    Gravity: Helpful Tips for Automated Car Wash?

    It deserves the spanking for occasionally NOT detecting the car key in my pocket haha! 🤣

    NACS Charging at Tesla SCs

    Couldn’t agree more. Throughput at 350 kw EA stations is awesome! Have prioritized EA for road trips now. Tesla will always be a fallback for me going forward.

    Gravity Delivery Discussion

    Congratulations! Looks awesome 😎 Don’t let the bugs get to you. We’re all experiencing a few hiccups here and there with these early deliveries and consensus is confidence Lucid will chip away at them through OTA updates. Like you, I’d never been able to test drive a Gravity, but was absolutely...

    Gravity: Helpful Tips for Automated Car Wash?

    Agreed. It should also be noted my original trepidation about the automated wash was due to the lack of a 'carwash mode' (having had that on my Tesla). I've never been one to fuss about paint or anything like that. Not that it's *not* fuss-worthy, mind you -- it just hasn't been my thing.

    I'm just not as precious about this stuff as some folks, I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Gravity: Helpful Tips for Automated Car Wash?

    Yep. Good eye! Tower Car Wash (and Chevron Gas Station) at Mission and Van Ness in San Francisco. I’ve brought my cars here for at least 20 years — they always do a great job.

    Gravity: Helpful Tips for Automated Car Wash?

    Closing the loop here. Automated wash was a non-issue. Did what was suggested here (thanks to those who offered advice) and turned off the auto wipers, and also made a point to show the person who was going to drive the car into the wash how to put the car in Neutral. Overall, a good experience...

    Gravity Delivery Discussion

    Nothing yet. The only things I received during my 24 July delivery (apart from the mobile charging kit + J1772 to NACS and CCS to NACS adapters) were a single key fob, a single key card, and a Dream Edition-badged frunk seat cushion. The second key fob and key card we’re on a ‘Due Bill’ I...

    Gravity: Helpful Tips for Automated Car Wash?

    Having returned home from my first road trip, the Gravity is in dire need of a wash. I don't have the bandwidth to handwash it myself (and know I'd be obsessive to the point of self ruin), so am going to take it to an automated car wash. There's a pretty good one near me in San Francisco (Tower...

    Range and Charging

    Thanks for starting this thread! I just took my Gravity on my first road-trip (San Francisco to Palm Springs) since ditching my Model X Plaid, and the relative efficiency of the Gravity has changed the way I’m going to approach subsequent trips. In the Model X on the same route, I routinely...

    First Road Trip in My Gravity Dream Edition

    Nailed it! That anxiety is exactly what I felt when I connected the cable. Supercharging my (now departed) Tesla was so routine, It never ever crossed my mind that a session might fail. Never had an ounce of anxiety about it. The FUD I was carrying for my first EA experience, however, was very...

    First Road Trip in My Gravity Dream Edition

    No. In my haste to plug in, I neglected to reduce the limit from what I'd set at my home in SF -- remember, I left home with a 100% SoC. The car was still thinking I wanted a full 100% charge. I stopped it at a little under 80% and kept on truckin'.

    First Road Trip in My Gravity Dream Edition

    This week, I took my first real road trip in my Gravity -- and damn, this car is a roadtripping beast! I drive between San Francisco and Palm Springs several times a year, and this was my first time making the trek since taking delivery of my Gravity Dream Edition last month. On this inaugural...
