Did you own another SUV before acquiring the gravity? If so, what brand/model? In terms of space (passenger and cargo), how does the Gravity compare with your old/former SUV, especially in terms of accommodating large, bulky items (e.g., strollers, kids care seats, walkers, wheelchairs, etc.)?
Are there any accessories available for the Gravity (sun shades, roof shade, frunk seat pad, Charge plug adaptors)?
What is the width and length of the cargo space with all rear seats folded down, i.e. what are the dimensions of the largest sheet of plywood that one can fit in the back?
@hydbob took some interior measurements and reported them on this thread:

Have you had many people in the vehicle, and what was their first reaction?
Cargo space! (
@BS8899,
@JB67,
@Penguin). We recently had a real-world test of this when we got new bedroom furniture. It came with an absolutely insane amount of cardboard packaging; seriously, our dining room looked like a shipping warehouse! I was originally planning to feed it all into our recycling bin slowly over several months, but we decided to haul it all at once. We folded down the second and third rows, and managed to stuff the Gravity practically floor to ceiling with cardboard. It was incredible how much it held. I'm pretty sure it would have taken at least two trips in my IONIQ 5. While fitting a specific 4x8 sheet of plywood (
@JB67,
@Penguin) isn't something I've tried myself, the cargo area definitely seems more than capable for those occasional big, bulky hauling needs (
@BS8899). It's one of those "bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside" things, great for those rare times you suddenly need a ton of space.
Now, let's talk about one of my absolute favorite features, though I think
@borski initially thought it might be a gimmick before totally changing his mind: frunking! (
@illopp00 partially) I genuinely love it. I'm not someone who enjoys just standing around, like at Lucids & Lattes events or when people are just hanging out by their cars. The frunk bench lets me actually sit down comfortably, have my coffee, but still be right there and part of the conversation. We've used it in practical ways, too, like pulling over at a beautiful overlook on Hwy 1 where there were no benches. We popped open the frunk, sat with a blanket, and enjoyed the view.
@borski and I have enjoyed our morning coffee sitting in it at our house, facing our neighbor's beautiful garden. It's surprisingly comfortable, and knowing you can just hose it out if it gets dirty (and it even has drainage holes), plus having that 110V outlet right there, makes it such a nice place to be.
Inside, other practical things stand out too. Those tray tables in the second row (
@BS8899 implicitly) are incredibly sturdy. I mean, they feel rock solid, not flimsy at all. I have used them for doing homework on, and my niece used them for lunch on the go with no problem. Having the USB-C ports right near them is convenient, too.
As for specific accessories (@ilopp00), I know Lucid has mentioned modular accessories coming for that huge center console, which I'm definitely looking forward to for better organization in there. As for things like sunshades, the frunk bench (which is super comfy btw) or specific charging adapters, I don't have info on those right now, other than the 1000V CCS to NACS adapter.
And thinking about passengers (
@JB67), the overall experience seems great. My niece was comfortable using the super solid tray table, my sister and I enjoyed sitting in the frunk on Highway 1 while others explored. The combination of the spaciousness, the big view from the glass roof, those third row vents, and features like the tray tables really makes it a comfortable place to be, no matter where you're sitting. We've also used the USB-C ports quite a bit for charging phones on the go, and their placement is generally really convenient. Though I did notice the third row USB-C ports are a bit too recessed, meaning you'd need to find a pretty thin cable connector, which is feedback we passed along...
