    Living with the Lucid Gravity: A Tesla Owner’s Journey

    That was legit what my kids were complaining about this weekend as I swapped out my Model X → Gravity. No easter eggs! No more games and "entertainment" on the back screen! I told them they can drive themselves on their own road trips if they wanted, otherwise I'm prioritizing my own sanity and...

    Living with the Lucid Gravity: A Tesla Owner’s Journey

    That's a particularly Luddite reductionist perspective. Cars didn't have security vulnerabilities where a key signal could just be replicated to unlock the vehicle with a simple tool, and cars also weren't controlled via apps and be expected to soft-sleep their OSs in anticipation for a user to...

    Software version 3.3.1

    I've only had the car for a few days. I received it already updated to 3.3.1, but this morning I got a message saying that an OTA updated the software—but as far as I can tell, it's still on 3.3.1 in both the app and in the vehicle. I didn't notice anything, other than that the electronics took...

    Living with the Lucid Gravity: A Tesla Owner’s Journey

    That's just…not how product development works. You ship your hardware because you need to exercise all aspects of your product, from design to manufacturing to sales and support. You ship it because there are a lot more users who put it in various conditions that no amount of internal testers...

    Gravity accessories slowly appearing

    Have people found any small/medium garbage cans or bins that work well within the Gravity? There are plenty on Amazon/Temu/AliExpress, but curious if people have something they take for longer road trips.

    Navigating in tight parking garages

    Interesting that you mention that—going through my delivery orientation today, the rep. pointed out specifically that the delivery team sets the auto-braking setting to "late" themselves because they know it's conservative and annoying.

    Gravity [Dream Edition] Reservations Tracker

    Please update my item to "delivered" as of today, but I did take an existing inventory vehicle. Aurora Green, Tahoe interior, 22/23" wheels.

    Living with the Lucid Gravity: A Tesla Owner’s Journey

    That's a great point, and it also touches on the realities of manufacturing, where scale and inventory matter. From Lucid's standpoint, with minimum orders in the thousands/tens of thousands, they need at least that many cars on the road and some % of owners who demand them to even consider the...

    Gravity [Dream Edition] Reservations Tracker

    So I ordered end of June and switched to DE early July, and was told that I was batched for some time in early October (so expect ~4–6 weeks for delivery from then). I'm taking an orphaned DE, though, so hopefully that car becomes available for someone else then.

    Living with the Lucid Gravity: A Tesla Owner’s Journey

    I do think that a part of the dynamic here is that Tesla tapped into a market that didn't previously exist before—the car-as-a-phone customer who values the software niceties and conveniences of frequent refreshes and updates and even Easter Eggs over other aspects of the car. Tesla does this...

    Driving experience w/ 22/23" wheels

    Thanks all for all your impressions. I decided to go for it—I'm hoping to take delivery of the car by this weekend. Thanks again!

    Driving experience w/ 22/23" wheels

    Hi, I wanted to gather the experiences of folks who opted for the largest 22/23" wheels. I have a 20/21" DE on order that won't be built for another 2–3 weeks at least (and then another ~month to ship it, I'm guessing), but I'm being offered another DE w/ the same specs for everything other than...

    Gravity [Dream Edition] Reservations Tracker

    When did you place your order for the DE (or upgraded it from the GGT)? I was told I have a batch # assigned, but I'm suspecting that it may be one of the last batches of DEs built.

    Gravity in the wild

    There are a few of us who have joined this forum, and then from the discussions and chatter were convinced to place an order too.

    Gravity Delivery Discussion

    I have a white interior Model X now so I'm not opposed to it, but it sounds like the experience from other threads here is whether it'll be as durable as the leather trims. Annoyed that I'm not getting any calls or emails from my SA, though; they claim they have absolutely no visibility into...

    Gravity [Dream Edition] Reservations Tracker

    Gah. So talked with a sales rep. at my local Lucid studio. He confirmed that all DEs are sold out, so now it's just a matter of assigning batch numbers to orders, which will eventually go to assigning VINs, then the production and delivery process. For mine, my batch isn't slated to start till...

    Gravity Bugs / Issues

    You would also be justified to do a reboot if it kept replaying Cocomelon.

    Gravity Delivery Discussion

    If it makes you feel better, I ordered my Green DE/Tahoe/20-21 w/ a similar timeline and my SA wouldn't even commit to a timeline, or even respond to my emails (they were more responsive when I called, though). No marketing emails either.

    Gravity: Helpful Tips for Automated Car Wash?

    Hmmm...is that a car wash on Vanness & 101 in San Francisco? The surroundings look...familiar.

    Gravity accessories slowly appearing

    Yeah, they charged me $25 for the mats when they came back the first time. The box it shipped in was obnoxiously big, though.
