I have to disagree. A non-trivial fraction of car accidents are the result of perceptual errors on the part of a driver. It's a surprisingly common phenomena for a driver after an accident to say something like "I never even saw him!". Mental alertness while driving doesn't entirely prevent...

I think Lucid has already addressed this in a reasonable way. They've said that they're supply chain limited on HUD hardware, that they're prioritizing the Dream edition for HUD for now, and that it will be available on GTs in the fall. They've made a perfectly reasonable decision to not ship...

Lucid doesn't necessarily make it easy to find their communication, as you have to monitor Twitter/Facebook/Reddit or this forum, but they've answered some of your questions. It's not feasible to deliver a Gravity without HUD, and then install it later. So either delay delivery because you're...

I guess if you sign up for the more expensive model, you get more irate about the slow production ramp.

I have some (long out of date) experience with homologating motorcycles in the USA. There's a lot of interesting data produced during the process, but the rules are both a bit arcane and also leave lots of room for interpretation for what's required in the testing. When I was involved, the...

It'd be interesting to see how the acceleration graph changes with the same test done across all the different driving modes. That said, I can't imagine not being happy with this kind of 0-60 time. The Gravity achieves 60 mph in less than half the time of my current vehicle. My Highlander...

There's many aspects of the Gravity that I like. But the range is the number one appeal for me. Seating comfort is number 2, and cargo volume is number 3. I don't care at all about the third row, but I travel with a couple of dogs, and the cargo space for them is a huge appeal. Performance...

My working assumption is that the evolution of the Gravity will resemble that of the Air. The Air initially only offered a glass roof, and then eventually the metal roof became a rare option, and now it's readily available from models in inventory. I don't know if the Gravity Touring will be...

There are not that many Gravities in the wild yet, so it'll probably be a bit before anyone has hard data for you. But, there's enough data about towing with EVs generally, and so this question can be reasonably confidently answered. Assuming by your description you're talking about cargo...

It's a problem of different expertise being required. Traditionally, car companies are good at producing real-time software that's highly reliable, but usually doesn't have a lot of features, nor is it easily modifiable. That works in part because each subsystem in a car usually had a small...

Possibly dumb question, but what do people do at lease-end? Do lease companies care about whether there's tint on the vehicle?

Geeze, shut the heck up! You're talking me in to grabbing one of the remaining DE orders!

I'm hoping they offer a lease with a penalty free early buyout, so I can get the $7500 incentive but not pay all the financing costs that are baked into the leases. But I'm not holding my breath, as it seems most companies either don't offer early lease buyout at all, or charge penalties for it.

Looking at the example videos, I see the HUD showing the speed 3 times. It appears the number in the middle is the current speed, and I'm guessing the white boxed speed on the right is the speed limit. But what's the yellow "max" speed on the left? In the examples, it always matches the speed...

I really like the look of the Yosemite interior. But all the talk about observed tears in the Purluxe seating in various Gravity demo models has me concerned, especially since Purluxe rips on the Air seem to be much more common than in the leather. I may ultimately decide to switch to Tahoe...

To me, the potential appeal of a HUD is if it really offers all kinds of cool AR features. Like when driving in an unfamiliar city, and having the option of a sharp right vs a gentle right, will it do a good job of showing you which way to go? And what exactly do they mean when they say...

Nick Twork's message referenced a single winter tire, while David Lickfold said "We will offer two dedicated winter tires, both of which are for the 20”/21” configuration." I hope that actually means one pure winter tire, and one all season tire specifically optimized for excellent winter...

This is the first I've heard about Nokian being selected. Where does that info come from? I hadn't picked up on that in any of the press coverage or YouTub videos. Not that I'm sad about it, Nokian has some great winter tires.

My opinion is that you never want to modify the sensing in any way in a vehicle where the sensors feed a complex AI. Unfortunately, the current state of machine learning is that it produces systems where it's difficult to characterize the boundaries of where they do and don't work, and the...

Are you talking about tinting the roof? Or the side/rear windows? I've never had the urge to tint the side windows of my vehicle, but I have thought seriously about whether I'll want a roof tint, aimed at reducing how warm the cabin gets in the California summer. That said, I don't know...
