I definitely don't want them to skip the studios! Although I have put in my order for a Gravity GT, I'm definitely not closing the deal without a chance to test drive. I'm excited from everything I've read, but I'm not spending $100K+ on a vehicle without having a chance to see it in person...

I've placed an order for a Gravity GT. My contact at the Rocklin (Sacramento California area) Lucid location told me that it would probably be possible to test drive a Gravity in two weeks. But they were careful to not make any promises.

Not anymore. :-)

The diagram doesn't really tell you anything about what's being patented. I don't have time to give the patents a full read right now, but a cursory look at the 1st claim of each patent seems to indicate that they claim almost exactly the same thing, with the key addition in the Hyundai patent...

For the whipper-snappers, I'm not sure that even mentioning Woodstock will make it clear what you're referring to. :cool:

Assuming there's also a patent for the Hyundai system, you'd have to carefully read the claims to figure out what the unique "secret sauce" is of each approach. The main body of the patent describes how an invention works, and includes both whatever prior art and new invention is needed for the...

I finally bit the bullet and placed my order for a GT. I'd been waffling, wanting to see the Touring specs. But with the discussion about the Touring's range being quite a bit lower, I decided that the GT was the right model for me.

Oof, that sucks! I've never had a vehicle with such low profile tires, but this kind of story scares me away from them. I've been watching the threads debating different wheel size choices for the Gravity. My inclination is to get the base (smallest) wheel sizes and thus tires with taller...

I don't think the problem with a Lucid is that the driver is new. Rather, I think the problem is poor judgment/impulse control. If your son was 40 and learning to drive, I'd think it could be fine. But I recall the idiotic things I did when I was a teenager, and it was all about judgement (or...

My driving is almost entirely on paved roads, and I do a lot of mixed climate driving in a single trip, going between the snow at Lake Tahoe and the warm weather around Sacramento. I drive fast on the freeway, and the mountain roads do have plenty of curves, but I'm not driving like an amateur...

During the last earnings call, they said that they really hadn't begun any marketing effort for Gravity, but that they were planning big things. I doubt anyone would consider an invite-only event a to have a big marketing impact, unless perhaps it's focused on the media. My guess is the bulk...

I'm guessing that for the lease to work out, you'd have to initially register the vehicle in another state, and that would probably require purchasing in a state that allowed non-residents to register vehicle. Not all states permit this. A quick search online indicates that Florida, Kentucky...

There really isn't any standard for how frontal area or cD is calculated for vehicles. Even if one picks a standard approach for frontal area, there can be big variations in wind tunnel setups, and legitimate reasons why an engineer might prefer one wind tunnel configuration over another. One...

I read the headline of this post, and I thought it was going to be something like projected highway range at the different ride heights. :) I'd actually be really interested to see that data. I'd also be very curious to know what the "auto" ride height mode is. I'd like it to set to low...

With the caveat that I've never actually seen one in person, I'd very much like a Gravity. I suspect that the Touring would be the best trim for me, but my own personal financial circumstance means that if I can't buy by the end of the year, there's a good chance that I'm never buying. Maybe...

I feel like modern car design is overly influenced by movies where someone is scrambling to take shelter in their vehicle and lock it before the attacker can get to the door handle. Or where there's some creepy person somehow hiding behind the drivers seat, waiting to ambush you when you get...

Experiments to fool the camera with murals are interesting. There's also plenty of history of human drivers being fooled. I seem to recall a trompe l'oeil painting of a tunnel on the side of a building, which was quickly repainted after cars started ramming into the wall. Personally, I'm...

I've just returned from a 3 week trip to Japan. All the very practical small vehicles with minivan-style sliding doors just served to reinforce my belief that Americans' dislike of minivans is foolish. I'd probably be a failure if anyone put me in charge of marketing a vehicle, so my opinion...

I agree 100%. For me, the practicality of a minivan, the performance of a sports car, some trappings of luxury, and a package that most people will look right past? Sign me up.

I have no idea if it would fit, but I agree that having a vehicle that can move a sheet of plywood or drywall is extremely convenient. These days I have a pickup truck that I use for such things, but there was a time when I took advantage of a Toyota Sienna being big enough to fit that. It's...
