Gravity Orders Discussion

They've produced black and white ones as well.

Oh, that's right. I forgot we saw a white one sitting on the factory tarmac next to a car carrier in a recent flyover.
 
And a black one driving by in front of Lucid HQ while Kyle Conner was filming.
 
Almost all the Lucid promo material shows an Aurora Green Gravity, with that occasional lonely Lunar Titanium showing up now and again. And now the first twelve deliveries are all Aurora Green. I hate to say it, but the Aurora Green is starting to feel a bit too much like Tesla white to me -- it's almost becoming synonymous with the brand down here in Florida.

We're thinking about switching our Gravity order from Aurora Green to Lunar Titanium, and the interior from Ojai to Tahoe. I've seen the Titanium in two Lucid showrooms, and it looked fantastic under the artificial lighting in both (which was way off from natural lighting, as taking the color chocks outside demonstrated). But I'd really like to see one outside in sunlight.

The taupe of Ojai is an interior color I naturally gravitate toward, but it looked a little too "muddy" in the samples I saw on the showroom walls. This is why we're debating the switch to Tahoe, a color I mostly like but sometimes think is a bit too orange. I've seen the Tahoe in person on both Airs and Gravities, but I'd really like to see the Ojai in a whole interior in natural light instead of a tiny swatch on a wall.

I wonder how much variety there will be in the first Gravities to arrive for test drives outside of showroom lighting?

Huh? 12 cars are Aurora Green and you’re comparing it to white Tesla’s??? The Aurora Green is the launch color so it’s no surprise it was the first set of cars to be delivered.

I think he's referring to almost all the studio cars, demos, presentation cars, etc being green. I admit I'm getting a bit tired of it, and I'd rather see Supernova Bronze (which I think is a far more appealing color with all the "good aspects" of green but none of the bad ones).
 
The Aurora Green is the launch color . . . .

Is it? The Gravity got its first public showing at the L.A. Auto Show in 2023. There was an Aurora Green car there, but the Dream Edition on display at the show was Lunar Titanium. And two of the three cars I've seen on the studio circuit were Lunar Titanium.

Unlike with the Eureka Gold, which was the only color unique to the Dream Edition, the Gravity will have several colors unique to that line, with no one color getting any special designation within that group. Maybe I missed it, but I've seen no mention from Lucid of a "launch color" for the Gravity.

. . . it’s no surprise it was the first set of cars to be delivered.

The first batch of cars delivered at the big Air event in October 2021 were a mix of the original three Dream Edition colors (Zenith Red was added shortly afterward). So it actually was a surprise to me to see all the cars delivered this weekend were the same color. That's why I asked if this was the result of choice by the new owners or Lucid's having only produced green cars off the final production line thus far. My understanding was that the paint shop that has opened since Air production began is able to run multiple colors at the same time, thus not requiring as much batching of Gravity colors as was the early case with Airs.

My guess is people just like the green.

It’s literally in the Press Release….

Lucid Gravity Grand Touring can be configured in six exterior colors, including the launch color Aurora Green Metallic, and with a variety of wheel designs and sizes ranging from 20 to 23 inches.”

It’s gorgeous. What’s not to like?!? I wouldn’t forego my favorite color just because it was popular.

I am personally torn between the green and titanium. When my wife and I get ours — likely a Touring and likely 2 years from now as she has a 2023 Ioniq 5 that she still loves — I have a feeling that some degree of practicality will win out. We live on a dirt road so my fave Air color (red) was scuttled for my next fave (blue). Shows dirt a LOT less!

We have too much in common. My wife also has a 2023 Ioniq 5 that she loves, haha.

But she prefers the gravity, so we’ll likely be getting the higher end trim.

Red is my color; fathom blue is my second favorite.

The solution is not to forgo the color you like the best, the solution is to pave the dirt road. Dude. Priorities.

I had missed that. But I've never seen a company launch a new line with only one color first available . . . except, of course, some limited-edition cars that were only available in one color throughout the run.

Rivian offered a "Launch Green" along with another green and several other colors, any of which were available from the outset. Tesla did something similar with its original red color which, if I remember correctly, was called "Phoenix Red". Not even the Air Dream Edition launched with only one color available.

So, how long will Aurora Green be the only color delivered?

We don't have any confirmation whatsoever that Aurora Green is the "only" colored they are making/delivering at this time. There's a good chance this color is what the owners choose. The sense that I got when Peter was handing the owner's their keys is that he didn't know either. He said at least three times, which color will this one be? He may have been trying to be coy or maybe not. We simply don't know. One other observation after seeing the production version -- those who chose the Aurora Green/Stealth package WILL.NOT.BE.DISAPPOINTED! Pictures do not do this combination justice.

Neither would I, which is why I originally ordered the Aurora Green and have stuck with it so far even though the order tracker was showing fully half of orders were for that color.

I've seen it in person, and it is a gorgeous color. Every reviewer who has commented on it has said it's the color he would order. However, that still doesn't mean I'm not getting a little bored with seeing the car almost never pictured in any other color.

One of the reviewers commented early on that the Gravity, like the Air, is a car that looks very different in different colors. I have found that to be the case. There's something about the undulations down the sidelines of both models that causes light to do very interesting things with reflecting both sky and ground simultaneously (or ceiling and floor in a showroom). I think this is part of why color can have such effect on the cars' looks.

I have never liked silver cars. To me they have always looked too much like unpainted metal. But that view began to shift when I began to see Cosmos Silver Airs on the road. There was something about the way they played with light that made them very interesting. And the same thing happened when I saw my first Gravity in Lunar Titanium. Something about the car in that color just stuck in my mind and keeps worming its way deeper in. Seeing the car in Aurora Green a few weeks later didn't have the same effect. It's the reason I've been considering switching my order to Titanium and why I keep asking if anyone knows what the "late availability" is all about.

We live on a dirt road so my fave Air color (red) was scuttled for my next fave (blue). Shows dirt a LOT less!

Our Air is Zenith Red, and the car looks spectacular in that color. It's the only fairly rare car I've ever owned where people sometimes ask about the color as much as about the car.

However, we are the last house on our road before the pavement ends as the road enters a busy bird rookery and wildlife preserve, so our pavement is usually coated with a fine layer of dust. And, boy, does that stuff show on the red, especially behind the rear wheel wells and around the trunk. Even passing a construction site on a paved road leaves a visible dust coating. The Xpel film on the car heals light scratches effectively, so I keep a California Duster on hand, but I'm tired of using it almost every time I get the car in the garage.

Our Bronze Metallic Odyssey and our white Model S don't show the dust as much. Also, they don't seem to accumulate as much of it, so I wonder if the airflow around the Lucid has something to do with it?

Another reason I'm thinking about switching from the green to titanium is the hope that it might show dust a bit less.

It's true we have no confirmation, at least as far as I know.

However, since just under half the 90 orders on this forum's order tracker are for the Aurora Green, I think what might have happened is that, among the people who might have otherwise qualified as candidates for first deliveries, Lucid chose for the event only the ones who ordered Aurora Green. I doubt if a random selection of recipients would have resulted in every car being green.

While I think that the Aurora Green is a beautiful color, it's a tone that has recently become very popular across brands. We see a lot of similar colors on newer vehicles, especially from the Koreans, around our place these days. But we also see those same models in an array of other colors. Something similar happened with a family of olive greens that swept across the automotive industry in the late 60's / early 70's and then faded away until this recent resurgence. It will be interesting to see how this color choice plays out as Gravity orders proceed.

Yes but which tires were on the delivered Gravities?
They all of them were outfitted with the performance tire 22/23's in Stealth.
