    Convince me to buy a Gravity DE (current Air DE owner)

    The build sheet shows only one option for the DE -- just wheel size (7 passenger is required)

    I asked Lucid to sneak me in for a test drive in Dallas this Saturday. This was their response.

    Tickets are refundable. If I am the a**hole, I'll own it. But if Lucid created certain perks and promises of perks for DE owners as it relates to Gravity orders, then it's not unfair to have the expectation that one can ask.

    Gravity GT First Drive and Orders information

    That residual seems a bit high, no? If I'd leased my Air DE and gave me a residual of 78k, I'd turn it right back in (open market value on Air DEs right now is probably 50-60k).

    Gravity Dream Edition in Miami

    Good to know. I hate having to sell cars on my own (the hassle, time, etc), so I usually trade mine in (it's worth the haircut you take on the value, IMHO, to not have to waste time selling one privately).

    I asked Lucid to sneak me in for a test drive in Dallas this Saturday. This was their response.

    My ask wasn't to bump someone. My ask was to guarantee that I'd get a chance to drive (even for a few minutes after the event concluded). It's a 1000 mile flight. I'm not gonna hop on a plane for some free coffee and doughnuts. (And, yes, I am well-aware of the logistics of putting on an...

    I asked Lucid to sneak me in for a test drive in Dallas this Saturday. This was their response.

    I live a 3-4 hour drive from the nearest showroom. And that showroom won't be getting any examples any time soon. So it requires a plane ride for me if I want to see it. I wasn't sure if I'd go to Dallas or any of the other cities. So why would I sign up until I had a clear idea of when my...

    I get it. I bought mine sight-unseen in December of 2021. I took delivery at 9pm in pitch dark.

    I asked Lucid to sneak me in for a test drive in Dallas this Saturday. This was their response.

    Nope. I am flying down there to drive the car. I'll find other stuff to fill my time, sure, but the main purpose of the trip is to drive the car. I'd like to buy my wife a new car. Initially, she didn't want to look at Lucid (she doesn't like my Air). But the range piques her interest. So we...

    Gravity Dream Edition in Miami

    My purchase happened in 2021, so they didn't have anything. Are they taking all cars on trade-in, or just Lucids?

    Gravity Dream Edition in Miami

    Lucid is doing trade-ins now? Since when?

    Convince me to buy a Gravity DE (current Air DE owner)

    Three rows aren't at all important to us. (If I could, I'd have them remove the third row from the DE). We don't have kids, dogs (not that I'd ever let a dog in my Lucid), etc. Range and luxury are king for our needs. So our options are limited. (Audi's PPE platform isn't delivering the...

    I asked Lucid to sneak me in for a test drive in Dallas this Saturday. This was their response.

    🤷‍♂️ Seems like the better response would have been -- "I'll get you in contact with our local management of the studio and we'll make sure that you get a drive, time not guaranteed, but guaranteed that you'll get a drive." I'm not saying that they should do that for everyone, but I...

    I asked Lucid to sneak me in for a test drive in Dallas this Saturday. This was their response.

    Background: My wife drives an etron edition 1 (May, 2019). It's getting long-in-the-tooth. I intend to fly to Dallas with my wife so that she can test drive the car (so that she can make up her mind if she wants that or the Q6 etron). It's a 1000 mile flight for us. And the only day that...

    Convince me to buy a Gravity DE (current Air DE owner)

    I have a DE Performance. I've had it since December 2021. I've been on the fence about the Gravity DE. (I'd only look at the DE or any of the fully-loaded variants). Normally, I'd be fine with buying the car sight-unseen (I did with my DE). I'm interested in the Gravity...but something keeps...

    Front 21" Tire Shortage

    Well, the Discount Tire (America's Tire) site still ALLOWS you to order it, but I did so and my local store told me basically that I was SOL and they could not get any. Some stores out west have some, but there is no way to send them to me here in the flyover states.
