I didn't get one.

I've only had a brief text exchange with my SA over the past few weeks when I asked for an order status update. He said that our car was in queue to enter production around the third week of September. That's why I'm a bit suspicious / worried that Lucid may be speeding things up to hit some...

The order status for our second Gravity Dream Edition changed today to "In Production" with a VIN assigned: Abyss Black / Yosemite / 22-23" wheels. If this means that they have now addressed the hardware issues that are plaguing the Gravity DE we received on June 30, then GREAT NEWS! If it...

I must have slept through that "normal" let-the-market-decide epoch.. Government has been putting its hands on the scales of one industry and product or another for decades, no matter what party is in power. Tax codes have always favored certain endeavors and penalized others. The current...

Many years ago my boss bought his daughter a brand new Pontiac Fiero. A week later she was driving down Route 7 in Vermont when the transmission fell out of the car and landed on the pavement. Shit does happen.

I should have added my commiseration with what you're going through on this. Our Gravity has been in the shop for over a week after having already had two mobile service visits. It's not a pleasant experience, especially with a car we looked forward to with so much excitement. All that keeps...

I can't tell you how many videos I've seen of fires breaking out in Lamborghini engine compartments. And just google the history of BMW M3 engine problems.

I don't know what it is with EV drive units. We had to have the battery pack and the rear drive unit replaced on our 2022 Lucid Air and the battery pack, rear drive unit, and inverter replaced on our 2015 Model S. And four days ago "Out of Spec Reviews" put up a video discussing a motor...

It happened to us on one of our SC stops in the Gravity. But compared to a non-working EA charger or having to wait in line to get the only one that does work, 160kw is like manna from heaven.

We've had it happen in Charleston, SC, in Pooler, GA (outside Savannah), and in the two I mentioned today. In nine years of driving Teslas, we never came up on a station that was completely out service. This is far and away the more common situation. But what you're getting used to is often...

I think we're going to be watching the Service Centers move up the learning curve in real time on the Gravity. Our Gravity is in the shop now, and I see it in the service manager's hesitation or avoidance in answering questions about how each problem will be addressed -- a very different...

The bad news is that the last two EA stations we tried were out of service (Sarasota and Naples, FL). And EA stations being partially inoperable (with lines waiting for the one or two charge posts that were working) or being completely off-line has been most of our experience with EA since...

They did on our Gravity, although we used a clear film all around. The lower front and rear plastic bumpers as well as the wheel well arches are actually painted and thus need protection, too.

I have probably one of the most problem-ridden Gravities that's been delivered thus far, but nothing that renders the car undriveable. It's already had two mobile service visits and has now been at a Service Center for the past week with work still underway. For what it's worth, in an earlier...

Yep, I've noticed that on Tesla SC maps. We're thinking about a cross-country drive -- the northern route in one direction and the southern route in the other -- and I was surprised how many SC spots dropped off the map when I turned on the "NACS-partner" filter, particularly in the upper...

U.S. investment in EV battery production being pulled back: https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/trump-ev-tax-credit-cuts-091300454.html

The only downside I have experienced in almost four years of road tripping in a Lucid was the challenge of the CCS charging infrastructure, particularly with Electrify America's dismal service in the southeastern U.S. (People out west seem to have had fewer issues.) After nine years of owning...

You get a significant fee reduction (around 25-30%, depending on location) if you have a $11.99 monthly subscription for Tesla Supercharging. However, you can't yet use it with plug-and-charge, although Lucid says they are working on that. All you have to do is initiate the charging session...

Been called worse.
