Thesis at the time
BullishLucid and Gravity Inc. reached an agreement on the trademark dispute, effectively giving the Gravity SUV 'free and clear' status to proceed. The speaker views this as very positive news that may have been the hidden reason reservations hadn't opened yet. With homologation crash tests expected in August, Gravity reservations could open as early as September or October, serving as its own distinct catalyst separate from delivery.
Key arguments
- Trademark dispute with Gravity Inc. is resolved — Gravity launch is unambiguously cleared to proceed
- Hidden obstacle likely explained why reservations hadn't opened despite the vehicle being ready
- Homologation testing in August means reservations could open September-October
- Gravity reservations opening would be a standalone catalyst — then production/delivery would be another
- Original 2021 forecast projected 12,000 Gravity deliveries in 2023 and 49,086 in 2025 — massive scale potential
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- Lucid failed to disclose this trademark dispute as a risk on previous earnings calls — transparency concern
- Delay is already ~1-2 years behind original forecast; 134,000 annual deliveries by 2026 seems highly unlikely
