My biggest issue with Tesla dynamics had to do with regenerative braking, and it’s an area I think (some of) the Germans actually have an advantage, so I’m really hoping Lucid can do better. First let me clarify: the brake pedal on my E-tron GT (and by extension Porsche Taycan) did feel...

Newer, better than average review here: https://www.motor1.com/reviews/756565/2025-lucid-gravity-first-drive/ “Worrying was the glitchy software in the test cars on hand. None present had the head-up display working, and journalists driving another car reported that the lane-keep assist...

It’s not “fair”, but it is reality. These are the choices informed consumers now have. If the Gravity is worth $500 more a month today that’s an $1150 lease payment, not $1700, so the real question is if it’s worth $1100 a month more. There will always be those willing to pay to be first for...

A great GT car from a driver’s perspective- planted, comfortable, quite, balanced, very easy to speed in unintentionally. Very nice interior if a little over-styled. Miles better driver’s car than my previous Tesla, but not a car that you’ll want to get up early to go for a drive in (GT rather...

If it will be cross shopped or not depends on the individual- plenty here are not taking the 3rd row option, for example, so this will be viable for some, others will look at an EV9 or EX90, etc. Now I happen to believe the Gravity should be better than any of those for my use cases, the...

To be blunt I suspect the only way these lease numbers hold up for long is if Lucid ramps production very slowly and remains supply constrained. Because as good as the Gravity might be it’s just not a financially rational option at this level. For example: I note Car and Driver has now ranked...

I’ve read that the tray table angle is dependent on the seat angle. Meaning if the front seat is tilted forward the rear tray table is tilted upwards when all the way down. They’re using a fish-eye lens in the video and we can’t see the front seat angle well, but my take watching the video was...

I suspect as long as they are supply constrained prices will stay high, but I also suspect they won’t stay supply constrained for very long at a >$1.5k lease payment.

Leases are intentionally complicated, with many of the numbers buried to obscure the facts. One of the best ways to cut through this is to take the MSRP, subtract any down payment on the lease, and then divide what remains by the lease payment to get the number of months (years) you’d own the...

Given the choice any automotive company will position themselves as a “technology company”; the valuation multiples are far superior. It’s no accident that Tesla has been pushing the “tech company” narrative hard for the last decade, from full self driving to autonomous taxis to the “Optimus”...

The press release has $94,900, the website adds 1650 destination fee and 75 doc fee for 96,625 total. I’m not sure where the extra $25 went. I’ll also note that they are calling it a 2026 model year: https://ir.lucidmotors.com/node/9956/pdf

Jalopnik says 5904 and 6048 lbs, respectively. Usually that's in the press packet, I'm surprised they have different numbers. https://www.jalopnik.com/1833486/2025-lucid-gravity-suv-first-drive/

Actual con from auto guide: I'd have thought Lucid would be over this: "There was another problem with the car refusing to acknowledge the fob. My driving partner and I had stopped on the side of the road to swap seats, and when attempting to get going again, we got a warning message that the...

Yea. We almost need to pull out the negative quotes and put them here as they are so few and far between they’re hard to find. https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelvanrunkle/2025/04/15/test-driving-the-2025-lucid-gravity-a-supercar-in-suv-form/...

The autobahn is also likely the reason the Germans lagged in the EV revolution despite having the strongest engineering foundation from which to build. Back in the day when I lived in Germany my cruise speed on unrestricted autobahns varied from a bit north of 120 mph in for example Audi...

Porsche is is the luxury car market due to quality and price point, but most forget these cars were developed primarily as tools. Spend time in Germany and the 911 Turbo makes complete sense- it’s designed to get you to your business meeting in Frankfurt from Düsseldorf on an unrestricted...

I’m not sure you’ve made your point clearly enough to respond to… Two companies are not the same… obviously. Lucid products are not just geared towards sports car enthusiasts, but also families… As are the Cayenne, Macan, Taycan and Panamera (which together far outsell Porsche’s sports cars)...

To be fair it’s pretty easy to outsell anything if you’re willing to put stacks of cash in the trunk, which is essentially what Lucid has been doing. They are both losing a couple hundred thousand per vehicle sold and subsidizing leases to make payments in line with much less expensive cars...
