Choosing gravity GT vs DE

[jered]

The Gravity Dream is $139,900. A Gravity Grand Touring with the same options is $125,500. Net difference: $14,400

A base Tesla Model X All-Wheel Drive is $84,990. A base Tesla Model X Plaid is 99,900. Net difference: $15,000

I don't think this is a fair comparison. For most other performance-premium vehicles this is a shift from two to three motors. The Dream is still a two-motor configuration, so the boost is not the same magnitude (although I can't imagine wanting more power). For example, X AWD->Plaid is 670->1020 hp. Gravity GT->DE is 828->1070 hp. From an engineering perspective that's pretty amazing, but I don't think there's really and apples-to-apples comparison. (Nor do I think there's a need for a three-motor Gravity, although I'm sure there will be a Gravity Sapphire in due time...)

FWIW, If you include the larger tires I think the price difference is actually only $10,900, which isn't really a big percentage bump. If it was just a "performance edition" I wouldn't be interested, but it is positioned as more than just that.

My concern is that's value that depreciates pretty much immediately (I don't expect carry-over to eventual resale, although how are Air Dreams doing?), and I'd be hoping for some nice extras that aren't yet detailed (e.g. bundled mobile charger, all-weather mats, roof rails... if it's an all-inclusive price, really be all-inclusive), earlier delivery, service priority, etc. I don't want to pay for titanium bears -- that's like how Mercedes want $500 on the EQS to make their brand advertising louder (backlit logo).

Spoke with my sale guy today. The frunk seat is definitely included with the GT spec. He couldn’t give me an answer on the bento boxes for sure.

Wonder why they made the DE deposit nonrefundable
