Question ,how did they let you keep the test drive over night?

Above all else, it is fun to drive. The '25 is a good model year to target; in addition to the heat pump, the '25 also comes with the upgraded CPU for more responsive UI and supposedly additional features in the future. I see you're in PA, those 19" wheels are a must when dealing with PennDOT's...

...our last kid will be starting college in the fall and will be 270 miles away, so there will be plenty of highway travel as well. I figure the heat pump is just good insurance for battery longevity. I suppose you are correct about AT vs AGT... Still sorting the "must have" vs "nice to have"...

...I do highly recommend it for longer road trips as it’s quite good in those instances. Not sure about your climate but with so few miles a heat pump might not be super critical. You’ll lose range in the winter but I’m not sure if that’s much of an issue given the driving scenarios you’ve...

Welcome to the forum. Charge last 5-6 weeks? Naw...trust me, you will invent excuses to drive the car. My wife is now taking advantage of the fact that I LOVE running errands for her in my Lucid. Just to get out and drive it. I am certain I am not alone in that.

...wasn't interested in the 0-60 fun factor of the AT, too... ;) At the present time, I'm thinking of picking up a 2025 (primarily for the battery heat pump) Air Touring (prolly early next year, let one more year of depreciation take effect) with 19" wheels, upgraded sound system, and a metal...

...to charge on my LCHCS (that I passed along to our tech as well) where charging stopped due to the need to cool. Even though I live in the TX heat, that's never occurred before on either my AGT or GGT. When I went into the garage to check the car, the fans were not running. Normally, I'd...

I know this is the Gravity forum and I have an Air, but FWIW, last August in the Nevada heat, I picked up a nail and quickly lost pressure. Had to pull off the I-15 and in the 115 degree heat I used my Modern Spare kit and had zero issues with the included jack stand and the wrench. The toughest...

If that's the case, it would suggest that STANDARD is slightly more efficient than HIGH.

...simple, as lower voltage (lower regen) is less efficient on certain parts of the deceleration curve, its very minor, but it seems there is more heat generated in the invertor. Apparently the most effective is ramping smoothly to full regen, and then ramping down smoothly to a stop...

From what I can discern, 1PD (HOLD) uses friction brakes for that last few MPH, just like we do manually in 2PD (CREEP). Maybe it gets the timing a little more perfect than we do in CREEP but for the most part it's the same thing. As far as HIGH regen vs STANDARD, I assume that only changes the...

Same for me, but I am pretty sure Lucid stops to 0 without friction brakes, there is a service brake for HOLD that keeps it from moving on hills once you hit zero. I don't use creep so I don't know how it stops without a foot on the brake pedal... Standard just targets a lower deceleration...

Good answers here but wanted to add a SoCal perspective and touch on a few of these. I'm in San Diego and we ended up getting the shades. The Gravity gets a lot of solar gain sitting when out and about and having them helps reduce how much AC you need to run to cool the car (and the cooled...

...and coasting slow with the brake. It conserves momentum. And if it's a longer light and you do need to actually stop Hold keeps the car from rolling if your momentum ceases so the friction brake just isn't needed; therefore, less wasted energy to heat escaping them. What am I missing here??

...where if the seat is in this EXACT position, it squeaks. No other issues otherwise. 5. I live in Alabama and the roof isn’t bad in the extreme heat but it can get hot. 6. The sunshades help quite nicely with the heat that isnt handled by the roof tint. 7 I have ceramic tint on windows and...

...the (extremely good) Lucid sunshades in during the really hot months. They’re perforated, so you still get light and a bit of view, but far less heat. Some people also tint their windshields for better heat protection. I did this on my Air but haven’t felt the need to ok the Gravity. We did...

I believe 2024 GTs have a heat pump, if I recall correctly. Also yes, the chip upgrade can be done later for roughly that amount

Doesn’t the 2024 GT have a heat pump and I can install the info entertainment ship later for $1000 right?

...or alignment problems? Our test vehicle had rear seats that were misaligned. For owners in Southern California or other hot climates: how bad is heat from the glass roof in summer? How effective are the Lucid snap-in roof shades? Is ceramic tint a better solution, or do most people end up...
