Gravity Orders Discussion

[DrLucid]

I bet you the midsize will suffer the same fate....all noise and no action in 2026....

Fantastic vehicles but they really need to do much better getting sales. By the time affordable Gravity Touring/Pure comes out, everyone would have moved on to something else- hope it does not suffer the same fate as the Air.

Come on Lucid, lets get moving!

You have a point and hc_79 also has a valid point. What you are trying to say is totally valid except for the bankruptcy because lucid really has a strong talent and they are working on improving unlike the bankrupt companies. It’sa company with great values and intent. The main problem is with their communications and Advertising. Recently I saw a ad on Instagram where I saw the last standing infront of the lucid air was in focus with the car in the back ground.
Lucid doesn’t need models, their model is their technology instead of highlighting that they are choosing the trend when they can create a trend.
Lucid is a long term winner not a short term bet

Any movement on delivery date? This drag is really hurting stock price, bankruptcy fears and then lower sales....this visious circle needs to be broken by producing and selling boatloads of Grvaity. Come on lucid...lets go!

If you are not holding the stock with long-term goals in mind, you should not be holding this stock. This is not a stock that is a short-term play, and never has been. Anything else anyone tells themselves is lying to themself to justify the money they’ve sunk into it; this is called the sunk cost fallacy.

This is not financial advice, do your own homework, etc.

On the earnings call they said, “initial deliveries before year end and delivery at scale towards the end of the first quarter” (or something in that vein). I’ve also heard three other recorded convos with Peter spanning October through two weeks ago in which he said the same. What else is there to say?

With regard to the mention of stock price by a subsequent post, it absolutely is a LONG term play…and a really risky one at that. I am sitting on 20,000 shares because I deeply believe in the company, but I’d suggest looking at the stock price semi-annually, not daily, for sure!

Remember, the new Administration here in the US is a HUGE variable with regard to EV’s, energy and transportation policy. No institutional investors is going to risk major $$ in Lucid no matter how they communicate until we gain some clarity on those macro level things.

I don’t believe at all that Lucid will go bankrupt. But many uninformed public will, by looking at social media and the stock price. It will create a lot of negativity and lose sales. This is the cycle that needs to be broken.

They need to focus more on getting the word out, even after 3 years, best sedan in the world, and most people never heard of it.

On the cusp of production of a game changer SUV and stock price in the dumps…..you would think there should be more excitement. I bet you if stock price was higher, and no one mentioning bankruptcy ( including you Mr.Musk), they would have many more sales.

Lucid needs to hustle, get those vehicles out…create buzz, create excitement about the company, tell everyone about the tech, it’s a tech driven world. They should fire their advertising company and get someone else.

This is a great point...especially in light of the other start-up EV makers that have gone bankrupt in the past two years (Fisker, Lordstown Motors, Proterra, etc.). The general public gets these events stuck in their head along with the never-ending media mantra of "EV's were over-hyped and have fallen on hard times" and Trump's comments about EV's and so on and so on.

Lucid's technology and situation ARE demonstrably different (as is their financial backing), but even with my love of the company and its tech, it took me over a year to convince myself not to worry about a bankruptcy and to buy the Air...

Then you should not care about the stock price today, tomorrow, next week, or next month. Stop looking at it, and let it ride. If you cannot do that, that’s ok, but you will be unhappy for a long time. This is true of any long term position, as long as you believe in the fundamentals / the company.

This comment from Kyle on X.

I had the same thoughts taking the Lincoln Navigator limo service back from the airport. It's also a $95-110K 3 row SUV vehicle once spec'd like a Gravity, except worst in just about everyway. The interior materials look 'nice/premium' but up close they are not.

Their stock seems appropriately priced given their cash on hand and actual ability to generate cash flow from sales at this point in the company's life cycle.

Lucid is trying very hard to thread their way around multiple concerns with respect to marketing and initial deliveries of Gravity.

With the election and the holidays, it is very difficult for Lucid's marketing to get much oxygen. Hence, the silence is not unexpected. They should not spend marketing dollars when they will not be heard. There is a couple of weeks now at the beginning of December and before Christmas to get some press and we are seeing some of the influencers getting access to Gravity for reviews. I am very much looking forward to these reviews.

Second, Lucid just kicked of the "Compromise Nothing" branding campaign which I think is very good. The easiest way to kill that brand identity and sink all of the money spent on it is to deliver Gravity before it is ready. I really have no idea if Lucid will deliver any Gravity's before the end of the year. I hope they do, but I would rather they deliver an "un-compromised" product than deliver too early.

About the only thing I have to add to this thread is that Lucid WILL deliver Gravity THIS month! Yes, one or a dozen cars count!

Everyone says, "do your homework" but few do! The 2008 Tesla Roadster delivered 1 car (may have been 5) in 2008 and the rest in 2009 & did not even call the cars delivered in 2009 a model year 2009 but kept them called a model year 2008! My guess is that Gravity will be called a 2025, even the one or dozen that are delivered in 2024 but they will deliver in 2024!

I know in some countries you can bet on just about anything so if someone can find me a link to a line on "will Gravity be delivered in 2024" I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is!

 

[HC_79]

FUD? Not delivering Gravity till now is not FUD. It's the truth. I know they want perfection, but come on.....they couldn't get figure it out still? Orders opened on earnings day, then just silence......why even tell everyone deliveries starting in Q4 2024 when they will deliver, I don't know, maybe ONE VEHICLE?

Hey, we kept our promise...deliveries starting on Q4... we delivered one vehicle....we kept our promise!

Lucid NEVER promised deliveries in Q4 they said starting PRODUCTION in Q4. They're two very different things and this has been discussed multiple times on this forum. Many were hoping that they may get some deliveries this quarter but Lucid has no obligation to deliver any Gravities in 2024.

Just a bit of good news to add here. Gravity is the most searched-for new vehicle:

According to car leasing firm Xcite, which combed through the search giant’s data, the vast majority of soon-to-be-launched cars googled in the United States were, you guessed it, EVs. The top search was for the upcoming Lucid Gravity, with over 40,000 average monthly searches, followed by the ill-fated Fisker Pear with a little over 18,000 hits per month.

Full article here. (Why the Pear was #2 is beyond me.) Of course, leading this list is not a guarantee of anything, but the marketing funnel starts with "awareness" so progress is being made.

Great name-to-theory @borski !
sunk-cost-fallacy
"The sunk cost fallacy is our tendency to follow through with something that we’ve already invested heavily in (be it time, money, effort, or emotional energy), even when giving up is clearly a better idea."
Explains a lot not just about stocks but also politics and life!

Lets start a rumor that @segbrk and @borski and co. are running scripts to inflate searches and wait for some “journalist” to pick it up and run with it

Well, Peter was listening, they just produced the 1st customer Gravity!

I don't code anymore, that's why I hired @segbrk to work for me for free. Now I just give management advice.

The car in the headline picture in that electrek article looks like the "Late Availability" Lunar Titanium exterior? Or is it just Stellar white with odd lighting?
