Got the same notice today...The Lucid app also keeps asking me in a pop-up if I want to schedule a demo drive. Uh... no? I can demo drive whenever I want?

I’m not sure when they received the test drive demo Gravity, but I scheduled my test drive with my SA at Tysons last week. I’m going in this weekend to do a longer test drive. I think you can call the studio or service center to schedule the test drive. I’m not sure if it is restricted to customers with pending orders.When did Tysons get a demo drive car? I did the demo like two months ago, but would be great to do a longer one…
As pointed out elsewhere, just tap the button as if you do want to schedule a test drive, but then don’t actually finish the process. The app will stop asking after that.The Lucid app also keeps asking me in a pop-up if I want to schedule a demo drive. Uh... no? I can demo drive whenever I want?
I got an email Sunday before last (July 27) with a title "Lucid Motors | Gravity has landed" and started "You’ve been patiently waiting — and we’re thrilled to share that the wait is over..... The all-new Lucid Gravity SUV has officially arrived at Tyson's Galleria or Corner showroom. As one of our early sign-ups, you're invited to be among the first to experience Gravity in person."When did Tysons get a demo drive car?

I got that same email but didn’t notice until someone mentioned Tysons test drives on here…I got an email Sunday before last (July 27) with a title "Lucid Motors | Gravity has landed" and started "You’ve been patiently waiting — and we’re thrilled to share that the wait is over.....

After reading the first line, I thought it was my notice that my long-awaited car was in production, so it was a massive letdown to know that it was just a test car available....
I just came from mine this past Saturday in Tysons Corner, VA. Let me drive for as long as I wanted with no escort. It was amazing.Anyone have success with gravity test drives? I'm not talking about the one day in your city opportunity that I couldn't make back in May.
Still waiting for any update here in NYC but having to plan contingencies if my gravity order doesn't materialize by the time this lease extension is up in late September. I figure a good test drive would help tide us over from making any rash decisions on a Rivian or Cadillac
Funny, I had test drive in Houston last week. Wife was initially unimpressed with video reviews I showed her but after test drive, she was very impressed and agreed with my order. To each their own. Good news, since I was not an early order, I just moved up in the queue after your cancelation.Test drove in Houston over the weekend. Have a deposit from day one for the wife. She was unimpressed so we are cancelling the order. Sorry Lucid!
Always good to hear an objective view and appreciate the thoughtful post. This is why they make different EVs, and cars in general.My wife and I and a friend did a test drive today in GT, AG, Tahoe, 21/22 wheels, no HUD. Here are my honest observations and take away:
Seating/steering position: The Gravity seats you higher in the vehicle than what I'm use to in our EQS SUV (we've owned our Mercedes for 3 years so the Gravity for us is being measured against our EQS SUV.) I did not care for how low the steering wheel is located compared to most other vehicles including our EQS SUV. It felt like I was steering from my lap. I did have a good view of the cockpit display but at the expense of an oddly low position for the steering wheel. I didn't care for the steering position.
Screens: The cockpit display is very nice but it could be brighter. Our test drive was in bright sunlight and it looked washed out at times. The lower screen looked fine, even in bright sunlight.
Wireless phone chargers: both chargers worked in our tester. Even the SA was surprised as he told us they were not yet working. He said the service people were working on them and must got them working.
Regen: I drove mostly in Standard Regen mode which was odd for me since the EQS comes a setting called Intelligent Regeneration which allows the car to coast but will auto brake via region if a slower car is in front or you approach a stop sign or a cross-road. The one pedal driving works as expected in the Gravity but I prefer the Mercedes option.
Visibility: I found the view to be adequate and didn't really notice any issue with the A-pillars.
Fit and finish: The Gravity is a nice looking EV with a good interior but it is not as luxurious as the Mercedes. When we left the Studio to drive home (about an hours drive), the Mercedes feels much more refined and has a better, smoother ride. The Gravity isn't really a luxury car, but it is a very nice car.
So while I realize most on this forum already own a Gravity or have one on order, our test drive today convinced me and my wife that the Gravity is just not right for us. We have another year of warrantee remaining on or EQS SUV so we have time to see what other options may be available. In the end, the test drive confirmed that our Mercedes is an all around better car for our specific needs and wants.
I wish all of you the best!
Hmm...that seems fast. Are you hearing production only takes 10 days? I keep hearing more like 20-23 days to get fully through and ready for delivery. I'd love it if you were right, though. lolI found out my GDE goes into production (AG GDE, 21"/22") Sept 1 and finishes production on Sept 10. That means should have it by the end of Oct '25 - most importantly, before winter sets in.
