BearishMark Winteroff acknowledged in a podcast that the Gravity ramp is slower than expected due to supply chain issues, tariffs, and rare earth disputes. The speaker draws parallels to 2023 when Lucid cut guidance twice and anticipates a cut from 20,000 to ~12,000 at August 5th earnings, which would be received very negatively by the market.
