Gravity Delivery Discussion

[msaunders9430]

Only has a few issues at delivery (paint swirls and panel on the seat).

What do you mean by "panel on the seat"?

Just that little part on the left side of the 3rd row seat. Wouldn’t go flush like the other seat.

Weird, yeah that’s something that service should be able to fix, not sure what gets checked in PDI. As far as the GPS it’s close to where you’re at but a street or two off? I’ve had Apple Maps and Waze do that in the Air a couple times. Maybe overnight sleep will reset it but yeah otherwise that should be a service ticket also, CS might even be able to try a remote reboot or remote software update re-push.

If I’m not mistaken, isn’t there a difference in the 2nd row floor mats between 5 and 7 seat variants? It appears so in the online configurator: the 7-seater 2nd row mats have a series of “notches” to accommodate the 2nd row sliding forward on rails (presumably for third row passenger access) while the 5-seat variant is a solid uninterrupted mat.

There are photos of the mats for the front passenger seat, front driver seat, 2nd row and two photos of the mats being the second row (I didn’t want to fold down the seats to get a better photo). I have no 3rd row of seats.

I was disappointed I wasn’t allowed to drive the car before accepting delivery.

That was rather weird to hear during delivery. I had test driven a Gravity back in May, but couldn't drive the one I was about to purchase. I get it, but definitely different from the traditional dealership experience.

I am 5 hours from the closest test drive. It is weird buying a car based on You Tube videos and this forum. I sure hope you guys aren't all AI bots.

But the one bug I have is the GPS. It’s as if the car generally knows where it is, but not precisely enough to navigate. So it’s constant rerouting. I did a few resets to no avail. I’m even impressed the walk up and away locks work with the key fob. Anyone have this GPS problem before?

Since our delivery in Florida on June 30, our satellite map and navigation system has shown the car in only three places which it switches randomly between: Newark, CA (I think near Lucid HQ), the desert around Casa Grande, AZ (the factory location), and in the Atlantic Ocean off the west coast of Africa. The only time I have seen the car on a map in Florida was on the mobile app, and that was showing where the car was the day before at an EA charging station, not where it was at the time I came across the map.

Also, nothing that works off the GPS system has functioned since delivery: no ADAS features that need to know the car is on an authorized route, no Homelink geofencing, no time zone adjustment of the clock to actual location, etc.

The car is in the shop right now to have this and other problems addressed. No what and when yet on the fix.

I can't speak for the others, but I breathe air and am physically bound by gravity.

Very down to earth of you

For those of us in the snow and muck, I have the exact opposite position.

Agreed - our snow, salt, and sand daily winter environment here in Park City destroys OEM mats quicker than my dog hearing the word “treat”.

I finally took delivery today of my Black GGT with the missed wheels, DDP, comfort, surreal pro and tow. Great car so far. Only has a few issues at delivery (paint swirls and panel on the seat). I was disappointed I wasn’t allowed to drive the car before accepting delivery. That’s a bit nerve racking. But the one bug I have is the GPS. It’s as if the car generally knows where it is, but not precisely enough to navigate. So it’s constant rerouting. I did a few resets to no avail.

dang why are you driving right through those people's living rooms?

It’s way more efficient taking that route!

I was able to drive mine before signing final papers…

I wonder if mine being home delivered made a difference. I was told they couldn't risk damage if I drove before day of official delivery.

I requested three days before delivery;during PDI.

Yeah, I just did it at delivery before I signed forms. And I was at KOP service center.

The reality of 2026 models does not match the configurator -- 5-seaters seem mechanically identical to 7-seaters with the 3rd row simply not installed. The 2nd row moves (unnecessarily). This obviously makes things simpler for GA and accessories, but is surely more expensive and I would personally expect it to change by the time the Touring trim is delivered.

I have a related question for those who have taken delivery of the 7-seater. If this is really true and the mat has these notch/slits in it, in my experience smaller carpet sections like this can get slippery and/or not want to stay in place, especially when you put any kind of lateral load on them - like throwing a bag in or stepping into or out of the car. Unless they’re somehow held in place (Velcro, hooks, etc). Has anyone experienced any trouble with this?

There are notches; I posted pictures here:

Yup, me too.

Shipped from TX on Saturday and arrived MA today, which was way faster than I expected. They shipped via OnTrac, which used to be LaserShip (a last-mile around here) which had a not-great reputation for misplacing Amazon packages, but no problems with the delivery for me.

The mats shipped in an unnecessarily large box, which is surely the reason for the shipping delays. The two smaller boxes inside are empty and keep the huge box rigid. The mats are very thin and flexible, and I think they should have just been rolled in a smaller box, which is how our OEM Model X...

All rows have posts to secure. The first row also has vecro dots on the carpet mats (not the rubber mats) -- the second and third do not.
