It's actually only 2 inches shorter. I'm sure the Gravity has way more interior volume though. The range will definitely be shorter but the charge speed will make it competitive (like how the Taycan is a faster road tripper than the Air.)

This is the real Gravity competition. https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a65810736/2026-porsche-cayenne-electric-prototype-drive/ Only a 106kWh battery but has 400kW charging with 10-80% in 16 minutes. The shots of it off-roading are hilarious, zero articulation.

The manual only says not to tow until the upgrade (ridiculous! )

Page 114: https://lucidmotors.com/media/document/Lucid-Gravity-Owners-Manual_en-US.pdf Weight limit is 110lbs.

I get slightly enraged when my Model 3 doesn't open when I pull the door handle. Tesla at least has some excuse, they are using bluetooth in a way it was never intended (the standard for phone as key didn't exist when they developed the car.) Proximity keys with dedicated hardware have been...

The tires on the bigger wheels have more traction (hence the lower efficiency) and the difference in range probably isn't as large as the EPA numbers suggest (rolling resistance is a smaller percentage of highway vs. city range) The third row range hit is just because the EPA calculation rounds...

Unless he has a third row, then it's 387 (because they round the weight 500lbs...) All the numbers are kinda fake. It will be interesting to see somewhat controlled real world testing. Note that this is wall to wheel efficiency. To get 407mi you would need to get 30kWh/100mi (3.3mi/kWh) battery...

Wow, those are some good numbers for the X. What Wh/mi is that? Maybe she had traffic? I'm surprised because the X is rated at ~10% more efficient and it got closer to its rating. I would expect them to get the same efficiency since they're the same size, weight, and aero.

Probably not. I think they moved the port to the back at the same time they switched to NACS. CCS port Gravity have the port in the front.

I'm curious what the software team was working on for the last 8 months? How bad was the software on the December deliveries? Seems like the key shortage could be mitigated by getting phone as key working.

Personally I would be tempted to lemon it. 30 days in the shop is enough in CA. Really hoping this thread is dead in a year and I can order one...

There is no such thing as home CCS, CCS is a DC charging standard (50kW+). I think the Tesla connector uses J1772 signaling for AC charging. With a Tesla to J1772 adapter I can charge my parent's Bolt from my Tesla Wall Connector. As @jered says the 2018 Model 3 does not support CCS or NACS. I...

They raised the price $10k... I don't think anyone is worried about selling EVs this quarter, next quarter is going to be a bloodbath.

Never said it was a bad tire, in fact there may be no tire that is better than it in every way (i.e. it's Pareto optimal*) But, I'm willing to bet the PZ5 has better traction in wet conditions in temperatures above 40F. *Maybe this should be Lucid's slogan instead of "Compromise Nothing" which...

The point was that tires tuned for efficiency have significantly worse wet weather performance. And that summer tires have excellent wet weather traction as long as it's not too cold. I doubt the Hankook iON evo AS SUV and Hankook evo iON AS have significantly different compounds. If there was...

Nope. Somehow the "lease loophole" has no MSRP cap or battery production location requirement. This "lease credit" is sort of silly. The interest rate on Gravity leases is so much higher than Air that it eats up all the "credit" anyway.

How cold does it get on 17? Summer tires have much higher grip than all-season in wet conditions as long as it's not too cold. High efficiency all-season tires are especially bad in wet conditions. Here are some Tire Rack test results. The Hankook tires were much worse in wet conditions...

It's funny that the engineering team tested the Gravity on some gnarly roads (for a crossover) but the marketing photos are of perfectly graded dirt roads.

They probably just set the ride height setting higher and put lower offset wheels on it. I agree with your take on Lucid as a company. It seems like the hardware engineers, Rawlinson included, were focused on the fun innovative stuff at the expense of ignoring the manufacturing side. The...

I guess the marketing team heard from a focus group that it looked too much like a minivan. The coordinates on the hood (36.53230, -116.93250). No idea why they would choose a spot that has no significance where you're not even allowed to drive. Color is cool and I like the look except for the...
