    Gravity: to Reserve or Not to Reserve?

    We really want a large 3-row SUV, and currently own an EQS SUV. While the EQS is extremely nice and great for road trips, I just don't love it. I'm not excited to drive it and I'm not a fan of the styling. Pros: efficiency, range, luxury, ADAS, and charging speeds. Cons: looks, no front trunk...

    Prices dropped again

    It's only for a limited time and seems to only apply to certain available cars. That puts a Pure AWD slightly above a fully loaded Polestar 2. Unbelievable.

    TIDAL Magic with Dolby Atmos Surreal Sound

    So I found out my car does have Dolby Atmos speakers, but I don't have the software update that enables Atmos. Mercedes hasn't said when the update will be OTA (if ever) so I would need to bring it in to the dealer to get the update. :mad:

    Sliding door gravity?

    I'm okay with sliding doors. Much more practical than the Falcon doors on our previous Model X. Sure they are associated with minivans, but the cross-overs today a really a mix of a wagon, SUV, and minivan. Why not mix the best features of all three. Higher ride height and ground clearance of an...

    TIDAL Magic with Dolby Atmos Surreal Sound

    So I did a little more digging on my EQS. It's not straight forward if my car has Atmos. I can't figure out how to turn it on in the menu, and it doesn't appear next to songs that I have confirmed should be Atmos quality. It may be that only certain EQS SUV have Atmos even though mine does have...

    About to pull the trigger on 18mo 0% Lease

    This is correct. I had the same concern when getting approval for my 18 month lease. Once you get the actual lease documents to sign, it should have the correct payment based on the original 18 month lease deal advertised on their website.

    Gravity Launch

    Can you make the bears pink? I believe someone requested pink polkadots on blue. :)

    Gravity Launch

    Yeah I'm afraid this will be the case. The specs and prices for the various trim levels will be one of the deciding factors for us. I'm good with putting down a refundable deposit, but if it's out of our price range, or doesn't have the specs we want, I would like to move on and consider another...

    No audio

    This is the only issue I've had with my car. I found switching between audio source (CarPlay to Bluetooth to radio) sometimes brings it back on. However, I've had to use the full reset a couple of times.

    Gravity Launch

    I asked the Lucid account on Threads, and didn't get a response. Do we think they will release all of the prices and specs for the various trims? Or will this be a high level reveal with those details to come later?

    need new insurance company

    I'm paying $964 / 6 months at State Farm. The Lucid is cheaper to insure than our Mercedes EQS. I was quite surprised.

    Gravity Launch

    I really hope they start accepting trade-ins when the Gravity launches. I pay 9% sales tax and get to offset the trade-in value. So even if they low ball for our Mercedes EQS, I would still need to get more than 10% more on the open market to make it a better deal financially, but I would need...

    Gravity Launch

    I don’t think wrapped trim would look as good as the stealth trim on our Air. Plus wrapped trim doesn’t hold up that well in my experience. We had the chrome trimmed blacked out on our Model X and it had a bunch of small nicks and damage after three years.

    Gravity Launch

    I really want a stealth Gravity. My fear is they will only offer the stealth package later and I'll need to delay my initial order until it becomes available.

    TIDAL Magic with Dolby Atmos Surreal Sound

    Correct. But after spending some time setting up play lists and liking the Tidal interface more than Apple Music, it at least allows me to use it else where. Even the Sonos system in our house.

    TIDAL Magic with Dolby Atmos Surreal Sound

    I just found out that Tidal plays through CarPlay in our Ioniq 5. So now we can use it in all three vehicles. Built in app for the Lucid and EQS, and through CarPlay for the Ioniq. That makes it a lot more appealing.

    TIDAL Magic with Dolby Atmos Surreal Sound

    😜I know. I just feel like all of the subscriptions today are death by a million cuts.

    TIDAL Magic with Dolby Atmos Surreal Sound

    Wow! Just experienced Tidal for the first time in the Lucid. Much better than expected. I'm not an audiophile, but I was thoroughly impressed. I used to think the Burmeister system in our EQS SUV was the best sound system I've experienced in a vehicle, but Lucid's SSPro is noticeably better...

    EVs aren't working according to Auto Execs

    EV sales are still strong. It's the rate of increasing sales has slowed down. The vast majority of EV options today are still more expense than the average buyer can afford, especially with current interest rates. So we might see a bit of a plateau around 20-30% market share until lower cost...

    Lucid Gravity getting ready for Prime Time

    A lot of cars/SUVs have very similar lines and styles, but it's the subtle differences that make them really unique, look more premium and worthy of exclusive brands. For example many have compared the Mazda CX30 to the Ferrari Purosangue because they do have a similar look, but the Ferrari has...
