    Gravity Bugs / Issues

    I’m not at all looking forward to the day that Lucid achieves Tesla or GM volume. Model Ys are now so ubiquitous they’ve become the 2020s version of Rodney Dangerfield’s “Can’t Get No Respect.” It was when Tesla hit the mass market with the Model 3 and the Model Y that they lost their...

    Gravity Bugs / Issues

    And people slagged on the Gravity for looking “like a minivan”. Pffft!!! No disrespect to minivans or minivan drivers (I was one for years), but people who make such comments have no idea about automotive design. Your Gravity looks nothing like the frumpy Toyota Sienna parked in front of it...

    "Upgrades"

    Did your family end up placing an order for the Gravity?

    Question - can I use my own unused referral code that I got for purchasing the Air, and apply it to my Gravity order?

    Another non sequitur, kinda. Finally pulled the trigger, and sooner than I thought. I placed an order for a Gravity GT seven-seater last night. I’ve also logged my order on this website’s order tracker. The waiting game begins.

    Face camera location

    If you run your hand along the bottom horizontal edge of your instrument panel, you’ll run into a black, oblong piece of plastic hanging from the lower edge. The facial recognition cameras are located behind that shiny plastic piece. I’m really inept. I couldn’t even begin to draw in an...

    Face camera location

    That’s exactly where I have to set my steering wheel height, to not get that pesky warning. I don’t like it.

    Lucid support in decline?

    Sorry, not federal tax credit, but Lucid rebate. I misspoke.

    Lucid support in decline?

    This is an unfortunate report. I’m about to place an order, hoping to take advantage of Lucid’s extension of their federal tax credit. Now, I’m not so sure. Maybe it will be better to wait until all these early production problems and spare parts shortages are resolved.

    3,242 Mile Road Trip - Lucid Air GT 2022 - LA to Arkansas

    Don’t I wish. CFM LEAP 1A engine, which is what powers American Airlines’ narrow body Airbus A321 NEO aircraft.

    3,242 Mile Road Trip - Lucid Air GT 2022 - LA to Arkansas

    My September 2022-build Air GT just ticked over the 61,000 mile mark. I’ve also taken a number of road trips including three round trip from San Diego CA to Denver CO. I’ve learned that in my Air GT, for every six hours of driving, I stop and charge for 45 minutes to an hour. This...

    Yay Hardware upgrade CPU and memory

    Too late for me. I was on the fence anyway - spend a thousand dollars on upgrading to the new CPU or whatever it’s called; or spend a thousand dollars on placing a deposit on a Gravity GT.

    Thank you. I was wondering about that article. With me, it didn't pass the sniff test on first blush.

    Okay, I still choose the Air, but…

    I’m in the same boat. I’m choosing to wait. It’s killing me to do it, but I’m going to wait. I’m a slow learner. It’s taken me four EV purchases to realise that in the end it doesn’t pay to be an early adopter. The heady thrill of owning the bragging rights to being the first on the block...

    The third row in the Tesla Model X is fit for animals, children and lower limb amputees only. That is all.
