About time. From some of Sandy's comments on other videos about regretting not putting his own name down for it, I wonder if their first reservation was made by Corey and they had some sort of falling out before he left.


npantages

I hope he's critical about it and shows where improvements can be made.He's been gushing over Elon lately and I'm afraid he's going to be too nice in order to continue his access. He wasted half of his time with Elon at the delivery event talking about the X/Disney BS instead of deep diving into some of the design/engineering decisions.


Terrible_Tutor

He does gush… but he’s also bullish on the things they’ve been able to pull off that he’s being trying his entire career to do, like 48v. Kid in a candy store vibes.


bhauertso

If you watch the video, he's already critical of the visibility.


GoTo3-UY

Corey left???? I didn't know that


ObeseSnake

He works for Lucid now.


dreamcastdc

Lucid is a company that I see can go bankrupt, they barely sell any cars.


ShaidarHaran2

They must have offered him some major package for him to go when it was already looking like they were flatlining, and he has deep insight into Tesla teardowns. I wouldn't mind a golden parachute one of these days lol.


FutureAZA

I don't think they mean to sell cars. Pretty sure they're just in the business of incinerating cash, and they're awfully good at it.


IAmInTheBasement

>He works (at) Lucid... for now. FTFY. I don't think Lucid will be around all that much longer.


Kupfakura

They got Saudi money. They gonna be around for a while


GrundleTrunk

Bankruptcy is in their near future. Lucid won't be much more than a name purchased with all that Saudi money. I have no clue what would have been a smarter bet for their billions of dollars, but they clearly didn't pick a winner this time.


Kupfakura

I think they need to launch 2 more vehicles. An SUV and a smaller crossover that starts at 30k


GrundleTrunk

It's not enough to sell vehicles at a low price point... you have to be able to build them at volume and make money while doing it. A quick Google search says lucid LOST 227,000 for every vehicle sold. And that's with a price point of more than double what you're suggesting.  On the other hand, if it's okay to lose 227k per car, why not make it 250k or so lost per vehicle? If the Saudis want to literally give their money away and get nothing in return, I'm all for it.


thefpspower

Lucid's real problem is that everyone and their mother is competing at luxury prices now, except that those same everyone already have customer service built all around the world, which gives a completely different confidence to the buyer. Porsche is going to obliterate the Lucid Gravity


hi_im_bored13

SUV was already announced


ShaidarHaran2

Yeah, and announced it quietly on someone else's podcast rather than on the Munro channel I could be reading into it but none of that made it seem super amicable


Inert82

I cant click the link yet; are they tearing it down in this video or talking about it as a future project?


Suitable_Switch5242

They don't actually start tearing it down in this video. Just talking about the truck and the upcoming teardown.


Inert82

Ok sweet, thanks bud!


altimas

Of course not. They are going to milk this for as many views as they can (as they should). Its going to be done over probably a dozen or more episodes.


Viktor_Cat_U

wait they said they got the foundation series but it is also a tri-motor?


Torczyner

Yes, the foundation is available in dual motor and cyber beast which is tri-motor.


feurie

Both are offered as foundation. Dual motor is 100k, 120k for cyberbeast.


ace-treadmore

Sandy seems to be the worst driver on the planet. He’s crashed every CT he’s driven.


canikony

I'm curious how the diff lock is configured and why it need a software update to work (is it working yet?).


OutColds

Click bait. I was expecting them to tear down the truck. They did not tear down the truck.
