In case anyone in a NEM3 utility area is considering putting in solar PV, home energy storage batteries, and/or a smart EV charging station that can modulate its output power signal to match available excess PV, here's a snapshot of what my system is doing. July, August, and September are the...

Here's a great article on the current state of V2X. A list of updates for 2026 are at the top of the article. TL;DR don't hold your breath. I was interested and encouraged to see that AC bidirectional charging appears to have the edge over DC - though all beta programs I am currently aware of...

The Sapphire came on strong, while having greater range than all of its ICE competitors: https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/state-of-american-performance-corvette-zr1x-mustang-gtd-lucid-air-sapphire-czinger-21c

There's a lot of jargon and numbers in this CATL commentary about the state of solid-state batteries. The point seems to be that solid-state batteries will only be in high-end vehicles for a number of years...

I took advantage of a long drive today to check my phone's ability to charge on the wireless pad vs. the amount of power it needs to run Android Auto. Turns out that I lose about 5% of charge per hour with the phone on the wireless charging pad while running Android Auto, and it gets very hot...

Has anyone in California installed a license plate wrap to the front of their Gravity? The vertical height available in the car seems a little shorter than an actual license plate. I'm thinking I may have to trim the top and bottom border of the wrap slightly, but haven't ordered one yet...

Has anyone charged their phone successfully from Gravity's console USB-C outlets? Both of my Gravity's outlets will charge my Pixel 10 Pro XL phone very briefly on plugging in, at up to maybe eight watts for less than a second, then they shut off. Power comes back on again, briefly, when the...

We said goodbye to our 2022 Air GT a couple weeks ago, and just picked up our new Gravity GT this morning. We wanted a long-range EV that had better ground clearance than the Air and could do a little soft-roading. We also considered a Polestar 3 and Cayenne EV, but the Gravity had better range...

I've sold my Air GT and am offering the EZ-Spare kit I bought for road trips. Includes wheel/tire with zip cover, scissors jack, lug nuts, wrenches, sockets, and a bag. Never used. Cost $574 new with shipping, asking $200 for pickup in the San Francisco South Bay area. Sorry, I can't ship this.

I've sold my 2022 Air GT, and would like to donate its original mobile charging cable to a good home in the San Francisco bay area. This is a version 1 charging cable that isn't compatible with the RangeXChange adapter. Free if you'll come and get it in the SF south bay. Sorry, I can't ship...

I've sold my 2022 Air GT, and would like to donate its Tuxmat all-weather mats to a good home in the San Francisco bay area. They will fit Air Grand Touring cars that have velcro floormat retaining disks in the carpet (pictured) rather than posts. Tuxmats are the best carpet coverage, followed...

Just got this email from Rivian offering at-home demo drives. I stretched my welcome with my local Lucid studio to get a similar experience - driving on my home neighborhood roads, assessing how Gravity fir in my garage, etc. I'd like to suggest that a similar approach might be worthwhile for...

For those who ordered a Gravity without HUD - is there still an empty frame/bezel for the absent HUD in the dash top? Thanks!

Nice work by Lucid's engineers - Gravity's NCAP results look very good:

I was able to charge my Air at a Supercharger today, but only by initiating the charge using Tesla's phone app. Lucid's email says: "Start charging: Initiate your charging session via the Lucid mobile app (the Plug & Charge feature is not currently available for Lucid Air at Tesla charging...

I tried out using ABRP for navigation through Android Auto. A $4.99/month ABRP subscription is required to do this. Another user (@geosynch) mentioned that ABRP was able to pull battery state-of-charge (SOC) data directly from his car though the AA connection. I have used the third-party Enode...

Maybe this is old news, but it was new to me: Rivian has been building out many strategically located, open-to-all 300kW CCS charging locations. I might stop at one next week. Prices are a tad high at $0.65-0.75/kWh, but the ones I looked at had amenities like a code-locked bathroom, coffee...

I've been thinking about ordering a five-seat Gravity instead of seven. We don't need to carry more than four people, and the extra-deep storage space would come in handy. We would use it for road trips including some mild rough-road work, so I'd like to carry a full-sized spare (likely a front...
