- Lucid Gravity Touring
Hi all. I have been lurking here for a while and learned a lot from the content. I took the plunge and leased at Gravity Touring last month. I thought I would share some experiences and perspectives. Overall, I am very happy that I made the decision to get this car!
Before the Sale
I visited the Westchester, NY mall showroom / store - it was a very easy experience. I was a little apprehensive about stopping in, fearing they would pester me and/or that I wouldn't be able to explore the car. They let me look around at my leisure. I asked if I could take a test drive - and they arranged one; unsupervised. Was a very good experience. The test drive made me even more interested in the car.
The next day, I selected my car off of the website - and placed the deposit.
The sales process was different than a "regular" dealership. There were a few rounds of back and forth on details like pick up date, getting trade assessed, getting information to Lucid for registration transfer etc. It all worked out just fine, but having a separate phone call or email to take care of each step kept me wondering wondering what's next. It turns out that my sales consultant was new as well - so that may have been part of the dynamic.
Delivery
I took delivery at Plainville NY. The process was very easy, and there was a thorough explanation of the key features. The car had been cleaned/detailed nicely. The only issue was the rep said I could put my ez-pass anywhere, and that wasn't true. There's a separate thread on the forum about where to place EZPass. I can affirm that the EZpass was not recognized when just randomly on the windshield, and that it works just fine in the area with the very subtle pattern.
The key fob did not have the latest software; I updated the day after delivery. It has worked well the entire time.
The car
The car is a 2026 touring, 7-passenger, tahoe leather, luxury seating, DDPro with Tech pkg. I wouldn't have ordered DDPro if I had done a custom - build. The available cars with the features I wanted all had DDPro - and I'm actually really glad that I have it. It is very useful on the highway!
The base model stereo is fine, I would call it solid, but not amazing.
The heads-up display is not good - it's distracting, not adjustable enough for me (I'm tall and I can't get it positioned where it would it would be more visible). I've shut it off for now.
Everything else about the car has been awesome. Love the leather, the seat comfort, etc.
Road-trips
The day after I took delivery, I departed on a 1500 mile road trip. Charging at Tesla superchargers worked very well. I had one instance where it would not initiate a charge. I moved to the next stall and everything was fine. Also used Chargepoints at hotels along the way, and an Electrify America charger.
I consistently achieved 250 miles of usable range. I never let the battery get below 15%, and would charge back to 80% or a bit higher. That included me driving 75 - 80 on interstates with 70 mph speed limit. It felt like efficiency / range drops off at 70 mph, and REALLY drops off above 75 mph. I was nervous that I would feel like I was missing out by not having the extra capacity of the grand touring, but that hasn't been the case so far.
Home Charging
I had a ChargePoint HomeFlex installed - and that has worked well so far (only a few days in, but so far so good!)
Glitches
Only a couple of very minor things I've noticed so far. There have been a couple of times when I've used siri via carplay to send a text. After sending the text, the music i had been listening to doesn't come back. Have been able to get it back by changing input to a different source and then back.
The heads-up display has turned itself off (when I was trying to use it)
The range display switched itself from % of battery remaining to rated # of miles of range on its own.
Bottom line
I've driven 2000 miles in the first two weeks of having the car and love it! I'm really glad I made the swtich. Have had multiple people ask me about it while charging (and once at a red light).
Hope this is helpful for anyone thinking about getting a gravity!
