Gravity Delivery Discussion

[LuvLucy]

If they chose to take a few months to delay the gravity so it would hold 220 halfway though a charge on a Tesla v3 supercharger, with plug and charge, I think it was a brilliant move. This looks like the best charging vehicle on superchargers right now and even more area under the curve at 1000V.

Ah ok I see, the pure has a lot of incentives!

I did not get a pure.

Did we finally get the answer to what caused production start up delays in the Gravity?

Beginning around time mark 1:10:00 in the OOS "Gravity Powertrain" video, Emad Dlala says Gravity engineering was completed and the car released to production when Tesla opened up the Supercharger network. This caused the engineers to go back to the drawing board to develop a new boost converter and different drive unit capacitor to facilitate Supercharger use, an effort that took "a couple of months".

And, at around 1:13:45, he specifically notes that, to implement this new design, "you're dealing with certain components that we never sourced." This could explain why they were able to do a limited production run by late December, but nothing further for a few months.

Not sure where this group wants this submitted, so I will do it here. I canceled my order today so you can remove me from this group and from the reservation tracker.

Click your heels three times and say, "There is no place like home." Sounds like a big three auto purchaser. Peace.

Folks, it was an April fools joke, apologies my due diligence didn’t picture a web designer with too much time on their hands at 6am…

Wait, @037 you made a mistake and posted it online?
I thought you didn't make mistakes and only pissed on people who do!

Gravities

So the big question: Is it

• Gravitys OR
• Gravities

put down the internet and anticipation, and go for a drive or have a cup of tea.

Regarding TEA... when I started with EVs, the fast charging was CHAdeMO:
CHAdeMO is a fast-charging system for electric vehicles, developed by the CHAdeMO Association, which includes Tokyo Electric Power Company and several major Japanese automakers. The name is derived from the Japanese phrase "o CHA deMO ikaga desuka," meaning "How about a cup of tea?"—a nod to the time it takes to charge a car

So the name was not chosen by the marketing department, then. Good to know. I always wondered about that name ...

A bit if trivia: I actually have a CHAdeMO to NACS adapter. I guess I should keep it in the Gravity for the one time the CHAdeMO charger is the only one available!

Just Gravity

Just Gravity

@TakeDuo got two AIRS and @californiaboy935 has three!
Inquiring minds want to know!

Even @hmp10 with two Gravity, it will still be Gravity.

I think that even though @californiaboy935 has three Airs in his garage, only two of them are his.

Even @hmp10 with two Gravity, it will still be Gravity.

More than one Gravity should be Gravitys or Gravities. You wouldn't have two Air in your garage.

 

[segbrk]

You wouldn't have two Air in your garage.

You mean a Pair of Air?

Lucids Gravity, surely? (like attorneys general)

 

[flarbear]

You can never have enough Gravity to count, you will always need moar Gravity!

I’m not sure I agree with this. If I was lucky enough to have two Chevy Camaros in my garage, I’m almost positive I wouldn’t say I have two Camaro.

I'd definitely say two Mustangs.

Gravitas?

Guys, it's literally gravities. It's a real word, lol.

Earth has a gravity. Mars has it's own gravity. If we were to discuss both at the same time, we'd be discussing those planets' gravities.

It's in the dictionary, lol.
