Ford Is Ditching Dealerships For Future EV Sales

    Unlike Tesla, Ford has franchise dealership agreements in all 50 states. I think Ford will lose the legal battle with most state dealership organizations if not all of them. Many states prohibit automakers or executives from automakers from owning a 3rd party corporation to circumvent state...

    Mercedes EQS SUV

    That seems to be the case for the 580. The rear wheel drive 450+ seems to be selling at sticker. At least near me.

    BMW i7 Electric

    It is important to me nowadays to have front passenger grab handles. And easy ingress/egress. And a sunshade under panoramic glass when it is over 90 degrees in Summer is extremely nice. All of which the i7 has. I don't do cross country road trips. 99% of my driving is within 75 miles of my...

    The new Lotus electric SUV "Eletre"

    Lotus has confirmed the Eletre will be made in Wuhan, China. "Lifestyle" vehicles will be made in China i.e. crossovers and sedans. Sports cars will be made in England. It is my understanding that the US has a 25% tariff on Chinese made vehicles. Just as the Chinese have on American made...

    Mercedes EQS SUV

    My guess is 310 EPA range for 580 4Matic model starting price of ~$109k. 320 EPA range for 450 model starting price ~$89K. These are made in Alabama not imported from Germany like the EQS sedans. The Alabama made GLS and GLE are well priced relative to the comparable sedans imported from...

    P variant of Grand Touring with over 1,000hp?

    Range IS overkill. The real world difference is meaningless, minus weather conditions, minus useable battery, minus degradation over time.

    P variant of Grand Touring with over 1,000hp?

    Range over 446 miles is equally overkill. It comes down to which overkill you want? 516 miles of range or 1050hp.

    P variant of Grand Touring with over 1,000hp?

    Porsche Taycan. $82,700-$234k Off the online configurator you can even add more expensive options. Like $1M paint jobs.

    Lucid has over 25k Air reservations and is buying a ~$2M 30 second spot on the Oscars?

    I guess they can always wish for that. Don't know how efficient it is to pay $2M/30s spot in generating $140k orders.

    Lucid has over 25k Air reservations and is buying a ~$2M 30 second spot on the Oscars?

    Lucid has more than enough demand right now. And yes putting Airs in garages will generate more orders. Because they are fantastic cars. Friends/family of owners will see them and experience them. And want them. In order to grow they need more production. The bottleneck to growth is not...

    Lucid has over 25k Air reservations and is buying a ~$2M 30 second spot on the Oscars?

    I highly doubt a small fraction are converting to orders. There are angry reservation holders all over the EV forums not getting their car. So you think the plan is to push off making Pures indefinitely ?

    Lucid has over 25k Air reservations and is buying a ~$2M 30 second spot on the Oscars?

    So, Lucid has over 25K reservations and is hoping to deliver 12k-14k vehicles this year. It appears to me it has 12 to 18 months of demand on the books. Isn't the point of ads to generate demand? More reservations will mean more frustrated and angry customers not getting their cars soon. And...

    Road & Track: Who The Hell Is Going to Buy a Lucid?

    To pay taxes on his options which he could no longer delay exercising.

    LCID 2021 Q4 Earnings

    The people claiming Lucid has a demand problem are laughably wrong. Cars in the field will generate demand. Each Air owner will show his car on average to four other people that can afford a Lucid. Once people know for a fact they can get an Air within 90 days of order that will generate more...

    Air Dream Deliveries?

    Because paparazzi doesn't know Lucid's business model is to sell through company owned stores and thought black was dark blue? :D
