Oh! That's good news indeed, given the rather pessimistic assessment I was just making in my post, above yours.

I'm not going to add anything very useful here, just anecdotal observations from an expected, eventual Gravity owner. After three years and 66,000 miles of mostly trouble-free Air GT ownership, I've calculated my real world range to be 350 miles. This number takes into account my weekly 280...

Yes, I was going to add that factoid after posting, but then I got timed out. Yes, approximately $120 K, all the way back in mid-2018. Model X with everything on it except Plaid and FSD (which I bought at a much reduced price later). The depreciation definitely hurt, it still does, now that...

Good for you. The best price I can expect for our 7-year-old Tesla Model X100D, with 124,000 miles on it and 200 miles of real world range (259 EPA rated), is $15K to $16K. That's according to KBB. According to Tesla telemetry, the car's main battery has degraded approximately 10%. I really...

I'm starting to wonder about that. A point of pride of Lucid engineering, especially under Peter Rawlinson, was the small size and light weight of the drive unit. Perhaps in and effort to make their DUs as light and as efficient as possible, Lucid have also succeeded in making them too...

Exactly this. Dashcams of any brand are indispensable for proving $hitty driving like this.

While we're banging on about dash cam systems, after having a Viofo dash cam installed in my Air, I noted with disappointment that the system has the same "blind spots" that the Tesla Dashcam does, right at the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions. In both systems nothing that happens at those...

I ordered my GGT with tech package on August 10th. Apart from one email from my SA in mid-September, updating me that there were no updates, I’ve heard nothing else, nor seen any indication that my order has moved beyond the “ORDERED” phase. Nothing else to do but keep waiting.

Ouch! I had been thinking I was getting off lightly, until I got my auto policy renewal in my email today. That’s a $600 per annum increase. I’ve made only one claim (Comprehensive) in the three years I’ve owned the car. And that comprehensive claim was in regards to replacing my rear...

I’m really sorry to hear this. My Air GT is three years old. After 65,000 miles, nary a squeak, rattle or groan anywhere. And I’m having to drive over some really poorly maintained roads quite regularly. Bank vault solidity is another attribute that separates my Air from any Tesla I’ve ever...

Mine too. Quite disappointed that that colour wasn’t offered on the configuration page.

That IS beautiful. It doesn't look fridge -like at all, which was my fear. I wonder how much further it would set me back if I were to change my order now...

I don't get the the love with the "stealth" look, or the latest fascination with "matte wraps". Both make the cars they adorn look either muddy or dirty. I prefer maximum chrome and dazzling pearlescent shine, a la 1960s Motown or 1970s Toyota and Datsun. Basically I want my ride "pimped...

Or, rather and, here we go again with the “why can’t they do it like Tesla” refrain. Tesla got this one thing right from the very beginning - type in your name, any name, on the upper left corner of the main screen, make your seat, steering wheel and door mirror adjustments, and then press...

Unfortunately I’ve not had a chance to drive the car since doing a “steering-wheel-and-brake-pedal” reboot three days ago. I’ve come down with a really bad cold. I hope to be well enough to get out and about by this weekend.

Let me pile on here. We have the six-row, pass through configuration, but the third row is still tight, suitable only for animals, small children and amputees. At times I wish I hadn't been so wowed by the pedestal captains chairs in the the middle row, and gone with the manual three-seat...

As the author in the article said, "Lucid really, really needs a hit right now". This problem with the key fob, key card, and getting the car in gear, needs to be resolved pronto. No one gets a do-over on "initial impressions", not even our much loved and much vaunted Lucids.

Can this company think of any more ways to sabotage itself…

That’s right. The Model X second row - no armrests, no adjustments, no storage, but lots and lots of road roar.

I downloaded the update remotely last night while my car was parked in a car park west of LAX. When I jumped into my car a few hours later I discovered I couldn't engage Hands Free Autosteer. Also, the car seemed to have lost its ability to stay on track on freeway bends. Very strange...
