To compare the top trim Volvo EX90 with options is ~$30k more expensive than base in Europe. AFAIK they don't offer single motor version in the US, so you should have smaller spread for it

I will be so much happy to be able to chose any or at least most of these items independently! Because I clearly see that my priorities are heavily different to quite a few others at this forum, and I'm most likely not alone: for example I don't care about rear wheel steering, will be ok with...

I still can't find acceptable excuse why many car manufacturers continue their attempts building their own part of the entertainment system. Ironically sometimes it comes with admitting "we understand we can't compete for passengers entertainment with well known leads in this area, so here is...

All XC90 are either mild or plug-in hybrids now. They are on SPA platform, that is also used in XC60, V60, V90, S60, S90. EX90 is based on another platform: SPA2, that is also used in Polestar 3.

This is EX90 front area. Everything under this area is just empty space. No, it is not full of sensors, it is just empty space there under plastic cover. Could that be used for bigger frunk? Sure! Why it was not done? Because of lazy engineering...

... saying at the same time "we've designed our BEV platform from ground up" ...

The same do EU. Actually more, because they also include pedestrian safety (that makes it impossible for Tesla Cybertruck to pass European tests) It has better score than Ford Edge on Euro NCAP.

I can't understand what most car manufacturers do to be so space inefficient even making BEVs. Here is a 10 years old car, ICE car, with 3 rows. Yes 3rd row is very tiny, however this car is shorter than even Tesla Model 3!

You are 100% right. And it is for sure that neither EV9 nor EX90 will provide comparable interior space. Maybe EQS SUV will, I don't know. Just for European market the overall size is critical, so these cars are in the same category: large SUV. Nobody would buy a bigger personal car in Europe...

Porsche has a lot of sales also globally however, 8,838 Taycans sold in 2024 globally as result. How many Airs sold outside of the US? European market has significantly different requirements: Gravity is _large_ SUV for Europeans; comparison with Cadillac Escalade IQ doesn't make sense as it...

For me Gravity will compete with Kia EV9 and Volvo EX90: they all have almost identical length, all 3 row EV. EV9 seems to be cheaper. EX90 should have comparable price, comes from established brand (and has nice things like Android Automotive). Sure Gravity will have better range, but EV9 and...

According to this Gravity will use UWB so won't be vulnerable to relay attack: https://lucidowners.com/threads/michigan-lucid-owners-rally-updates.10062/

That should be UWB. Cool!

That's why several the very latest cars have mobile key implementations using UWB, not BT: UWB allows the care to precisely locate the key or the phone, and it is not possible to relay UWB signal (ok, let's say "it's practically not possible with current technologies). AFAIK Air does not use...

Makes sense. Unless they will have enough orders at the beginning even without Pure. Especially that ramping up production to higher scale won't be instant

Yes, every manufacturer overreports the speed because they are obliged to never underreport. It's only the question about "how much?". Some just put quite a big buffer to not care. And this is especially annoying as all new cars sold in EU have to have speeding warning enabled by default. So...

AFAIK Tesla automatically calibrates its speedometer using GPS to show exact speed, not more. Would be good if other would do that... Those who live in countries with zero speeding tolerance :)

It's 3 times bigger than the one I've showed: yours have inner circle diameter 45 meter comparing to 14 meter I've showed. Here they are at the same scale:

Digital Car Key requires UWB for passive unlock. It is the right technology for this usage, but it is relatively new technology. All recent iPhones support it, but only a few Androids have it (mainly Pro Version of Pixel and Samsung). I guess Lucid decided to go (or even had to go) with what was...

Unlocking a car shouldn't rely on communication with any server. It would be clearly bad design if it does.
