LMC's new vehicle platform to be seen August 3rd?
If you read the agreement between Foxconn and Fisker ([https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1720990/000119312521163828/d14073dex101.htm](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1720990/000119312521163828/d14073dex101.htm)) regarding the PEAR, it's not just about manufacturing, it's a partnership. Part of the partnership is the "Platform Sharing Agreement", much like Magna Steyr did for the Ocean, Foxconn is required to supply the EV platform.
It's likely that at the time of the agreement the idea was for Foxconn to build a plant in the US capable of building vehicles on the MIH platform that was created for the Model C. The MIH platform the Model C is built on uses a megacast chassis, and Fisker has said the PEAR platform has changed and will now be based on a steel frame chassis - like the Endurance.
Since LMC has partnered with Foxconn, via both the JV (MIH EV Design) and the direct $170M direct investment, the focus has been the creation of a MIH based 'new vehicle platform' - the $100M preferred share investment specifically earmarks the investment for that purpose.
Foxconn is required to provide Fisker a MIH EV platform to build the PEAR on and Foxconn is paying (investing in) LMC to create an new MIH EV platform. It seam logical that this new MIH EV platform LMC is creating is the platform that will be used for the PEAR.
Fisker has stated that they will be releasing other vehicles on the same platform the PEAR will use. Today during Fiskers ER they announced that on August 3rd, Fisker will reveal the PEAR (SUV), Ronin (sports car) and the Alaska (pickup).
This reminded me of Hydra Design Labs Facebook cover photo. Hydra Design Labs did initial design and clay modeling for both the Endurance and the Monarch tractor. And last year they updated their Facebook cover page showing three vehicles covered with black tarps, they appeared to be a sports car, a SUV and a Pickup.
Here's the pic -

I think it's very possible that there is a significant partnership between Foxconn, Fisker, LMC and Hydra , and if there is we should know about it on or before August 3rd.
Saving Grace,
RIDE is worthless and it is only a matter of time before the share price is $0.00. 37 cents per share today is REAL MONEY!!
Think about it - Tomcat
The Endurance is toast…and RIDE is on it’s way to toast.

I believe Lordstown Motors and Foxconn are gaslighting Wall Street short sellers.
These Job descriptions were just posted today and one on the 3rd
We will see a deal come together with Foxconn in my book as Lordstown Motors
is wasting no time getting people hired.
He needs to go to jail!
Stephen Burns got a total of 91 million dollars so far selling LMC stock. He seem to have made out better than anyone else here . And a free man deceiving people by the millions . The SEC still has not done a thing. What a shame .
I’m out also here with a small loss. I hope those who lost money here hopefully make it back with a better stock.
Stick a fork in 'em. They're done.
As of March 31, 2023, property, plant, and equipment was reviewed for potential impairment for recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of our asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. The Company determined that all our property, plant, and equipment represent one asset group which is the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available. As the carrying amount of our asset group exceeded its estimated undiscounted future cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized an impairment charge of $109.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 based on the difference between the carrying value of the fixed assets and their fair value as of March 31, 2023. No fixed asset impairment charges were recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The fair value was derived from the Company's enterprise value at the time of impairment as we believe it represents the most appropriate fair value of the asset group in accordance with accounting guidance. In particular, the Company’s ability to raise capital is currently severely limited due to the current market environment and Company-specific factors. Therefore, notwithstanding management’s plans and efforts to date, there continues to be substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to resolve our dispute with Foxconn in a timely manner on terms that allow us to continue operating as planned, identify other sources of funding, identify a strategic partner and resolve our significant contingent liabilities, we may need to further curtail or cease operations and seek protection by filing a voluntary petition for relief under the Bankruptcy Code. If this were to occur, significant additional impairments may result. Furthermore, the value available to our various stakeholders, including our creditors and stockholders, is uncertain and trading prices for our securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of our securities in bankruptcy proceedings, if any.
They're Gaslighting this to burn short sellers. Check this out from yesterday.
RC2 told me to buy low and sell high. Wonder if he has anymore information here.
I’m out.
That report today deflated any hope I had left.
Management screwed up the company and Foxconn added insult to injury.
Not sticking around for bankruptcy.
Too bad.
Then they’ll be just as transparent on their massive losses as RIDE.
RIDE needs to produce vehicles in order to have them serviced…or recalled.
I agree and Foxconn and Lordstown are playing the players.
This is where one watches the crowd and goes the other way.
Hopefully Steve burns buys it back and runs it right
Another recall. Nice. Wonder how many more coming
They have 170 million in cash.
What would a 50 million dollar share buyback from Lordstown accomplish?
1. Raise the share price to over $1.00
2. Make Lordstown motors NASDAQ compliant
3. Meet Foxconn conditions of being NASDAQ compliant so that 117 million from Foxconn would finalize by May 8.
4. Raise the share price significantly so that in light of a potential RS, substantial money could be harvested by Lordstown for future cash flow
5. It would put a major squeeze on all shorts and decimate them in the process.
6. Make Lordstown attractive to more institutional investors thus raising the share price even more.
Yes this is MHO!
dont they need $50m to do that?
LORDSTOWN COULD DO A 50 MILLION DOLLAR BUY BACK OF SHARES!
50 million USD buy back at current share price would be 128 million share buy back.
This would easily send the share price above $1.00 and they reap 117 million from Foxconn by May 7.
It may be a far reach but certainly not impossible.
Where did you find date of 1q release?
Thx
It’s all about timing in the stock market and who ever tells you otherwise they are lying.
This will be pumped up to a dollar soon without a RS.
0.25 was brought on by Goldman Sachs. Foxconn and lordstown will negotiate. This will continue to go North.
Hope you loaded the boat at 0.25 with the smart money!
Got ‘‘em by the short and curries. It’s just a mattering of waiting now for Foxconn.
Foxconn and Lordstown will negotiate.
https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/01/business/lordtown-foxconn-dispute/index.html
"In a statement Monday, Foxconn said, “We understand that Lordstown Motors is currently evaluating various courses of action as it pertains to their listing status with NASDAQ. In the meantime, we remain open to continuing our discussion and working together to reach a mutually acceptable outcome that benefits our respective stakeholders.”
We are just about there. We will be almost there when there is a retest of the recent bottom.
Leave it to RIDE “investors” to salve their wounds from a 27% drop.
Soared to 0.40 after Goldman hit their 0.25.
What do you know.
It’s time for the class action suit. Steven Burns should be reduced to ashes and frankly Hightower is almost as culpable with all of his flowery statements this past year with absolutely nothing to show for it.
LMAO! I guess I should have waited.
Looks like Goldman Sachs brought it down to its 0.25 target they spouted a week ago!
Todays announcement gave them the fuel they needed to do so.
Very depressing, to say the least.
Not good LMC did not meet the milestones per agreement is what I gather this mess .
You were saying?
BWAHAHAHA!!!!
Uh oh. Trouble in Foxconn Land.
Mom and Dad are fighting.
Not good.
More institutions buying today!
Go RIDE!
I got me a starter here @$.50 …. Let’s hope this turns around.
Almosthere, agree. I think the market also reacted positively to the news that production has resumed, even if at a low rate.
Thanks for posting this.
I like the fact that this partnership was developed not only to service the endurance, but other “future vehicles developed by Lordstown in collaboration with Foxconn ecosystem.”
Under the terms of the agreement, the two companies will jointly provide EV service and warranty for the Lordstown Endurance™ in key states allowed by law, as well as future vehicles developed by Lordstown in collaboration with the Foxconn EV ecosystem.

Saving I think you will be correct!
May5th 10Q willbe exciting while shorts get crushed.
Nu Ride's new five-person board is expected to appoint William Gallagher, managing director of M3 Partners — a transaction advisory firm in New York — as Nu Ride's president and CEO, according to the regulatory filing.
Gallagher faced a situation similar to Nu Ride as CEO at WMIH Corp., the public acquisition corporation that succeeded Washington Mutual Inc. — the parent of WaMu Bank in Seattle that was seized by federal thrift regulators in fall 2008. By January 2015, the shell company left over from the failure of Washington Mutual had raised close to $600 million to pursue acquisitions of financial companies that could benefit from its huge, tax-deductible losses, according to a report by the Seattle Times.
Gallagher took over as leader of WMIH in May 2015 "to oversee its acquisition strategy and manage its day-to-day affairs," according to M3 Partners.
He was responsible for "reviewing, vetting and analyzing a large number of potential target companies from a variety of different sectors and industry groups," M3 says.
"Ultimately, WMIH acquired Nationstar Mortgage Holdings to form Mr. Cooper Group," M3 says. Gallagher departed from WMIH after closing the Nationstar acquisition in July 2018.
Bill Gallagher has more than 35 years of experience in finance, investment and financial restructurings. He brings deep expertise in credit analysis and has long-term management experience in the financial services industry.
Prior to joining M3, Bill was the Chief Executive Officer at WMIH Corp (NASDAQ:WMIH), a public acquisition corporation which was the successor to Washington Mutual, Inc., from May 2015 to July 2018. Bill was recruited to WMIH to oversee its acquisition strategy and manage its day-to-day affairs. While there, he worked closely with WMIH’s strategic financial partner, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. At WMIH, Bill’s responsibilities included reviewing, vetting and analyzing a large number of potential target companies from a variety of different sectors and industry groups. Ultimately, WMIH acquired Nationstar Mortgage Holdings (NYSE symbol NSM) to form Mr. Cooper Group (NASDAQ:COOP). Bill departed from WMIH upon the closing of the acquisition of Nationstar as his job at WMIH was completed.
Prior to WMIH, Bill was CEO and Chief Risk Officer at Capmark Financial Group, formerly known as GMAC Commercial Mortgage (from March 2009 to May 2015). Bill was retained by Capmark to manage its financial restructuring following the global economic crisis and was responsible for the management of the company’s day-to-day affairs, the restructuring of both the company and its assets (including its $15 billion commercial loan portfolio), its bankruptcy process, and its winding down and distribution of assets to creditors and other stakeholders. Capmark was a highly successful restructuring as Bill and his colleagues significantly increased the recovery value to Capmark’s creditors.
Before joining Capmark, Bill was the Chief Credit Officer of RBS Greenwich Capital, the US fixed income investment banking business of the Royal Bank of Scotland, where he was responsible for all aspects of credit risk management. While at RBS Greenwich, Bill was responsible for a wide variety of US corporations and buy-side companies, including corporate borrowers and debt issuers, financial institutions, industrial companies with captive finance businesses, and a variety of US corporations who traded various securities with or through RBS Greenwich.
Earlier in his career, Bill was a Vice President at First Boston Corporation in that firm’s credit risk management department. At First Boston, Bill was responsible for managing credit risk to a wide variety of corporate issuers and financial institutions. Bill began his career at Chemical Bank, where he completed the bank’s credit training program and then worked as a loan officer in the middle market division and a credit officer in the financial institutions division.
Bill has a B.S. in business administration from Syracuse University and an MBA from New York University.
