Actually I think they’re overlaying Tesla with Restoration Hardware. Brilliant shortcut

Lucid CEO Says Tesla Isn't Their Main Competitor — Mercedes-Benz Is
At least we know we can expect Lucid to be a dishonest company from the word go.

I would pray that is one of their first differentiating factors lmao!

He was an Engineer designing the Model S, is the CEO of an electric vehicle start up, plants his stores next to Tesla, then goes on record saying Tesla is not their main competitor. Why are the stores not next to MB stores?I would pray that is one of their first differentiating factors lmao!
Even if I liked a Lucid, this behavior alone has removed them as an option for me.

He made this very clear that Lucid competes with luxury brands. If you look at their investor deck, they even put Tesla as "innovative, but not luxury." I am an avid fan of Tesla, but barring the new MS/X which hadn't arrived at the time of that deck, I would have to agree. They are going after BMW, MB, and Audi. Now I believe that Lucid and Tesla compete on only one thing: headlines/bragging rights. That's why when that Tri Motor Air arrives, or the same model of the Lucid Gravity, it is a very safe bet that Tesla will SW boost the Plaid to new levels.
Regarding Rawlinson, I actually really like the guy! The UK accent is always cool, and he is very articulate and has a clear vision for Lucid's products. Remember, this company will make Tesla better, which I am sure all on this thread would appreciate. Even though they aren't in the same segment, people will cross shop them regardless. Plus this kind of rivalry is normal. It's not like Ford and GM dealerships are exclusively placed far away from each other, or the same with BMW and MB. Both Tesla and Lucid are tech companies, so I think it kinda makes sense to position themselves in that regard close to Tesla.

If they are going after luxury brands, they should be planting their stores next to said luxury brands. They are targeting the Tesla customer base, because those customers have already adopted EV's.
And then there is their VP of development, Derek Jenkins, who spent nine years as the chief designer for Volkswagen North America. VW is not exactly the gold standard for business ethics.
Let's allow Lucid to deliver a few cars before we start talking about who they are as a company. Right now, they are a company who aspires to many things...and trust me...their leadership (and investors) hope and pray every night about becoming a viable competitor to Tesla.
Not sure either. Ordered same time. Only difference I’m black ext. My window starts Tuesday but without a VIN not sure it means much.

My EDD got pushed back a month after I made that stupid fake news Friday delivery comment.
Right back where you started.
I agree actually. I don’t see Lucid Air appealing to most anyone who’s focused on the current Tesla line-up.

Not to be argumentative, but I am interested in the Lucid Air and the EQS. I ordered the Model S because there were no other electric large sedans.
However, I’m doubtful that the Lucid or Mercedes will offer
fart sounds when I honk the horn. Okay, I’m back firmly in the Tesla camp. You were right @impastu .

fart sounds when I honk the horn. Okay, I’m back firmly in the Tesla camp. You were right @impastu .I invested fairly heavily in Lucid. I hope they achieve their goals. But to suggest Tesla isn't a competitor is nothing more than ego and past history rearing its ugly head.Not to be argumentative, but I am interested in the Lucid Air and the EQS.

I spoke with a SA last week and she said my LR, black cream interior will definitely be this year, few days later my EDD appeared Feb-March. Makes me wonder if they just bs us to get to the next caller.
Though Feb-Mar is far off, at least it will be a 22 year model.
Anyone heard rumors of 2022 year changes to the MS?
Join this thread to discuss 2022. In short nothing is known other than 2021s still coming off the line.

They make changes when changes are ready, they don’t make changes because it’s a model year
