    Rivian hits nearly 1,000 deliveries in 2021

    The Rivian forums are flooded with lots of deliveries. Honestly they seemed to have ramped up really fast in the past month or two. Also lots of people getting delivery dates for the next couple of weeks. I originally thought I would have my Lucid way before my Rivian. Now I'm not so sure. They...

    This is getting really frustrating. I directly asked my DA about changing the interior and/or exterior color and was told it would delay my order. This was last Friday. I'm a Nov 15th confirmation with Grey / Santa Cruz.

    Air Dream Deliveries?

    You're right. I remembered it differently. Glad you pointed this out. Says a lot about the Lucid Air to compete with the Taycan in terms of handling.

    Air Dream Deliveries?

    I believe Jason said the Taycan drove slightly better, but it wasn't worth the trade-off in space, rear leg room, and range. The Taycan is a remarkable driving experience, but it has terrible rear seats, and the range is mediocre. It does look amazing however.

    Lucid Air Roof Rack

    Depends what is on the rack. My aerodynamic Skiguard roof box on our E-tron is about a 5-7% hit on range. The exposed ski rack with 5 sets of skis on my Polestar is closer to 15%. I've got to imagine a couple of large bikes would be even worse.

    Tomorrow another batch of November confirmations hit the 4 month window. So here are the numbers so far: 22 Confirmations at or beyond the 4 month window 9 have received VIN numbers (41%) 4 have taken delivery (18%) Considering it's running 4-8 weeks from VIN to delivery, it looks like 60% of...

    Post Pictures of Your Exterior and Interior Combinations!

    This stuff seriously works wonders on cleaning leather and white surfaces in cars. https://www.amazon.com/Mothers-06524-VLR-VinylLeatherRubber-Care/dp/B004N63S9W/ref=sr_1_4?crid=NWBE8VZMP90S&keywords=mothers%2Bvlr&qid=1647281181&sprefix=mothers%2Bvlr%2Caps%2C140&sr=8-4&th=1

    Post Pictures of Your Exterior and Interior Combinations!

    With good leather cleaner it's relatively easy to keep white/cream leather clean. I've had no problem in the past. My concern is with the white/cream carpets. That is a different story especially in a snowy climate where mud/dirt will be tracked into the car all winter long.

    Range question

    Quickly checking PlugShare there are multiple high speed chargers along 75. For example the one in Lake City appears to be next to a Shell station. Pull into the charger, plug in, run to the bathroom at the Shell station, and by the time you get back after 10 minutes you'll probably have plenty...

    Production Sequencing

    I should clarify that my DA was very nice. It's just when it came to the question about Santa Cruz and Grey vehicles not getting VIN numbers, he quickly jumped to what felt like a Corporate line they are being told to communicate. Essential said he hasn't been made aware of any sort of delay for...

    Production Sequencing

    I asked about changing exterior or interior colors and was told not to because it would cause a delay. My DA also didn't like me suggesting White/Black/Red without Santa Cruz interior taking priority at the moment. I have a feeling they are getting hit with a lot of complaints and questions...

    Not a bad idea. I'm already thinking about asking to change my interior from Santa Cruz to Tahoe (concerns about kids with the light colored carpet). Not sure if they will let me change anything at this point. I would entertain a different exterior color if this was the only way to change my order.

    Lucid Motors’ second act will be an all-electric SUV called Gravity

    I'm glad to see it will be offered in a 6 seater. We prefer this with our three kids. Makes entry to the third row much easier and allows for additional storage between the seats in the middle row.

    Air Dream Deliveries?

    Have you driven a Taycan? If so how does it compare?

    @Adnillien Congrats! Very jealous. Can't wait to take delivery. It was relatively easy to keep my excitement under control, but now that GT deliveries are taking place it's really ramping up.

    Apparently Quantum Grey with Santa Cruz interior will be lucky to take delivery by 2023. /s Starting to get disappoint with the lack of movement on Grey and Santa Cruz orders.

    Road & Track: Who The Hell Is Going to Buy a Lucid?

    Has he seen the new Hyundais? The Ioniq 5 is one of my favorite new designs. I'm in my mid 40's. I won't consider another ICE vehicle. I had a Porsche Taycan which I loved, but it was really overpriced, lacked the interior room and storage space, and it's range was only marginal. Probably the...
