    Gravity Plan B

    EA IS awful. I'm glad someone else feels the same way. The first road trip I took with my Rivian was in '22 and EA was the main player in town. Charging was rough, especially compared to now when Rivian has plug and charge with the superchargers using an adapter or in the case of the '26s...

    Gravity Plan B

    I'm late to the party here, but I have a '25 Rivian R1S Trimax. In conserve, I can hit 400 miles of range at 75 or less, which is plenty for my bladder. The adaptive headlights, the hands-free ADAS system, and now with Google Maps nav make the Rivian an excellent choice for road tripping. As...

    And expanded it significantly. Regardless, they are further along on the path to profitability.

    Gravity Spec coming Oct 3 ?

    While I agree, Rivian built a factory too and they also are doing a ton of internal development. I am aware that car startups burn piles of money to get started, but the whole point of posting the values of each is to compare where each company is relative to each other. Those numbers are also...

    Gravity Spec coming Oct 3 ?

    Could you please tell me what the reason for this is? I speculate that Lucid has sold as many airs as they have because of the Pure trim and generous leasing deals. The Taycan has decreased sales because the Porsche premium isn't popular in a strained economy. Releasing a 120K dollar SUV into...

    Gravity Spec coming Oct 3 ?

    I have to disagree with the red text. Polestar is a division of Volvo and while they might fail it will have more to do with import tariffs and bans than not making it. Rivian has a pretty solid plan and has a good chance to be net positive on a per vehicle basis in the fourth quarter of this...

    Gravity Spec coming Oct 3 ?

    Yeah, that's my thoughts as well. This is Lucid's make-or-break vehicle, and I wonder if they will sell enough of them to meet their ramping necessity. I look at Rivian with their R1's and how they only move 50K units a year and think there can't be much more of a market for the Gravity. The...

    NEW Hagerty drag race: Demon 170 vs Sapphire!

    Most of what he says is meaningless. Of course drivers matter, but someone with a better reaction time than him in the Lucid would negate his reaction time thing. Notice from the two Hagerty races the Lucid runs roughly the same time at both the prepped and the unprepped track while the demon...

    Sapphire, Taycan or E-Tron GT

    If you will only test drive the Sapphire on 800HP mode because you're worried that it will ruin the other cars, that means you have already made up your mind and consider the Sapphire to be the better car. All of these cars are a bad financial investment, so why not buy the one you want most?

    NEW Hagerty drag race: Demon 170 vs Sapphire!

    Anyone who watches this and still doesn't believe EVs are the future is delusional or blind.

    Lucid CEO critiques other EV-SUVs

    Not according to her apparently. I liked that Audi, she did not.

    Lucid CEO critiques other EV-SUVs

    My wife told me the same thing about her Audi when I got my Rivian, so I had to get her an i4M50.

    Have you seen this Lucid knockoff? Zeekr

    The Chinese aren't exactly known for respecting intellectual property rights.

    VW investing up to 5 billion in Rivian.. per NY Times

    Agree, and some of the issues were due to the CEO's insistence on that crazy design and thick stainless steel body.
