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

Probably right. will hold off.

At the same time. As a production vehicle that’s parked on the street…anyone can get a vin number if they wanted, we aren’t associating peoples names or config to them. It’s production time, the time to share info and get people excited.

As an fyi, Peter R wouldn’t share a vin either so no one will think less of you.

I don't have any sense of insult about the issue, but this order/delivery scenario has been a little strange.

First, Lucid said they were not going to take reservations for the Gravity because they did not want to deal with the inevitable timeline uncertainties. Thus they were going wait and go straight to orders once production plans were in place. I think that led a lot of potential customers to assume they would at least get an idea of a delivery window once they ordered. Indeed, removing those timeline uncertainties seemed to be the whole point of drawing a distinction between a reservation and an order. As @Blue Lectroid pointed out, when you order an Air you can also have a significant wait. That's true . . . but you nevertheless get a delivery date estimate.

Then, to further muddy the water, Lucid opened orders with a lot of unanswered questions: Why no Touring version and why a year wait for it? What would be the differences in the Touring and the Grand Touring, so that people could know whether they wanted to wait that year? (Remember that a lot of potential Gravity buyers have said they're dealing with lease expiration dates.) Why EPA range on only one configuration? Why and how long the delay on one of the colors that had already been on the show circuit for a year?

As someone who sat out a years-long wait with a reservation for an early Air and someone who ordered a Gravity as soon as orders opened, I have to admit I share the perplexity of some who cannot find the distinction Lucid attempted to draw between reserving a Gravity and ordering a Gravity.

Granted, this Gravity situation is playing out over a shorter timeline, but seeing pieces of the Gravity puzzle only drop into place since orders were opened (with some pieces yet to drop, such as the Touring setup) is very much like what happened during the reservation period for the Air.

I asked Derek Jenkins about Zenith Red on Gravity and he told me that he would like that color himself but there are no current plans for it. He followed up that comment with there will likely be additional Gravity colors in the future like we saw with Air. I would also like a Zenith Red Gravity and would wait if I knew for sure that it was coming.

Yes, yes, yes.
Gravity in Zenith Red. Please make it happen.

I left that hellscape formerly known as Twitter months ago, but it might be worth checking in every now and then if it means we'll see shots like this! Shame they aren't devoting much attention to their Bluesky account
