MixedShorts aggressively doubled down with 4.57M shares added net (approximately 80% of volume was short-related), dropping the stock 2.46% on no news. The speaker attributes this to possible PCE data reaction or unconfirmed insider information. Morningstar's fair value of $4.39 suggests meaningful upside, and Lucid's graphite supply agreement for battery supply chains shows forward planning. Options call consensus is above $4 next week while puts signal sub-$3 - a wide divergence reflecting high uncertainty.
