    The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

    One more edit to the above (got timed out again). A written review on Tuesday also reported key fob issues with the Gravity that had overtones of the Air key fob mess, something Lucid had assured would be addressed with different hardware in the Gravity. That issue plagued all the early Air...

    The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

    I agree it's probably an easy fix. But my point was twofold: (1) features that you can be fairly certain the press is going to try out should have been checked before turning cars over to the press, and (2) whether easy or difficult to fix, cars at this price point should not be put into the...

    The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

    I think you both need to look again. The table hits a hard stop, not something like a knee. He then spends a couple of seconds looking and feeling behind it trying to find what it is caught on, something he would not have done if it was blocked by his knee. Also, his knee is off to the side...

    The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

    That's good to hear. But I can't help wondering why Lucid staged the event last week with vehicles that still had problems. One of the reviewers who showed a picture of a door panel at least 1/4" out of alignment with the adjoining panel said he asked a Lucid rep about it and was told that the...

    The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

    I'm not one to defend Lucid's marketing/communications strategy. But I lived through the teething pains of an early-production Air and watched in frustration as press and social media filled with complaints about the build quality of what I knew to be one of the best-designed, best-engineered...

    Should I order 5 or 7 seats?

    If many of the people who have reviewed the Gravity are right, customers for the Gravity are going to be people who find its supposed minivan vibe acceptable. And those are exactly the kinds of customers who are probably looking for 3-row accommodations in the first place. The same would...

    The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

    Take a look at this video review from last week's event at the 11:55 mark where a second-row folding table jammed halfway down: And another video from the event commented on the abnormally loud second row seat motors that were also reported from the New York event a couple of weeks back. And...

    The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

    Some of Tuesday's reviews came from the likes of "Motor Trend", "Car & Driver", "The Autopian", and other serious reviewers. The shallowness of the reviews was in some cases more a function of the time and situation limits of the venue than of the limits of the reviewers themselves.

    I may be an outlier on this, but I'm thinking about pulling the decals off the Gravity Dream before the PPF goes on.

    The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

    I've seen this in several areas. I read a review yesterday (don't remember which one) that said the differences between the drive modes was less pronounced, almost to the point of unnoticeable, than in most other cars with adjustable drive modes. Yet several other reviewers found that the...

    The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

    The "Road & Track" review of the Gravity test drive just came up: https://www.roadandtrack.com/reviews/a64504384/tested-2026-lucid-gravity/ However, that's the only significant addition to the press coverage since Tuesday's deluge of reviews. I'm feeling as if a whole bag of Chips Ahoy was...

    The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

    Okay, I know this discussion is aggravating others, but I'm going to throw in one last time and then leave it alone. Of course Lucid is a car company. But here is the post to which I first responded on this point: "The funniest statement in this clip is towards the end, when one of the execs...

    Tire/Wheel Discussion

    Hmmm . . . I had not noticed the warranty difference. As to why, your guess is as good as mine (or perhaps better).

    Tire/Wheel Discussion

    I recently put the Quatrac Pro+ on our Honda Odyssey because I was tired of having no traction from takeoff at stops on wet roads. (The combination of the vehicle's weight, rearward load shift under acceleration, and front-wheel drive can make acceleration traction a real issue.) It's not a...

    Tire/Wheel Discussion

    This tracks the test results from Tire Rack on the Primacies. In fact, of 20 all-season tires tested, the Primacies were among the quietest and had the best wet and dry braking numbers -- by a considerable margin. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/michelin-primacy-tour-a-s The downside is...

    Tire/Wheel Discussion

    The Pirelli PZ5's on the 22/23" Gravity wheels actually have sidewalls slightly taller (0.8" front / 0.3" rear) than on the Air 21" wheels. But the Gravity is heavier, so I don't really know if that would be any hedge against pothole damage. And in Boston you would need both winter wheels as...

    So nothing can be a technology company unless their core business is computing and software. Because computing and software is the only technology. In the "accepted sense". Got it.

    The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

    So what makes companies such as Meta or Palantir technology companies when, by your lights, nothing outside the information or software space is? The fact that their technology centers around computer science? And what makes your extremely narrow definition of technology the "accepted sense"...

    Gravity Owner AMA - 4/5/25, 12PM-2PM PT

    I'm a Luddite. Help me here. I just found a link to this thread in a "Torque News" article. Has Annie's AMA been posted or streamed somewhere that I missed?
