Thought a bit about it--it's the cost + hassle of storing a set, and twice a year going to (I assume) Goose Island for the switch Yes---my point, which I regret wants clear

No---it's a concern of the 20s performing in upper-Midwest winters...

I made the same call--but in doing so am rolling the dice that an all-weather 20" comes to market by Nov 2023

They'll do what market forces dictate--7500 could become 9,000 or 3750---on GT, Touring, Pure, roofs, glass, DDP, etc They're into a dynamic pricing strategy that involves making bets in what motivates customers to buy and what doesn't. Two Qs ago the backlog was 34,000...then in Nov 30,000...

So..."debate" is a bad thing on this site...gotta think about that

What do you mean by "anti-science faction of our population"? and if it even exists, what does it have to do with EA's failures?

I know...broken record, but...on the upcoming earnings call if the backlog for Airs has degraded since 3Q22, Lucid will have to cut prices on all models in order to bridge to the next product---which is Gravity--another $100k+ unit...rarified air, given EV disappointments, high interest rates...

Also this way you don't pay sales tax on $7500--not huge, but where I live it equals to a case of pretty good wine

I think the answers to these questions will determine the future of the company..and I believe in it's future, mostly because of the Saudi backing. In many ways, the perfect partner. If orders for Air variants are shrinking significantly, there is no Act 2 until Gravity sometime in 2024---and...

Thanks for explaining. I guess the worst case---changing to glass, but missing the delivery deadline---can be avoided by changing back to metal when the time comes.

How do you do it? Under your account on the Lucid site? Are you sure you'll get it before the promo ends? Thx

So Joe---you think all Tourings will be equipped with DDP even if the customer didn't order it? I hope that's right, because I don't think it's going to be worth 9k to me, but I might l do it on a subscription basis to see. The only things that appeal to me are the blindspot camera view and...

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet..."

This is probably wishful, but I think they might extend the discount past April 30, depending on market conditions. It would have been dumb not to include an expiration date because without a sense of urgency a lot of people would likely sit back....hope rates go down, see what other car makers...

Ahh, you mean metal won't be deliverable before the cutoff for the price drop...didn't think of it that way, but it makes sense. (except that they might not cut off the 7500 when they claim) But still an arbitrary outcome for someone who doesnt buy into the glass roof

My guess is their backlog shrank again in Q4 and their doing this in part to get ahead of the Feb earnings call on which they'll have to disclose the order book

Yeah---I'm in the same boat, and had the identical thought: never felt the glass roof was worth $4000, at least not to me. But if they effectively pay me $3500 to put one on, I probably will... It seems pretty arbitrary to leave the metal roof crowd out in this. When I ordered my car a year...

Surely driven both extensively (recently, since T price cuts, but admittedly not convinced). Rawlinson can declare (maybe naively/disingenuously) that L doesn't complete with T...but is He right---or the Market?

Well....then how do they sell their shares if they want/need to get out? ("Hey! Abdullah?...this is Tyler! I own 87 shares and was wondering....")
