“I think even in the videos leading up to today, I was saying that they're going to be probably within that 16 to 18, and that's probably where they will land. Most likely, they'll probably be able to do about 5,500, I would assume”@ 66:42 · open at this moment on YouTube ↗
Thesis at the time
MixedLive earnings coverage shows Lucid guided 18,000 total 2025 production (lower end of prior 18–20k range). With 9,966 units through Q3, they need ~8,000+ in Q4 — a record by a wide margin. The speaker sees this as nearly impossible in a slowing environment. However, the stock moves up every time Nvidia is mentioned. Dilution is expected within a month given $1.6B cash and $1.1B quarterly operations burn.
Key arguments
- Need ~8,000+ units in Q4 to hit 18,000 target — nearly double any prior quarter record
- Cash at $3B (+ $1.2B credit), burning ~$1.1B/quarter from operations, dilution expected within a month
- Nvidia partnership is the dominant market catalyst — stock visibly moved up each time analyst mentioned it
- Eric Bach fired — another OG gone; continuing pattern of executive churn
- Management skipped two key retail questions: bankruptcy probability and executive comp justification
- Supply chain crises: magnets, aluminum, chips — all three hit in 2025
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- DDTL raised to $2B extends runway into first half 2027
- Mark showed more natural, transparent communication style vs prior CEOs
- Gravity becoming majority of Q4 production is structurally positive for ASP
