Took 2K mile road trip, now looking to sell Gravity

Oh yes, I get what you're saying. I am talking driving dynamics here though. There is no doubt that the Gravity is a nicer riding vehicle...it is probably the best I have ever driven, but she is a big car, granted it does not drive nearly as big as it actually is, which is a credit to the engineering, but it still feels bigger that my Plaid.
The Plaid is also a big car, but it also does not drive like a big car. Best description I ever heard was its like bringing a big girl to the dance, but if you lead her well, she can dance....Im sure I could lead the Gravity just fine, but it would be a little more work, to me, is all I'm saying.
I also know fun is a relative term, even for me on a day to day basis, but in this context, I can throw the plaid around almost like a big go cart, with the Gravity, I'm defiantly driving a "car".

I mean no disrespect in that sentiment; it's just my feelings about it.

I have lots of track time in many different cars, so I certainly understand what you are saying.
No need to apologize for defending your opinion. What is "fun to drive" is subjective by nature. Just because reviews say that a Lucid drives better than a Tesla does not make it a fact.

Tesla's get a lot of bashing in this forum but they are certainly fun to drive and have the most linear mapping for an accelerator that I've ever experienced. I love that. They also have a way of feeling smaller than they are. Again, this is my opinion. Others are allowed to disagree and I totally get where you coming from with preferring the feel of a vehicle that "drives" smaller.
 
I would take less than $100K, that's just what I told them to see how close they would come.
As far as tax and tag and all of that, I would not be collecting any, but the jurisdiction where it gets registered to the new owner will want some money lol
Ah didn't know it works like that in the states. So your 100k offer /minimum is net pricing :)
Understand.
 
Why not creating a thread in marketplace maybe there is one viable option to sell to forum member?
 
100%. I even do a quick detail on my rental cars, get the stuff out of the cracks, clean the glass, etc. I wouldn’t even feel right taking a loaner Lucid though an auto wash, and none of my cars (except my old truck and Tesla…) have been in an automatic brush wash. Even though I’m not happy with Lucid, I always return the loaner in better condition than I got it (if possible) and ready to be loaned out right away.
Thats good Karma

I might....but that is kind of like really committing lol
 
You can still say no haha 😂
 
No, at least Lucid doesn't advertise it as such. You may be able to take your hands off the wheel for short amounts of time before the system bugs you or disengages.

Last weekend we took a trip from Silicon Valley to Calabasas and back in our Gravity with DD Pro, updated to 3.6. We mostly took 101.

On the sections of 101 that are not limited access, the system would disengage at every intersection. It gave very little notice most of the time, other times it gave advance notice but then didn't disengage. Weird. The disengagement wasn't a problem for me as I kept at least one hand on the wheel at all times just to be safe and the disengagement seemed to keep speed control set. For truly hands free driving I would think they'd want to have not just more time on the notice, but also to really wake you up that you need to take over (or maybe it sensed I was holding the wheel?).
It also disengaged without notice when there were construction cones, even if they were not in lanes. Again, the transitions were smooth, but if I hadn't had a hand on the wheel that might not have been so good.

As everyone says, FSD is far superior that what Lucid has now, and the pre-mapping is a failure mechanism as it won't have all construction zones on the map so it has to figure out what's going on anyway, so let it always figure out what's going on and react, as Tesla does.

That said, we're far more comfortable taking long trips in the Gravity versus our previous Model Xs, even without FSD. The quietness of the cabin is probably the main thing here, but massaging seats are helpful, too. The lumbar support is better, the interior materials are far better. Due to the large A-pillars, visibility isn't as good around curves, though. And for local driving, especially mountain roads, the Gravity wipes the floor with the X.

My partner and I are looking forward to carving it up in the Gravity, on the mountain road between Grand Lake and Lake Estes CO, this July.

It was a chore in our Model X several years ago, but a hoot in my Air GT last year.
 
So, after a LOT of talking and deliberating, we have decided to sell the Gravity.

I will post it on this forum within the next few days. I'm still waiting for the title lien to be taken off by Chase Bank. Once that happens.

I'm open to still discuss of course.

For transparency, Cavanna says they are still working on it on their end. I told them I want $100K, but I know there is no way that is going to happen.
I have only received two, halfway credible offers, MYEV @$81K and Car max offered me $83K. My EV has a counteroffer email, but I have not responded with a serious number yet as I want to see what happens here and give time to get title in my hand.
All others have either declined or came in under $50K lol

Once again, thank you everyone for the stimulating conversations.
 
Never heard of them, thank you. Ill give them a try
What kind of offer did Ever give you? They are EV only and I hoped their extra knowledge and market would be helpful...

I have emailed with Andrew several times but he can't get their apraisel software to recognize the vin...he is also still working on it...I guess.
 
Alset -
I am very interested in your Gravity - Please PM me when you have the chance -

I'll hit you up when I get home...forgot my glasses and can't see too good on my phone
 
Hey man, try to sell it to someone here at a reasonable price; help another member out. Typically, I see members listing their price 20k more than Carvana/CarMax offers, then turning around and selling to CarMax/Carvana because no one wants to purchase their overpriced gravity. 5 to 10k over is fair. Just food for thought. Lose-lose for everyone in the end.

Completely agree and understand. This will be where it will get sold I'm sure. Honestly, I would keep it before selling to Carvana at their price lol
I don't want to break any forum rules, but we actually came up with a bottom-line number that we think is really fair, especially since we have had all the tint. PPF, and ceramic coating done.
I mean I know that doesn't add value for a lot of people, but its there all the same lol

As soon as Chase Bank clears the title lien, I will post it in the Market place forum

Really looking forward to your marketplace thread :)

It sounds like what you are looking for is something smaller and more stiffly sprung given your background. The X plaid being their extreme performance model, suspension tuning is definitely more on the aggressive side, while the Gravity is tuned more neutrally for all-around comfort and performance. The MX is also more of a true 5 seater with a fake 3rd row with the Gravity more comparable to a full-size SUV
 
Just an update, Chase bank is supposed to release the lien Wednesday (07/15), so I will be creating an ad in the marketplace to see if there is any interest before I start seriously negotiating with the "Carvana" types...

Wonder if there would be any harm in going ahead and creating the ad a few days early??
 
Well I went ahead and posted the market place add, I welcome any insights or critiques

 
Wow that looks like a fully loaded Gravity (except for towing). Nice pricing.
