    Gravity Delivery Discussion

    All I know is that I'm not paying a subscription for garage door opening. I'll just keep a garage door remote in the car.

    Gravity Delivery Discussion

    Ah, that makes sense, I hadn't thought about the LEDs being on a dimming circuit.

    Gravity Delivery Discussion

    It's not a big deal, but I'm surprised they flicker. Household LED bulbs flicker because they're powered by AC current going through cheap LED drivers. I would have thought that a car's LEDs would be powered by an entirely DC circuit, and thus not have a flicker at all. But perhaps there's an...

    Gravity [Grand Touring] Reservations Tracker

    I believe that earlier this year on one of the earnings calls they said that they'd be focused on producing fully optioned Gravities to start. So people selection cheaper variations are more likely to have to wait a bit.

    Not working Tesla wall charger but works with Tesla EVSE

    I'm not at all certain I'm right about this, but I think a Tesla gen 2 wall charger was designed before NACS and SAE J3400? As such, it might not be compatible with vehicles with NACS charging ports. My impression is that NACS adopted the plug geometry from Tesla, but there were some...

    Gravity Delivery Discussion

    I'm having similar thoughts. The Gravity is my ideal car of everything on the market now. But it's also a bit of a stretch to call it "on the market" since most can't actually buy one yet. If the EV incentive is on the verge of disappearing and there's still no word when my GGT will be built...

    Lease Gravity

    As a few of us seem to be on the verge of taking delivery, I wonder if anyone can report the residual in the lease agreement they're about to sign?

    Lease return excess wear & tear

    If Lucid personnel certify that the vehicle was undamaged when you hand it over, and the leasing company inspection finds damage, you potentially have a case to argue that the damage was caused after the vehicle was out of your hands, and thus it's not your responsibility. Winning that argument...

    Gravity GT Supernova Bronze deliveries

    My impression is that any manufacturer's painting equipment doesn't quickly change colors. At a certain production volume it ceases to matter much, because they'll have multiple painting rooms (bays? machines? not sure the right term). But Lucid is still low volume, so the color switchover...

    Gravity GT First Drive and Orders information

    It's not enough to put me off buying a Gravity, but whatever performance gain one may get from the staggered tires doesn't seem worth the decrease in practicality. An extremely small fraction of owners are going to push its performance limits, but tire maintenance and replacement will be...

    Hold onto your butts - Hagerty Drag Race

    Where did this come from? I went to the Hagerty site, and I don't see anything about it.

    Gravity test drive

    I don't understand why key fobs are hard. Isn't this a solved problem, for many years now? The fob for my Toyota is quite compact, the battery lasts for years, the only circumstance it's ever failed me is from that battery wearing out, at which point the fob still has a key folded into it. I...

    Gravity Delivery Discussion

    When I went to visit Millbrae to look at the 5-seat Gravity they now have on display, the SA was clear that it also is a pre-production vehicle. The indents on the floor where the 3rd row seats would attach were an artifact of that.

    Gravity test drive

    Yeah, I think Waymo's approach to safety and building confidence in their system is a better one. I've never tried to look into what Mercedes is doing for their autonomous driving. It'd be interesting to know how they approach data transparency.

    Gravity test drive

    I think society will insist on autonomous vehicles proving they're much safer than a human driver. Our tolerance for robots accidentally killing people is probably much lower than our tolerance for humans doing so. Most people seem to know at least one person who has been seriously injured or...

    Gravity; SUV or Minivan

    Those of us without a loaner Gravity have too much time on our hands. We have to do something to pass the hours. 🤣

    Gravity test drive

    I think if Tesla didn't have their somewhat ambiguous marketing that tends to oversell FSD as being autonomous driving, then you might not find so many people pushing back against it. As an ADAS system, it's pretty good. There are some concerning incidents of it misbehaving too rapidly and...

    Gravity; SUV or Minivan

    I have an aging dog. The lower jump-in height for him is much appreciated. With my current vehicle, I have a flip out step mounted to the trailer hitch receiver. But I'm hoping to avoid that for the Gravity, as I assume it adds a decent amount of drag on the highway.

    Gravity Delivery Discussion

    Are you sure interest is fizzling, and distrust growing? Perhaps you're just annoyed at having to wait? I get the impatience. But Lucid said all along that the ramp would be extremely slow, because they wanted to make sure that the vehicles were great when they were delivered. They're...

    Gravity Wraps

    I think it'd be hilarious if they targeted a different kind of performance with each Sapphire model. I'm looking forward to the lifted monster-truck variant of the Gravity. 🤣
