I learned today from my SA that the Seattle Lucid Studio will be getting a GGT on Saturday (not for test drives, unfortunately). I haven't seen one in person yet, so a trip to Seattle is definitely in order soon. I'm excited!

Lucid Gravity Reservation Tracker: Add Your Gravity Reservation
GGT in the Seattle Studio!
- Thread starter dlmorgan999

WOOOHOOO! Finally close enough to go see! (We live in Oregon also).
Thank you for the heads up. I had been calling the studio every few weeks or so, and they said that they would notify everyone who had signed up to the email list. Maybe they are waiting till they actually get it in?
For me, it's just something to hold me over until I can do a test drive.
Also, seeing it in person (especially to judge colors) is generally better than photos or video. Plus in my case, I'm going to be in Seattle in two weeks for something else anyway.- Joined

I assume this would help them get more exposure and drive foot traffic to explore the Air while at the studio
But if they are at the showroom and complete functioning vehicles why not use them for test drives?
Depends on location. If the showroom is in a shopping mall, which I believe the Seattle one is, it can be extremely hard to just get out and back in.
Also, I believe Washington does not allow non dealer test drives. Rivian and Lucid both can't provide test drive or sales advice from the showroom.
That's correct. You can't get a test drive in Washington at all.
There was a bill introduced this year to correct this situation, but it got killed by a committee chaired by an automobile dealership owner.
It might be temporary as they are getting only one Gravity. They'll want as many folks as possible to check it out, it is easier if it's stationery in the studio, than in between demo drives.
In WA state, demo drives are still unallowed for car companies not selling through dealerships (except Tesla who got an exception), and only earlier this year Rivian and Lucid found a loophole through "educational drives", so it can also make the managing of demo drives complex.
The Lucid studio in Seattle has 3 cars spots with AIR for educational drives, so I guess once they can, they'll add the Gravity to the roaster.

I won't be getting up there for a couple of weeks, but that's awesome. Thanks for the report!

I get the test drives are good for current order holders but cars showing up in showrooms only to be told you probably can’t have it to next year at the earliest. Not sure how well that’s going to go down trying to secure new orders.
I understand that, but as a data point, when I got my first Tesla Model S in 2012, I put down $1,000 on a car that nobody had even seen - let alone driven, and it was six months before my car arrived. So while I suspect that will drive some people away, others will probably feel like I did with the Tesla.

You’re also talking about a time when nothing else was available or competing with the Model S on the market. Now, more and more EV’s are available that compete directly with the Gravity (albeit subpar).
Fair point.
