Gravity Delivery Discussion

Drive home was scary. The Gravity felt big to start but slowly it started to feel smaller and smaller. I really struggled to find a good driving position in the car, towards the end it was better but more tweaking is required.

The DDPro worked really well in traffic. It did a great job. I can't however figure out how to actually turn it all off. The car starts with it off, I hit the button once for what I think is cruise control and another time to get lane centering. But short of hitting the brake I'm not entirely sure how to turn it off.

I have way more thoughts but... I think I'll reserve them for when I have more time with the car.

All in all, shocked this is a 2nd product from a new company. It feels really well put together.

Congrats. And by the way, I was told that "delivery to home" is included currently at no extra cost. I'm in North Carolina so not sure if it's state by state or what.

Our Gravity was delivered by enclosed truck to our house at no additional charge, even though we drove over to the Service Center in Miami (126 miles away) to examine the car and do the delivery paperwork. We didn't want to drive it back ourselves until we had it wrapped with PPF.

The brake or the X on the steering wheel disengages it. Depending on what is selected in the settings it will either start with Adaptive Cruise or Drive Assist when you press the DreamDrive button on the steering wheel. If you have it set to Adaptive Cruise then pressing the DreamDrive button on the steering wheel for 3 to 3 seconds should enable Drive Assist.

I have set mine to kick in to Drive Assist as default and works well.

I also picked up an orphan - a GDE orphan - you can tell when the car was produced (at least the month) by looking at the sticker on the hinge area of the drivers side door. My GDE says date of manufacture 6/25 - and it was delivered in mid July. Not that bad.... Good luck with the delivery.

Range - my GDE has the largest wheels - on full charge it says 378 miles, however the real range estimate in the car is only 315 miles.... (hot weather and heavy feet keep the range low...)

That's a big part of the reason I don't want to buy a 300 EPA range vehicle. I don't mind hypermiling a lot of the time. But sometimes I just want to have a lead foot and enjoy myself, and still have a good road trip range. I'd be perfectly satisfied with the 315 you're getting with your driving style.

I thought for sure you had mentioned having to pay to have yours shipped to the PPF installer.
Glad you posted.
I'm 116 miles from Tysons.
I'll be texting my SA in the morning.

I got the text this evening that I've been waiting for.

My SA texted me to let me know my Gravity is through production and headed to Tysons.
Should be ready for pickup in early August.

A couple of logistical request I made, that may benefit some:
  1. As mentioned in a previous post, I don't want to drive the car the approximately 100 miles from Tysons to my house, so I've asked if the car can be delivered to the Mechanicsville SC that is across town from me. They have to do the inspection at Tysons. My SA is going to talk with the delivery team to find out what's possible. Delivery to home is possible; with cost, as some already know. SA will follow up with me tomorrow.
  2. I would like the aero covers removed at Tysons and the center caps installed. If not, I'd like to be billed for the caps and have them placed in the car for me to install myself.
An FYI for those of you in states that require a front license plate, but are not having the license plate frame put on at the factory; they are required by law to provide the front license plate frame, so it will be placed in the car at time of delivery.

One final bit of info to give perspective to those accepting orphans recently:

My SA offered me this car when I texted her on July 10. My dashboard immediately went to "In Production" and the VIN showed in my dashboard.
When I asked how long to delivery, she said "I'll give you the standard 30-45 days response", but she also didn't know how long it had been in production.
She said today that the car came out of production yesterday. She usually gets a message when a car is through production. Not this time. She was checking the status of her customers' orders and saw today that mine was completed yesterday and ready for transport. Going with the completely unrealistic premise that production started the Monday (7/7) before I texted her and excluding weekends, July 7- 23 is thirteen weekdays. Obviously the car was not built in 13 days. So, if you are offered a car already in production, there's no telling how long it's been "in production".

I had a clue today that something was up.
A pickup location showed in my dashboard. Hadn't been there before.
I saw it today when I signed in and was looking through the Lucid store.
I resisted the urge to text my SA and then she texted me this evening.

This is great information thank you!

I had upgraded my order to Black DE on July 6 and it entered production (website status changed and SA texted me) on July 11. Back then my SA gave me his best delivery guestimate of end of July (best case scenario) but most likely mid August - which from your timeline looks realistic.

Are you able to see the Owners Manual and Software Updates on the website now that it's completed production?

I had been assuming I would pay the transport fee myself, and I think I did mention that at one point. But I was pleasantly surprised when the driver dropped the car off and said delivery was included for owners who did not have a Service Center nearby. When I later looked more closely, I noticed my Lucid account had my home address listed as the delivery point, not the Service Center.

No problem.
I'm just glad my order is up!
 
Took delivery of my Gravity Dream Edition today (Aurora Green; Tahoe; 22/23) and simultaneously left my 2022 Model X Plaid on their lot in trade. Their offer was better than expected given I had over 70K miles on the Plaid, so I went for it (and the convenience of not having to juggle a private party sale).

My delivery experience was quick and informative. Accessories delivered with the car:
  • Dream Edition Frunk Seat
  • One Physical Car Key (with one on due bill)
  • One Physical Key Card (with one on due bill)
  • NACS Mobile Charging Cable (with 14-50 and standard 120v adapters)
  • CCS to NACS Adapter
  • J1772 to NACS Adapter
  • Tow hitch receiver
This won't be a shock to those of you who've already taken delivery -- I am absolutely blown away. While the Model X Plaid was impressive in performance, the interior always felt austere, and space utilization was subpar due to the sloping roofline. The Gravity is in a different league. The material fit and finish alone puts it ahead. Every surface I touch feels intentionally crafted and genuinely premium. But what really sets it apart? THE RIDE QUALITY! OMG! Sumptuous isn't an overstatement. The level of refinement and comfort is extraordinary. It's smooth, serene and deeply satisfying. I'm racking my brain to remember whether my 2016 BMW 750i (the last ICE car I ever owned) rode as smoothly as my Gravity does -- it's really that good. The only nit I have re: delivery is the fact HomeLink presented me with the dreaded barcode for purchase while I was in the Studio. The person giving me the orientation told me that would go away once the car was 'fully delivered' and I forgot to look again before driving off. Sure enough, when I got home and had some time to fiddle around with settings, I went into HomeLink settings, and it appears mine hasn't been set up (read: the software isn't communicating with the installed hardware). I don't like that I'll have to make a service call, but I can't say I wasn't warned by others' similar experiences. That minor thing did zero to dampen my excitement. I'm thrilled to have this vehicle in my garage at long last.

The difference between my outgoing Model X and the new Gravity is striking. Lucid really has created something special.

So say hello to Lucid Gravity Dream Edition #35 aka 'Velocitron' folks!

Congrats! After about 10 tries I finally got my Homelink work. It took too many tries but maybe be persistent? Good luck…! Hopefully if it needs an update it is simple to complete. I’ve noticed that my car throws random errors upon startup - headlights, lane keeping, etc. which are not real. Hopefully these phantom errors go away with more updates.
