I was at the Natick studio yesterday also and got to experience the Gravity - at least to some degree (it will be good to check it out in more detail at a later date when it's not busy). We're also coming from a Model X. This was mentioned repeatedly to me, and as soon as I arrived. Which...

Oh, that's right -- I forgot that the Power Package was also a missing feature in these available GGT's.. or at least in a few of them. I imagine that most people would want the outlets. I definitely find them to be a missing feature in my current EV. Thanks for confirming and adding more...

When I went to the Natick, MA, studio yesterday to check out the Gravity, one really helpful associate tried to start to match me to a VIN to arrange 2-3 week delivery. GGT not GDE. There were 8-10 that were unmatched. All were green, Tahoe, 21/22 wheels. Not sure about the other options but I...

I’ll be there tomorrow also. Will bring a tape measure and will see if I can test out the sound system and UI. And maybe the massage seats….

As far as the reasons for the delay — do we know whether Lucid has a stockpile of rare earth magnets? The top story on my WSJ concerned the potential shutdown of some automakers’ lines if the situation doesn’t improve...

I tried to get a quote to insure the gravity, from MapFre (Massachusetts), our current insurer. Their response was that they don’t insure Lucids. I didn’t realize that was a choice that insurance companies had (they could just suggest a shockingly high rate, instead of declining to insure)...

This is exactly what I was picturing it should be able to do. Especially given that they have those 3D models and wouldn't have to build them. Thanks for the replies, glad to know I'm not the only one annoyed by it.

When I try to design either the Gravity or the Air in the "designer" on the website, the experience is pretty poor: It takes too long to switch from one view to another. Sometimes it just refuses to load the image when you click on the thumbnail. The ability to "spin the car" to see all views...

Thanks for the timings and for the detailed test drive review! I will have to remember to try checking my blindspot in various ways when I do a test drive. Does anyone have thoughts or theories on why it might be “gentle” from 0-30? I can’t imagine they would limit its power in launch mode...

Perhaps I'm a child at heart but I would really prefer a nice, Sapphire-esque (or really any) blue paint to the available options. It would be especially good looking with the tan leather seat option. My current plan is to go with the aurora green, and if I keep it for long enough and it gets...

Do you mind sharing when you placed your order?

I am bummed to see that as well. It would be much nicer if we had a choice of a fixed, stronger hitch, and a weaker removable hitch. The answer for us will probably be an aftermarket hitch. (Or possibly fire up the welder…)

The other big benefit to carrying things via hitch rather than roof rack (in addition to the ease of loading it) is that it lowers your frontal area and thus should lower your Wh/mi when carrying a load. Also, less chance of dropping something on the glass roof, or overloading a roof rack, and...

Thanks for posting this. I've been wondering what the big deal is with HUD. I usually know how fast I'm going, and when to turn (or the directions/sound system let me know). I'm not sure if I would want it on 95% of the time when I'm driving on familiar roads. But would be nice to have for the...

I thought it was interesting to see, in the David Lickfold interview by Wheel Bearings () that the drivetrain subframe is steel. You can see it around the 2-4 minute mark - the parts painted black, I assume. I was under the mistaken impression that the higher end electric vehicles like Lucid...
