    Motor Trends Gets to Look into Lucid's Crystal Ball

    I, too, like the current fob for the same reason. However, at least the Gravity fob doesn't seem to be too overboard. And maybe we won't have to remember how many taps and holds on which part of the uniformly-black surface to execute a command. I mean, for size and weight, have you seen the...

    Motor Trends Gets to Look into Lucid's Crystal Ball

    I sorta freaked when I first saw that picture for the same reason. However, someone on the forum (can't remember who) had reliable information that it would be adjustable, although I don't remember whether independently so.

    Motor Trends Gets to Look into Lucid's Crystal Ball

    But they were very specific that it was the Model S sales they were comparing to Lucid sales. So many journalist wannabes have fallen into the trap of buying into Tesla hype of its awesome dominance that they don't even pay attention to actual facts and details when they gush about Tesla.

    Motor Trends Gets to Look into Lucid's Crystal Ball

    Another article on Lucid came up today, this one from "Autoweek". It continues to amaze me just how much inaccurate crap is put out about Lucid. Here is a passage from the "Autoweek" article, which demonstrates either that basic arithmetic is beyond their grasp, that they have no editorial...

    "Out of Spec Dave" at the New York Auto Show

    I'm not sure that's a totally crazy idea. But, if so, that would be a pretty hair-raising blunder. One other notion did occur to me. I know some antiques dealers who used to do the big shows at the Park Avenue Armory. The behind-the-scene expenses and hassles they ran into, especially...

    "Out of Spec Dave" at the New York Auto Show

    This keeps coming up as a possible reason. Maybe. But Lucid execs are still doing the interview circuit to discuss the "Gravity" at length and not taking those occasions to hedge a bit on whether this will be the permanent name. And they're still calling it "Gravity" on their website. In...

    "Out of Spec Dave" at the New York Auto Show

    I did a little digging on two domestic auto shows this year: the Chicago show in February, which is the world's largest in terms of floor space and number of displays, and the New York Show that just ended. Lucid appeared at the Chicago show this year for the first time. They did not have a...

    Looks like Brooks from Drag Times finally got his hands on a Sapphire....

    Now, if he can just slap some 19" wheels with all season rubber on this thing, he can get a job drag testing for "Edmunds".

    "Out of Spec Dave" at the New York Auto Show

    I agree there may be things relating to the name going on behind the scenes. However, Lucid executives continue to give interviews in which they refer to the "Gravity", and the vehicle was on display in New York. It's just a question of whether more people would have seen it at the Auto Show...

    "Out of Spec Dave" at the New York Auto Show

    I really do worry about Lucid's marketing strategies, especially as they are up against a particularly aggressive and personally malicious rival in Elon Musk. One example is in Naples, FL, a town crawling with high-end vehicles and where I've seen more Lucid Airs than EQS's, i7's and Taycans...

    "Out of Spec Dave" at the New York Auto Show

    If they only had one available it would have had a lot more eyes on it at the Javits Center where it could have been placed at least for the show’s run.

    "Out of Spec Dave" at the New York Auto Show

    "Out of Spec Dave" (father of Kyle Conner of "Out of Spec Studios") posted a video tour of the EVs at the recent New York Auto Show. He begins discussing Lucid at 1:04:00 and says the lines to test drive an Air were the longest he had ever seen at the show. But . . . there was no Gravity at...

    Lucid produced 1,728 vehicles and delivered 1,967 vehicles during this period

    Absolutely. Lucid's biggest problems right now don't revolve around their financials. They revolve around the paucity of cars on the road. Most people are still unfamiliar with the brand, the lack of seeing cars on the road reinforces what some people have heard about Lucid's poor prospects...

    Gravity Closer to Launch

    You certainly won't be riding as high as in an Escalade or even a Rivian. However, in terms of ingress and egress, it is higher off the ground than the Air with a considerably taller door opening. As near as I can tell from what I saw in the showrooms and from watching videos closely, getting...

    Gravity Closer to Launch

    I'm wondering what Lucid's approach is going to be with certain options in terms of whether all the vehicles will have the hardware but that it will be activated through software only if you purchase the option. This is the approach Tesla has taken and that Mercedes and BMW have either done or...

    Gravity Closer to Launch

    It might depend on how close the opening of orders is to the start of production. Supply chain management will need to know what interior colors, wheels, and optional components are needed in what quantities well ahead of production start. My guess is this had something to do with the Air...

    The Economist article

    The proposed efficiency and battery chemistry does look intriguing. However, the vehicle profile and interior shots suggest Mercedes has still learned nothing from Lucid's space packaging magic.

    The Economist article

    With tongue now out of cheek, it's worth noting that Mercedes owns almost 10% of Aston Martin, and Aston sources its gasoline engines from Mercedes as well as the electrical architecture of current Aston ICE models. And, yet . . . when going electric, Aston turned to Lucid for its powertrain...

    The Economist article

    Yes, Lucid's technology is unremarkable. Which is why one of Britain's most iconic performance car makers, Aston Martin, is turning to Tesla for EV powertrain technology. Oh, wait . . . .
