Probably obvious, but to me the decision might hinge on how comfortable you are with the early-year costs of a vehicle. The R1S is a great SUV, and I imagine you'd be happy with it. But a short term lease on the R1S followed by acquiring a Gravity does mean a couple more years of maximally...

That's good to know! From the discussion, I'd assumed that the keycard was needed as a backup in the case of a dead battery.

I'd love to see an updated fob that integrates the credit card key into the fob. That's the way my Toyota fob works. If the battery is dead, you can hold the fob up against the ignition button, and the vehicle can read it. Otherwise, when you loan the car to someone, it raises the question of...

Yikes! I would hope that shattering would be a very rare failure. My understanding is that tempered safety glass breaks into small cubes because it's deliberately manufactured with a lot of pent up stress in the glass. Sometimes the manufacturing process puts a bit too much stress in, and the...

Does that tint make the roof look more reflective from the outside? Or does it accomplish the effect some other way?

The metal roof on the Air is cheaper than an Air with a glass roof. My working assumption is that Gravity will eventually offer a metal roof variation, if for no other reason than to offer a lower priced version to improve their sales volume.

I'll chime in and say that I appreciate hearing from the people who aren't having problems. As someone who's waiting to be told that a Gravity is available to me, I want to hear the full mix of experiences. I'm nervous about buying a Gravity, because I don't expect my wife to be tolerant of...

I'd guess not. Initial problems, yes. But it seems that Lucid has a pretty good track record of making early owners happy.

I'm going to guess that most people wouldn't care about having to touch the handles. The only thing that will outrage people is the key just not working, or having to be puzzled over to make it work.

I personally wouldn't ding it for needing a NACS adapter. It doesn't seem that big a deal to have to plug in the adapter. My principle reason for not considering the Vistiq is primarily the much lower range compared to the Gravity. It seems the Gravity Touring is expected to have lower range...

As an engineer, I'm aware that sometimes even simple things have deceivingly sophisticated engineering behind them. Judging from the photos, the Toyota fob is smaller than either Lucid fob, is exceptionally reliable, and has a physical key you can extract as a backup if the battery ever dies...

The discussion about 3rd row airflow is a little concerning. I wonder what's supposed to occur in a 5 seat configuration? I intend to transport my dogs in the rear of the vehicle, and I want airflow back there, as they need it cooler than I do during hot weather, courtesy of the fur coat they...

I'm baffled by the whole fob-goes-to-sleep thing. My Toyota fob either doesn't sleep, or does so entirely transparently, and the battery lasts for years.

Pretty sure it's one bear forward on one side, and one bear backward on the other.

I live in the mountains in California, and so had the exact same question. So I reached out to Lucid and asked. Beyond the currently available tire options, they said that they're working on two different winter tire options, and that they should be available before this winter. No details...

If I needed an EV right now, the Air is great, and I know I'd be happy with it. But I also imagine that the next model year of Airs might get a quite a few updates from the engineering that's been done for Gravity, and so there's always that temptation to just wait until the next better...

In my case, I tend to buy and hold vehicles, so the calculation is more about what the resale value difference might be after 10 years. Whatever small difference in value there might be is probably overwhelmed by the improved utility (for me) of having the rear under-floor storage available.

For "normal" people, the lower gearing makes sense to deliver performance. After all, unless you take the vehicle to a track, you probably never notice the Rivian tapering off as it approaches 130 MPH. My driving is below 85 MPH, with maybe a handful of times year that I briefly go above that...

Is there a smaller EV SUV that has the performance and range of the Gravity? It doesn't seem hard to understand why a lot of people might want the 5 seat variation. For me, the rear of the vehicle is for the dogs, not people who want seats.

It does seem like shame to buy a vehicle with a massive battery and not have power outlets. It's something that I don't need often, but is super handy when I do need it. I look forward to being able to recharge my cordless tool batteries, or use a plug-in air compressor for tires or...
