Gravity [Dream Edition] Reservations Tracker

[fleming23]

I'm in a similar situation. I haven't officially cancelled my GDE order, but later today I will pick up a new 2-year lease on a Vistiq Premium Luxury. I almost took a Rivian Quad Max (still have that reservation too) but it would have been my third Rivian and I just wanted something different. My Macan EV is getting picked up by Carvana on Sunday, and so far, all has been pretty painless. I've heard that selling to them is easy, just never buy from them, so we will see how that goes. As far as valuation, Carvana offered me significantly more than most other dealers, and about the same as Rivian was going to offer on the trade - but like you could not apply it to a R1S lease because it was valued too high.

Providing an update:
I have moved forward with getting a lease on a Rivian R1S (tri-motor). I wouldn't say it was painless, but I was fairly satisfied with the process and Rivian's willingness and responsiveness to making it happen quickly (a little over 2 weeks because they had to ship the car up from New York).

Couple notes for anyone else thinking of making this move:
- My Lucid Air was valued too high to trade-in for the lease (the cap on the tri-motor was like $40k of trade-in value). They did give me a quote and suggested I sell the car to Carvana, which I was skeptical about, but the Rivian valuation and Carvana valuation were exactly the same. Carvana initially had trouble valuing the car because it was "special" but resolved that fairly quickly as well (within a day). And Carvana is actually surprisingly easy to do: they are picking up the car from my house and I scheduled it for a few days _after_ my scheduled Rivian pick up.

- With the end of July incentives that Rivian still let me have (I'm not picking up the car until tomorrow morning, Aug 2) I am pretty much "breaking even" in the trade-in value of the Air and getting a 3-year lease on the Rivian.

Was really looking forward to getting the Gravity, but with no delivery in sight, and very little communication on delivery timing, and on what the trade-in process would actually look like, and leasing would actually look like, I am pretty frustrated with Lucid and apprehensive that the trade-in process from owning an Air to leasing a Gravity would actually "go smoothly", so I pulled the trigger on the Rivian to grab the end of July incentive.

Good luck to everyone! Hopefully the Gravity's start coming out soon!

Glad another option worked for you.
Hopefully, we'll see you and your Gravity order on here in three years.
