Tesla has said NACS is an open standard. With Tesla, GM and Ford now using NACS it is effectively THE US/Canadian standard. There could be lawsuits if Tesla rejected Lucid's application join NACS on equal footing to GM/Ford. Not only would it be horrible look on Musk/Tesla but Lucid would...

Of course the Sport Turismo is a (station) wagon. A wagon with a coupe/sports back. Not a 70's style squareback wagon. And most definitely the best looking and most practical of the Taycans. I have yet to read a professional auto journalist claim Dream/GT/Performance handles better than...

No they don't. I am supporter of Lucid, Tesla and Rivian. Slightly positive on GM and Ford. As a general rule I hope American companies do well in the global marketplace and I especially cheer on companies that are doing mostly good for the world. Like pure BEV companies. I don't have to...

Just curious what makes you think I might be against Lucid?

Elon is a technical genius but human psychology is his blind spot. Especially in absence of traditional marketing, Model S and Model X are the best advertising for Model 3 and Model Y. He has recently said they will "try advertising" but they will still not do traditional marketing...

Where will Oceans be serviced? Does Fisker plan a North American and European wide Service Center Network? Or are they planning to go 3rd Party? Like Pep Boys in the USA?

Yes, Ocean is less aerodynamic than Fat Prius. The Longhorn Cheese Prius. Not the new good looking Prius. Fat Prius is also 64" tall but that is at its peak. Whereas Ocean is a flat roof 64" tall.

Air is 55.5" tall. Ocean is 64.2" tall. I take it ingress and egress will be a lot easier in the Fisker.

So there is enough cash to get to Jan 1,2025? Agree the sooner the better for the capital raise. You don't want to wait till the house is on fire and the wolves are at the door.

And for anyone who still thinks Tesla sold 176,372 Model S in 2022 here is Tesla's production capacity.

1) Tesla started with Roadster because any car they made had to sell for ~$120k plus in 2008 US dollars and people were more willing to pay $120k for roadsters than sedans/CUVS . And Lotus was willing to manufacture cars under contract for Tesla. And Lotus could more cheaply make modified Lotus...

LOL Tesla doesn't break down sales between Model S and Model X. Any quoted numbers are an estimate. Tesla's best year for combined Model S/X sales was 2017 with 101,312 sales. We know the biggest or second biggest market for S/X is China. And in China X womps on S sales.

No Gravity won't do that. It would just more than double demand and not have Lucid vehicles sitting at stores. With $7,500 discount. Stinger is going away while Telluride is going over sticker years after introduction. You can't make a business on selling enthusiast cars. Unless you are a...

For every Air buyer that would not purchase the Gravity there would be at least 2 customers that would. Market demand for sedans vs CUVs/SUVs is undeniable.

My bet is on a $95k starting price for Gravity. If it takes Lucid 10 years to get to a $65k CUV then they are going out of business. They don't need all of the luxuries and features of the Air at this price point. Rivian is building their factory in Georgia for their more affordable more mass...

You misread what I am saying. The first car should have been the Gravity. Beating the Model X range by a wide margin. The Gravity should command higher prices just like the X commands a premium on the S. Demand for X is at least 2x the S. But Tesla doesn't breakdown their sales numbers.

Once you have the Model S and Model X competitor the next logical step is Model Y not Model 3. Like the Model S competitor it should not be priced the same. It would be a more luxurious product with better tech so it should be priced higher. Model Y is currently in the $48k-$75k price...

I think you will be waiting for Gadot. Lucid doesn't have Mercedes or BMW bandwidth. They don't have dealers with lots capable of carrying hundreds of vehicles. Lucid needs a Model Y competitor way before they start making structural derivatives of the Gravity.

Electrify America was not a free-market response to market demand. It was part of the Dieselgate settlement VW agreed to with the Dept of Justice. It seems charging companies see a pathway to profitable charging in urban cores. There are over a dozen networks serving major North American...

i5 has a massive hood to house I6 engine but no frunk but it does have a boxy useful 17.3 cubic foot trunk. Rear seats also fold down with wide pass through. Not very much rear seat legroom in 199.2" sedan but easy ingress and egress. Especially in front. Car is not too low. Roof is not too...
