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!

For me, it's just something to hold me over until I can do a test drive.What exactly is the point of getting these to the studios but not for test drives? This strategy makes no sense to me.
I assume this would help them get more exposure and drive foot traffic to explore the Air while at the studioWhat exactly is the point of getting these to the studios but not for test drives? This strategy makes no sense to me.
But if they are at the showroom and complete functioning vehicles why not use them for test drives?I assume this would help them get more exposure and drive foot traffic to explore the Air while at the studio
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.But if they are at the showroom and complete functioning vehicles why not use them for test drives?
That's correct. You can't get a test drive in Washington at all.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.
I won't be getting up there for a couple of weeks, but that's awesome. Thanks for the report!I can confirm that the Seattle studio does indeed have a Gravity in the showroom. It’s Aurora Green with Yosemite interior, dark package on 22/23 wheels.
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.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.
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).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.

Fair point.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).
