    The Changing EV Climate in the U.S.

    In a recent interview R.J. Scaringe of Rivian spoke of how the growing antipathy toward EVs in the U.S. might have the small advantage of thinning out the competition for the pure-play EV manufacturers. But he and the author of the article mentioned Tesla and Rivian several times as those...

    Another Reminder of How Good Lucid Engineering Is

    "Car & Driver" just reviewed the Cadillac Escalade iQ. Without even mentioning the Gravity, the review was a clear reminder of just how good Lucid space packaging and chassis engineering is. They all but said don't expect to do anything but wallow when you're not cruising down a straight...

    All About That Squircle

    I. LOVE. THE. SQUIRCLE. One of my chief worries while waiting for our Gravity was the squircle steering device. The yoke we had on our Tesla Model S Plaid was the most odious thing I had ever experienced in driving a car, and over a year of living with it never improved things. We finally...

    Tailosive EV Sees the Light

    Tailosive EV (~70k subscribers) used to cover Tesla very heavily and was on the border of being a fanboy. He recently began to pay more attention to Lucid and became progressively more enamored of the brand. In the past couple of days he posted a video review and test drive of the Gravity...

    Gravity Radar Installation

    Wanna see what's under the frunk liner in your Gravity? Our Gravity DE finally made it from the PPF installer to the radar installer, where we're having a Uniden R9w radar/laser detector installed. Should get the car home tomorrow afternoon and finally have it to really check things out...

    Gravity Dream Edition Performance

    I thought that the Gravity Dream Edition, despite its 242 more horsepower, had the same maximum torque -- 909 ft-lbs in Launch Mode -- as the Gravity Grand Touring. But this "InsideEVS" article gives the Dream Edition torque as 1,107 ft-lbs. I think Lucid itself was the source of the 909...

    Our First Rolls Royce Spectre Sighting in the Wild

    Saw this at the valet stand where we ate this evening. Rolls Royce's first BEV. A bit over the top, but pretty impressive nevertheless. EVs . . . everybody's doing it!

    Putting Lucid in Context

    This is one of the most intelligent opinion pieces I have seen on American EVs and where Lucid fits in: https://www.torquenews.com/17998/ive-owned-tesla-2024-model-3-rivian-r1s-and-lucid-air-la-heres-truth-about-build-quality

    More Tech Info on Gravity

    The article form the Society of Automotive Engineers has some technical information on the Gravity that I have not yet seen (unless my eyes glazed over in the long powertrain review Kyle Conner did with Emad Dlala and his team recently). In particular, although I knew the motors for the Gravity...

    Trading In a Car for a Lucid

    Has anyone had experience trading in a car against a Lucid purchase? I know that Kelley Blue Book handles trades for Lucid, but I'm wondering how closely the offers they give for a Lucid trade track the trade-in values they give on their website for any trade without reference to what it's...

    Lucid's Future

    I just came across this post from Tom Moloughney of "State of Charge" renown: It brought to mind a recent comment by Jason Cammisa on a "Carmudgeon" podcast, where he said that Lucid joins Porsche as the only other carmaker to get suspension dynamics and real-wheel steering right, to the...

    How Did You First Become Aware of Lucid?

    @borski mentioned on another thread that he first became aware of Lucid when he walked by a showroom and went in to check things out, triggering an interest that grew into his current very interesting relationship with the company and its products. I thought it might be interesting to poll...

    No idea whether this is another of those battery "breakthroughs" that never make it to market, but this does seem interesting: https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3298762/chinese-scientists-develop-injection-make-smartphone-and-ev-batteries-last-longer
