Does that just happen to be your delivery date? Or is that the special date in general when the floodgates will open?

 

[chrisppanda]

No one "sees" an estimated delivery date. They come from the SA and in most cases, still don't mean anything. All you can see is if your vehicle is "In production" on the Lucid web site.

That's helpful. Thank you.

My SA says end of the month. Fingers crossed!

Any chance you can grab a Dragy and measure some data shortly after? Car and Driver/Hagerty are moving much slower than anticipated…

Happens to be mine.

You’re not gonna like this answer, but I leave 6/25 for Kenya and will be offline largely until mid-July. I will do it once I’m back though, I swear.

I sure hope you do get it on 6/24 or 6/26 I am flying over and doing the pickup and test on my own, leave the key where I can find it.

Disagree……this is how typical production and delivery of a new model goes, especially for a small company like Lucid. We know it’s not purposeful, I’m sure you don’t want them to dump a car with issues in your lap and you would rather wait a bit longer.

I don’t think better communication with customers and delivering a good car are mutually exclusive.

 

[ejesse]

This is a tiny complaint in the grant scheme of things, but I find the fact that you can't do *anything* with the Lucid app before you take delivery to be annoying and a missed opportunity for customer engagement. At the very least it should show you the same dashboard as the website....

This surprised me as well. A webview of the logged in dashboard to at least show the order is not a huge lift in the grand scheme of things. Rivian does a decent job of leveraging their app pre delivery or without a car configured.

I was told region matters most only when they’re trying to place an order”orphaned” Gravity and there’s a spot on the transport and/or they want to deliver before end of quarter. Who knows.

So you’re saying I should go ahead and order two more?

Hey nobody said you can't collect and flip them, a bit of a riskier proposition these days

We joke, but my SA said they actually have “a lot” of people who ordered both a GDE and a GGT and will take whichever comes first. If folks don’t want the HUD, SA said it’s far more likely they’ll get their GGT first. I know color and wheels factor in. As does the truth. Right now, SAs seem to have the same prediction score as weather forecasters…

And before anyone asks, yes, I was told you can just get your deposit credited toward whichever Gravity you get. It’s not really non refundable as long as you do buy one.

I did that for several weeks... but ultimately cancelled my GGT. If my SA called me and said I coudl get a GT today I would happily drop my Dream order.

Just checked on my Gravity software version... it shows I'm now on 3.2.1. According to the release notes it has all this added functionality:
-Android Auto
-V2H Ready
-Halo Secure and 360 degree dashcam ability with optional USB storage device
-DreamDrive 2 Pro with full hands-free driving experience on highway and city roads
-Full-Color Augmented Reality HUD with tailgater and slow person in the left lane mitigation via deployment of optional Red Shells and Banana peels

Ok, I confess, all this is BS but I thought we needed at least a bit of hopium on this forum until we all get our cars delivered! Lol

What a great use of the defineable button… shells and bananas

Everyone see that Rivian after June 30 is no longer able to use the 7500 EV lease credit? It looks like their backer, JP Morgan Chase is trying to get ahead of the administration and no longer lets Rivian use that loophole, so out of Rivians control. I wonder what Lucid will be doing.

Maybe trust the source website vs RivianTrackr where this story came from and has since been removed

Offers - $7,500 Lease Credit

All Rivian leases are eligible for a $7,500 Federal EV Lease credit

rivian.com

If true and If Rivian has it removed before it needs to be officially removed then sucks to be them when everyone else is still offering it

In other words, they jumped the gun, caused confusion and quickly pulled the story to save face.

This is a fear of mine based on how long it is taking Lucid to deliver Gravity. I was planning to avail myself of the credit by leasing. And yes, I know their lease rates are outrageous, but it works for me.

I just heard from my SA that their logistics team in AZ is busily scheduling transports, and my delivery is expected next week.

 

[Ron_Burgundy]

Wait. Lucid has a logistics team? Where have they been?

The leasing isn’t that unreasonable, I originally thought the same. The only car you can really compare it to is the Escalade IQ and the rate is similar. The reason being, it’s just come out like the Gravity. When comparing leasing to an EQS, R1S etc. they’ve been out for well over a year so maturely they’ll have more competitive leasing rates.
