    LUCID Gravity Lease vs Finance

    I compare everything to buying the car with cash. You have $131,109.38 on hand and you decide what to do with it. You can buy the car right now, but you're left with $0 for investments. Or you can get a loan and invest this money instead. In that case instead of dropping full $131,109.38 we...

    LUCID Gravity Lease vs Finance

    I'm not a financial expert. I'm just a guy with Excel who is waiting for Gravity and paperwork to compare all of my options. I recommend to check your numbers on your own if you have option to do that. Don't trust a random guy on internet. I don't believe I have any major issues in my...

    LUCID Gravity Lease vs Finance

    Thanks for confirmation. Based on the numbers you provided (and assuming I didn't make a mistake in my calculations) I got this. If you're not planning to invest the best option is of course buying with cash (assuming that you need to pay back EV tax credit for early lease buyouts). If you...

    LUCID Gravity Lease vs Finance

    Leases are considered bad, but all depends on your situation. Are you investing your money? Because of USD getting weaker the stocks are growing pretty fast. So $7,500 + lower per month payments can be more beneficial over 3 years than just buying or a loan even with lower APR. Btw. what tax...

    Gravity Bugs / Issues

    How can your partner drive a car that shows km/h but all speed limits on roads are in miles? Did your partner memorized typical mph limits as km/h? I also came from Poland (not that it matters) and I swapped to using mph immediately as it doesn't make any sense to stick to metric system. But...

    I hope it won't bug out in accident and prevent opening doors.

    Losing out on $7500 credit? Do you think lucid will provide an incentive?

    And as long as you don't have SA that takes 2+ emails and 2+ weeks to respond every time.

    Photos (or Video) of the 5-Seat Gravity Cargo Area?

    I'm also very surprised. I was told the same that it won't be possible to add 3rd row + the renders in the configurator show no 2nd row tracks or mounting holes/indentation for 3rd row seats. Now I'm curious whether renders are incorrect or if it's a one off 5-seater made on 7-seater "platform".

    Should I make a reservation?

    I finally found some time to look at it again. Should we calculate residual from net cap cost or form msrp? I always assumed we supposed to use the agreed car price (aka net cap cost) and not msrp. Asking because in your calculations you have [residual_percentage = residual/msrp*100]. This won't...

    Gravity Delivery Discussion

    How long did it take for your SA to reach out to you after placing an order? I know they are busy, but it's almost a week since I put down the deposit. Am I impatient?

    LUCID Gravity Lease vs Finance

    Does the agreement mention conditions for the ev tax credit recapture? I assume they only do that in specific situations.

    Should I make a reservation?

    I can't edit my post... But I think I understand what you did there. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Did you use min specced Gravity vs differently specced Gravity and tried to find residual and money factor and assumed that money factor will be the same for both? I think that's a very big...

    Should I make a reservation?

    I looked at your post and MatLab calculations. In the calculations we are missing 2 variables. There are infinite number of solutions for residual % and money factor that will give you the monthly payment you specified. I'm not sure why MatLab decided that 62% residual is the answer. Did it just...

    Should I make a reservation?

    Thanks @WeighingGravity, I wonder how orphaned car are handled? Do they call people who ordered the same color first? I wonder if there is some rule they follow. I think I'm open for a non-matching swap, but there are a few things I consider must haves. I might be wrong but I don't think...

    How Gravity handle long parking times?

    Thank you. I tried searching the forum, but either the forum search is not the best, or I'm not using the right keywords, or I'm bad at searching in general. Tried stuff like "long parking", "airport parking", "unused", "parked". Only found story about one person who left the car in airport...

    How Gravity handle long parking times?

    I bet new owners are driving their Gravities (?) almost every day so it might be hard to get answer to that question now. But I wonder how does Gravity handle being parked and unused for 2 weeks or more. I work from home and it's common for me to not use my car for 2 weeks. I know that some EVs...

    Should I make a reservation?

    I placed an order for GT for now and see where it will take me. I'll try to ask about available options once SA contacts me. I'm not considering DE since I don't care about extra HP or some of the included options. It also doesn't make any sense for me to spend extra $25k to save $7.5k on tax...

    Should I make a reservation?

    I want to hear your opinion. I'm considering getting (most likely leasing) Lucid Gravity GT, but I wanted to test drive it first before making a final decision. I had a chance to see the car and play with it for some time in Lucid Studio University Village in Seattle. But they don't have a car...
