Confirming same view on Windows PC, my Android, and my iPhone (chrome and safari).

Have you shared this with your advisor? They would be the best place to start.

Will do now

1. Once logged in, go to 'Lucid Gravity' in middle of screen
2. Go to 'Design Yours' on the left hand side of screen
3. The configurator should look like this:

Not sure if this is already known, but I just noticed that the Dream Edition configurator is now allowing a 5 seat vehicle build option! However, the range stays the same at 410 miles regardless of which seating you pick

Hmm. Thanks for posting this. I'd considered switching to the Dream to get a faster delivery when the smallest wheels became available, with the higher estimated range, but I was wary that the email announcing that those wheels were an option had in a footnote that the 410 mile estimate was for a 2-row, 5-seat configuration, and there's been no official word that contradicts that. The 2-row option appeals to me but it does feel like each downgrade from the fully loaded configuration is leaving more money on the table.

Wait, so the Dream Edition’s EPA rated range is projected to be less than that of the Grand Touring?

 

[Andretex]

Yes, because it has more horse power.

Even though I really wanted the Dream Edition, I chose to stay with the Gravity Grand Touring, 20 inch wheels and 5 seater for max range. Those options were not available with the Dream Edition.

This points out an interesting question. At launch, the Air Dream Edition Range -- with 933 hp -- was the longest-range Air at 520 miles, slightly exceeding the Grand Touring range of of 516 miles with its 819 hp.

This had led me to assume that when the Gravity Dream came out, its range might match or slightly exceed the range of the Gravity Grand Touring. (In one of his earliest interviews, Peter Rawlinson made the point that electric motors were more efficient when running lower in their power band, thus resulting in more powerful motors actually being more efficient than less powerful ones in most driving conditions -- the inverse of the situation with gasoline engines.)

Instead, when configured with the same tires and 7-passenger seating, the Dream's range dropped by 16 miles: 376 to 370. (Oddly, the Gravity Grand Touring range also dropped in switching from the 5-seat to the 7-seat configuration, but the seating change makes no difference in the Gravity Dream range -- leading me to wonder whether there are errors in the range figures on the Lucid website.)

If they had an option on the Dream edition to have an aluminum roof, I would be down to switch - as long as it did not cost more.

Interesting. I just checked my Design option in Lucidmotors.com and you can now choose 5 seater and 20inch wheels for the dream addition. It does increase the range to 410 ( compare to the GT at 450). However, the dream edition price is still the same $139,900, even with a 5 seater and 20 inch wheels. Hmm.

 

[flarbear]

Ugh, back to the GT for me. Same spec. Original order date of 11/7.

I'll follow up with details on another thread I started about shopping for a bridge car. My hand was tipped a week ago (before hearing about May deliveries) and I'm no longer in a hurry to get my Gravity.

I'll resubmit my info on the GT tracker, but I think someone who owns the doc will have to remove me from the DE doc?

The price is intentionally static. It is “all in” with whatever options you choose, and if you choose less expensive options, they’re fine with that - but the price is fixed.

This is only true for the DE.

And you don’t get a seat refund…win double win

This was a mistake that has been fixed.

 

[Andretex]

Yes, the 5 seat configuration is not an option now for the dream edition.

A thought directed at the 57% or so of Dream Edition reservation holders who are opting for the base or mid spec wheels. It’d seem like we could get a list/ thread going with GT buyers who’d be willing to trade wheels.

I’d propose splitting the profit: a Dream buyer, for example, who wants the base wheels links with a local GT buyer who wants top spec wheels (a $3500 option). Knowing they have a “customer” the Dream buyer then orders the top spec wheels and swaps with the GT reservation holder when their car comes in. The base buyer also hands over $1750, so each party gets 1.75k for their trouble. If for some reason that particular deal falls through I suspect others would step up.

What do others think, any interest?

This is actually not at all a bad idea.

The Air Dream had a different battery chemistry from the Air GT, and so had both greater power and greater energy capability (kW or HP and kWh or range)

 

[WeighingGravity]

I really like the trade idea but it could be tough to pull off in real life - you'll have two people who may or may not be in the same geographical area trying to figure out how to meet up somewhere where they can swap wheels that may have different states of wear (if one received their car well before another, which is likely this early in the delivery curve, esp. if we're talking DEs vs GTs). Or if you want to ship wheels, you have to take into account shipping times and the fact that your car will be in storage on blocks and unavailable during that time.

True about the battery chemistry. However, one of the reasons the 118-kWh Samsung pack had a larger rating than the 112-kWh LG Chem pack was that the Samsung chemistry did not require the same upper buffer as the LG Chem pack. I don't know that its current delivery capability was much different.

The Air Dream Range had a more powerful rear motor than the non-Dream Airs, using an exotic metallurgy. And the Air Dream Performance used that more powerful motor on both axles, thus upping its horsepower rating from 933 to 1,111. Yet the Range and the Performance had the same Samsung battery pack. So I think a lot of the power difference came from the motors and the way the battery pack was managed than from the pack capacity or chemistry.
