Gravity Delivery Discussion

[9point81]

My SA has ghosted me. I tried another's responsive SA and got radio silence. Wrote to [email protected] and they won't give me a different SA. Seems they really don't want to sell cars.

Anyone have an SA or anyone @Lucid that responds? I'd love to ask "what is the best guess when we can get cars with HUD and Tech Package?". I doubt they know but I'd feel better at least asking.

TY.

You are not going to get any kind of accurate answer from any of the SAs bc they don't have that information. You are asking them to take a WAG that means nothing really, and people would get mad at them when the guess is wrong. Only thing to be done at this point is either continued patience, move on to a different spec of your Gravity or move on to another vehicle.

My SA said there is no current Gravity in production with HUD, their guess is October - which is Fall

Honestly if Lucid opt to have referral code for Gravity it would possibly create more momentum & interest for new buyers. It's basically free marketing

Currently demand is not an issue for Lucid Gravity. Supply is their main issue. There are many of us on here who placed order many months ago with no sign of pending delivery in near future (especially if you want GGT with tech pkg). I would not expect referral code offers until supply chain issues have been fully resolved and they have worked through the large backlog of orders.

Between the apparent disregard for customers and lack of reasonable communications, I had hoped they would be different from Tesla. That does not appear to be the case. It's disappointing.

I don't need a bug free car nor do I need one quickly. Guess that works in my favor. But regardless of company, treating customers like this is just not the way I prefer to do business with anyone. They could do so much better.

Agreed, but why the Timothée Chalamet collab - marketing funds could have been spent better elsewhere or allocating those funds for free shipping from the Lucid store

They're still selling Airs too.

Things have strangely gone quiet on my expected delivery. Went through the process of getting an orphan GGT to be shipped from Arizona to nyc (paid 2k for the shipping) and haven't heard anything from SA since early last week. Completed pre inspection on my air lease. Fingers crossed.

I know this is off-topic, but . . .

Our house is at the end of the pavement just as our road enters the CREW Bird Rookery Swamp, a 60,000-acre nature preserve. Yesterday morning a woman was hiking up the road and just beyond our house was attacked by an alligator. It was only the second gator attack in Florida this year, and it comes just as gator eggs are hatching and the females are on high alert (as males will eat the hatchlings).

Okay, last post from me about alligators. But since a lot of people reacted to the report of the attack (post #3,786 on this thread), here's what I found out from talking to a Sherrif's deputy the next day:

The woman accidentally stepped on the tail of a 7-foot gator. (Sounds strange, but it can happen on the trails in the preserve if you're photographing or otherwise not watching your footsteps.) The startled gator spun around and bit her on the leg and arm, apparently responding defensively rather than actually trying to attack her. (Even a 4-foot gator can sever an adult's arm when trying.) The woman suffered several broken bones but is going to recover well enough, assuming sepsis doesn't set in. (A Florida landscaper was bitten on the arm several years ago while stooping into the edge of a lake to trim some weeping willow branches. The bite did not appear immediately life-threatening, but she succumbed to sepsis about a week later.) Fortunately, the woman had a companion who was able to summon help.

The deputy did not know whether the gator had been caught by the trapper Fish & Wildlife dispatched to the scene. Given the circumstances of the encounter, I hope the gator was not caught. They are ancient and fascinating creatures that we enjoy watching for hours on end and into whose environment we are intruding in these situations.

Did you get a call from your SA noting that your vehicle is ready to be shipped?

That's also self-defense. Let the gator live!

No. Still in the preparing for delivery phase in the website, software update 3.2.2 as of August 13.

Playing devils advocate, you’re asking questions that you already know the answer for. The website states fall availability, Lucid emailed and said fall availability. Why ask the question?

Should an SA respond to 50 emails on questions people know answers to or should they respond to emails pertaining to people’s actual orders and delivery. The typical rule of Customer Service should be that every email gets a response but none of us know how inundated SA’s are behind the scenes so I can potentially see why things are going unanswered if people are just inundating them with questions they’ve already been given answers for.

Hmm...Interesting. Coz last Friday my SA called and mentioned that my car was getting ready for delivery by the end of this month. But my dashboard still says In Production. I still don't see the software update versions either. Just an error message.

I think they should send us all (especially the ones who are closer to the delivery date) a free "Sanctuary Mode" app which we can all play on our favorite screens when we get anxious about our deliveries...

Our house is at the end of the pavement just as our road enters the CREW Bird Rookery Swamp, a 60,000-acre nature preserve. Yesterday morning a woman was hiking up the road and just beyond our house was attacked by an alligator. It was only the second gator attack in Florida this year, and it comes just as gator eggs are hatching and the females are on high alert (as males will eat the hatchlings).

We don't have any details about the circumstances of the attack or the woman's condition other than she was bitten on the arm and leg. She was airlifted to a Tier I trauma center in Ft. Myers. Gators do not view upright adults as prey and will try to get away from them unless they feel threatened (such as when guarding a clutch) or cornered. About the only time they attack a human is if the human is prone or bent over in or near water, or if there is something with the human that does look like prey, such as a small dog.

The woman was hiking along a canal that runs along the dirt-road entry into the Rookery and that ends at our property line. Females often lay their eggs on the banks of the canal as it's easy to keep the clutch under watch there. Gators use that canal to go into the swamp at night. At the time we built, we did not realize our lot was the migration path from the end of the canal to the large lake on the other side of our property into which many gators move for the day. (We routinely see gators crossing our yard toward the lake in the morning and crossing back to the canal in the evening.)

Here's one heading for the lake in the morning:

And one heading back toward the canal (shot from our living room window):

I still can't get over this in my mind... looking out the window and seeing a friggin creature which can eat you alive!!! (but then I heard pigs can do it too.. knowledge from the movie Snatch!).. just for reference...when I see out of my window, I see squirrels!
