The dream edtion already bit it. Not everyone buy vechile because of the brand os expensive .
this was over a year ago so I'm shocked they were able to get in the car twice in a row with no fob issues

A couple days ago I was on a two lane road out in the sticks and there was a slow car ahead of me and a straightaway coming up. I lined things up and punched it (was probably doing about 40 to 50 MPH). I passed and pulled back into the lane and looked quickly down at the dashboard and it said I was going 112MPH. Holy smokes, that was quick. I quickly got off the accellerator and slowed down a bit (there were corners coming up tooI love Hagerty’s production. They make great videos.

Had to pass 2 slow semis in the middle of nowhere in my AT. Stepped on it still in smooth mode and by the time I was just getting in front of the 2nd one, I saw my speed at 125. It's nuts what Lucids can do.A couple days ago I was on a two lane road out in the sticks and there was a slow car ahead of me and a straightaway coming up.

According to @037's data in this post Is Lucid nerfing power output?:#71, your acceleration run took around 5.5 seconds.A couple days ago I was on a two lane road out in the sticks and there was a slow car ahead of me and a straightaway coming up.

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!The article it links has been removed but Autoweek posted this (and it still shows in Google search results if you search Lucid Gravity GT-S):

Sounds like they're just making more Dream Editions without the name/numbering.
It feels like they came up with something real quick to show off as an actual concrete product though. If it doesn't have its own paint color (not a wrap), and some other visual queue, I will assume its a debadged Dream Edition so they had something to show for the car show. Which is arguably better than nothing.Big yawn. Take a Dream Edition and strip down some features but add in some blue paint. Replace the Dream badge with a GT-S one. The good news is that Lucid appears to have not waisted any engineering time (that needs to stay focused on Cosmos development and Gravity/Air refinement). With very little investment, Lucid can get a little press attention now (especially with Cosmos delay) and maybe add just a few extra Gravity sales to the “I must have the baddest ass model for bragging rights” and give them some blue eye candy to prove their purchase. Interesting that they kept HP 15 below Dream to keep from pissing of the original Dream buyers.
Yeah I have to say I’m underwhelmed on this one.Big yawn. Take a Dream Edition and strip down some features but add in some blue paint. Replace the Dream badge with a GT-S one.

Totally agree. Would rather have seen them introduce an updated 27 Air and streamline models/options in the Air and Gravity. They need sales not niche cars. People should also be able to order their cars too if they are not going to streamline options more. That has not been available for the Air in a while, as far as I know.Yeah I have to say I’m underwhelmed on this one.
A ‘lower’ entry point of $127k? And it doesn’t include all options? I don’t see this moving the needle on sales. And it definitely does nothing to enhance the image of Lucid in the eyes of 99% of buyers for 7-seat capable SUVs. Lucid remains as a niche for enthusiasts with this version.
A production launch for Gravity X on the other hand would have expanded sales to a much larger pool of buyers.
This appears to be an overnight model; we aim to signal a cosmos delay while demonstrating action. Please head to the whiteboard, add color, remove options, and label it—voilà, a new car, and we performed well.Totally agree.

My wife wanted an SUV. I wanted a fast car that handled incredibly well.I love Hagerty’s production. They make great videos.

Nah, that didn’t go into my decision to buy the Gravity at all. Totally not about having fun on my solo drives, where I mentally say “punch It” (fellow fans will get the reference) before hitting the accelerator. Nope, it was all about making my wife happy that we have a luxurious, family road tripping, cargo hauling monster.

Wow this is underwhelming. It’s a Dream Edition with blue calipers and bears on exterior and blue stitching on the inside.
Where is the differentiating paint color, wheel design, interior?

I don’t really understand the disappointment? It’s essentially the same as the GT-P (in flavor), except the GT-P was more expensive than the DE.
