Can you give me a guess estimate of number people who would like to test drive a Lucid Air, as of today.Just deliver the car already. What are scared of?
yes. I’ve been waiting as well. Back in June, my sales rep sent me this:They don't agive any timeline there. All I was told a few weeks ago is that test drives will begin by the end of the year.
FYI, if this is something!Can you give me a guess estimate of number people who would like to test drive a Lucid Air, as of today.
If you can, I can give you a valid answer.
if can't, you don't know what you are talking about, I am sorry to say.
Over 13,000 registered owners, most of them want to test drive.yes. I’ve been waiting as well. Back in June, my sales rep sent me this:
”Release Candidates are our last batch of vehicles before production, RC's will be used as our test drive fleet which will tour the country. I will reach out directly when test drives are available.”
when I emailed gat the beginning of this month asking about a text drive, I received this:
”We are aiming to start test drives by the end of the year.”
When he called asking if I wanted to upgrade, I asked again about test drives and the San Diego studio opening. He just reiterated both before the end of the year. So….. I’m guessing it will be Christmas before I actually get to drive one. Just hoping they have one before they tell me I have to finalize the purchase.
Nobody Knows for sure !!FYI, if this is something!

Does your friend has a reference for sure ?His friend is in Cali so let's see.
I have asked so will see.Does your friend has a reference for sure ?
Every one is guessing. Some to extreme and some more realistic.Last week two posts showed up on Reddit, one poster claiming on October 13 he was scheduled to take delivery on October 14, and the other claiming a friend had delivery scheduled for October 28. I called my Delivery Advisor to ask why I had heard nothing about a delivery date, as I was told I was very early in the queue. She told me that the posts were either confused or bogus, because no VINs had been issued to customers nor had any deliveries been scheduled.
It's good to keep a few grains of salt on hand when using the internet as a source of delivery information. There are so many short sellers and others with nefarious intent that I wouldn't be surprised to see people trying to get buzz going about imminent deliveries so that they can then trash Lucid when those phantom deadlines aren't met.
The only thing that worries me about where we are now is that Rawlinson himself publicly committed on September 28 that some customers would get delivery in late October. Unless the cars are delivered in or near Casa Grande, there is simply not enough shipping time left to get cars to more remote customers this month, especially as no customers are publicly reporting receipt of a VIN or delivery date. Maybe a delivery event to a few customers near the factory would technically fulfill the promise Rawlinson made (I say as I reach for my box of salt), but it smacks too much of one of Musk's shenanigans.
With 5-8 cars per day being produced, those cars would have filled up the parking lot in Casa Grande or they must have been transported somewhere. No one has reported seeing dozens of cars there and I don’t think the factory could hold 100 finished cars inside. Those Dreams either went to service centers for delivery or to Newark. If they are sitting inside service centers, they absolutely could be delivered this month. I will reiterate that IMHO, I believe there is a news embargo for customers who will be among the October deliveries and that they have received their VINs and delivery date but are under a legal requirement not to say anything publicly. There will be some announcement, photos, etc. on the day they are delivered In the next 12 days.If the factory has been building the cars for a few weeks why the delay of either delivery close by or having transportation that should of been set up weeks ago? Especially since you have made a recorded promise to deliver by the end of the month. This affects perception and of course stock price. I agree with hmp10 you don’t want to take this PR page from Musk.
Have you ever tried to book a wedding, or an appointment with an attorney or at a big company? They are all booked up for weeks. So is the truck or railroad transportation.If the factory has been building the cars for a few weeks why the delay of either delivery close by or having transportation that should of been set up weeks ago? Especially since you have made a recorded promise to deliver by the end of the month. This affects perception and of course stock price.

I agree. Rawlinson seems to be someone who wants to under promise and over deliver. He would not have made a statement of deliveries in October unlikes he was ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE it would happen.I have no question in my mind that Peter Rawlinson WILL deliver as he promised, no later than the midnight of Oct 31st.
You must have been a fly on the wall when they were planning the Delivery of their Dream cars.With 5-8 cars per day being produced, those cars would have filled up the parking lot in Casa Grande or they must have been transported somewhere. No one has reported seeing dozens of cars there and I don’t think the factory could hold 100 finished cars inside. Those Dreams either went to service centers for delivery or to Newark.

Out of curiosity, has anyone seen transport trucks leaving Casa Grande or arriving at any Lucid facility?
