They have at least “confirmed” all of the Dream Reservations. As for production, they seem to be still working on them. I have been told that the first GTs will be rolling off this month after the Dreams are complete.So am I to assume that all the Dream orders have been completed?

I wonder if I can hold off on this but retain my reservation? I’d like to see if a tri-motor air is to be announced sometime next year or if they add the automatic doors back along with the air suspension.
"In production" is rather ill-defined. I was told my DE was "in the early stages of production" three weeks before I received the VIN over two weeks ago, and I have still received no word on delivery.
We're heading into the second week of December. Having Grand Tourings "in production" could still mean no deliveries until later in January.
I hope I’m wrong but I’m thinking I won’t see mine until sometime in January.
I wish Lucid was more transparent in their communication.I hope you're wrong, too, but I fear you may not be. I asked my Delivery Advisor last week about rumors that Dream deliveries had been temporarily suspended. She denied it and assured me that all Dream Editions would be delivered by year end. However, I've received enough misinformation about order of production from Lucid not to take such assurances seriously.
I was set up for home delivery in Naples but was asked last week if I would consider picking up the car in West Palm Beach. That's almost 3 hours away, so I asked about delivery at the Miami studio but was told their downtown location in a sidewalk mall made it unsuitable for deliveries. So our delivery venue is not yet established, as we're having several rounds of company over the holidays, and Lucid still can't give me a delivery window. (I got my VIN on November 19.) I don't want to lose an entire day dealing with car delivery on the other side of the state.
I suspect I won't be the only Dream Edition customer for whom the holidays will create delivery issues, with many customers traveling and/or having guests.

While the holidays *will* create issues for people, Lucid at least appears to be willing to coordinate and work with customers to make it happen.
I have the T on reservation. I probably won’t see it until Q3-4, 2022.Got an update call from CS just to tell me they were still targeting a delivery by year end and product is continuously being perfected...He did mention they were all working long hours. Make of that what you will but chances of few hundred DEs being delivered over the next 3 weeks are slim to none

I called my Delivery Advisor for an update today. She said today's report from the production line was that my car was still either in the "final stages" of production or waiting to be readied for transport. I asked if I could be sure of getting the car by year end in order to preserve the federal tax credit, and she stopped somewhat short of an assurance and instead gave the more ambiguous answer of, "that's our goal".
It's been five weeks since I was told the car was "in the early stages" of production and over two weeks since I was given a VIN (which i was earlier told came near the end of production). I don't know what Lucid defines as the start point and end point of production, but five weeks by any measure seems an awfully long time.
And the "product is continuously being perfected"? That's an odd thing to say about a car that we were told last March was being delayed for months in order to assure top-notch quality in the first copy off the production line. Should I be glad my car is apparently near the end of the Dream production queue . . . or worried that I should have waited another year or two for the tri-motor?
I wouldn’t think so. I’m not a lawyer but have been CFO of 2 NYSE traded companies and am currently on the Board of a Fortune 100. I can’t see how the subpoena (as disclosed by Lucid) could have anything to do with deliveries. If anything, as @hmp10 previously said, you would think they would want to speed up these deliveries. I do think the subpoena or expectation of a subpoena might make them much less communicative.Unfortunately, this reminds me of the "slow no" banks give you when they are going to turn you down for a mortgage/loan. If it weren't for no other cars being delivered I would have said this was related to color choice. Those with stock SEC backgrounds can chime in as to whether this subpoena could be causing this.
