Yes, they are. But they don't line up, so I suspect they're just foam blocks under the film to disguise the contours.

The Gravity seems finally to be reaching the stage where it is ready to be sold -- a point for which Lucid should have waited before releasing the Gravity to the public, and especially before putting it in the hands of the automotive press. The reputational overhang of its premature release...

So true. It took Lucid too long to work through the software teething pains of the Gravity, but our Dream Editions still are the best all-around vehicles we've ever owned. And even at $140K, I view them as a bargain from a value perspective. The feature list is as long as anything on the...

That may be what we're seeing, too. The lights no longer automatically dim with oncoming traffic, but we're also not getting high beam flashes from other cars indicating they are being blinded or annoyed by our headlights.

We had much improved software performance after the 3.6.0 update in our two Gravities, but problems are now creeping back in. We sometimes lose audio, and the auto-dimming headlight feature has become erratic. A problem we had in the nav system of our older Gravity a year ago has now shown up...

We have two Gravity Dream Editions, one on the 22/23" Pirelli PZ5 summers and one on the 21/22" Michelin Primacy all-seasons. Both sets of tires handle and brake more than adequately in any normal driving situation you will encounter on either wet or dry roads, including occasional panic...

Our cars were cash purchases. State Farm covered the costs to purchase cars of equivalent mileage and condition. In the case of the Air, that meant an identical Dream Edition except with almost 5,000 fewer miles. In the case of the Gravity Dream, which was only two months old with no...

If you keep your regenerative braking set on high, you may never need to service the brakes on a Lucid.

I think that the longer you wait, the higher the odds you will receive a relatively problem-free car. In the year I've been posting about the many problems we've had with our three Gravities (we still have two of them) I have consistently said that Lucid released the Gravity before it was...

I want to make a general comment about the assertions that the forum has become more negative recently. To the extent that it may be true, has it occurred to anyone that it might be because Lucid released a much-watched and expensive model prematurely? I'm not going to cite my source, but a...

I didn't have the second car for long enough to assess much of its build quality, as it was totaled in a wreck. The first car (which we still have) had to have the HUD unit replaced due to screen distortion, the steering wheel replaced, the frunk struts replaced, and a new front drive unit (due...

Don't know whether your question was directed to me or to @pr4424. FWIW, mine were numbered: 067 (June 2025 delivery) 238 (September 2025 delivery - wrecked) 427 (December 2025 delivery).

To the last two posters: I was adding some comments to my preceding post while you were writing yours . . . not that I disagree with anything you said, of course.

Word inside the company is that Dlala left voluntarily. There is not much information circulating, though, as to what occasioned his decision to leave, and my guess is that will remain the case. Derek Jenkins is the only one of the original heavy hitters who brought us the still-class-leading...

This may be true for mid- and lower-tier employees, but I know from personal experience what major companies demand of their senior players even today. And I know what people striving to reach those positions still put themselves through to get them. A few years ago the CEO of ABB (formerly...

And saying you are leaving an organization to which you have been highly dedicated because you want to spend more time with your family is about as frequent a cliche as any that you will find in exit statements. It's interesting that it's the same reason his mentor Peter Rawlinson gave for...

True, and it certainly applies to assessing Napoli's performance which no one has seen yet. At the same time, Napoli had already been before the press to discuss Lucid's future direction. I'd be shocked if the senior management team of which Dlala is a part would not have been given clear...

While Dlala gave a bow to Peter Rawlinson, what I found notably missing from his statement was an expression of confidence in the new management team. From speaking of the opportunity Rawlinson gave him to be part of advancing "our vision" for the future of EVs, he went on to thank customers...

Since 3.6.0 has arrived, both our Gravities now seem to be functioning largely as intended. The only problem that has recurred since the update is the errant LED accent strip, and Dlala had told me that might not be a software problem. This only heightens my perplexity at his sudden departure...

This is not a zero sum game. The presence of someone such as Emad Dlala and his powertrain team in the organization in no way bears on what needs to be done in the production, sourcing, and service parts of the business, unless the presence of one draws critical resources away from the other...
