Lucid - Gravity
Please note that while the Lucid Gravity is an SUV, the tow hitch has a very limited vertical load capacity. It is rated for only 119 lbs of vertical load, which means it cannot safely support a four-bike hitch rack setup, especially with heavier mountain bikes or e-bikes.

This is important because the vehicle’s overall SUV performance does not mean the hitch can handle the same rear-mounted bike capacity as a traditional full-size SUV. For anyone carrying four bikes, the safer setup would be to carry two bikes on the rear hitch rack and two bikes on the roof.

This keeps the load within the hitch’s weight limits and avoids putting too much stress on the rear-mounted hitch system.

If anyone has solutions or advice on this topic love to hear more.
 
There are a number of threads on this. Search “hitch,” “bike rack,” and “tongue weight”
