What are your road-tripping patterns? To me, even 386 EPA is a very comfortable number. If it converts to 300+ real-life under any conditions - heat / cold / speeding (and I think it will), that's sufficient with existing infrastructure. My current car - EQS - goes 300 miles even if I go 85-90...

I was concerned about the opposite - I spec'ed mine with 23s, but wanted to forego Max Performance, all-seasons would be perfect. Tire Rack only shows summer and winter in that size, no all-seasons :(

Damn, I didn't notice this before. Wish there was a choice. Hope the same P Zeros exist in an all-season option, but that's an unnecessary aftermarket expense to me...

Also, there's a chance going up 2 inches in wheel size doesn't have a material impact on range, different models / wheels behave differently. Looking at BMW iX configurator, 20" Aeros are rated for 309 miles, 21" is 303 miles, and 22" is 302 miles. Sounds like a no brainer in that case to have a...

Cause this set looks so much better than the smaller sized ones. Unfortunately, Gravity 21 and 22 wheels look like an afterthought to me compared to 23s... But I fully appreciate people have different tastes.

Gravity prototype (can see the exterior, can't sit inside) will be in Millbrae Dec 12 - Dec 16. See you folks there!

Question to those who didn't add Tow package - e.g. @tonybot @DrLucid @Neurio @dragonwang - why? Is it just something you know you'll never use (so why waste $750), or there's some disadvantage I'm unaware of? E.g. visible hook, sensor delete, etc?

Well, it's all a matter of personal preference, but since you asked... I'm personally not a fan of black wheels, so to me 23" Platinums for Gravity look the best. That said, Stealth 23" are also beautiful and a solid option. Also, to me both, Stealth and Platinum 23" for Gravity look so-so much...

Lucid currently has cash runway through 2026, Gravity sales will help them last at least through 2027, so they'll be alive for 3 years. If you plan to keep a car for over 3 years, EV is not the best choice imho (battery degradation, swift changes in technology and competition and corresponding...

What did they tell you gents - anything worth sharing? I got an email from a sales rep at Millbrae studio, but at this point it's pretty uneventful - thanks for your order, blabla. No details on timeline, etc.

What does Tesla do in this sequence, this is a premium brand comparison.

Agree it's steep in absolute terms, but unfortunately feels relatively on par with the "luxury" market - AR HUD for Mercedes EQS is a $2,000 option. So you're left with $1,200 for sockets and lighting - ~$600 per basic option, which is what most manufacturers charge now... In Porsche world...

This was my other top-contender color (white car with stealth appearance). I think it's the exact same white as on Air, so you can find videos / pictures of white airs to see what you're getting.

Great context, thank you! Also, appreciate your take on Titanium - that's what I ordered, and I think the configurator shows a completely wrong tone, as all the videos that had a demo in this color look different. I also like that it's a late delivery as my current lease is through end of...

I'm curious, what do you guys all like about the Aurora Green? :) Is it cause it's the only one that was extensively shown on videos under different light conditions, while others are a blind bet?
