Perhaps it’s why the first people with VINs live in AZ? Much easier to make that delivery when the customer is 10 miles from the plant.
First of all the number for 2021 Deliveries was 577, not 520. The original number of Dream Edition models was 500 and Rawlinson promised 577 deliveries back then. Then the EPA rating came out and they decided to increase the Dream from 500 to 520 to honor the EPA rating. Many people starting thinking the delivery promise was changed to 520 but the reality is the number never changed from the promised 577. As to the 2021 miss, my guess is they didn't deliver even 250 Dream Edition cars in 2021. Pick you own number and we'll see who is correct.
I volunteer to get my GT before earnings call but realistically my DA has not led me to believe that my car will be ready that fast.
I hope you do!
There is no more than 520 Dreams. This has been well stated that it was a limited edition and reservations have been closed for a long time now.
lol no way, if they produce more than 520 that is a REALLY bad look for them
How would it be bad to find out that demand was off the chart for a $169,000 car?
I have a feeling you are going to be pretty disappointed on February 21st.
You are probably right...but lets ponder this for a moment. Lucid still allows Grand Touring Edition reservation holders to get on a wait list for the Dream (see image attached). Yes it is a limited edition but I've never read that Lucid promised no more than 520 will ever be produced. People are turning around and selling them for $200,000! For a cash intensive business, Lucid would be crazy not to deliver more of their highest profit margin car.
It's not bad to know the demand was great, but saying you will only produce 520 and then producing more is the bad look.
They promised the owners that already bought them it would be 520 and no more. They can't do that without getting sued for lost value (ie: my car is no longer as valuable as it was as now there are 600 of them vs just 520)
Some may look at it that way but it could also get people thinking this thing is RED HOT and I gotta have one. Making a few hundred more would be OK for most, I would think. But if you were going to double the number of limited editions then I would agree with you more. Look at it this way. We know Lucid has a waiting list. Those folks want a Dream. Do you want to be the person who tells those folks you can't have one? To me that is the bad look.
I agree. But I've not seen anything printed where Lucid says, "We will produce only 520 Dreams." I have read that was their goal by the end of 2021. If you can share a screen shot where Lucid states the Dream is Limited to only 520, then I'll believe it!
They increased production of the Dream once before. They could do it again. I've looked on the Lucid website and the Q3 2021 report. Can't find any statement that they'll limit to only 520.
