    Tire/Wheel Discussion

    This is my reason for preferring a 2-row configuration. I currently drive a 3-row SUV, and since I bought it in 2018, I've pulled the 3rd row up from the stowed position exactly twice. But cargo capacity? I've regularly decided that I didn't have room for something. Of course, I'm in a two...

    Upcoming tariff impact on Lucid used car sales

    This is a circumstance where it's pretty easy to apply economic rules. Higher new vehicle prices will suppress demand for new vehicles. While a certain amount of that demand is elastic and will just disappear, some of it gets shunted off into the used vehicle market, raising demand there. For...

    Gravity Delivery Discussion

    My interest is certainly high, just from my experience behind the wheel of an Air and everything I've read about the Gravity. But I guess I'm conservative (not in the political sense!) and reluctant to drop ~$120K on a vehicle I've never had a chance to sit in.

    Gravity Delivery Discussion

    Am I the only one who thinks it's a bit too large? If I'm going to carry a key in my pocket, I want a smaller one than that.

    Gravity Air Suspension range published!

    The driving perspective is all I personally care about. I want whatever efficiency improvement might come from hugging the ground a bit more at highway speeds, but the ability to rise up high when I'm going slow in the snow. That said, I have found the discussion speculating how...

    Gravity Delivery Discussion

    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...

    Test drive before 2H25.....maybe?

    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.

    Gravity DC to DC Boost using Rear Motor for Fast Charging from 500V Chargers

    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...

    Breathtaking fusion of light and sound.....

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

    Gravity DC to DC Boost using Rear Motor for Fast Charging from 500V Chargers

    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...

    Gravity [Grand Touring] Reservations Tracker

    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.

    Be careful of new potholes in LA and SD!

    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...

    Just got so lucky with my order

    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...

    Tire/Wheel Discussion

    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...

    Encounter Extraordinary - NYC March 28-30

    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...

    Leasing from Lucid not allowed in my state. Any way around it?

    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...

    Gravity 75 mph Range

    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...

    Gravity Air Suspension range published!

    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...

    Reserve GT, Wait for Touring, OR Wait for lower trim “Pure” Gravity?

    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...
