I got the text this evening that I've been waiting for.
My SA texted me to let me know my Gravity is through production and headed to Tysons.
Should be ready for pickup in early August.
A couple of logistical request I made, that may benefit some:
- As mentioned in a previous post, I don't want to drive the car the approximately 100 miles from Tysons to my house, so I've asked if the car can be delivered to the Mechanicsville SC that is across town from me. They have to do the inspection at Tysons. My SA is going to talk with the delivery team to find out what's possible. Delivery to home is possible; with cost, as some already know. SA will follow up with me tomorrow.
- I would like the aero covers removed at Tysons and the center caps installed. If not, I'd like to be billed for the caps and have them placed in the car for me to install myself.
An FYI for those of you in states that require a front license plate, but are not having the license plate frame put on at the factory; they are required by law to provide the front license plate frame, so it will be placed in the car at time of delivery.
One final bit of info to give perspective to those accepting orphans recently:
My SA offered me this car when I texted her on July 10. My dashboard immediately went to "In Production" and the VIN showed in my dashboard.
When I asked how long to delivery, she said "I'll give you the standard 30-45 days response", but she also didn't know how long it had been in production.
She said today that the car came out of production yesterday. She usually gets a message when a car is through production. Not this time. She was checking the status of her customers' orders and saw today that mine was completed yesterday and ready for transport. Going with the completely unrealistic premise that production started the Monday (7/7) before I texted her and excluding weekends, July 7- 23 is thirteen weekdays. Obviously the car was not built in 13 days. So, if you are offered a car already in production, there's no telling how long it's been "in production".
I had a clue today that something was up.
A pickup location showed in my dashboard. Hadn't been there before.
I saw it today when I signed in and was looking through the Lucid store.
I resisted the urge to text my SA and then she texted me this evening.
