3 Gravities at Milbrae Studio: 2 "VIP customer cars" being prepped for delivery!

[flarbear]

All of the panel gaps look very consistent except for this area. It's a lot of different body panels coming adjacent to each other along a very complex curve, though.

Are the windows tinted or comes like that? I think in the comfort and convenience package, there is something called Privacy Glass? Is that it?

I was going to cancel my order today but after seeing the pics it's making me think twice..... ugh!

The Gravity looks frickin’ AMAZING! I hope you don’t cancel…I want to live vicariously through you until I convince my wife to replace her Ioniq 5 with one!!

The windows did strike me as tinted super dark. Seems like it would not be legal in California, but not sure.

I was also at Millbrae yesterday and saw the Gravity. I don't get the minivan reference. I think many people who make the minivan comparison have not seen the gravity in person or have not had a minivan in their garage.

Because to take money for an order 2 months ago and not share any information whatsoever on when to expect said order is really poor communication on Lucid's part. I'm a strong advocate of if you take money for something no matter how small you owe it to keep your customers informed, not go dark. Seems they really weren't ready to take orders if they can't even provide an ETA on when to expect your delivery.

Basically "Don't reward poor behavior" or nothing will ever change.

I get why you may be frustrated, but this is peanuts compared to other pre-orders / reservations from other car manufacturers. Waiting years for a new model without communication is not at all unheard of.

That was before, not these days.

Yes, but Lucid made such a big song and dance about why they weren't taking reservations and pre-orders for the exact reasons you point out. They said that they're going straight to orders when the car is ready to go into production and low and behold what do they do? They take the orders and then treat them like a reservation.\ pre-order scenario and go dark. Should've just stuck to the original script.

Then to add insult to injury, they do a delivery event end of December and STIL can't give you an ETA on when your order is set to go into production. not a month, not a quarter, nothing

Funny, I noticed that as well. That trunk has been a bastard to get right in the Air and seems its going to carry over to the Gravity. It doesn't bother me but I know the "Panel Gap Police" will have a field day with it.

Unfortunately this is the exact same spot my eye was immediately drawn to. I hope Peter is truly ramping up slowly to get the quality right like he stated. I hope they are working on spots like this (along with the front quarter panel where the frunk has a similar situation on some of the Gravity prototypes).

It depends on the timeframe covered by "these days". My Ineos Grenadier had more than two years between the time I placed the reservation and the time I got a delivery date (received it a little over a year ago). The Scout reservations have been open for a couple of months for allegedly a 2027 delivery. The Cyber Truck reservations... the Tesla roadster... I'm sure there are more I'm not aware of.

Rivian. Very long wait.

Compromise nothing - you should do things better than the competition.

It's hard to live up to your hype just ask "Engineered like no other car in the world" or "The ultimate driving machine". Hopefully Lucid will walk the talk and not drop the ball like those two German makes.

It's worth noting that BMW is now #1 in worldwide luxury car sales. Dropping the ball has worked well for them.

But when were they last the Ultimate Driving Machine?

Those are all cars that were not yet revealed or expected to be delivered within a few months per the company. It would be similar if they took orders at reveal a year ago but they didn't. That's why it's not the same.

For those of you on the West Coast - 3 Gravities and 4 Airs in LV this week.

And yet they came with expected delivery dates (just like Gravity when the orders opened up) that were off by orders of magnitude. The dates for Gravity are still technically within their reported time frames - deliveries start by end of last year (which they did) and come in bulk this year (which we have no evidence that it won't happen, nobody realistically expected January 1st). Those projections were much tighter than any of the others and they do seem to be meeting them thus far.

Understand youir point, but why miss out on a great vehicle just because you got mentally hurt waiting? It's your loss isn't it? It's a brand new vehicle, these things happen and I wouldn't fault Lucid.
