In my case, I suspect that both the DDP calibration and the headlight calibration had somehow fallen through the cracks in the build process. My headlights were way too low, and long after I had them fixed and DDP was getting better, I found out that my DDP was way off too. Might just have been...

When I had that problem, I took it in for service, and they recalibrated the DDP system. It made a huge difference. Since you'll have it on the rack, I suggest that you also have your headlights checked.

Not that this old fart would ever want even more power... or at least want to PAY for more, but I wondered if our many performance-driven owners are expecting such an upgrade at some point. I know Tesla has done it, but I don't know when in the product life cycle it is typically offered. I'm...

In case you were wondering what's up with Mike Bell... February 27, 2025 08:01 AM Eastern Time Digital computing veteran who has led companies including Apple, Intel, Lucid Motors and Rivian Automotive aims to advance Chemify’s digital chemistry platform GLASGOW, Scotland--(BUSINESS...

Since musing on the possibilities seems to be acceptable here... Tesla, fed up with Elon Musk's numerous distractions and adverse impact on sales, ousts him and entices Peter to return to Tesla as CEO. Peter quickly turns around their product line by licensing Lucid's proprietary technology...

There is one other possibility, and I wish I had taken a screenshot of this. I charged two days ago, and the handshake failed. When the app initiated the process where you click the EA button and the app then prompts you to enter the station number, I could swear that the app instructions said...

What year? :-)

I can't say that for sure, but I had the impression that it was a major funding issue, and it's the PIF with the most skin in the game. It may have been a concession in order to get them to go all in.

I wonder about how different a position we would be in right now if Peter had been allowed to launch an SUV as Lucid's first product, which (as I understand it) he pretty much begged to board and the PIF to approve.

This one will hurt. That said, and as a general rule, I think it's just about impossible to rely on the after/pre market movement of any heavily shorted and thinly traded stock. They are too easy for large interest groups to manipulate short term.

Don't nobody wait for an argument from me. In fact, instead of an idle fee, I think every site should have a flogging post! Let's get mideaval on these transgressors!!!

Cut prices further? I think the price cuts have already reached the point of diminishing the perceived 'flagship/premium' value of these outstanding vehicles, and then some. At some point, less is just less.

To me, the unfortunate thing about Peter's comment about the company being 80% technology licensing and 20% vehicle sales is that the 80/20 was misunderstood as the revenue split, when I'm sure he meant the profit split. A huge portion of licensing revenue falls right to the bottom line, but...

I agree with @tonybot, in that there's a big difference between a role as Strategic Technical Advisor to the board vs. the company. My guess is that all of the churn at the various executive levels is a key driver.

With all this talk about idle fees, I don't know if anyone has mentioned what the EA idle fees actually are. Here's a photo I took this morning. After a 10 minute grace period, idle fees begin to rack up at $0.40/minute. So, if you show up 30 minutes late, you will have an $8.00 idle fee...

I agree, but the issue refuses to die. I have tried to explain it on several different threads, but some people remain quite concerned about these charges. That said, I agree that it's been explained more than enough, and too easily gets muddied with other issues, such as the loss of free...

Ha! I just charged today. Had one immediate connection failure, and the second attempt pinged me to identify the charger station # via the app. The wording suggested the possibility of a charge per kWh, but upon entering the station number, the charge was set at zero. Charged to 80%, and got...

Again, still relevant, but the Lucid Charging - Base Plan is a totally different animal from what this thread is talking about.
