I like to drive, only want L2 otherwise. After testing Gravity, in Burlington MA, I wanted to share a couple notes.
I'm near the end of a search, having driven R1S, EQS, EX90, EV9, Lyriq, Hummer & Sierra. This is about suspension, coming from coil MS's (yup, older). Burlington had the tri-chamber air setup ($2900). I'm fearful, because, per "the internet", the single-chamber air setup is closer to perma-"Smooth", which in tri-air I found too soft, like in EV9, and EX90; a mode for long highway, or winter, but not especially composed, or damped, when changing direction. The feeling isn't like a hurtling brick, where you become keenly aware of GM's 8.5k lb, Ultium's weight, but I was conscious of 6-7k lbs floating. We were in "Smooth" most, then "Swift", a bit, then "Sprint" for a couple acceleration runs. Never highway. Honestly, think I'd leave a gravity in "Sprint" almost full time because the ride felt more accurate without being harsh.
Here in MA, Rivian's Charlestown location sends you out on some rough, urban, stuff. Like I said, I'm sort of a coils/shocks guy, but on two drives (RT and RS) I'm smitten by their air suspension. It's the only one that has me looking up air, and hydraulic, bleeding equipment, since I'm a long haul owner with a nicely fitted garage. Gravity offers way more, in each of range, charging and efficiency, but between a la carte steering wheel heat, L2'ish DDrive Prem, and having to opt for Tri-air in my case, it's another jump. Worth the added luxury? Acceleration kept grabbing/punching past what I'd guess was ~65, before a little ABS chatter back down. I won't echo other desirables. I had a similar driving experience in the Lyriq on a rotary, thinking its 6k lb might drive like a 3.6k lb Chevy Volt. Wrong. Here, don't go in thinking a Gravity will be a "minivan that drives like a car". It suits more thoroughly chilling out, where the cabin excels.
