    Choosing gravity GT vs DE

    I am, too. But his impressions from comparing an Air Dream P to an Air GT so closely tracked mine that I'm thinking his opinion on whether the Gravity sees as much difference will be a good proxy for mine in my own decision making.

    Choosing gravity GT vs DE

    It was upon first hearing of the possibility of this order limit that I decided to switch our second Gravity order from a GT to a DE. I wanted to lock in DEs for both of us in the household should we want them. In all honesty, though, I'm hoping get a break on timing here. I'm assuming we are...

    Choosing gravity GT vs DE

    Actually, it was @Kzooguy who first reported hearing about a 450-car limit for the Dream. I suspected it might have been right, as it tracked what Lucid did with the Air: a Dream orders limit of 520 cars that matched the longest range rating of 520 miles (for the Dream Range). The 450 Gravity...

    Okay, I still choose the Air, but…

    In all seriousness, I think yesterday's "Autopian" review of the Gravity said it best when it comes to landing the SUV vs. minivan debate: "The truth is that as SUVs have grown in market prominence, they have become so diverse that the term doesn't really have any meaning anymore. Is a Hyundai...

    Of course, those air dams sit ahead of the front wheels. In the Air, once the front edge of the bumper reaches a curb or parking chock, you're already courting trouble. There's a narrow grayed out band at the front of the car on the birds-eye-view display, probably from where the absence of a...

    The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

    Yeah, the tire data on that spec sheet is a bit of a mess. It's interesting that the Hankook and the Michelin LM1's still have the XL load rating but that the Pirelli LM1 has the newer, higher HL load rating (and this is not an error on the spec sheet) which was first introduced by several...

    Okay, I still choose the Air, but…

    Okay, we're about to drive @borski nuts, but . . . MPV is the abbreviation for "multi-purpose vehicle". Those multi purposes are quite obviously "sport" and "utility", i. e., SUV. See how easy that was? 🙃

    The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

    I know computer and software types like to think theirs is the only technology that matters these days, but they've yet to figure out how to make a vehicle move without a motor or an air conditioner to cool without a compressor or an airplane take to the skies without an engine. Here is what...

    The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

    There are a lot of technologies besides information technology. Lucid's motors, power electronics, headlights, etc. are chock full of cutting-edge technology.

    The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

    Can someone please tell me what the purpose of this feature is . . . unless you're wanting to run the body up over something without hitting the wheels? Oh, wait. I just thought of something: when trying to plant the front left wheel between the rails of the track at the automatic carwash...

    See, I told y'all. It's definitely an SUV, not a minivan: 👅

    The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

    Many automakers do. However, the attention the Gravity got in the auto press in a single day is something very unusual outside, perhaps, of a Tesla model launch: 9 YouTube videos and more than a dozen written reviews, including from heavy hitters such as "Motor Trend" and "Car & Driver". I...

    The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

    No doubt . . . which is why, now that I have an order locked in, I'm ready to cool my jets a bit for Lucid to keep working through its "to do" list. The stock market's going to do with the stock what it will, regardless of delays, press reviews, or almost weekly breathlessly-exciting new...

    The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

    Hmmm . . . I wonder if she was referring to a miniature circuit breaker (MCB)? But getting that term confused with a word such as "diffuser" seems pretty extreme. Then again, she is also the reviewer who said the Gravity is only slightly smaller than a Chevrolet Suburban (which is almost two...

    Gravity [Dream Edition] Reservations Tracker

    Well, I have to say your post of the Tahoe photos a couple of days did lower my resistance. But, then, some of today's videos . . . some pretty bright oranges there. :oops:

    Yeah, I know. My post was a bit tongue-in-cheek.

    Gravity [Dream Edition] Reservations Tracker

    I switched the order for our second Gravity from a Grand Touring to another Dream Edition yesterday: Aurora Green, Tahoe, 21/22" wheels.

    The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

    Okay, it's been a long, exhausting day of press reviews for the Gravity, and I'm really down to the dregs. My German suffices for me to understand enough Dutch to let me (sorta) follow their usually rather good car videos. I just watched one, though, that mostly reminded me that you don't want...
