Window glitches are one of my main anxieties about buying a Gravity. I have no garage to park in (you wouldn't believe the bureaucratic obsticles to putting up covered parking in Lake Tahoe), and I fear coming out to a Gravity filled with snow.

I think there's multiple competing forces on car manufacturers and Apple/Google, and it's not yet clear how that will resolve. Car manufacturers are worried about their profitability, particularly in the face of looming competition from China, and they have fantasies of shoring up their balance...

I have considered buying an Air instead of a Gravity. I only carry humans in the back seat occasionally, for short trips (e.g. going out to dinner). My dog is the more consistent passenger. I asked her if the raised floor in the back of an AGT was a problem, and she just stared at me until I...

My impression is that it is a little more complicated than that. You're right about the physics being understood, but manufacturers do have to report a range that complies with the EPA's procedures for calculating it.

It's certainly true that uncontrolled acceleration usually turns out to be driver error. Realistically, the owners of expensive cars like Lucid skew older, and I'm well aware that someone is going to need to take away my keys at some point. I had to do that to my dad. But there are also...

Yeah, the useless stuff that dealers like to lard up a sale with is really annoying. Just one of the reasons that many people have a viscerally negative reaction to the traditional dealerships. I'd be thrilled if Lucid had a much more robust service network, but I'm happy to skip the...

I'll be very interested to see real world iX5 tests. The car is heavier than the Gravity, which will hurt efficiency, but it's also lower powered, which tends to help efficiency. Considering the battery pack is quite a lot larger than a GGT's, it could potentially offer up more highway range...

For all that there's a lot of gloom and doom by some here that Lucid's technology is seeming less impressive these days, I'm impressed by how much better the Gravity seems on paper compared to the coming BMW iX5. I didn't know much about the iX5, and decided to read up on it today. It seems...

I see Airs and Gravitys in Tahoe City regularly these days, presumably people driving up here for a short holiday. But rarely more than 2 in a day.

Near as I can tell, Lucid isn’t really working on autonomy. They're focused on building the vehicle platform, and hoping someone else can get the software side working. Personally, I think that's very sensible. They're need to get the basics right before they tackle something like in-house...

I also prefer to send an email. But it's well documented here that emailing Lucid is a waste of time, and calling them is better, even with all the problems they have answering the phone. Anyone who insists on sending them an email is tilting at windmills. Shouldn't be that way, but you're...

Why turn off regen? Does that provide better handling or grip in snow?

Lol, there should have been a *NOT* in there!

Talk about the way to appeal to the family market: I love how he describes the frunk as making a good diaper changing station. That had never occurred to me as a potential use before. Not that I'm eager to be changing diapers at this point!

I know for sure that most non-vehicle massage chairs have motors that are designed to run for only about 30 minutes continuously before needing a rest. Some chairs enforce that, but plenty of models let you over-work them, and that's a common reason massage chairs end up needing a repair. My...

Wouldn't a Lucid approved shop have familiarity with Lucid's process, and perhaps access to some number of non-public documents?

I've been hanging out here, evaluating whether I want to buy a Gravity. Frankly, the only reason I'm planning to move forward with that is because my closest service center is Rocklin, and multiple owners have posted that they don't seem to be overwhelmed. If I was going to be near one of the...

Turns out there is quite a bit of inventory that the SAs can see that we cannot see on the inventory page. If you filter for "any distance" and "available in 3+ weeks", zero Gravities are found, but the SAs can see vehicles 3 and 4 weeks out.

No, it's not all the same. Tesla has had to upgrade their hardware multiple times as they repeatedly discovered that it wasn't capable enough to run the steadily more computationally intensive software of newer FSD software releases. If you don't have HW4, they can't give you the best version...

"Better driver" probably has 5 different definitions if you ask 5 different people what it means. But from a simple crash frequency perspective, it's really not possible for an individual to evaluate whether FSD is as good as a human driver. That's because humans have a fatal crash for every...
