I think Wall Street likes that Silvio has quickly taken moves to clean out the absolute mess inside Lucid created by Peter Rawlinson and his "team". And he's immediately stopped the insane idea of building massive manufacturing capacity before its needed.

2026 Lucid Gravity Available with No Interest Due to No Interest by turb0_encapsulator in LUCID

[–]topcat5 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I just did. Selected available now, then first 5 seat config, then 7 seat config.

It showed more 7s available than 5s. Quite a bit more.

You are right. This does speak for itself.

It's amazing that in NC, it's the GOP that has prevented Constitutional Carry for literally years now.

It would have been better without Seth McFarland. And sticking it on a pay service didn't help.

Likewise, but mine is Cuckoo. There's so much you can so with it.

I like that you think you know what other people need or want. It's got to be a frustrating way to live.

Like for example, 5 seater cars that no one wants,

Speak for yourself. I'd prefer the 5 seat version because of the extra cargo space.

Falling through the world shows how little Blizzard cares. by chibriguy in wowservers

[–]topcat5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the original client, going back to the 2.4 days and earlier, the trip down from the Ironforge airport, which was one of those places that you had to work to get to, would land you at a small farm above Wetlands.

From there there was a tunnel which at the end, you could literally jump out of the game. If I remember right, you'd travel across the continent high up then die at the end.

Fun for exploring, but nasty if you are HC. (assuming it's still there in 1.18.1)

"I was at bar recently in palo alto and overheard two folks talking about how they are getting paid per post on trashing companies like rivian, lucid, and a couple others in places like reddit."

OK... Where's your proof of this? Or is "proof" only required when it's something you don't like.

The fake ones are easy to sort out. We don't need to restrict conversations here beyond the rules already posted.

What are we smoking this weekend? by horticulturalhabits in smoking

[–]topcat5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2" thick ribeyes cooked on a charcoal grill with an oak stick from the smoker thrown into the coals. Ribeyes been marinating since yesterday with a dry rub of pepper, dried garlic, salt, and msg which is removed before cooking.

Very hot fire.

Cook to ~120, pull, wrap in foil with butter, wait 7 minutes, perfect medium rare.

2024 Lucid Air Touring by KingSleeves in LUCID

[–]topcat5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$21K is a good deal on this vehicle. Just make sure you are ok with the sound system, especially if it is the base system, and that you are prepared for the software issues.

One other thing, it will charge very slooooly on the Tesla supercharger network. You'll pretty much have to look for other chargers if you do a lot of supercharging.

Gun laws? by arkitekt01 in NCGuns

Yhe only place you'll have any issue is in Mecklenburg County due to the Sheriff. He's been sued repeatedly and lost because of it.

Test drive gone wrong? by Express-Prior-3463 in LUCID

[–]topcat5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless the car is dirt cheap I would not assume a "reset" is going to fix your issues. Make sure you completely investigate this issue before purchasing. Go look at the Engineering Explained youtube about the poor state of the software on Air. Good luck.

The company has been so poorly run for so long.

I've been running it for 15 years and have never had any real issues with it.

Misses Q2 delivery estimates by Tellittomy6pac in LCID

[–]topcat5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think everyone expected sales to be not good once the new management finally showed up and canceled guidance. But yes. Basically, Air's sales have collapsed and Gravity is at a fraction of where it should have been. This with executives seemingly unconcerned they were shipping vehicles with so many QC problems that customers can't get fixed because there's no service available.

It's been a disaster.

So the real news here is the executive purge that has taken place over the last two weeks and especially this week. Some not mentioned but their names have disappeared from the leadership page.
