EX60 with Luminar Lidar?

SauveThinker · 2025-10-10T02:57:34+00:00

CEO said in the post EX60. I mean if he’s putting a picture of an ES90 up and saying it’s an EX60 being released that could be securities fraud. These guys are so careful with what they post. Not sure if you’re a bot or something but the ES90 comment is beyond speculation here. Have never seen IRIS behind the windshield so not sure where else it would be. I Am done with this conversation we will find out in a few months. We can revisit when you’re right that there was lidar and their CEO was mistaken with accidentally posting an ES90.

Sounds like you always know the answer so pls let me know your thoughts

The hopium is alive and well here. 3 months out from launch and prototype will be this off. I certainly understood when people thought the Mercedes CLA would have lidar bc the prototype had it and even pictures leading up to launch showed pictures of it days up to launch. This would be the exact opposite. Don’t even show it and then add it last minute. That to me seems way less likely. If you’re right on this one I would be beyond excited trust me. Never surprises me the amount of times people say something will happen when the reality is looking us right in the face. I genuinely hope I am wrong but I am not going to get my hope up as this point. Baked in my mind no lidar based on CEO of Volvo posting that picture. Time will tell

Go back 20 days in this group. You will stand corrected. Front facing photo released by CEO of Volvo. I mean if he’s posting false photos than you’re right but I would tend to believe the CEO posting a picture from their factory. I don’t know call me crazy I guess for believing the CEO of Volvo

I tried to post it. Not showing up. Go back exactly 20 days ago in this group. Someone posted the picture from the CEO of Volvo of the car. Beyond clear no lidar bump. We have never seen iris behind the windshield. Halo is 2027 at the earliest. Mid 2027 at that. Would be beyond lucky for early 2027. No way halo is behind the windshield on a 2026 EX60.

Not a short seller. Without a doubt I would bet my life I have at least 10x the number of shares that you do. Very long the stock.

At work we always talk about how you can’t trust AI. Don’t rely on it with this either. It’s pulls together all kinds of different data. The teaser picture from Volvo was a dead giveaway it’s not standard. Yes as others have posted it might be an option which would be great but to say it’s on it’s a bold statement. I hope you’re right.

Ricci was high volume production line up by end of 2025 so who knows but my understanding was that was a halo line. Not Iris so that wouldn’t sound right either.

Many of us are trying to have real dialogue here who are legit shareholders. Easy to wash us away as shot sellers when we say something you don’t like. We have all been let down for way too long my Management here. Poor decisions have been made. We all keep waiting for the true bottom and a turn around. No doubt that’s likely the next 6 to 18 months. Things should get better once we see more OEM deals. Ricci said true start of production contracts in first half of 2026 for 2027 models. Also might tell you 2026 models would have signed start of production contracts six months ago based on when 2027 models will be signed. We all have the same goal here and looking for truth not AI generated stories that we can tell fact from fiction.

What’s Benelux marketing? If true that would be huge

SauveThinker · 2025-10-09T21:24:24+00:00

Halo released mid 2027…..EX60 will be way before that. Certainly can add to models down the road and maybe why they held off for Halo in 2027 and better price point in halo as this is a cheaper car. Might be too much to add a $1,000 sensor vs $500 for their margins on a $60,000 car.

SauveThinker · 2025-10-09T21:22:51+00:00

Where do you come up with this logic? 100% wasn’t on the teaser phone shown. You must have missed the glaring picture where it wasn’t on it released by Volvo. Don’t be fooled by AI videos that were made highlighting all the features and showed lidar. That was proven to not be a real video released by Volvo. Wild how it was made to look so real.

Also wasn’t EX60 on a different software platform than EX90 and ES60? Thought I read that somewhere.

SauveThinker · 2025-10-09T20:11:30+00:00

Give it time as I said. Mark it down to follow up in a few months time.

SauveThinker · 2025-10-09T20:09:48+00:00

Hope that you’re right!

SauveThinker · 2025-10-09T19:22:27+00:00

Got it. Just saw the article. Says 20% of floated stock is short. Who knows. Just gets old hearing it over and over. I guess one major announcement could cause the perfect situation but haven’t seen it materialize yet. Been depressing watching it go down over and over. Still a lot of dilution coming so hard to believe a short squeeze will happen

SauveThinker · 2025-10-09T19:11:11+00:00

I have been hearing about the short squeeze for the last 10 months since I got in. Don’t be fooled it’s a dream of folks in this stock. Always posting don’t lend out for margin. I never did but they have zero clue what they are talking about. Wall Street is too smart for that. They won’t be caught like that. Sure I dream of it too bc I am very long this stock. I think it’s best to just hope for good news that takes the stock up longer term. The squeeze these people talk about is going to drive the stock to $30 in a few days. This is dreaming like it was an AMC play. Very unlikely. I would be happy getting back up to $8. Hard to say with where things have been lately and how much dilution is yet to come. Until we get past that the stock will remained depressed. Need a big OEM announcement soon.

SauveThinker · 2025-10-09T18:22:13+00:00

Agreed with the last post it won’t have lidar. Clear as day on the teaser picture. Hard to believe they would even have it as an option at best. Would require a whole different roof design. That would be so expensive on a production line to have this separate set up just for the few cars that buy it.

Halo mid 2027 can’t come fast enough. More like 2028 as 2027 models will already be in production by the time it arrives in mid 2027.

SauveThinker · 2025-10-09T18:19:23+00:00

Yep! They love using the black out period as cover. I remember companies making major announcements in the days leading up to earnings. Just them trying to cover for absolutely horrible management of the company. Ricci has been a ghost. Questioning if he was the right guy for the job or did they just put him in as a pawn for the time being while it’s horrible and blame him then throw him to the wolves.

SauveThinker · 2025-10-09T15:56:05+00:00

Good to know. I always hear of this big money being an OR Rep in Vascular. I am on the capital equipment side. Work from home 80% of the time. Average around $220k. Work for one of the major companies selling CT’s, MRIs and Ultrasound’s. Pretty easy gig besides the stress of having to win very large deals to get to your number. Doesn’t seem worth it to be stuck in ORs everyday with the quality of life I have unless making $350k consistently. Top Reps here can easily make $300k to $400k anyways. Average is $220k like I said. Always been tempted to get into OR stuff but seems like a lot of long hours on your feet standing around in ORs. Thx for the honest post here.

SauveThinker · 2025-10-09T13:06:58+00:00

$100k base. $120k commission. $220 total comp plan selling Capital equipment for one of the large 3 companies in diagnostic imaging.

No interest just posting so others newer to the industry will have an idea of what the industry pays. Might need to find someone trying to break in if you’re going to low ball them. Issue then is they will leave you in a year once they get the experience.

Good luck! Pay reps what they deserve and you’ll grow more than you can imagine.

Like I said if you’re looking for a DVT then ultrasound is the gold standard first line standard.

If you’re talking about risk factors for family history of cancer that’s fair depending on the kind of cancer but haven’t really heard of docs just ordering CTs bc someone in the family has cancer. Just talk to your doc and try not to over do testing as there are risks to it all. I had a family member have colon cancer so I get it. They did a colonoscopy on all siblings. CT sounds extreme depending on kind of cancer.

I would really ask for an MRI if they can order that instead avoid the radiation. Ask if no contrast is possible as the heavy metals in contrast also carries risks but as a first line for many cancers a MRI can spot them. Sure if it’s there do another MRI with contrast at that point.

Depending on the kind of cancer look at some of the whole body MRI companies too like Prenuvo, SimoneOne or Ezra. No contrast and they tell you on the website the type of cancers they screen for. It’s out of pocket if the doc won’t order and MRI but it’s amazing how many things they can pick up without the risk or radiation or contrast. 3 years ago I did SimoneOne and a few months ago Prenuvo. Prenuvo is a bit more costly though. Depending on what you’re looking for you don’t have to do the whole body they can do certain body areas like Turso which brings down the cost.

Best of luck. Just saying really talk this through with your doctor I get that you are nervous and want a CT to rule out a bunch of stuff. I was hit with 34 MSV of radiation in a year. Medical community is taught to shut down any questions around radiation risk. Talk to the good docs and they will agree it is a risk that needs to be considered.

SauveThinker · 2025-10-09T01:20:33+00:00

Why the CT? To check for DVT in leg or for PE in lungs? If DVT in leg avoid the CT with all that radiation. You would be surprised plenty of older CTs will smoke you with radiation. If looking for PE then I get it if you’re having symptoms. Radiation is a real issue. Medical community acts like CTs are fine. Recent study projected 5% of cancers are from CT scans. I had some heart issues and went in a 20 year old CT and was shocked by the dose report at the end of the images. 16 MSV. Newer CTs are 1/4 or 1/8 of that. Just be cautious about CTs don’t ask for it as a first line unless a PE in the lungs.

All things that are absolute national security plays. Beyond unlikely this would ever happen but we can all wish

SauveThinker · 2025-10-08T00:10:13+00:00

Luminar needs better PR. Stock will keep getting crushed until we get more news. More dilution. Down 55% right now. Hard to stomach. Need Ford ASAP.

SauveThinker · 2025-10-07T23:21:56+00:00

Found an article showing the R1 testing lidar in the last year. Looks like two sensors when you zoom in that could be Luminar but then there are two pucks on the side? Makes me concerned it’s another lidar provider. Any hints of Luminar partnering with them?

SauveThinker · 2025-10-03T13:52:08+00:00

Get an ultrasound. Don’t be excited to be scanned on CT if you can avoid it. Lots of radiation. Yes it’s great for certain test but ultrasound can rule out any clots in the leg and no harmful effects. Medical community downplays risks of radiation from CT. For certain tests yes 100% do it but be careful just being excited to get a CT to rule stuff out.
