Gravity Delivery Discussion

I want my GDE and GGT now. But, I am mindful of my very early S and X - both of which creaked like pirate ships as long as I had them.

I was told pre-vin goes to production in 8-12 weeks - which is when VIN would come. Again, ask an SA and each will give a different answer.

Patience. Though I would get much more use out of my Gravity in summer than fall or winter…

Agree on the patience.
And yet patience is relative to each individual.
Some don't have time for patience.
For those who don't, options may exist through contact with their SA.

The 8-12 weeks pre-VIN period you stated is somewhat consistent with what my SA had told me previously.

Again, back to patience; I'm in no rush (another relative term).
EOY would be nice.

The one missing feature was the Power Package, which I'm going to wait for.

Oh, that's right -- I forgot that the Power Package was also a missing feature in these available GGT's.. or at least in a few of them. I imagine that most people would want the outlets. I definitely find them to be a missing feature in my current EV. Thanks for confirming and adding more details.

I wonder if these GGT's were produced before they decided to add the Power Package back in as an option, after the HUD/Tech package was removed as an early option. Hopefully the next batch of GGT's will include them.

Hard to know the exact reason for the GGTs w/o the Power Package.
It could also be these were ordered w/o the package by customers, but were cancelled, for different reasons.

I found this funny, because your description (creaking like a pirate ship) describes my not-early 2022 Model X Plaid to a T !

Can confirm. Have the same model, same year, same pirate ship creaks

FWIW Tesla release four cars and messed up every release.

5... but yeah.

I don't think that's a function of being an early build but rather of being a Tesla build. Our 2015 Model S had one of the lowest structural rigidity numbers of any full-size sedan at the time. I thought our 2021 Model S Plaid would have addressed this, but by 10,000 miles it had developed squeaks and groans in its rear quarters.

On the other hand, our early-build Air Dream P (No. 154) was as solid as a rock. The Air Dream that replaced it after a wreck (No. 395) now has over 36,000 miles on it and remains as quiet and rock solid as a vault.

I got the same feeling of solidity while test driving the Gravity on city streets that I get in our Air but that I have never gotten in any Tesla I've owned or ridden in. This is the kind of thing that Lucid sweats and that Tesla doesn't.
