No. $79,900 or a 60% price increase would make me walk away. I reserved the Dual Motor CT because at $49,900 it was a great value for an EV.
If it is more, that increase needs to be explainable.
It doesn't make sense that at $79,900 it will be approximately $25,000 more than a dual motor...
I drive for Mecum Auctions and what I have noticed watching this activity is sometimes the first production VIN goes to well-heeled insiders of the brand and/or is auctioned off with proceeds going to charity.
If this CT is in that category, that amount of money is not out of line with what I...
I finally got X/Twitter instead of relying on second hand news a month or so ago. As mentioned above, the Cybertruck account is now available to follow which I did.

Nah, GM has got them beat. More and heavier is better!! Check out these numbers:
Hummer EV battery pack:

Wow! Some observations:
1) When the CT is stopped, I noticed a red Ford truck just a half car length behind it in the lane next to it
2) The extent of the Cybertruck's instant acceleration is muted in the video by the fact that the videographer is following it in a Tesla
3) At 0:45 we see the...
I wonder what the time frame is for when it will be at the Space Coast.
I'd definitely make a trip over there on the weekend if it's going to be accessible.
Alternatively it would be nice for it to make a visit to a Tesla delivery / service center in the Orlando area.
Again, I know how it works, and again It looks bad.
The comparisons I drew were to illustrate that point based on what was happening in the company and the market at the time the shares were sold.
The share price peaked in Q4 2021 and halved from roughly $40 to $20 and the delivery estimates...
The CEO pay is not confusing to me, and I still feel it is insane in this instance. Optically, it looks bad timing-wise.
Also, Lucid to Tesla is not a good comparison IMO. Tesla is now an established leader in EVs, with healthy and growing manufacturing volume.
They produced 1.37 million...
Good luck to Cory. Although, this factoid prevents me from looking at the brand seriously and certainly investing in their stock.
"Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson's compensation for 2022 was higher than any other car company's CEO, according to this year's Automotive News CEO Compensation Survey.

I agree. Looks very tight.
Also, this looks like the same one posted in the other "Master Candidate" thread. Note the different colored recovery hooks.
