Gravity Air Suspension range published!

[037]

If the ride height ranges from a low of 5" to a high of 9", then something is not right with what I'm seeing.

The first picture below is from a showroom event. The second is from the recent NYC event. That looks a lot more than a 4" difference lowest to highest. @037 did you see any set at lowest ride height?

Lowest

See if you see camber changing as it goes up and down if you get the chance.

communicating with driver difficult so pushed the buttons on my own and did not measure anything but height drop

Looks good.

The picture I took at Tyson's was at an angle, not a straight view like yours.

Thanks for the follow up.

In both one of the shots above and this one I believe I see noticeable positive camber on the rear wheels at max ride height.

That look goes away when the car is lowered:

Maybe we can get some additional angles of the wheels to confirm.

Thanks. So these screen shots from your video look like the opposite. So I can’t tell…

Opposite?

Not the latest version of the software, but…

I'd buy a Gravity if it were slammed and chopped.

If I (5-7) can't reach the middle of the roof when I wash the car = not interested.

Some young wipper-snapper fug me up a photoshopped slammed and chopped Gravity so folk can see what I mean.

Finger math told a different story

Finger math told a different story

With the shading in the software image, it's somewhat hard to locate the exact top of the tire.
Also, the software image provides a ground clearance measurement.
I think we (or maybe just me) have been thinking of the distance between the lower part of the body panel and the top of the tire, not ground clearance.

Ground clearance distance does make more sense to know when you think about it from a driving perspective versus the overall apperance.

That lowest ride height shown on the Gravity screen looks very much like what I saw at the Tyson's studio.
However, there is a bit of angle in my Tyson's shot.

The shot that you took @037 shows a bit more space.
Again, I'm happy.
Don't need to be Cheech or Chong.

The driving perspective is all I personally care about. I want whatever efficiency improvement might come from hugging the ground a bit more at highway speeds, but the ability to rise up high when I'm going slow in the snow. That said, I have found the discussion speculating how suspension/wheel geometry may vary with ride height to be interesting. I'm not sure I'm discerning enough of a driver to judge the difference, so I guess I'm content to assume that the Lucid engineering team made a good judgement about the various tradeoffs.
