With June knocking on the door, it now seems Lucid was fortunate that the plans fell through for a press event around the first Gravity Dream delivery in Scottsdale at the end of April. Seen today it would look as embarrassing as that highly-touted "start of delivery" event last December now...

FWIW, I once had a Corvette with the removable T-top. I kept a roll of paper towels in the car to stuff into the cracks between the windows and the roof during a rainstorm or when going through a carwash. 🥴

Yes. One to replace our 2021 Tesla Model S Plaid and the other to replace our 2018 Honda Odyssey minivan. We had long been planning to replace the Odyssey with an EV when one came on the market that could match the Odyssey's passenger room with sufficient range for road tripping. (As we have...

We've been given a "target delivery" date of June 27 for our first GDE, a green/Tahoe/21-22". No VIN yet on the black/Yosemite/22-23".

Expel recently introduced a windshield film that gets very good reviews. However, it currently only comes in 40" widths, meaning you cannot do the entire front canopy unless you seam it. Xpel is working on a wider width, but no time for release has been given. After our recent experience I'm...

I think a lot of it depends on the circumstances in which you'll be driving. There is a huge amount of residential and commercial construction going on in southwest Florida, and I often encounter convoys of dump trucks spread across all three lanes, especially on the 6-lane road almost out to...

Rivian was a deal breaker for me. I reserved a Launch Edition R1S as soon as reservations opened up almost a year before Lucid Air Dream reservations opened. In the ensuing two-plus years of waiting, the plan was to take whichever car got delivered first. The Air arrived first, and we...

Got a message this morning from the SA that our Green/Tahoe DE has a "targeted delivery date" of 06/27. He had told me earlier that getting it from the studio in Miami over to Naples would take an additional 2-3 days. Still no VIN yet on the Black/Yosemite DE. Allowing for another two weeks...

We've owned a Lucid Air since December 2021, and I concur with the preceding comments that a Lucid might not be right for you at this point. As for service, the Air required quite a few service visits in the first year. (As I've posted elsewhere, though, the Air was not the most problem-ridden...

Conner posted a video in December which contained a 26-minute segment in which he test drove the Gravity with John Culliton, a Lucid chassis engineer, as a passenger. Although it was not an independent test of a final production vehicle, the test vehicle did have the final chassis programming...

Interesting. Any more color on what that means?

For me, it's very simple. Generally speaking, more power means more responsiveness to the throttle. It just makes a vehicle feel more "alive" in your hands, even in mundane driving situations. I just really enjoy that sensation in a car.

We had a 2021 Model S Plaid in our garage alongside a Lucid Air Dream Performance for over three years. Although the Dream had more horsepower than the Plaid (1,111 vs. 1,020) the Plaid was quicker off the line. This was to be expected, though, because the Plaid weighed ~500 pounds less and...

I could only find one winter tire on the Nokian website in the sizes for the Gravity 20/21" wheels:

I do get the point of the question. On the other hand, some reasons do spring to mind: 1. Lucid is pounding the hell out of the point that the Gravity is a performance vehicle that goes well beyond a conventional SUV in terms of power and handling, specifically saying the Lamborghini Urus was...

Idle (and probably misguided) speculation here, but I'm getting the feeling that some issue has developed with supplying HUDs even for Dream Editions. After a few indications that DE production and deliveries might finally be getting underway in meaningful numbers, things suddenly seem to have...

Kyle Conner has real chops when it comes to reviewing charging performance and a few other things. But when it comes to a car's dynamic performance there are reviewers from whom I'm considerably more interested in hearing: Thomas Holland of "Throttle House", Jason Cammisa and "Hagerty", Ben...

I did put it on my list of guesstimates of which Gravity accessories most people would want. I remain as surprised as I was at the time the seat was announced at how much reviewers go on about it and still do. But I have long since accepted that I'm an outlier on this. I did try it out...

Now this is what we need to see: charging stations with protection from rain! Having to use an unprotected charging station in a heavy rain is one of the most aggravating aspects of EV road tripping.

I can see why Lucid would not include certain expensive accessories, as many owners would never use them. For example, I would never install a roof rack. I also doubt I would ever make use of the frunk seat. For securing front cargo, I would find the frunk storage bins that Lucid is selling...
