Ojai interior shots

[NoseyReporter]

AG with Ojai gives an "earthy" vibe. The AG paint has an underlying brown/bronze earthy color to it. It is why I find it looks so stunning in the photos from the Redwoods. That brown/bronze is carried into the Ojai color, at least to me. It has the nature vibe, and has the implication of being at one with nature.

No one has mentioned it yet, but the part that bothers me is the white piping. Its all over the seat, and on the dash. Obviously the intent is to accent, but I would have much more appreciated piping that match the color of the world "LUCID" on the below the headrest. The white accent is too loud for this combo. However, if you specifically look at the photo with the LUCID logo and headrest, the piping color does not appear to be white. In that instance, it looks more tan.

Something is up with the wider interior photo. Me think the white color balance is off in this photo by ALOT. A little too much post processing here, and uncalibrated monitor there, and suddenly everything does not look like what it seems. Don't let this sway or decide your color combination choices. Visit the studio and decide in person.

Tahoe photos in a dark garage and one outside.

The Tahoe seems to vary considerably depending on the light. I assume the five shots you took were with the same camera. But look at the difference between your fourth and fifth photo and how much oranger the seats appear in the firth. That's closer to the color I remember from seeing the Tahoe in person.

I'm within a fairly easy drive of three Lucid Design Studios. When they finally get some test drivers that you can see parked outside and away from artificial showroom lighting, I'm hoping to see one Gravity in Yosemite and one in Tahoe so that I can finally decide between the only two colors available for the DE -- neither of which I particularly like.

However, if @NoseyReporter's worry about white piping checks out (and I think it will based on the configurator image), that alone would put the nail in the Tahoe coffin for me. All the Gravity interior colors show this bright white piping on the configurator, but it seems particularly disconcerting on the Tahoe and least so on the Yosemite.

It's as if the subtlety that so marked the Air's interior design was tossed out the window with the Gravity.

Same phone camera, one was outside with a view of passenger side second row and the other shots were indoor poorly lit garage.

Egad. I had not noticed that from the showroom visits where most of the interior colors could only be seen on color swatches, anyway. Is this something that Lucid switched between the prototypes and the production units? It's really kinda jarring.

Now I'm even rethinking my choice of Ojai for the Grand Touring and going with Yosemite in both cars.

In the Ojai photos, I don't like the white piping either and was taken aback. I'll wait until I can see the colors I'm choosing between in person.

Tahoe has white piping too. I still really like Ojai (which is what I’d originally optioned on my GGT). Wish it were available on the GDE, which I have reluctantly configured with Tahoe

I can always fall back to a Yosemite interior if its piping is less garish. The Ojai piping reminds me of a circa-1975 Sears sofa. Minus one point in my Gravity vs Polestar 3 decision.

It's strange, but I had missed the white piping in the photos with which @Neurio opened this thread, perhaps because I was so focused on the Ojai color. But now that my attention has been drawn to it, I cannot unsee it. "Garish" is exactly the word for it.

The Yosemite has it, too (in fact, all the interior colors do), but it's much less pronounced on the Yosemite, which has confirmed me in the decision to switch my GDE order to Yosemite.

I simply cannot fathom why the Lucid interior team -- which did such a good job with the Air -- decided this was attractive. I hope this is an anomaly and doesn't mean that Lucid is going down the path MB, BMW, Lexus, and other premium auto makers have recently taken toward more gimmicky, more overdone and, ultimately, more jarring designs.

I assume there are a LOT of points in this calculation? Given that when we drive, we sit IN the seats and don't look at them, I would imagine that the rest of the Lucid experience would count for many more points in its favor?

Folks, I think we need to see it in person first...perhaps it is more of a beige piping that is reading as white on the seats in the photo? Additionally, I do not personally have a problem with it either way, so while I respect that some of you don't like it, I imagine there may be a fairly large number of us who will -- especially when we see the vehicle in person. The Lucid team has been pretty amazing with their interiors thus far, I don't see a reason to fret over a massive change in direction at this juncture. Remember, a fiar number of folks did NOT like the Air's 2-tone interior concept and even called it "vulgar" back in the day...

That's a possibility, and I hope you're right.

But the angst it has triggered among some of us is probably due, in part, to the fact that we will probably get calls to confirm our final orders before any production Gravities show up in Design Studios for us to see in the flesh.

Lucid claims deliveries will start in earnest in about two weeks, yet none of the three Florida showrooms yet have any word on when they'll be getting production units to view. And since getting to those showrooms can require some travel planning, that just further decreases the likelihood of being able to make decisions based on actual viewings.

And since Lucid has not disclosed how many Dream Editions will be built or assured owners they will remain in queue for one if they delay order confirmation, it could be risky to wait for a viewing.

The presence or absence of something like white piping will not affect my decision to buy a Dream Edition, but it has a lot to do with my interior color choice which, in turn, affects exterior color choice . . . and those things are important to me.

Yes, of course, it's not at all a simple decision.

I guess I am just super easy to please. I could care less about the color of the piping. What I DO really care about is how my cars drive, their road manners, their range (why I choose 20/21 wheels over the larger, better looking ones), their efficiency, their build quality, is the company one I want to support with my hard earned money…that stuff matters greatly to me. As long as seats are comfortable…the color of the piping? Just not a thing for me.

I understand that we each make decisions based on our own criteria, so by all means, please do not take the above as judging anyone else’s calculus!

Surely we've all had the experience of using the "build your own" tools from Porsche, Aston, etc. as if they're a 2000s "Barbie Dress Up" Flash game though. I'm not going to say I'd reject a car just because of its seat stitching color or something, but when I can choose, I sure do have opinions.

I think the operative word there is “can,” right? Would I choose the light colored piping on the Ojai leather? From the photo that started this thread, no, but we can’t choose, so there it is!

Well, we can at least choose an interior color that diminishes the contrast. I just wish I didn't have to.

This is less an issue for the Dream, for which I had already decided to go with Yosemite because I didn't like the orange hue of the Tahoe. This is really more an issue for the Grand Touring I have ordered with Ojai, but which I might switch to Yosemite if that piping is actually as bright white as it appears in images.
