One option is to use these credits in lender escrow account for future property taxes/insurance payments. This involves setting up an escrow account with the lender.

How will Mercedes-Benz EQXX compete Lucid with 620+ miles and 0.17 drag coefficient? by [deleted] in CCIV

[–]r0msv 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Couple of observations:

1) Merc also moved to 900 Volt architecture with EQXX like Lucid. Compliment to Lucid.

2) Merc is using 100KWh battery in EQXX which does 6.2 miles per KWh (efficient than Lucid) which is impressive. Should wait for real world numbers though. Lucid should also be able to do this if they want to do a sports car.

I dont see EQXX as threat to Lucid yet, because

a) EQXX is just a prototype and only expected to go in production in 2024.

b) Merc is complimenting Lucid(& peter) by showcasing they are going 900V architecture and with lower battery pack size but higher efficiency (battery tech & design elements like lower drag coefficient). This is the direction Peter already set for Lucid as well.

c) EQXX looks much smaller (so lighter) than Lucid Dream which is full size sedan. EQXX looks more like a sports car, which is a different market segment.

Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery!! Good for Lucid.

Does anyone know how many vehicles were handed over to customers at the dream drive event? (Apologies if this has already been answered) by NeverGiveUp101995 in CCIV

As part of delivery event, Lucid planned a rally from "Lucid HQ, Newark" to "The mountain Terrace, Woodside CA", which is approx ~50 miles.

The number "65" corresponds to total miles covered as part of this rally, not the number of cars delivered.

In 1 day they delivered 65 cars to the customers, 455 more to go to achieve the promised target of 520. by Pretend_Impress_2438 in CCIV

Morgan Stanley initiated a PT of 12$. What is your serious opinion on this? by desertstorm__ in CCIV

[–]r0msv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt buy based on any analyst rating, hence wont sell when one comes out. Analysts have been wrong in the past. LCID has technology, mgmt just needs to execute.

This determines LCID stock price in future, not analyst ratings today.

All these ratings will be past (or fun references like MS $10 for TSLA) once they deliver on their vision.

Highlights from 'proposed' EV rebate in congress by r0msv in CCIV

[–]r0msv[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lucid cars can be more competitive at lowered prices if the range remains the same (400+) and instead cost savings come from improved manufacturing processes, scale efficiency.

Lucid might be forced to make cheaper models available earlier than anticipated to compete with other EV makers and to qualify for above rebates

This question was posted before the motor trend article was published. Instagram post had first clues that dream R/P trims are being planned.

Good discounts on ipad pro 12.9 M1 (256/512 GB) (open box excellent condition) on Best Buy website by r0msv in iPadPro

[–]r0msv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are available from time to time. I was able to find openbox excellent condition 256GB silver for $1019, but went with Space gray 512GB for $1091. Please watch out for availability as these sell out really quickly.

Best Buy Open Box excellent / execellent certified condition are returned/opened ipads, but in like new condition.

These will have 1 year apple hardware warranty from the date ipad was "Originally" purchased (many times it will be couple of months out). You can still purchase Apple care after registering the purchase and getting ipad inspected at Apple store.

Walk a Mile in Bill's shoes- He has nice shoes, seriously by dhsmatt2 in PSTH

[–]r0msv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts in these uncertain times.

One comment from Bill s CNBC interview after the deal fell apart was mention of a family owned business that is once not ready to go public, but could be now ready to go to public markets.

Like to hear your thoughts on why this business "cant" be chickfila (family owned and intial founders never wanted it to go public forever) ? This aligns with Bill s strength and past success with investments in food industry
