Mercedes EQB currently sold in the USA with 7 seats as an option. EQB overall length is 184.4" Model Y overall length is 187"

I'm not an owner, just considering Gravity for now ...

I currently have a car that is slightly shorter than Model Y and still has 3rd row. Of course the 3rd row is not good enough for a tall adult to seat in a long trip. That's ok, it's not expected: it is expected to be very occasionally used when short adults or older kids will be sitting there...

It is also technically possible to share the SoC to the navigation app over Android Auto: https://blog.google/products/android/android-auto-new-features-ces24/ Of course this functionality should be implemented in the car to work.

I hope competing with Model Y will also mean 7 seater option.

If they will implement AA properly with full functionality: * if AA maps will be able to show navigation information on the instrument panel * if AA maps will have access to the car status, so AA maps will be able to navigate you trough chargers taking into account SoC

Totally agree. I actually have a car with a small steering wheel and the instrument panel above it. It's very convenient, works very well. My wife and I tried quite a few cars with HUD, including new cars trying to do some kind of augment reality navigation, and found several issues with them...

Yes, it is simple. And regen is definitely good thing for case where you'd engage friction breaks instead - when you need to slow down significantly. It's not so simple when increased the speed and now just want to come down to your cruising speed and continue: your goal is not just to slow down...

It is less efficient in modern ICE vehicles to switch to neutral when coasting: when you are coasting on a gear then electronics stops injecting the fuel into cylinders completely for economy, but when you switch the gearbox to neutral then it has to inject some fuel to keep the engine running...

Some cars have adaptive one pedal option now, MEB platform from VW group for example: they use radar, camera and maps data to figure out what to do: to coast or to do regenerative breaking (and how much). That should be the most efficient option if works properly. I tried it in Škoda Enyaq a...

If Gravity will be AAOS with GAS in addition to everything else they've showed it will be no questions favorite for me.

It is not a problem to have Android Automotive based entertainment system with completely own design: examples are mentioned above. Actually, according to this post Lucid Air entertainment system is already on Android Automotive, they just decided to cut the possibility to chose navigation...

Volvo announced earlier this week they will OTA upload the new UX (something similar to what they've shown in EX90 and the new XC90) also to older cars.

Important to clarify that it's not just about HERE Maps vs Google Maps. On the Android Automotive based entertainment system you are not limited to Google Maps, you can use whatever you want: Google Maps, HERE Maps, Waze, ABRP, you name it

Just to clarify "Volvo Car B" is publicly traded company, where majority of stocks is held by "Geely Holding". So they are China owned more or less as much as Lucid Motors is Saudi Arabia owned.

Or Android Automotive. You can just build all of your car entertainment system on Android Automotive. Yes, with as many screens as you want. Yes, you'll have Google Assistant integrated. Yes, also Google Maps. You don't like Google Maps? Sure, just install your lovely HERE Maps fro the play...

For me the space efficiency is one of the very first arguments in favor of Gravity. EX90 has many issues. They say they built it on a completely new electric-only platform, and somehow they managed to made it worse than XC90. Everyone says their 3rd row is a joke. My current car has very limited...

I'm sorry for that! I just think Air and Gravity have significantly different target audience, and noticeably different priorities as result.

True. I'd be also happy with this, but honestly very pessimistic about it to be implemented. It's actually even technically possible to show navigation information to driver's display from Android Auto. (Almost?) no car manufactures have implemented this ...

Yeah I understand it's some kind of "side effect", not the main goal in this case. And at the same time understand why they always show this cool frunk and not talk abut dynamics of Gravity: I expect for main users of Gravity dynamics will be somewhere close to the end of the list: "Oh, it's...
