It seems like a lot of the 26 gravity inventory is clearing out. For the past couple weeks I've been watching and the number of available configurations has really narrowed.
it’s pretty stupid. What makes a 2027 a 2027? It’s the same exact car. It’s even being sold in 2026. Clearly it was an excuse to pause production to fix issues.
To their credit they did simplify the package offerings and options quite a bit.
I think their excuse was the 1-month stop sale for the seat issue. Probably the best time for them to incorporate any changes for a 2027 model.
Everything does. Please stop repeating this as if it is meaningful in some way. Lawyers file pointless class actions regularly.
didn't say it was valid or not, but now they're forced to answer each one of them is what I'm saying. The ambulance chasers involved are citing that specific instance apparently. Lucid isn't very scandalous but I guess that was enough.Everything does. Please stop repeating this as if it is meaningful in some way. Lawyers file pointless class actions regularly.
I’m not a lawyer, but I know plenty.
If the case is decided in the plaintiffs’ favor, then we can act like it’s meaningful.
let me quote myself and say I don't think they are valid, but that delay was what they are citing, and now Lucid is forced to respond.

What is the weird config you mention?
This site lists different numbers and it looks like they brought on extra employees for both the Air and Gravity ramp ups and then adjusted.I know this is way off topic for a thread about legless AI, ambulance chasers, etc. but I wanted to try and quantify the recent layoffs since the other thread was closed.
Lucid started with 9,000 employees which is a pretty small company. In 2023 they cut 1,300 and in 2024 cut another 400 employees according to filings, so down to 7,700.
Four months ago they trimmed 18% or 1,386 employees including 319 in the Bay Area (mostly Newark HQ I am guessing) leaving now 6,314.
On June 22 they laid off an additional 18% of the workforce with 136 from Newark, and as reported in an Arizona paper about 700 from AMP-1 with another 300 scattered about at other locations. My Service Rep at San Jose said they lost one front guy (Service Reception?) but the otherwise service team was spared.
So Lucid as a company is down to 5,177 headcount. Ouch
They did note that Marc Winterhoff gets to keep his company car, so now he will line up for OTA updates just like the rest of us, I guess.

For quite a few years I interviewed extremely senior software engineers and asked them to design an elevator control system as an interview question. Most failed due to the complexity, and the real insight was how they tackled a difficult problem, and not whether they succeeded or not.
Well, I do appreciate your optimism. It is always possible that behind the considerable layoffs that Lucid is on a hiring spree...
And they'll also kill everyone in them like a car would. My friend is an elevator mechanic and they are very complex and the stakes very high.
Add in that every tech company I talk to is thinking about expanding hiring in oversees offices, just due to concern about US politics and the ability to get visas for foreign labor. Middle Eastern oil states lean heavily on foreign labor, and in my experience their visa system makes it easy for companies to bring in foreign workers. On the flip side, Saudi Arabia isn't necessarily high on the list of countries that skilled foreign workers are thinking about moving to.
Don't know that it's actually all that weird: I select the inventory filters for GGT, any miles/availability/model year, 5 seats, 20/21 wheels, leather seats, dynamic handling, comfort. The results are just one vehicle from each model year.
What’s the point you’re trying to make? And I say that respectfully because it doesn’t read well. Is it that the company is in trouble based on reduced headcount? Was overly staffed and now not so much?I know this is way off topic for a thread about legless AI, ambulance chasers, etc. but I wanted to try and quantify the recent layoffs since the other thread was closed.
