    Lucid Air Sapphire Drag Race

    Beat both the Bugatti (2nd) and Plaid (DFL). Amazing video. Number at the proper track would be insane. Wonder if I should save up more and aim for the Sapphire

    Letter to Lucid on Midsized Vehicle

    The most we ever got with our MYP was 220mi (despited the EPA range of 320). That said, some of our friends/relatives got more & a lot more. But the overall perception is that Tesla's superior range/tech make up for their build quality My neighbor is now miserable with his Audi e-tron. I'm sure...

    Audi e-tron: battery 95KwH, EPA range 210 mile Vinfast VF8: battery 82 KwH, EPA range 180 mile (and we know the battery costs $18K, price difference between lease/buy) Porsche Taycan: battery 93 KwH, EPA range 205 mile Mercedes EQS: battery 108 KwH, EPA range 340 mile Lucid Air Pure: battery...

    Letter to Lucid on Midsized Vehicle

    Lucid could license or supply tech/components for other makers to make EV in the lower price range. This would give them a much better margin & while focusing in the mid/high end sedans & SUVs.

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Touring

    If anything, the stock tanking would make the management & S.A being more humble.... This time last year, Lucid folks were talking as if they would take over the EV world. I have friends & relatives working at Lucid, and I did hear that the management is quite arrogant - up until lately when...

    LCID just went below $8

    It was Daimler and Toyota that saved Tesla (along with Obama), just as Bill Gates saved Apple. Most folks now never witness the days when AAPL, TSLA, AMD, NVDA, NEE got destroyed by FUD or cling on for their dear life ...

    LCID just went below $8

    This is just the beginning of Lucid - yet people treat it as it's at the end of the runway. The market swing both ways - in irrational ways. Currently, many stocks that hit 52week high are those that were jokers & rejected by the market just a year or two ago, due to lack of growth or no long...

    Off-Topic GMC Hummer EV

    The truck is so heavy (almost twice the weight of his old Suburban), it cracked my neighbor driveway !!! It also costs him more to drive this crazy EV than his old 2021 Suburban !!!

    Volvo C40 recharge vs Lucid software

    My neighbor, who owns one of the first 100 Lucid built, went from being totally miserable with UX 1.0 to a quite happy & proud owner with UX 2.x. He's a no-tech old-money guy, and simply judging the car by the direct experience. Many of us who receive the car now with UX 2.x would totally miss...

    Lucid vs Tesla

    There are more than 20 Teslas in our extended family (large) - varying from the cheapest models to the most expensive ones (see pix when we gathered at our grandma's house). All of them are fun to drive, and simple to own (we all charge at home though many cars have free lifetime charge). Many...

    Lucid future and possible consequences

    Seeing how the Qatar spent $220B in the WorldCup, with expected rev be around $15B - the rest is to invest for a long term future with less dependency on oil, I wouldn't worry much about the Saudi pulling the plug on its EV investment based on short term loss. These large funds are in for the...

    Open Letter to Peter and Team - a rant

    If Lucid can license their motor/inverter/tech, then they don't need to build as many cars. Licensing tech will be a lot more lucrative & higher margin (and reduce all the complexity of sale & retails). My neighbor just took his 2022 Audi e-tron (really nice, black version S) from OC to San...

    Those poor poor Lucids

    Don't recall any other car that did this - well, may be military vehicles

    Those poor poor Lucids

    Lucid achieved one of the highest results ever. The Germany test is much tougher than the US's one yet Lucid aced it. The Lucid was built so well that it bends the testing ram. Unreal !!!

    Open Letter to Peter and Team - a rant

    Put it in another way, LUCID engineering is clever, but the execution & marketing is horrible. Don't have to look far, just scan through the GlassDoor reviews. My relatives, who work for Lucid, think the reviews are pretty accurate. Worse, Lucid's management only want to hear & talk about good...

    New cars being offered at old price?

    This offer is to employees only - similar to Rivian and Tesla did with their employees discounts. Many folks in the executive & management team paid FULL retail price for their cars.

    Please critique my piece in Barron's

    As bad as this article sounds, I also think it also helps to put pressure on the company management regarding estimations or to be more transparent about problems/solutions. In regard to the quote from Adam Jones, he is also one who went from flipping his original target for Tesla from ...ZERO...
