I'm surprised at how many posters are saying that this update does nothing of any interest to them other than getting Android Auto. As someone for whom the driving experience means more than how many software features are in a car, I took particular note of this phrase in the release notes for...

Although our first Gravity got the final 3.1.7 software download on June 12 and I think the car may be in transport, I still haven't received the final invoice for making payment. I have already been sent the wiring instructions but was told the invoice would not be issued for funds to be sent...

My SA told me the "target delivery date" of June 27 was in a notice he received from Lucid. Did your SA say anything about such a message from Lucid? If I remember correctly, our Air DE in December 2021 went onto a truck in Casa Grande, then was loaded onto a train somewhere out west, then was...

Our Gravity got the final 3.1.7 download on June 12 and might have shipped yesterday. It’s headed for Miami, but I was told shipping could take up to two weeks, depending on what else is in the shipment. This squares with the June 27 “target delivery” date I was given. And then another couple...

But did it properly download to the car, given the error message?

This is what our Gravity has been showing for the past three days. There were several earlier downloads on June 5 that have now dropped off the list. When I opened those earlier links the release notes showed what the update contained, but they were always labeled as Air upgrades. Then I open...

Does this mean being prepped for shipment from the factory or being prepped at a service center for final delivery to you?

This timing has worked out with bizarre serendipity for me. I had my second knee replaced last week, can't drive for a couple more weeks, and can't make an extended trip for at least six weeks. So getting the car delivered at the end of June and then having it wrapped and the radar/laser...

Just got notified that a different VIN has been matched to our order and that it will ship from the factory this Friday, the 13th (ulp!) -- DE, Aurora Green, Tahoe, 21/22" wheels. The new VIN is identical to the first one except for the last six figures, so I'm pretty sure it's the same...

The question is why are Gravities being built without an order to match?

I don't think that's a function of being an early build but rather of being a Tesla build. Our 2015 Model S had one of the lowest structural rigidity numbers of any full-size sedan at the time. I thought our 2021 Model S Plaid would have addressed this, but by 10,000 miles it had developed...

Interesting. I just got the Florida State Farm bills for the next six months: $868.67 for our 2022 Air Dream P, and $690.48 for the Gravity DE. Same coverages on both. Interestingly, State Farm codes the Gravity as a "Sport Wagon".

I keep high deductibles, but they’re the same on both cars, so still a clean comparison.

The Air DE is $868.67 per 6 months, and the Gravity DE is $690.48.

FWIW, I just got my insurance bill from State Farm for our Gravity that is supposed to be arriving at the end of this month. State Farm classifies the Gravity as a "Sport Wagon". Having seen one three times plus recently test driven one, I think that's a good call.

That hatch in the Tesla compared with the trunk upper cross beam in the Air is part of the reason our Model S started developing squeaks and groans in the rear quarters by 10,000 miles, and our Air remains quiet and rock solid at over 36,000 miles.

This article is 15 years old. So much has changed about tire design and construction in these 15 years that I don't really know how far its observations go at this point. There are so many variables at play here. Some things remain the same. As wheel diameter increases, more of the...

I dumped our Tidal subscription over a year ago. Either Tidal or the car terminated the login connection, and I was unable to log back in no matter what I tried. After spending a couple of weeks trying to get a response to my requests for help from the woefully misnamed Tidal "customer...

Huh? The Pirelli PZ4 is a max performance summer tire.

My brother has a 2018 Model 3 that he's ready to shed. But he is so intrigued by the prospect of the mid-size Earth that he is hoping to hold off until he sees what Lucid introduces in late 2026. However, assuming that Lucid even meets the teased introduction date, if its road to production...
