    Its a pleasure to see such beautiful engineering, power of science, great minds, when they work together on productive things ❤ For me its like classic music.

      Well I think it may be more of a demand problem than a ramp up problem, but it is probably both. I don't think any car company can be profitable at 50,000 units or less, unless you can sell them at ferrari or lamborghini type prices.

    It is evident that Lucid was born in Formula One Electric. This level of energy and space efficiency is core to Formula One, be it ICE or BEV.
    Kudos to them.
    The odd thing when listening to their comments on manufacturability, why do they make so few cars? In theory they should be in the 100’s of thousands by now.
    The problem is not the engineers, it’s either their manufacturers or management…. I suspect the latter.

    Great technology and enthusiasm from the team. A real shame is that the whole company (Lucid) is now worth less than 7 billion dollars (Petty cash for Tesla) Lucid has fallen another 5% today having already fallen 45% in the last 12 months. I do hope that even if Lucid fails into bankruptcy that all this great technology lives on with a company that will use all their great research and patents. It is very hard to see how Lucid can scale to profitability fast enough to survive.

    Q1 2024: Lucid lost around $350,000 per car delivered

Model 3 was out before lucid started..and sold model y before lucid began selling their first cars.. now model y is best selling vehicle world wide 2023 nearly 1.3 million sold, lucid still hasn't made more then 10k+ cars in a single year. Lucid is still at the roadster level tesla was in 2011 with worse financials, and tesla is out here selling more cybertrucks then all other ev trucks combined. Scaling their semi truck, launching cyber cab, it is just not even comparable. Lucid trying the tesla model but a decade late and funded by saudis not us investors. A lot harder to get behind especially when ev competition is already high and continually increasing. Also not even considering tesla megapack storage biz (10% of revenue prior quarter) and growing, or solar, battery production, fsd/autopilot, or tesla bot... the opportunity investing in tsla vs lucid is so obviously in favor of tesla, outside of gamblers on longshots, im not sure who investing in lucid is for.. maybe people whp think they missed the boat on tesla and want to get in at lower price on lucid.. but to be honest its clearly not even close to the same opportunity or quality of company

      they have been upfront about being a luxury electric car maker, and making other luxury ICE manufacturer as their competitor, but they're bleeding money in achieving their goal in a market share that are too minute to begin with. It's important to strive for ambitious goal, but more importantly to make money while you're getting there, which is what Tesla did. Doubt Lucid could achieve that without someone like Elon at the helm.

Having everything balanced and inline with the axle surely cuts down on NVH as well.

    That twin rear drive unit allows a very capable RWD sport/supercar like the Porsche 911 GT2RS, AMG GT Blackline, etc.
    Mate it to a battery that is not overly big and a light chassis and body, and total weight could get close to that GT2RS or Ferrari 12cilindri or Aston Martin Vanquish. Torque vectoring is very handy and the twin motor allows ~700 hp for a lot of time with higher peak bursts.

    Their paper is virtually worthless. If they ever start making money, the profits go to the Saudi princes. Anybody can make a great product if you throw heaps of cash at it. The secret is making a good product that people can afford. This is what put Detroit on the map 100 years ago, and what makes Tesla a world-beater, actually able to compete with the Chinese, even in China! My dirt cheap new model 3 went 10.9 seconds in a quarter mile at 125mph, and goes almost 4 mi on 1 kilowatt hour. And the price of the car was virtually pocket change.
