    Gravity Tire Replacement Comparison

    We have the LM2's on our Air DE-P, and they're wearing very well so far despite some fairly frisky driving.

    Gravity Tire Replacement Comparison

    The Pirelli PZ5 is a new top-of-the-range performance tire, and the LM1 version on the Lucid Gravity was manufacturer-tuned specifically for Lucid. So it's a very low-volume tire right now. The price may drop a bit as Pirelli continues to expand the sizes of this new tire, although there...

    Charging at NACS Superchargers

    I sent him instructions this morning about how to use the phone app to initiate Supercharger charging. Nothing to do but wait to see how his experience evolves, I guess. However, the instructions I sent him from the Volvo website said to use the Volvo app to initiate charge at a Tesla...

    Gravity Tire Replacement Comparison

    We had a very lengthy discussion on another thread about Lucid's tire choices for each of the wheel options -- a discussion that was especially enlightened by @PetevB who is an engineer and a car technical writer. Lucid did not make the tire choices randomly for the Gravity. Each tire/wheel...

    Charging at NACS Superchargers

    That's what we thought, too . . . until he plugged in before his trip at a Supercharger station (Miramar Outlets in Estero, FL) and charging began before he did anything. Also, when he was at the Hollywood, FL Superchargers, one of the stations did activate and try to initiate charging while...

    Charging at NACS Superchargers

    It appears access to Tesla Superchargers may not be the panacea some hope in terms of curing charging woes. After several years of haranguing by us friends who have EVs, a good friend finally relented and leased a Volvo XC30. Two days ago he took his first road trip in it and, unfortunately...

    The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

    Both Kyle Conner and Tom Moloughney posted very thorough video reports of their charging experiences with the Gravity, both at CCS stations and Tesla Superchargers. That is the reason both were given access to Gravities the week prior to "Press Week", as those tests took quite a bit of time...

    The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

    I don't disagree in terms of general overviews of a car. However, neither of them are seasoned track drivers. Jason Cammisa is a professional stunt driver, and Thomas Holland of "Throttle House" is an experienced track driver who recently took a Class 2 trophy at the McLaren Trophy Driver...

    The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

    The drive reviews I'm looking most forward to seeing are from Jason Cammissa and the Throttle House guys. They combine good in-depth discussions of driving dynamics with a conciseness that eludes Conner.

    More Tech Info on Gravity

    A Gravity video by the German magazine "Auto Bild" mentioned that the Gravity has a 600hp rear motor and a 228hp front motor (7:50). I assume someone at Lucid must have given him these figures? But that spread sounds a little extreme to me. Now that we know the Gravity Dream will use the...

    The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

    I don't think we'll know until a video actually shows up. Here's what we do know from a podcast with Tom Moloughney (of "State of Charge") the week after the "Press Week" event. Moloughney said he and Conner requested access to a Gravity to do charge testing. Since that takes considerable...

    gravity manual?

    Is that not the case with most EVs? Neither our Air nor our two Teslas had an exterior frunk button. And I doubt the EQS does, as its underhood area in inaccessible to the owner without a special tool.

    How long before all GDEs are delivered?

    There was, but I saw a news article today that said Gravity deliveries had not yet started in KSA as they were going to the factory there first for final assembly. (I don't remember the source.) That made sense to me, as I don't think the KSA-bound Gravities we've been seeing in drone flyovers...

    First Dream Edition Delivery!

    Well, I don’t know about you, but I certainly intend to sprint up mine.🦼

    How long before all GDEs are delivered?

    Yes. That second delivery was No. 003 that I mentioned in my earlier post that you said was not confirmed.

    How long before all GDEs are delivered?

    I'm not sure that a photo of a car in a showroom is actual confirmation that an owner took the photo. Nor am I sure that looking at a photo on a forum is "vetting" a source. In any case, I see no reason to doubt the two forum members who said they took delivery in Scottsdale.

    First Dream Edition Delivery!

    It may depend on the ride height setting upon approach. The Air's ground clearance is 4.9" or 5.5", depending on wheel size. At the lowest setting, the Gravity clearance is 5.3". And the rubber air dams in front of the wheels on our Air with 21" wheels clear the ground by only 3.125" -- and...

    Lease Charges for Damage

    Curb rash is not "wear and tear", whether excess or not. It is damage. That is why they are assessing you for it.

    First Dream Edition Delivery!

    As the Air has long had memory proximity sensing for bringing up the Homelink menu for gates and garage doors, I'm a bit surprised using it for height adjustment is not already a Gravity feature.

    How long before all GDEs are delivered?

    I never saw any confirmation that Lucid ever sold all 520 Air Dreams. When they later released it in Europe it was never clear whether those cars were in the count. But the Air Dream was a different kettle of fish. It cost $30,000 more than a Gravity Dream. It was in one of the smallest...
