New to the Lucid Family - From Model X to Gravity Dream Edition

[hmp10]

Do Tesla superchargers appear in Gravity's nav system yet? Lucid is still working on adding them to the Air's nav.

Not in our car's. It's in the shop right now, in part because nothing about the nav system has worked since we took delivery. (Plug-and-charge worked seamlessly, though, at the several Superchargers we tried out.)

* The previous iteration (typically v3) has a NACS connector and can charge any NACS car, and certain CCS cars if they have the adapter.

Tesla has closed a few V3 Superchargers to "NACS-partner" car brands due to high traffic volume at them from Tesla owners. It's best to check the Tesla website or app beforehand using the filter to show only "NACS-partner" sites.

I have a 2022 X and a Gravity. Random thoughts:

1) Third row - useless in the X but my kids fight over it in the Gravity. It’s great.

2) Interior - depends what you like, but the interior is really well designed and feels a level above Tesla.

3) Driving - it’s planted and feels like it’s on rails. Super quick and amazing to drive. Our X just sits in the driveway now. Was great, but to your point, Tesla’s neglected it.

4) Ride - smoother and more enjoyable than X but still can feel the road

5) Seats - you covered. Gravity’s are awesome.

6) Software - Tesla wins here. They have a 10+ year head start and are also much better than Rivian. Lucid will keep improving, but you need to go in knowing Lucid has bugs, etc.

7) Cargo - Gravity is huge inside. Lots of space. Easily fit my huge dog kennel in back. Can’t fit in X without second row going down.

8) Range/Charge - Better range on our Gravity and it charges faster at Tesla SCs than our X. Plug and charge has worked well.

You hit most of these, but as someone who has an X and a Gravity (and an R1S) thought it may help to chime in.

Hope that helps.

Good observations. I have a 2024 X and I'm awaiting delivery on my GGT, but based on my test drives and time spent at the studio, your comments much my experience.

Do NOT rely on the internal Lucid app for Tesla charging. It took me to two chargers today that it said were Tesla charging one was non existent and the other was ChargePoint (but the Lucid app said “Tesla” and I have it filtered to only show Tesla).

The phone app appears to be correct. I used it for my third attempt and it was an actual Tesla SC and worked perfectly. Not sure what issue is in car, but do not rely on it. If I didn’t have 50+ miles of buffer, I would’ve been screwed.

Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts on the MX vs Gravity. My wife did the Gravity test drive today, she's liking it more then another X. \
But one thing came up from the dealer - seems there's a lot of wool in the interior trim. Does it stain easily, if you have the Yosemite / White trim?

I believe the trim you're talking about is a wool/polyester blend. Such material is usually very stain-resistant. We have the relatively light Santa Monica interior in our 2022 Air Dream Edition, and the interior still looks brand new except for the front-seat leather developing a bit of creasing and patina from use -- something that is actually a desirable trait of fine leather.

Same. Our leather is worn/patina’d a bit, but does not look bad. That wool-like material is stain-free and flawless.

Is that the material at the top of the back of the front seats (if that makes sense) and on lower part of the dash? Almost feels like a low ply carpet…been trying to figure out if I vacuum it or brush it or how it should be cleaned.

Yes. I’ve vacuumed it
