interesting, didn't know the discussions actually went that far and seriously. i thought it was preliminary "deal exploration" by elon, and he just ran his mouth soon after. didn't even know they got far to entertain and negotiate on the offer.
at this point, it's hard to tell which side of the...
in the PIF, is the lucid one of its first/older investments? trying to see if there are older investments by the PIF that we can use as a measuring stick to see the saudi's patience and appetite for loss. if we can find precedents that we can compare lucid to, it'll give us a better picture of...
hmmm i can't find it. do you remember if they actually got the 2.5k rebate? or they were just talking about it. cuz according to their website, it needs to be less than 45k. and if you check their vehicle eligibility list, lucid isn't listed.
there's also an income limit. but maybe you are...
as the consumer, what's the extent of our liability and responsibility if we lease the lucid and they declare bankruptcy during the lease?
im leaning towards leasing in case something happens, and if it looks like things have stabilized by then, i'll buy it out
true, but i was thinking more from a safety standpoint. in the video, the back shattered glass, but at least they had the metal roof for some level of protection
thank god it isn't. i made a pure reservation with the intention of upgrading to touring. thought i big brained it by reserving the pure since it was going to be "produced last," so i could keep the "upgrade with original pricing" window open longer
you're absolutely amazing. your ability to mental gymnastics anything into a self pity party is stunning. here we are, a bunch of online strangers shooting the shit talking about baby nursery rhymes, but you still manage to twist a thread that's by now twice removed from the original topic to be...
from my convo with them a while back, they deduct the 7.5k from the price, then base the lease off that. definitely makes things easier. hopefully that hasn't changed
i definitely agree, but also think that whether something like this works or not is heavily dependent on how the manufacturing line is run. moving orders from one part of the scheduled timeline to another isn't always a 1 for 1 trade. depending on the line's efficiency at the time of switching...
to calm people down, lucid should explain that they batch colors during production. it would help people understand why some later confirmation holders are getting their VINS before their early confirmations and leapfrogging them. some got lucky picking a color scheme that was getting produced...
not taking the income level threshold into consideration, it looks like this will be worse for the majority of brands and consumers in the short term, since a lot less options will qualify for the 7.5k credit, limiting consumers who are sensitive to the credit. in the long term, it might be a...
firstly, i'd like to thank @hydbob for letting me sit in his car today to play around with everything. also, this is a completely subjective review. This here would be a more objective review of the system done by @copper .
some disclaimer about myself: im a normal dude who listens to a normal...
