What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBenzinga reports Lucid's third-quarter deliveries topped production as it cuts output to clear inventory under its reset plan.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLola Cruz is live at a car lot.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentHank, I'm at a dealership with a lot of shiny sedans and one very confident seagull. Per Benzinga, Lucid sold more cars than it built.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThat's the plan. Build fewer, clear the lot, and preserve cash. Benzinga's angle is that it signals execution challenges and cash burn concerns.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentSir, you're shopping here. Does a car company building fewer cars worry you? Sir, stop walking. I covered wars.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentI will follow you to your car.
Marty PellegrinoMa'am, I'm only here for the free coffee. Honestly, building less than you sell sounds like my diet. It's working about as well.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThank you, Lola. Please do not chase the customer into traffic. Nobody has confirmed what happens to the seagull. Back to the futures.
