Right there still isn't a 'trail' mode on the Gravity yet from a software tuning perspective.... Although I am still in disagreement with most of the crowd on here around this adventure thing.... Audi, BMW and Cadillac who they listed as Lucid competitors have no 6 figure 3 row off-road...

I agree in general, but that doesn't mean there isn't a reasonable money to be made with all the A6s, 3 and 5 series, C, E classes which are all 50K+ otherwise you really can't be a non-boring brand with halo and performance credentials... In other words, if your entire lineup is only boring...

They can certainly just add some all-terrain tire option and flared fenders for a package at way cheaper cost to solve this problem or the 'looks' issue. Total waste of energy for re-engineering the platform to get an extra 3 inches of ground clearance that R1 has, plus lower ratio gears for...

I do think that is a reasonably strategy, move them cheaper is better than a write down of rotting inventory. Assuming all those late builds 2026s are more solid in build quality and the software has largely been stabilized, it will help. Then they can reduce production and trim configurations...

Correct, Software and Service issues are highly visible to customers and make it appear like they are not a health company. Even if they weren't a healthy company, a rock solid experience would cover that up much more. That being said this map is quite illustrative in how many blind spots...

The doors will 'lock' if keys are inside, but you should be able to press the handle if the car is awake and fob is inside. Although for mailbox type scenarios I tend to leave the door cracked open. I accidentally left my fob inside my Air loaner in the garage and pressed the door handles to...

They need to slap down that EV Cayenne...which also costs $250K

The 1.4B is a cash flow gap they found they could cut, not total in inventory, that included many other spending. Probably about 600mm based on a 300mm impairment and 1500 units gap in deliveries vs production...

Yeah my family of 4 and Dad just did a summer vacation, we used UberXXL 4 times each with a minivan for about 80 bucks. I usually also take limo services for business and those are all the luxury 3-row US Full-size SUVs, for $250 now, and they get 12 miles a gallon. Gravity can eliminate all...

Yep, that is what I heard, and any future technology business type capabilities, either motor licensing (mostly Atlas I would guess, BESS)... He also said they need to reduce trim packages potential configs as far as streamlining production and improving quality.

It is a much simpler car compared to Gravity, they may have done the right expectation management thing and giving them opportunity to beat that time. I think no token deliveries in 2026 for sure. For what it's worth, all the videos of the Luce actually driven and moving are pre-pro...

So, you are saying they aren't booking COGS on a vehicle produced in Q2 and sitting on a lot? That doesn't make sense, they can't get revenue but they spent the money. That does sound like the majority of the 1.4B cash flow gap they found to close. CFO just said they had to take an inventory...

Delivered is not production, but yes the company still bears the cost of completed inventory sitting in the lot.

This also includes operating costs of a factory running at 25% capacity, or they are building like hand built Aston Martins instead of the Chinese Dark factory methods...

He did say 30% more service capacity (Hiring technicians) and 30% reduction in wait times, so I do like that they are discussing specific, tangible targets for improvements.

Sounds like a Gravity Sapphire is coming at Monterey...:)

Hard to say here? Maybe pull the main trunk levers to get the seats all the way folded down together? In other words see if you can get the middle and side down together and essentially reset everything and bring it back up together? For example the side seat has to be also up and locked in...

That was the conclusion my family of 4 came to with our competitive test drives. Now there was some heartburn over the Gravity leasing at 2x the Ioniq 9, but the Vistiq in equivalent trim was almost as much as a Touring loaded as well...Our experience with sales and services has also been top...

Yes or hopefully digital rear camera.

Its not just ground clearance, for real off-roading they may have to redesign the motors. R2 has good stall torque for crawling, but will similarity not drive at high speeds well or do anything competitive efficiently. The more off-road cars would need different motor design, or a vastly...
