I have a confirmed order on an Air GT and am wait listed (Sept 2021) to order the 580. As a retiree I have had tons of time for research and decision making. My conclusion: Both are excellent choices, choose the one you like best. For me the overriding factor was the Air bi directional...

That sounds about right. In my home if I only use essential items like lights, tv, computers, fans, refrigerator/freezer…..no AC, electric dryer, etc, I run about 1.1 kilowatt per hour. So the Air would provide about 4 days of power during a blackout if I minimize usage to essential items only.

It depends on your power company programs for solar power buy backs. I have not seen a plan where the power company would buy back without the home having solar, but check with your power company. If they have such a program it may not be worth it given your new equipment costs and how much...

I am in a similar situation to you with the exception of having a solar power system with a small battery backup for short term outages; hence, I already have the cut off capability. Spoke to a friend at a company developing a bi directional home charger, all companies are waiting on final...

When I had a hybrid I would hypermile that all the time and was easily able to exceed EPA. For the most part it consisted of rolling a lot when approaching lights, stop signs, no other traffic etc. to let that small battery recharge. When accelerating in the city or less traveled roads I would...

For about 4 years now we've been wanting an EV. As current S Class owners we wanted luxury. Tesla just hasn't gotten to the level of luxury we wanted, so we decided to wait. And wait we have as Tesla still isn't quite to our minimum requirements for a luxury vehicle. As Texas residents we...

I was told about the new communications system on April 12 and was given an exact date for VIN assignment of May 23. I took it with a grain of salt, but I'll know in about 11 days if was accurate. Stay healthy!

My current GT status is waiting on VIN assignment. Currently driving an S Class, bought new in 2015. Also had an S Class before that, and a Lexus LS before that. With the Air GT I am out of ICE game for many reasons, one of which I consider the Air GT a luxury car. I would have bought a...

Wow...now that's upselling at its finest! Would love to know the thought process from Pure to GT...then GT to GT-P. Was the car features that drove the upgrades? Influence from this board or elsewhere? Quicker delivery?

GT ordered awaiting VIN. Only been on this forum a little less than two months and have probably read EVERY post. Current MB S Class owner with an EQS reservation; when request for an EQS order comes or a GT VIN number comes then the EQS reservation gets cancelled. With all that I have no...

Couldn't agree more with you!! Well said. At 6'4", 290 with athletic knees and a low ride I anticipate my ingress/egress technique will need to be modified. Who knows, this might be the incentive I need to lose weight! I had assumed if it was problematic I could replace it with the Gravity...

My 2015 MB S Class has it and I love it. When the GT arrives I will miss the HUD.....one of several small sacrifices I will make to get all the benefits associated with the GT.

Lived in Middlesex County from college days in the '70s to retirement 13 years ago. I was an Exit 9 guy if I was going North, and an Exit 8A guy when going South. I always thought of Middlesex County as Central Jersey. Now I'm a North Texan (assuming DFW is North Texas) with a confirmed GT...

Great review and thank you for responding to all the questions. I have a Black GT on order awaiting VIN assignment, went with the 19” wheels for comfort and range. I have a 4+ hour drive from home to the nearest Lucid facility, so I ordered without seeing or getting in the vehicle. In a post...

I am a technical trader rather than an investor in any company. I have never owned LCID, but have frequently traded TSLA, and to a lesser extent NIO, and to a lesser extent XPEV. I've been largely out of the market since the second week of January, though I did test the waters about a month...

Your comment prompted me to reach out to Lucid and request information I can provide my electrician to prepare for the vehicle. I explained I would have solar panels, battery storage in garage, would use Lucid battery to power home only in severe multi-day power outage, and would have ability...

Yeah, that's my bad. I started using the term Wunderbox Bi-Directional Charging and over time I shortened it to Wunderbox....I need to change that. Wunderbox is in the car now and can handle bi-directional once it is available.....Lucid Wall Charger is not yet available (estimated 3Q of 2022)...

UPDATED AS OF APR 14, 2022 Neighbor cracked rim on a 21" S Class wheel so I decided to modify the order from a 21" inch wheel to a 19" wheel. Was told switching was not a problem as there are plenty of 19" wheels available so change should not affect delivery date; informed official...

Thanks for your research on this, I look forward to any feedback you get from your DA....I will ask my DA the same questions in 10 days. Similar to you, I am in Dallas. Currently planning on Home Delivery. What were your primary reasons for Houston Service Center Delivery? My GT is: 3/9/22...

Just sent you some questions...then came upon this post where you covered things. Thank you!
