I am repeating myself, so I promise I will only write this one more time. Beginning with the unveiling last November (if not earlier), Lucid has been very disciplined in its earnings reports and other communications---except for apparently one sales email to @hmp10---to say that the "start of...

Good catch by you earlier in this thread! Glad we can put to rest the theory that pulling the video was evidence of an undisclosed delay in production….

It happens at 1:51, too. And, unfortunately, the accompanying voiceover at that moment is talking about how Gravity is "broadening the attribute diagram of this class of vehicle"---while a Rivian is being shown. Of course they have to go back and fix this.

Notwithstanding your use of quotation marks, that is a journalist's paraphrasing. The company's statements to the market before and after the Pebble Beach event have specified "start of production" in 2024, and analysts don't expect deliveries until 2025. I can't wait for Gravity to arrive...

Let’s not move the goalposts, please. Lucid has not said it plans on “customer deliveries” by the end of the year, but rather the “start of production.” (Early-production vehicles may go to employees, journalists, etc.) I’d like to see an order configurator, too—mostly to see specs and...

I want to be optimistic, too, but they have only promised the start of production this year, not deliveries. One vehicle coming off the production line on New Year’s Eve would be a promise kept!

No, it was still a possibility. He tweeted: "We have not said we will announce pricing on October 3." That is different from saying that they wouldn't announce pricing today. And I am sure that, as Head of Comms, he chooses his words very carefully.

Perhaps they will aim for doing something prior to the Q3 earnings announcement (which, based on the last three years, will likely be made in the first half of November).

You say that Gravity will be sold in a relatively small market segment (full-size SUVs), and that the true test of Lucid's competitiveness will be whether it can sell a significant volume in the much larger mid-size vehicle market segment (which we will only know in 2026 or later). That does...

I'm not sure analysts will be that patient. Recent price forecasts have discussed the importance of increasing volume in 2025. If Gravity is priced in excess of $100k until 2026, increasing volume significantly may be challenging.

The article is not very clearly written, but I don't think this is correct. The $80k price would be for a Pure. Eventually. Peter Rawlinson said the following on September 12: "We envisage Gravity being from a price point just below $80,000 at some stage. I'm not saying we will launch with...

Are you allowed to say where the charging port was on the Gravity that you rode in last week? From LeVar Burton's pictures, it looked as though it was at the front.... If the move to NACS was a last-minute decision, I'm wondering whether it will slow down production.

In the teaser clip for tomorrow's installment in the "Road to Gravity" series, three of the Gravity shells going through the paint shop have a charging port at the front of the car, two have charging ports at both the front and the back, and none has one only at the back. I wonder how late in...

Whether to wait longer for the base trim will probably be the question that I face. And---just to use my own family as an example---I am not sure what decision we will make. By late 2023, we really needed to add a second car. My wife wanted it to be a 3-row SUV. We almost pulled the trigger...

Out of curiosity, what is the generally-understood rationale for this? (Not trying to be confrontational, just curious.) Is it that they want to see first whether there is demand at a higher price point, and that they will roll out a base trim if and when the market forces them to do so?

That's disappointing (to me personally, given household finances!), but certainly not surprising. When the guy from Morgan Stanley heard Peter Rawlinson say that, he asked: "I'm just throwing this out there, kinda like what ... Rivian ... R1S is, in that $90, low $90s kind of thing." (Peter...

It sounded as though attendees would get to ride in (maybe drive?) Gravity. I wonder if there were any journalists/influencers in attendance. Would be great to get some reviews of the pre-production models....

Sure, but don't you think that there is some significance to specifying that production will begin in late 2024 and that NACS will come in 2025?

Was it shown in two different places? I saw the image of the NACS port on the driver's side rear (the same image Lucid has now posted on Twitter), and then a picture of the first pre-production model coming off the line with a charge port door (which I assume has a CCS port inside it) on the...

I am glad to hear that!
