A lot of the increased handling from the Taycan comes from wider tires. Otherwise on the street under normal driving, there is no real difference. Even spirited driving on the back roads is barely different between the two. The track may be a different story. I don't understand the comparison...

I had a 2020 Taycan Turbo S before moving to our Touring. Overall the Taycan was fine and I was pretty happy except for the purchase price. If does have a little bit sharper handling, and a sportier look. Otherwise the Lucid is better in almost every aspect. Spec for spec, the Lucid comes in...

I just don't understand the appeal. It looks terrible, and I thought the whole reason for the ugly looks was the new manufacturing process was going to significantly reduce costs. It's now just an expensive trophy truck. If I wanted a flashy truck for $100k+, I'd probably buy the Hummer EV. It...

Correct. Our EQS SUV has 10 degree of rear steering. It's so nice for parking and pulling a U-turn. It is a bit disorienting at first and does take some getting used to. It might be a bit much with the 180 degree of steering wheel lock. With current 360 degree lock in our EQS I've almost turned...

Depends on the final Gravity specs. Tough to do a direct comparison yet. For many it will be the dealer network versus Lucid however. Compared to the EV9 it has soft close doors, better sound system, air suspension, better seats, a little more range, and Lidar for potentially better ADAS.

Pricing just released. This will be the biggest competitor to the Gravity in my opinion. It won't have the same range, and lacks a large front trunk, but will be on par in terms of Luxury and general tech. It came in cheaper than I expected. They also tend to have nice lease terms, which will...

I don’t believe Lucid has released official details about the Gravity reservation process, but I did hear from my Sales Advisor who provided some feedback. He said all the information they have points to no reservations, and simply a direct to order model, with priority given to current Lucid...

Sorry if I'm repeating this, but on the InsideEV podcast, Kyle who was able to sit in the back of the Gravity, mentioned it had a lot more third row leg room than the R1S. He said it can legitimately fit 7 adults, unlike any of the other 7 seater EVs on sale. Another number probably not...

That's pretty standard for car show staff. I used to work in the auto industry and would attend the Detroit Auto Show every year. Same thing. Everyone working the displays were simply hired for the show, and only knew a few talking points.

Agreed. But they are pretty ugly.

I'm not saying I like the Outback. Just the color. :p

I think it looks more like the Subaru green on the Outback. Which I like honestly.

Nope. Our final numbers were very close to the calculator on their website, outside of the things I mentioned.

Check on your local taxes and registration to see how those are calculated. For example, most dealerships in Colorado do not pay for registration. Registering our Air was $2200. Lucid included this cost in my lease because they actually take care of the registration. So it inflated my drive...

Our EQS SUV is the same length and the rear axle steering is a really nice upgrade. So easy to park and maneuver around tight spots. Considering the Gravity has a longer wheel base, it may be more necessary.
