    They’ve had these cars for over 4 years still no car and more delays but all of a sudden they are better than Tesla. BS

    At most Tesla had a qualified model before going public. These fraud companies now don’t even have a working prototype let alone qualified vehicle for sale. Hopefully no one buys the stock. This dude is just like Trevor Milton.

    Lucid reminds me of the DeLorean. Nice design but was never commercially viable.

    Second half of the year sounds not too bad. If you’re producing a luxury car to compete with the Porsche Taycan or Mercedes EQ, then you better get your quality right. Those brands have been around for a while and they know how to make luxury products. If Lucid’s motors are genuine and have been independently assessed and are replicable then it’s not a scam. Smoothing out quality issues is quite desirable.

    Peter Rowlinson sounds like “J.A.R.V.I.S” father.

    This man is flauting the Saudis backing. The Saudis are begging the Qataris to provide funding for oil field investment. And i ask, “What is actually going on at Lucid”

    Car companies should stop becoming public before they release any product.

    • BlueToad

      February 24, 2021 at 12:10 pm

      Yes, that would make them look a lot more serious and let’s likely to be a scam

    He wants to mass produce EV power trains like no other company has? Errr….Tesla?

    I’m not at all surprised to see them delay the start of deliveries, in fact I expect them not to deliver this year at all and Peter Rawlins will probably not be CEO this time next year. Lucid have an expensive collection of prototypes right now. That’s all they have. They are selling stock. They compete with neither Mercedes nor Tesla.

    You can clearly see that he is not in “charge” of this structure. That said, I cant trust this anymore.

    Peter Rawlinsin: Our product competes with Mercedes Benz, our tech competes with Tesla.
    If this is proven to be correct then Lucids future should be a bright one

    LUCID motors is FRADULANT, only $4.5M in cash with a $8.5 M cash burn over few years.
    LUCID won’t be PROFITABLE till 2025.!!!!

    This guy is the biggest sellout ever. He basically handed over control of his company to the financial guys. Screwed the whole EV movement in the process. He should be prosecuted.

    Clearly they are delaying production to add Peter Rawlinson’s voice as an alternative option to Siri.

    may just be the news but seems like investing in SPAC merged companies is not really buying the company but the managers behind the SPAC.
