As a fellow Arizonan, I agree that our Senator should proudly buy a Lucid. However, car purchasing decisions based upon politics are silly. Honestly, he should have just kept the American-made Telsa if he liked it.
I agree with you. There will be some anti-Elon crossover to Lucid. But Lucid will succeed in the long run if the PIF continues to fund until profitability. I suspect they will and have bought a lot of shares under that assumption. Also I love my Air GT. Best car I have owned.
I have had no mechanical issues with my 2022 Air GT, which was delivered in May 2022. Now with 48,000 miles. I found the car remarkably reliable for the first model from a new car company. Great job, Lucid.
Welcome! As a Tesla and Lucid owner, I agree. The Lucid is a much better engineered and “solid” nicer handling ride. My Lucid grip is the same that many have said and that’s the occasional issues with delay in unlocking when you walk up to the car. But it’s minor.
I agree that the Rowlinson departure does not appear to be for cause. I suspect they would have to disclose that anyway. He is also staying on as an advisor — but only to the Chair of the Board, not the company. It’s peculiar. Would have been nice if Peter were present on the earnings call to...
We could debate the Jobs and Peter comparison. But let us just agree to disagree. I think that Peter is a "key man" to Lucid. I am very bullish on Lucid, but why is the target for 2025 only 20,000 vehicles? Yes, that's double 2024. However, if Air sales are flat at 10K (not good...), that leaves...
Yes, that is great. Thank you for pointing this out. I looked at his bio on the Lucid website. They promoted him to SVP of Powertrain on 2/13/25. Just a guess, but it probably coincides with when the Board was deciding about Peter's exit.
Lucid has strong leadership skills and can build and sell cars as Toyota and GM do. However, they have now lost their visionary genius engineer who will help them innovate and stay ahead of Toyota and GM in the EV technology industry. Who is going to take the future Lucid vehicles to the holy...
Lucid without Peter is not Lucid. Lucid only has a chance by having superior technology with key man Peter driving that technology. I agree with BoA. Peter is a "key man" to Lucid. Just like Steve Jobs was a "key man" to Apple in the 1990's when the Board fired him. How did that work out for...
Lucid without Peter is going to have difficulty innovating in my opinion. Look at Tesla. After Peter Rowlinson left Tesla, Tesla has not had any major breakthrough innovations. They are still using the same bulky motors from the Model S developed by Peter. My hope is that the PIF leadership and...
I have met Peter. He IS Lucid. The company NEEDS him. He IS the visionary genius. Sure, others can probably do a better job of ramping up Gravity and Air, but for midsize and future products, Lucid NEEDS Peter to create the "next" innovation. Peter has spoken of the Holy Grail being 5 miles/kWh...
Peter should have been appointed at CTO. Sure they have Air and Gravity with the Zeus drivetrain and then the midsize with the Atlas drivetrain but what comes AFTER that? Peter’s DNA is in the company. Sort of foolish to cut him out of the company and make him a Board advisor only. Sad.
