I've owned EVs: Tesla Model S, Model X, and Model 3 and I was able to overstuff the trunk that kept the trunk open (but tied down). They would alarm like crazy but with no speed restriction.
Because until this thread nobody really knew. It’s not as if there are a ton of Gravities out there in consumers’ hands to relay experiences. Lucid is selling this car as having class-exceeding cargo space and space efficiency. Minivans can fit sheet goods in a similarly sized vehicle. So for those of us that do woodworking and DIY around the house there was a hope that sheet goods could fit easily in the Gravity.
Might as well cancel your Gravity order if you're going in that direction.
Ha! You think that's bad? My AGT is our dog car.I can't believe we're discussing putting construction material in the back of a $100k vehicle.
I imagine the Gravity will complain endlessly if you drive with the rear door open. I probably wouldn't want to do it at all at highway speeds.
That's my plan for the Gravity I have on order. If I didn't have dogs, I might well seek a smaller vehicle than a Gravity. On the flip-side, the low entry height is big plus as the dogs get older.
Our quad R1S is our dog car. Which I justified because Rivian says it’s for adventure.
100%. My dog isn’t old, but the R1S is a big jump - very high even in kneel position. I think he’s looking forward to growing old with the Gravity! And yes, it’s absurd our GDE will be the dog car.
You can latch the door manually with a stick or screw driver and it won't know the difference
My hesitation isn't about the nagging about the open door. It's concern about the door sticking up above the roofline at highway speeds and being buffeted about by the air. I'd be curious to know whether the rear door will hold an almost closed position, or whether it really wants to be all the way up if it's open at all.
The Owner's Manual mentions a lift gate height adjustment. Question might be, what's the lowest height adjustment setting.
