Hey everyone,
It has been a while.
I wanted to highlight, with some extra detail, an event at the Tysons Delivery Center hosted last week. An invitation was sent out to members of the owners club in the DC area for a meeting and greet with executives from Lucid corporate. By design due to ever changing travel schedules, they did not specify which executives would be present. The traffic and weather were awful before during, and after this event, held at rush-hour on a weekday one of the busiest locales in our area.
Peter showed up, to everyone’s surprise, and could not have been more genial and friendly and it felt like he wanted to spend more time chatting with the Lucid owners in the parking lot carry on with activities going on inside. He signed frunks, and hats and applied bear stickers. It was awesome to see a handful of other owners there.
He shared some fun facts about preproduction models, some useful OTAs coming soon, and their miniaturization of the motors. When I asked him, he further confirmed a story I love to tell, that he was indeed the chief designer and engineer of the model S who left Tesla to return to the UK to be with his ill mum on her deathbed, much to the chagrin and disapproval or his then boss, Elon, that has, seemingly, since never forgiven Peter for putting his family first. These are values and origin stories worth sharing.
It was a wonderful event and I hope everyone, even if not there, can appreciate Lucid leadership taking the time to sincerely interact with customers like this.
Lastly, we are overdue for a meet-up, and proposing mid/late August for a Lucid and Lattes event. How do the 18th, 24th, or 25th look for everyone?
Cheers,
Stealth
