For premium products like Air and Gravity, marketing a lifestyle is the correct approach. They both realistically have marginally better utility than cars that are far cheaper. The same can be said for any offering from ultra premium car brands. Marketing utility on mass market vehicles like...

Looks sharp! Thanks for sending

Congrats! A little off topic, but do you have any more pics you can share? I've been having trouble finding any pics of the white/stealth with the mid-sized wheels.

Was the car outside in the heat before you got in? For shorter trips AC will have an outsized impact as it works to cool down the car.

My guess is yes because they're trying to move towards a subscription model. For all we know the base price for the Gravity may increase to accommodate this extra hardware. I wouldn't jump to conclude you're getting the short end of the stick. If you hadn't gotten the package when you got the...

Thank you all for your input! Just to close the loop here, I'm going to go with the 20"/21" wheels, but don't plan on using the stock all seasons. Will do PZ4s in the summer with Vredestein Wintrac Pro+ in the winter.

At this point their only potential catalysts over the next 6 months are (1) reveal of Cosmos with a clear production timeline, (2) meaningfully improved margins in Q3/Q4, (3) commencement of robotaxi service, (4) release of point-to-point on Gravity. None of those things are happening in at...

My guess is the upfront purchase option for DDPro2 will get removed for the 2028 MY Gravity (correspondingly, all Gravity will have DDPro2 hardware) and there will be no upfront option for Cosmos at launch. I highly doubt they'd make you pay for a subscription service if you've already purchased...

At this point a lot of folks won't drive something without FSD/FSD equivalent, but with Tesla only offering the 3 and Y, I'd imagine many are willing to give up automatic city driving for more luxury, comfort, speed and practicality. Based on the video, it seems like Kim's husband is in the...

I think there will always be demand for a seven-seater SUV. A large sedan, perhaps less so. I'd expect they ultimately update the Gravity down the line so that it's essentially an extended version of the midsize platform to keep costs down. So somewhat like Tesla's MYL, but hopefully with much...

I'm in NY and sales tax has always been added to my monthly lease payments. However, for Lucid I was required to pay it all upfront.

I have to say, I really like the R2 but the range on it is rough. Being in the Northeast, driving with any pace in the winter (e.g. when I go skiing) will result in very underwhelming range. I really was considering it, but between that and the mediocre charging rate it's kind of a non-starter...

Right, but it should help with braking performance because less heat should be generated by the brakes each time you use them.

I just want to make sure my understanding of Lucid's braking strategy is correct: While hitting the brake pedal does not engage regenerative braking, it doesn't disengage it either. In other words, if you have high regen on and you hit the brakes, you're now combining max regen with whatever...

Probably raising capital after Cosmos release. Bad time to raise when stock price is this low.

I like it. Not for me but seems like good car to be driven in.

The Air struggles at higher speeds on curves. It'll just stop turning. That said, I tend to drive 10-15 over. If you stick to the speed limit it generally does ok on the sharper curves.

Guess I was on point here!

This timeline sounds right to me. I don't disagree that FSD 14 is a lot better than FSD 12. My point was that they progressed quickly once FSD 12 was released, and new tools allow them to progress even quicker today.
