All the news outlets I read weekly are running stories about high gas prices and electric vehicles being a salve. I’d be surprised if their sales aren’t buoyed by this situation. Fingers crossed.

FWIW, one can find a wider variety of cars if you exclude the towing package, which is not included with too many vehicles, and can be added on later by a service center. (granted, for an increased cost, though not that much in the scheme of things). Wheels can also be swapped with other...

I would guess this would take effect by them pulling money out of stock and bond funds. A friend works for a financial company and one of the gulf countries has billions invested with them. It's not great that Lucid is losing money, but it would take a lot of effort to unwind as an investment.

For anyone thinking of a test drive, if it would help you decide whether to buy, or be able to sway anyone at home, you may want to ask the sales department whether you can take it for an overnight test drive. I heard from a friend that their local sales office was quiet one Saturday night and...

I wonder if having one (or two, if needed) heated blankets plugged into the outlets would be better than turning on the heat for camping. At least, better in terms of less noise and probably less energy used. I haven't used a heated blanket since my parents owned one in the '80s, but I think...

Totally agree! I think it’s a miss by Lucid to not offer single tone color for the cars.. almost all cars are like that, and I think a lot of buyers don’t want the design of the car to stand out (or at least, not because of chrome trim). I hope they change it for v2 of Gravity. And offer blue...

Though we have a reservation for one, we May decide in the spring to not pull the trigger on our Gravity if there’s no news on the V2H front. There are other options available that would involve a less expensive vehicle to boot.

Just curious, did you ask for it, or did they offer it? I’m wondering how much wiggle room the SAs and managers have as we approach end of year, in terms of doling out discounts that they might otherwise not.

Were you able to combine it with any other discounts?

I think I’ve read that the optimal speed for range is around 25-35mph for electrics, depending on the vehicle and also assuming no hvac use. If you’re in the city in lots of traffic, you’re probably averaging less than that and the energy app should tell you that (thanks to Ron Burgundy for...

Would love to see pictures of the grey + Tahoe if you happen to take any shareable ones. I've found the grey to show differently depending on the surroundings (maybe it's reflecting its surroundings).

Lucid also recently fixed their online configurator so that you can still 3D “spin” the car even after you have changed the wheels, internal color, etc. Previously it seemed to only work if you didn’t change those items.

When you say you’re mostly driving around town, how short are the drives? If you heat up the car just to go down the street a couple miles, your efficiency will be poor for those first couple miles. After that, it should be better.

I do wish they were better about matching cars to orders. However - and I'm not sure what folks' color or options packages are like - but I've been seeing some pretty fully loaded ones available (or available in 2 weeks). I transitioned my order to Titanium to buy time, but would be happy to...

Does anyone know if there's an exploded-view diagram of the Gravity? If there is, perhaps we could tell if the aftermarket Model X rack would fit (unlikely, but you never know since they use the same removable hitch and share the same original designer).

100%. I just had to reboot my 2yo Tesla because it's wifi access keeps glitching out after a few days, and I'm a few weeks late in getting the latest software. I'll also add one data point, for those worried about spouses not being happy with some software bugs: it only took a month for my...

Just curious, has anyone owned a ppf'ed car long enough where they had to replace it or remove it? (That said, I owned 10+ year old cars, but never for 10 consecutive years or more myself.) I guess I'm wondering whether a 10 year warranty on ppf means it could potentially last even longer if...

Agreed. I'm hoping (perhaps somewhat foolishly) that we see some better numbers next spring/summer when the cars (and tires) are broken in, and folks are testing in 70 degree weather, in the daytime, with no heat. That said, my first electric vehicle got 240 miles highway range and charged at...

The EPA range is for mixed driving, including at least half city IIRC, not above-the-speed-limit highway driving. I agree that more 70mph range is better, and representative of many long trips, but the EPA should probably be publishing a second number for that type of driving. Like "450 miles...

What color/trims did you get? Just curious since you had someone compliment it so quickly.
