Lucid has sent out conflicting signals about whether the chip shortage will affect delivery dates. In an interview Peter Rawlinson gave shortly after the most recent production delay was announced, he was asked specifically whether chip shortages had anything to do with it. He said that Lucid had had he foresight to lock in the chip supply for its early production runs through "some very savvy" purchasing agreements and that Lucid's schedule would not be impacted. However, more recently, Lucid has begun to refer to chip shortages as part of their difficulty in getting cars to market on schedule.
I'm trying to thread the needle here, but I'm wondering if the difference in these two signals explains why Lucid is now intimating that, while it will still get Dream Editions out the door in 2021, it now might be 2022 before anyone sees their Grand Tourings delivered.
