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...

"trail-ready" lol. looks dirt road ready, none of the pictures show it on a trail... Where's the spare tire? "topography maps of Big Sur and Death Valley are etched onto the recesses on the hood of Lucid Gravity X" Let's see it do Lippincott Rd. in Death Valley without damage. Curious how they...

Brought back memories of Isuzu VehiCROSS (Yeah, that was the real name)

Doesn't look like they were running max ride height? A bumper that doesn't come down so low would help. Really you need air space between the cells and the bottom of the pack. The advantage of gas tanks is you can dent them like crazy before they fail (and they're cheap!) Yeah, Subaru Outback...

The overhangs are short, it's the center that needs protection. Personally I think they should cede the off-road EV segment to Rivian. With air suspension the Gravity will do fine on normal dirt roads as-is.

It's a gearbox in the hub that adds ground clearance (and usually has a reduction gear to increase torque for larger tires). G-Wagen is only car I know that has them as a factory option: I am joking though, obviously GravityX will be an appearance package. I don't actually expect them to...

Because they could have just made it like this: It would hold more than 2 bikes, cost less, weigh less, and wouldn't need a dongle. I would gladly accept all that for some extra seams in the black plastic.

Except for Joshua Tree which has 4 NACS stalls (picture is at a NACS stall.) I wonder if NACS has the same limit? All Teslas charge at more than 500A (900A! for Cybertruck). Only other car I've heard of is Volvo EX90 but nowhere to charge it that fast in the US since Tesla limits non-Teslas to...

Gravity Outback? Hopefully it has portals, 40s, and central tire inflation.

If I were designing it I’d have a small dc dc to generate low power 12v for the always on stuff and leave the 12v battery for emergencies. I swear I remember seeing that some EV was doing it this way. Tesla has killed a ton of 12V batteries by cycling them while the car is parked. It has...
