Flammable liquid in plastic bags..? How stupid can people get…?

Since you asked…

 

[Zero CO2]

Curious as I am bc I live about an hour from the Lucid factory, I pulled this up from Feb... robot videos can be deceiving. (I didn't see today's CNBC).

First, cars are not moving on the line, at all (hence 577 seems bullish). Next, I didn't see a single welding robot (needed to assemble the hundreds if smaller pieces together). Manually, this is very time-consuming and costly, despite the appearance of a volume factory. I think some robots were told to do something for the video, seeing them all spinning and doing nothing, lol. And where is stamping in the video? Are they rolling sheet metal by hand?

Then there's talk of Phase II and III when Phase I was suppose to be 1 car built every 10 min capacity. What?

CNBC got a first look inside Lucid Motors' new EV factory in Arizona.

Reuters is pretty bad when it comes to Tesla.

Ever since Reuters partnered with the Russian state information agency TASS it has been a sad sight to behold as it parrots Russian state propaganda dressed as news, and that includes anti-EV "news". A thread on twitter gives some background on this.

Dont mean to say that. After all the Model S at one time was probably at that rate. Thing is that at this point Lucid is not a competitor. It is a boutique car that in a couple years may be mass producing the Lucid Air and competing against the next generation Model S.

Lucid Air might be classified in the same segment as MS but we all know it will not be competing

Please do your maths, when you argue about these Chinese numbers. It's not 25K vs. 39K. Sales = 25,845, shipping 14174 equals as 40,019, or 40K hmmkay..?

He might be using computer-speak, in which K = 1024 (2^10 power).

Wow. That’s disturbing. They are a regular on my newsfeed and I’ve posted Reuters links here often. I’m depressed.

Like that chip shortage everyone keeps talking about. If Ford, GM, and Tesla can't get chips you have to know Lucid is way down the waiting list.

Lucid has already publicly stated chips are not a problem. They have them stock piled.

After falling into an early hole, they quickly starting pulling their way out of it, only to fall back in right before reaching the top. They never could get out, although they got close a couple times, and ended with another loss. They are now 3 games below 0.500 for the first time since 3/29, matching their season low. Attendance was on the high side today, about 50% higher than the average for the last 10.

After Virgin Galactic reported disastrous earnings which lead to a 20% drop AH, it managed to finish today(the day after earnings) green. If that's isn't technical trading I don't know what is.

Investors (more so Tesla owners) that live in areas of the US affected by fuel shortages owe it to themselves to put out the word on social media how they have no sense of panic. Investors that don't yet own one really need to buy one.

Renting a Bolt on Turo looks like $70 a day. Cheaper than catching on fire.

Depends, people might burn you with fire for getting out of a bolt.

Back in the old days Reuters had a reputation here in Europe at the same level as BBC. I'm thinking 1970-80s. Guess that has changed.

Aware of that. They are trying to do what Tesla did. Thats understood. Thing is when Tesla did it the other manufacturers didnt take Tesla seriously. In fact they really didnt take electric vehicles seriously. So Tesla just kept executing, sometimes with flaws, but the competition never really developed. Lucid will not have that opportunity. Not rooting against Lucid, but also dont think it will make a dent in Tesla sales and really be a small player in the EV market 5+ years from now.
