    2026 Motor Trend SUV of the Year: the 9,000-pound Cadillac Escalade with a 205 kWh Battery pack

    What, did one of the Lucid muckety-mucks pay Autoblog to write this?

    Gravity Bugs / Issues

    It’s like they’re thinking of every possible way for this car to fail, and doing it.

    What is your electricity (kWh) cost at home ?

    At one time not too long ago, SDGE had the dubious distinction of charging the highest utliity rates in the land.

    Gravity 3.3.8 Released

    Eric Bach leaving?! I’m crushed. He was kinda cute…okay, that’s all I’ll say about that.

    well this was embarrassing

    Awwwkwaaard…I’d be mortified. Good thing your car decided to start up eventually, instead of remaining shutdown and compelling you to send for a tow truck. That would be the ultimate indignity.

    Gravity 75 mph Range

    Wait, I can achieve 4.0 in my 2022-build GT on 19s?! I don’t think I’ve ever seen that in three years and 66,000 miles of driving. Maybe once, I got over 4.0. But that was coming down a mountain.

    Lucid Air 2.8.9

    I griped in another thread about how I lost all forms of “Driver Assist”, using 2.8.7, including basic cruise control. Subsequent to my bitching and moaning, I repeated the steering wheel button reset and on the drive following that second or third reset, all those functions came back. Then I...

    Kim Java family road trip review

    Wait, “PJ”. Who is this PJ? Is that Java Kim’s original husband, or did she remarry? I don’t recognise PJ from Java Kim’s early youtube days, but then again in those days I hardly paid attention to who her husband was, or what he looked like. I’m just being a total gossip queen here.

    Software Version 2.8.7

    Drove my car for the first time last night since installing 2.8.4 and 2.8.7. My car had been sitting undriven for over a fortnight because I’d gotten sick. Before driving off, I did the obligatory all-screen reset. On my 140 mile drive to work, I acquired and then lost Adaptive Cruise, Driver...

    I'm feeling you at your wits' end here...I'm seriously thinking about cancelling my order. This sucks.

    Lucid Gravity GT 70MPH Range Test State of Charge Video - 345 Miles

    Oh! That's good news indeed, given the rather pessimistic assessment I was just making in my post, above yours.

    Lucid Gravity GT 70MPH Range Test State of Charge Video - 345 Miles

    I'm not going to add anything very useful here, just anecdotal observations from an expected, eventual Gravity owner. After three years and 66,000 miles of mostly trouble-free Air GT ownership, I've calculated my real world range to be 350 miles. This number takes into account my weekly 280...

    Taking Care of the Battery - Suggestions from Battery Engineer from Lucid

    Yes, I was going to add that factoid after posting, but then I got timed out. Yes, approximately $120 K, all the way back in mid-2018. Model X with everything on it except Plaid and FSD (which I bought at a much reduced price later). The depreciation definitely hurt, it still does, now that...

    Taking Care of the Battery - Suggestions from Battery Engineer from Lucid

    Good for you. The best price I can expect for our 7-year-old Tesla Model X100D, with 124,000 miles on it and 200 miles of real world range (259 EPA rated), is $15K to $16K. That's according to KBB. According to Tesla telemetry, the car's main battery has degraded approximately 10%. I really...

    First road trip EPIC fail

    I'm starting to wonder about that. A point of pride of Lucid engineering, especially under Peter Rawlinson, was the small size and light weight of the drive unit. Perhaps in and effort to make their DUs as light and as efficient as possible, Lucid have also succeeded in making them too...

    Exactly this. Dashcams of any brand are indispensable for proving $hitty driving like this.

    Gravity Delivery Discussion

    While we're banging on about dash cam systems, after having a Viofo dash cam installed in my Air, I noted with disappointment that the system has the same "blind spots" that the Tesla Dashcam does, right at the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions. In both systems nothing that happens at those...

    GGT with Tech Package Deliveries

    I ordered my GGT with tech package on August 10th. Apart from one email from my SA in mid-September, updating me that there were no updates, I’ve heard nothing else, nor seen any indication that my order has moved beyond the “ORDERED” phase. Nothing else to do but keep waiting.

    2025 California Auto Insurance Data Thread In DETAIL

    Ouch! I had been thinking I was getting off lightly, until I got my auto policy renewal in my email today. That’s a $600 per annum increase. I’ve made only one claim (Comprehensive) in the three years I’ve owned the car. And that comprehensive claim was in regards to replacing my rear...
