So here's a fun little story.

I had taken delivery of a DE last month, after being convinced to upgrade from a GT for a faster turnaround but just ended up with an orphaned vehicle w/ 22/23" wheels when I ordered 20/21"s.

@Jackles had almost the opposite experience; ordered 22/23"s and ended up also taking an early delivery, but with the smallest wheels. Both of us have driven our cars <1k miles.

Turned out I was based in NorCal, and @Jackles in SoCal. We met halfway today at an Electrify America station, and all the credit goes to @Jackles for having both the expertise and the equipment to swap the tires himself. I ended up learning a bit about how to jack up the car and how the tire covers are set up on the smaller wheels; I also find it weird that they bolt them on with screws on the inside.

So in the manual, there are instructions in 2 separate places for letting the car know if you change its wheel size (under Settings → Vehicle → Tires). For the life of me, I can't find an option to change it, but I was able to drive it home fine and it seems like the biggest effect is just confused telemetry and maybe range estimates. Does anybody else's systems let them specify a new tire size?
 
Had a great time finally talking to and seeing another Gravity owner!
 
I bet the wheel size swap feature has not been added yet to the Gravity software. This was a feature that was long awaited for when I had my air, especially for us owner in the snow belt that often swapped between summer and winter tires.

So I'm not taking crazy pills—the feature was in the Tires section previously, but their customer service said it was moved/removed with a recent update. Hope they bring it back, or at least have access to it via some admin diagnostic interface.

I'd take it to a service center. Clearly Lucid is able to set wheel sizes somehow.

What is color of Gravity in background? Avatars for both of you show AG cars but the one in back does not look green.

Looks amazing! I love the muted lavender look in this photo. With other angles and lighting, does it sometimes still look green?

Looks matte green in the direct sunlight but most of the time it’s blue/purple.

@borski has his wrapped the same but in gloss.

Your only option will be a service appointment until they add it back into the UX.
