Gravity Test Drive writeup

[JoshG]

When I mentioned that I was set up for a test drive tomorrow (Saturday), the Lucid employee said that the test drive wouldn't allow for me to go on the highway. I mentioned that I had heard that the route was up the highway one exit and back on side roads and they said "Yes, we saw that posted and don't know why they said that". Ummm, huh?

I'm going to ignore the fact that she implied that the OP was not telling the truth, but did anyone more recently than the OP get to take it on the highway?

I should also add that the same employee said that they have no word on why the HUD is not being available on GT and speculation about supply chains and such would be premature (I didn't mention any of that, she proactively told me not to speculate about something I hadn't even brought up) - another indication that she wasn't well informed about any of this.

Bizarre... I promise you i didn't make up going on Hwy 280 from winchester to Saratoga. Maybe they modified the route later, or maybe we did a different route as we had a little extra time. Anthony was my rep who rode with me.

Out of curiosity, what was your test route?

I truly had an incredible experience — WHAT A CAR! Just WOW. Gravity is absolutely going to be a benchmark. Huge kudos to the engineers and their hard work; they clearly put great attention into every detail to deliver such an exceptional experience.
The squircle steering wheel? Not an issue at all. I drive with my hands at 3 and 9, and it felt natural within a minute. People talk about German cars for handling — but after Gravity, they’ll be talking about American cars for handling, luxury, and tech.

Luxury isn’t just the car — it’s the whole experience. The staff were professional and welcoming, even late in the day. Claire was especially patient and professional, helping me understand the car thoroughly in just the 20 minutes we had.
As always, I loved talking cars with Anthony. He’s actually the one who first got me hooked on Lucid! We had a great chat about the new features and different aspects of the car — it’s always a pleasure.
I had a wonderful experience with Lucid before with the Air, and it continues with Gravity with improvements. Anthony, Claire, and the entire team were just awesome.
I’m sure that once you drive it and experience it for yourself, you’ll only want more.


Lucid truly is the best — car, customer experience, everything. Five stars.

We did surface streets only. I was disappointed, but understand the reason for this limitation. There will be more opportunities for longer drives later.

did the drive yesterday in San Jose and we had a set surface street loop, which did not include the highway. there was a small straight section where they recommended to try out Sprint mode.

No highway in our test drive either.

Seriously…just buy the Dragy and bury it for a quarter, 12 seconds acceleration and then around 75mph just drop the brakes down as if your favorite pet is on the road and give us some stopping data. For science!
