What wheels, @hydbob? Borski?

22/21 for me...which supposedly from another post was the "standard"

Nothing here and I KNOW I had the very first DE order LOL.

(Also, we are still only in “ordered” state )

I've decided to take the cynical view of this.

Since Lucid knows we're diehard fans, they probably know we pose no risk of canceling our orders over a longer wait. So maybe better to get Gravities first into the hands of those possibly less resolute in their devotion?

i'm pretty skeptical of some of the explanations for the delays, but it would be a MASSIVE stretch to me to think that someone is manually allocating orders by cross referencing forum posts.

And this, right here, is why people are still getting offered DEs.

You mean to make 1K on cancellations?

I agree. My tongue was planted in my cheek when I wrote that.

Well, they don't need to actually read anything we post, just go off the top 10 poster list

I was just told I could buy time by switching to a GT from the DE which would be delivered closer to fall or I lose my deposit now.

I am still trying to find my email where I believe they did say I would get my deposit back until the time they put the car in production.

Anywho I feel they will not win any popularity contest by keeping the deposit because apparently there is enough demand for the DE from non-owners.

GTs were a refundable deposit, DEs were non-refundable. It was like that from the beginning to my knowledge, but I'm definitely aware some people jumped in before fully reading that in the DE fine print.

OR they are trying to keep all us "returning customers" happy by holding off and NOT sending us the first few builds and let the new folks to the brand be guinea pigs this go around!! Given that all the new deliveries that we have heard of thus far seem to be going to new owners, this might be the case

@Kzooguy - Does ordering an maxed-out Air GT in 12/22, and receiving it in 4/23 (Stealth delay…) make me a ‘new customer’?
