$CCIV / LUCID MOTORS
DD Thread ⤵️
Starting with Sir Jony Ive, who was the Chief Design Officer at Apple Inc for over 20 years. (Connections to Apple are never a bad thing..)
Electric vehicle maker Lucid Motors Inc. is in talks to go public through a merger with one of Michael Klein’s special purpose acquisition companies - Churchill Capital IV, according to Bloomberg.
Lucid was founded in 2007 and originally focused on building electric vehicle batteries and powertrains for other vehicle manufacturers.
In October 2016, Lucid announced its intent to develop an all-electric, high-performance luxury vehicle - the air.
The investment will fund the final engineering and testing of the Lucid Air and the commercial production of the Lucid Air as well as Lucid's worldwide retail strategy.
AutoCar describes the Air is the 'fastest and most aerodynamic fully-electric sedan'.
A full charge takes 20 minutes, making the Air “The fastest-charging EV ever”.
Lucid is a battery expert and designed, developed, manufactured and supplied batteries for all race teams in the 2019–20 Formula E season.
There are five radar units and a long-range, forward-facing Lidar that maps the three-dimensional space ahead of the car. Lucid tech allows the air to have higher level autonomy than a Tesla.
Alexa will allowing drivers to use the voice assistant for navigation, phone calls, media streaming, smart home control, and other activities while driving.
Lucid will start producing up to 30,000 vehicles per year at the plant in 2021, with plans to ramp up capacity to 400,000 units annually

Should we go into the details of these 125 years?
SA is built on the exploitation of labour. That labour has functioned on alcohol unfortunately. Very few people consume liquor purely for enjoyment unfortunately. When SAB opened its doors 1895 workers were paid in alcohol- the dop/tot system. 2 years into SAB's establishment
The Prohibition Act is introduced. This means black people are barred from buying your wines, beer etc. So SAB's products are exclusively for white people. But during this period beer brewing by Black women is the norm. Ayinxilisi ncam ke this type of beer. Apparently it had some
Nutritious elements to it. Now some of the context around drinking culture during this time is migrant labour to the mines, further land dispossession, the Anglo-Boer Wars, Rhodes corruption (our first state capture commission if you will) which leads to his resignation.
This context plays a role in how our cities and small towns are constructed, how they lead to the confinement and surveillance yabantu. Traditional beer brewing is identified as a threat because buy now mining bosses have identified that there's money to be made here.
SAB has formed part of the fabric of SA for the last 125 years & we've stood behind the nation through its triumphs & challenges. After much consideration,SAB has decided to approach the Courts to challenge the Constitutionality of the decision taken to re-ban the sale of alcohol pic.twitter.com/40rWpJSW5b
