    I hope we see FSD in 10 years. If anyone followed Tesla's AI day, they should understand Tesla is trying to revolutionize the market. The future is in the AI, not the battery and fancy interiors.

    Agreed, AI is all about action. We need AI now. Not practice. It’s practice. It’s practice. Come on, it’s practice.

    Why do you keep ignoring the plaid?

    The Model S has a price range higher than the Lucid.

    What does it matter if its, not a luxury car if it is more expensive?

    Why are you so fixated on the highest number, boy this Lucid thing has really got you tesla fanboys shook.

    10 years is a long time when it comes to new tech and in 10 years everybody will have their own variation.

    In 10 years tech will have solved cramping. Less water = PB being a superstar just like less gas = good for the environment. It's all really simple actually.

    This kinda looks decent, but the mileage will probably suck. Waiting to see what the interior looks like. Also curious to see what the mileage ends up being on these. The Subaru variant is estimated around 220 or so miles, I think, which... meh -- maybe for daily driving around town it's ok. I'm not sure they could've come up with a more dorky name, though :

    What about the Plaid? Its a sports car, not a luxury vehicle. I honestly have no idea what you're trying to imply.

    You're missing the overall point. The Lucid offers nothing out there that doesn't exist already. Optimizing for range and comfort will only take you so far.

    What?

    How the hell is it a sports car its a 4 door sedan.

    Please explain your point that ignored all of the other Lucid models and the fact that they are cheaper than Teslas?

    Again why are focusing on that one priced model?

    PUBLISHED MON, DEC 6 2021 9:43 AM ESTUPDATED 3 HOURS AGO

    KEY POINTS
    • Lucid said it received a subpoena on Friday from the SEC "requesting the production of certain documents related to an investigation," according to a filing Monday morning.
    • Shares of Lucid were down by as much as 19.5% during trading Monday morning.
    • Lucid is the latest EV start-up to go public via a SPAC deal to be investigated by the SEC. Others have included Nikola Corp., Canoo and Lordstown Motors.

    The automaker said it received a subpoena on Friday from the SEC "requesting the production of certain documents related to an investigation," according to a filing Monday morning. Lucid said although there is "no assurance as to the scope or outcome of this matter, the investigation appears to concern the business combination" between the automaker and blank-check company Churchill Capital Corp. IV.

    Something to keep an eye on but if they have a good product they will still be able to get investor support.

    SEC is going after everybody all of a sudden. They're even investigating Tesla and whistleblower claims about their defective solar panels. ;)

    So you think sucking his **** raises stock prices?

    Or are you talking about the money he leaves on the nightstand?
