Notified that my orphan Gravity is being shipped

[gmoney]

Morning all,

I was contacted by lucid yesterday that my orphaned Gravity is about to ship to me in Tyson’s Corner VA. They say 2-3 weeks I should have the car. I was given the option to switch to an in production car without power package and mid size wheels. I decided to go ahead and 4-5 weeks later the car finished production late last week.

I am looking forward to using this as my daily driver (instead of my Dream AIR) because the extra functionality should outweighs the growing pains for me (fingers crossed).

I decided to lease my Gravity over 36 months that will cost me about $64,000 total (about half of the total cost to buy outright). My build without taxes was about $120,000 without taxes and fees.

I owned by Air since February/22 and it has been the longest car I ever owned because it is the perfect car from a luxury and performance blend. I feel that I have been lucky with very few issues with my AIR (except with some early software issues).

I have read daily posted about the Gravity to keep up to date from early owners and I am grateful for everyone’s honest feedback even when some were overly critical. I think it’s healthy when people share both experiences and people can make their own decisions what is best for them.

The Tysons team has been awesome and proactive about matching folks to inventory cars. Kudos to them and keep us posted once you take delivery!

What is an orphaned Gravity?

What is an orphaned Gravity?

For whatever reason (supply constrained so they build what they can, customers back out), there are inventory cars that aren’t matched to owners when they’re built. Folks have been calling them “orphans”, but since Lucid is building what they can and not 1:1 with what’s ordered, I prefer “inventory”.

SAs can see this inventory in the “system” now and can help you find something. However, some SAs have proven more helpful than others.

Several of us have been able to match to an inventory car to expedite delivery. Most of us who did that gave up some option they wanted - always HUD, frequently power package, wheel size, platinum vs stealth, etc.

Thank you for the excellent explanation. I learned a lot, not the least of which is that I have and orphaned AGT.
