The car in the headline picture in that electrek article looks like the "Late Availability" Lunar Titanium exterior? Or is it just Stellar white with odd lighting?

Does the browser know this, though? There is a "globe" icon at the top of the Lucid home page that tells you what locale you are browsing and it doesn't have to match your physical location. If I set mine to Canada-English then I see metric measurements and no order button. If I set it to US...

Which locale are you browsing? Are orders only currently allowed in the US? The fact that you see metric measurements leads me to believe that you are simply browsing from a country/locale that they don't sell/configure into currently.

No posts for a day!

Personally I would have taken one look at that, sold all of my LCID and went shopping for something else. That screams minivan more than the final production candidates. The straight line to the back exacerbates it. It is also cross-bred with some of those "hey, we're trying to make a...

That 3rd row looks beefier than the 2nd row. And while the animation shows the 3rd row headrests folding forward as you fold them into the rear well, I hope there is a way to fold those headrests when the 3rd row is not being used for added rear visibility. I usually leave the 3rd row in place...

The factors I think that affect the decision: higher price means higher margins, raking in the most money in the short term to help stay afloat higher price means fewer customers which means a smaller/shorter backlog of frustrated owners as the deliveries slowly ramp (Touring customers will...

200miles/15min is good. The fact that that text appears on a web page isn't "good evidence that they've solved the voltage (on Tesla Superchargers) issue". To be even more clear - people were wondering if the Gravity would be able to charge faster than 50kw on a Tesla Supercharger. I was...

I like the look of the smaller wheels. I don't like the look of low profile tires. Better range, longevity and resilience are all just icing on the cake for me. The only advantage for the lower profile tires (since I don't prefer them for looks) would be that they can handle better. But, that...

The rate of charge listed for Gravity is the same that Tesla lists for their superchargers - 200 miles in 15 minutes. Not really good evidence that they've solved the voltage issue, but a decent data point.

Drivers are definitely prepared for the environment to bring unexpected challenges. But I think that a behavior that depends on internal car state that is uncommon takes away from the driving experience. They can provide the choice easily enough and allow the driver to decide.

One thing I never got was that they could easily make the behavior consistent. Maybe regen isn't available when the battery is nearly full, but that doesn't mean that their only option is to let the car run away on coasting. Regen should have an option to simulate the resistive force when it...

Which is what I said. You were saying that the press releaase cannot be right because the Air doesn't support it and I was pointing out that the press release is correct because it only applies to "future vehicles" which is consistent with the Air not getting it.

Any Lucid can charge at a Tesla supercharger that has a magic dock. They're pretty rare, but they exist. Any CCS car can do that, whether or not their manufacturer has an agreement - you just need to open an account with the Tesla app.

The release mentions it in 2 places. In the bullet items near the top, it just says "into its vehicles in 2024", but in the text below it clarifies "future vehicles in 2025" which covers the Air not necessarily getting it right away, but the Gravity shipping with it since it will essentially be...

I was torn between recording "what I ordered" and "what I think I'll say when they ask me to finalize". I mostly went with the latter - my color choices are "a work in progress".

I think that depends on how you react to newer technology. I've had my Model X for over 7 years and I still love it. It's had about 9% degradation, but I still drive it on long trips without any noticeable "road trip quality of life" loss and that's with a car that had a lot less total range at...

I was able to see the colors in person today at the Westfield showroom in San Jose. Unfortunately their "dark decor" setting makes it really hard to gauge the exterior colors. I did bring the exterior samples over to the wall of interior samples and I thought that the Ojai worked well...

They quote 200mi in 15 minutes in a couple of places. That should give an idea on charging speed. There's a chance that they are quoting a rate only achievable on a CCS charging station, but unless they include a CCS adapter with the car that would be misleading or should at least have a...

One issue I have with the Ojai interior (which I've ordered) is the grey trim piece on the center console. It doesn't seem to match very well. On the other hand, that grey trim piece is also on the Tahoe interior where I feel it's just an eyesore. At least with the de-saturated tones of the...
