Ordered the original GT on the day orders opened and switched to a Dream the day those orders opened. But the second Dream was ordered a couple of weeks later, and the sales rep asked for confirmation of both orders today. Don’t know if that means they’ll be built together, though.

The irony is that I may be the only Gravity order holder who was hoping ours wouldn’t be among the first off the line. Oh, well . . . .

Just heard from my sales advisor. Said if I could confirm our orders they would start the build out.

I'm aware of that. However, for people who don't design and conduct tire tests, there is little else objective we can turn to in making tire decisions other than whatever test results we can find. While the long tire discussions we have had on this forum have brought me around to the view that...

I'm not sure this matters much, if at all. From the Tire Rack explanation of UTQG ratings: "The Traction grade, or traction rating, as they are commonly called, is based on the coefficient of friction of a locked (skidding) tire in a straight line on a wet surface. It doesn't evaluate any dry...

As we're getting Gravity Dreams, there is no upcharge for wheel selection. We're getting one with the 22/23" wheels for performance in local driving (year-round in south Florida) and one with the 21/22" wheels for cold-weather roadtripping. This is not as excessive as it may sound. We were...

We do, too, in south Florida (at least once our current drought is over). That's why we're opting for the mid-size wheels on our Gravity road tripper after I saw the wet performance test results for the Hankooks, although I would have liked to get the range the Hankooks deliver.

I think it's going to be a mixed bag. Some things Lucid learned from Air production will probably not repeat. Examples might be the adhesive failures in early Air trim pieces on the trunk and frunk lids, the loss of chrome paint on the night-lit Lucid logo on the leading edge of the frunk lid...

I think that's a real possibility, especially as there is no range advantage with the mid-size wheels over the 22/23" wheels. Of course, that'a assuming the order configurator has the range figure right for the Michelins, something which several of us suspect might not be the case.

It certainly is. That's probably why the Tire/Wheel Discussion thread has gone to 9 pages on this forum. And there were some very knowledgeable / very interested "tire people" on it (@PetevB, @Elfin, @037, @illopp00, et al.) who had a lot to contribute. As many years as I've spent as a layman...

For all the sophisticated suspension engineering in the world, the most important thing of all in driving a car is what is going on at the point the tire patch contacts the pavement. I think it's the most under-rated and under-examined element of vehicle dynamics by a car owner. There is no...

I'm trying to find a source for Chinese tires. Where's the thrill in trying to keep the Gravity under control all the time? 😏

The Pirelli PZ5 on the largest Gravity wheels is a very "square-shouldered" tire that seems to put more of the tread width on the ground, as shown in this short video (1:50):

We're going to trade our Model S Plaid for one of the Gravities, so we may just keep its charge cable unless KBB requires it on the trade.

I went back and looked at this review again, as his comments on the brakes were at odds with what some other reviewers have said, although perhaps few reviewers came at the question with such a race orientation. He did admit at the outset that he does not like one-pedal driving, so I'm...

With the Air Dreams, which had even fewer choices, we got final confirmation calls. Granted, that now seems eons ago, but my sales advisor did tell me yesterday that the plan was still to do a final verbal confirmation of the order configurations for the Gravity. Again looking to the Air...

This is sort of out of left field to this line of discussion, but I've posted elsewhere about all the excitement generated in some quarters by how great and rapidly-evolving Chinese EVs are and my own reservations about Chinese products, especially metallurgy when it comes to cars, and what...

Nope, not my guy. I also didn't get the follow-up response you did. Actually, I was kind of hoping the Dreams wouldn't be the first off the line. I was also hoping our first GDE would arrive long enough before the second one so that we could confirm we liked it enough to replace our Air with...
