Analysts are targeting $26 for the run up mostly on the self-driving capability release.

Still not posting a proft.
 
yeah, LCID is burning cash and following a similar path that RIVN did after IPO. I'm a prospector of LCID under $10. I'll get a handful of shares and ride it out.

one of them might 300x like tsla did. my dozen-ish shares could be worth something meaningful :D
 
Do you think LCID will make it long term? I even have my doubts about RIVN, despite doing better ATM. I think both of them could be bought by someone bigger. I just can't see them making it on their own. Periodic cash investment infusions/bailouts can't go on forever.
 
I think they are making the right moves partnering up with the likes of VW (Scout is doing the same) to leverage the economies of scale and share tech.

I haven't seen a single lucid on the road (I have at the race track i visit, LimeRock), but I do see several Rvian's around town daily. They are making a mark and starting to become more available. People seeing it makes people want it too.

bad pic but it's there on the right at limerock, may 2025 Trans Am race. They had a booth.

I Also think Rivian has the aftermarket potential that could make it as mod-friendly as the Wrangler platform.

Tailgating, camping, etc, it's a good platform to base off of for overlanding and going places.

Two no go's with Rivian are the headlights and being dead last at the bottom of CR's reliability report alongside Stellantis brands, and Lucid. At least the latter has good looking cars, although a bit expensive.
 
Yeah, the reliability is a thing. people still buy Jeeps every day. It's not a driving factor when you 'want' something. Odds are, if you're buying a 100k car, you probably have a second mode of transport too, a motorcyle, beater pickup, toy car, etc to drive while it's in the shop.
 
Rivn stock has dropped a good 25% since December highs.
They had a good earnings report and recovered some of that drop after hours today

Good opening this morning. But will it last? Report and outlook was very optimistic. Proof will be in results going forward. They will first deliver the higher more expensive R2 trims. This is not what most potential buyers are looking for IMHO.
 
Beat expectations but still lost 50 cents a share. It's normal for this phase of a company, but still is bleeding money.

Tesla did the same thing - create the high end first, add in the cheaper after the 'want' was there.

We are in different times now, with so many other EV choices now. The R1 gen got the early Rivian adopters, and most loyal. Next they need to appeal to the more value conscious segment. And not sure if the R2 will do it, given more competitive choices are also getting better and better.

I think about Subaru. I have the 2023 Solterra, and other than fast charging, it is great vehicle incl for off-road, at least for the type most people do. Now with the 2026 model, fast charging has been solved. And we also have the Trailseeker coming, which I think is even a better vehicle in all respects. When I compare these Subaru offerings to Rivian, no question in my mind which I would choose. Unlike Rivian, Subaru/Toyota also have a good reputation for reliability.

Most would probably disagree with my comparison of Subaru vs Rivian. However, I think the R2 gen potential buyers will be the same as the Subaru ones. That was not true with the R1.

It appears the Slate truck will be the first-ever EV to include the least-expensive version in their initial offerings.
