I’ve been watching the inventory fairly closely for the past year or so, at least in the northeast. I also observed a funny mini-flood of new 2026 inventory at the start of a month.. maybe June. I thought it was odd, too. I’m not sure why they would hold back, unless it’s for optics. What’s...

Just curious, since we are thinking of trading in the same car - were you happy with the valuation? I’m wondering what end of the KBB spectrum they lean to.

We had this happen in our ‘23 Model X, just a month into ownership. Unfortunately my wife was driving all the time as well. Somehow she pulled over into a gas station. I had to fight Tesla a little to get it fixed. It got towed, but then it worked fine and it could not be reproduced. I showed...

Agreed. I do think they could sell more cars if they made monotone an option. Nothing too fancy. I live in a pretty normal neighborhood and would prefer it to just blend in.

Just curious, why grey instead of white? Seems to me that white is closer to the titanium vibe. (Not solely curious - those are the two colors I’m considering most)

Just curious - what would be the limit at which you would file a claim, vs paying cash to the other party? I don’t have a good sense of the extent to which insurance rates would go up in case of an accident (ie, what the breakeven point is)

Thanks to everyone for the responses. It’s helpful to know what others are doing with teen drivers in the house and 800 hp in the driveway. We only own two cars so it’s a bit painful to exclude him from one of them. (I suppose the two best solutions are: downgrade the nice car to a normal one so...

My son got his driver's license recently. I don't own a Lucid yet, but was wondering if anyone else has young drivers living with them, and whether they sign an "excluded operator" agreement with their insurance company to avoid a higher insurance payment? Or do they just let them drive the...

IIRC, the sapphire color on the Air wasn’t simple and required multiple extra coats. So between that and its uniqueness I wouldn’t be surprised by a small upcharge.

Did you get the comfort package or dynamic handling? What are your thoughts on getting (or not getting) them? Thanks for the write up! I’ve been considering a Touring as well.

I hope they don't skimp on two things, with the Cosmos: - Package it with a killer sound system from the start - Design the tow hitch to carry several hundreds of pounds - 2 e-bikes / 4 mtn bikes / whatever A car having the best packaging and most efficient drivetrain doesn't appeal to too many...

Does anyone know which corporations have the corporate discount?

This is awesome. Thanks for posting! I would never have considered an Air because of the lack of a hitch, mostly for bikes. This would put it back in the realm of possibility for our family of 4. 400 pounds hitch weight is also way more than the Gravity’s 150 pounds (or whatever it is).

If one is looking at used Lucid Gravities online, are there any visual clues that indicate that a car does or doesn’t have the Surreal Sound Pro? In the configurator it shows extra speaker grills on the A pillar for the Pro. But I’ve seen a car online that had those grills but was still the...

That's true. However, in my case, I have a trade-in worth around $60-65k, so after incentives and taxes and trade-in a Gravity Touring is ~$30-35k, and a GGT is roughly $16k more, so $46-51k. So for those of us in such a situation, it's actually not terribly unlike your example of 30k->40k...
