In Houston I recommend Sal’s Auto Sport (Hwy 290 near Beltway 8). They were recommended to me by a friend who is a manager at Discount Tire. I had a Mercedes AMG that the dealer screwed up alignment after small fender bender and they got it dead on. Since repair would not be under warranty...

Engineering and performance aside, the Luce looks like a $60K Honda EV. The only way that Ferrari will sell them is to require buyers who want one of the more desirable special edition cars to first buy one of these.

Yeah, Buccee’s are a godsend to EV charging here in Texas (where they originated). My wife took the Gravity to San Antonio last week and was worried about finding charges on the drive. I told her to just stop at one of the two huge Buccee’s along the route. No need to learn how the route...

Houston service center is extremely understaffed. Your best bet is to contact Corporate Customer Service.

Gravity has NFC/UWB combo based on same system as in BMW. Gravity had significant key fob issues at launch and although significantly improved, still has some issues. Still waiting to see how PAAK via Apple Digital Key will work with Gravity but the extended delay in releasing PAAK makes me...

I have 3 and 5. Also came out to garage once a week ago to find rear window down. Also, this past weekend we went to San Antonio for family graduation celebration. I parked the car in a garage but car would lock but not power down. Head lights stayed on, mirrors stayed out, dash stayed on...

Of note - He really likes the software!! (Which to be fair, I really like as long it is working) So I guess this was not a very long term review, which would have given time for the software gremlins to pop up. He also implied that the frunk seat came included and when talking about things...

These fees (in principle) are designed to make up for the gas tax that we EV owners are not paying to support highway maintenance/construction. In principle, I am OK with paying our “fair share”. But in many EV unfriendly states like here in Texas, the yearly fee is above what I would have...

Go ahead. If you are planning to put them on your mother-in-laws car. 🤣

Don’t dismiss BYD. I was in Jordan a couple months ago (left a couple days before Trump started his little war). Since Jordan is not oil rich, EVs are very popular and heavily supported. I saw tons of BYDs. Probably the most common new (less than 3 year old) car that I saw on the roads. The...

I can only comment on Mercedes. They have a base Burmester (no extra cost) and then an upgraded 3D Burmester that is a $5K upgrade. To my ears, SSP is significantly better than the base Burmester and at least on par with the $5k upgraded Burmester. I agree that Lucid should be close to...

I somewhat agree with most of your post except Audio System. I fine SSP better than the high option Burmester in my previous Mercedes. Traditional ICE luxury cars are still working to get Hands-free ADAS (BMW-Yes, Mercedes-No, Cadillac -Yes) as well as PAAK is not universally adopted yet. I...

I spent 3 1/2 weeks in a loaner Mercedes GLS 450 that although solid and reliable, was boring. Drives like a truck, transmission was jerky, infotainment was a little hard to navigate. But it is solid and reliable, has excellent dealer and service network, and you will never worry about if my...

Is there any reason you avoided using any Tesla SCs? Would have vastly improved your charging options and reliability issues.

Those likely to buy Touring will be less likely to go big on options.

I have a fully optioned Gravity (non DE) and do not have anywhere near the number of issues as HMP10. No, my GGT is not problem free but issues are more in the mildly irritating. I would be willing to bet that my experience is closer to the norm for most owners.

Another possible sign of possible progress in service. Follow up on my previous post above. Showed up for my noon appointment at Houston Service Center. When I showed up there was a rep waiting for me in lobby with clipboard with my name at the top. Took my keys and was repaired in less than...

I use proximity lock/unlock on my Gravity. Since the December software update that had major fob/locking updates, the proximity unlock has been 100% reliable. The proximity lock functionality however has been about 97% functional. Just this morning I parked in a parking garage and started...

Sorry, did not mean to get pissy. I guess your only option is to use Google Maps via CarPlay/AA. Only problem is that due to Apple constraints, CarPlay is locked to upper screen. Currently, Lucid is facing so many other software challenges right now, I do not see them spending much time on...

The problem you are very much in the minority. ADAS is coming hard and all automakers are working overtime to keep up. This is the future you need to accept or crawl back in your cave.
