Do you mean the charge port? That can connect directly to the EV battery. But for vehicle to grid the "wunderbox" converts the DC battery voltage to AC and outputs out the charge port. Or do you mean the AC outlets, I think those are also powered from the "wunderbox" which is connected to the EV...

It will be top 3, not sure it will beat Taycan and Air GT. Air added 216mi of EPA range in 15 minutes, Gravity adds 260mi (starting from 0% so might be a little less starting from 10%). I bet the Air gets much closer to EPA efficiency than the Gravity does at 80mph. It's going to be very close.

The problem is 75mph range means three different things that are not 75mph range. Driving between 65mph and 75mph. Oscillating between 65mph and 85mph. Driving 85mph and looking down at speedometer annoyed when someone slows me down to 75mph. This is why there is such a large variance in...

What are the sensor difference between dream drive packages? Did they end up including LIDAR? Where is it located?

If you purchase you don't get it because of $80k price limit. You're right about income too. I hope very few people who qualify for the credit are buying $100k vehicles. Right now the German companies are dumping EVs on the market and losing money (great for consumers!). With state zero...

How does the efficiency compare to your Rivian?

There are a few 1000V NACS chargers out there and the Cybertruck doesn't charge any faster on them than it does on V3.5 Superchargers. It's limited by the crappiness of 4680 cells (very happy Lucid decided to go with tried and true 2170s) Even the Gravity is only 6 minutes faster on 400kW...

The difference is very small if there is one. It pulls the same ~325kW up to about 20% SoC that it does from V3.5 chargers.

There are no true V4 superchargers yet. The "V4" superchargers that exist are V4 dispensers with V3 cabinets so they are still ~500V chargers with a 500A current limit (for non-Tesla vehicles, Tesla vehicles can pull more). The Gravity is limited to 225kW on ALL available Tesla Superchargers...

Not eat the $7500? Right now demand exceeds supply and I doubt the people buying (not leasing) are getting the $7500 anyway.

They will do exactly what they did for the Air. Once they can produce more Gravity than they can sell at the current price then they will lower price (through incentives because actually price drops make current owners sad.)

True, I have no idea how many people lease and how much extra production capacity Rivian has.

Definitely possible that incentives get worse if demand increases as people rush to buy before end of the tax credit though.

You'll be fine. It's those of us that want to carry 4 mountain bikes that have a problem. E-bike people should just ride to the trailhead. :p I guess removing the battery and carrying it in the trunk would help.

Lucid should add some sort of CAD software to the car so you can simulate your bike and rack. :p I can confirm that bike racks can generate very large torques. I bent my Saris rack with 4 bikes on it, though admittedly I was driving quite fast on a dirt road. I drilled another hole to get more...

All owners should do this and hopefully it will embarrass Lucid enough that they fix it. lol. It is very annoying to back up with a trailer and it would make the total vehicle length too long to park.

600lb is max the tow ball weight (recommended 10% of 6000lb max trailer weight). A bike rack puts the weight much farther out which makes it larger lever and reduces the weight rating to 110lbs.

Going to need to add some anti-gravity to get two e-bikes + rack under 110lbs.

Going to pile on and point out that it launched 7 months ago. That the software team can't get keys to work reliably after 7 months is not a good sign. I will also victim blame and say that people should do their research and not buy the car if they care about these bugs. Personally I'm waiting...

I think you’re right but wow that’s a horrible diagram. At first glance it looks like the two balls are there to indicate the upper and lower bounds.
