Gravity test drive

[gmoney]

Afternoon lucid Fans,

I just test drove the Gravity and looked at a final build at Tysons Corner showroom in Virginia. I was really surprised at the interior space with how much headroom all occupants have. I am 6 feet tall and had a huge amount on headroom (in my opinion way more than my air). Both cars were painted Aurora Green and depending on light it can look more grey than green. It is a very subtle green and to me the Tahoe interior is not orange at all (like some have stated). I also have to admit the large wheels don’t look as big as I thought they were going to look…. I really want the extra range and having smaller wheels doesn’t bother me.

I didn’t have a lot of time in the car but I think the summer tires feel like they are all season. The car feels and drives solidly (very planted).

The tech is similar to the air but there is a lot more you can do and it’s pretty much all sorted out for the most part. Except HUD and hands free driving.

I look forward to adding the gravity to my garage.

I was there today as well and having seen the Tahoe interior with the Lunar Titanium last year and seeing it today on Aurora Green(AG), I think the brightness of the Titanium makes the Tahoe look orangish, while the AG provides a stylish contrast that tones down the Tahoe. Just my take.

Glad you have one In Tyson’s corner. Still waiting to see a Gravity for a test drive down in San Diego. Likely several more months at least before they have one in the studio.

As soon as the EPA certification is approved in CA, they will get display/test drive units delivered to all studios. Hopefully with customer cars that have already been vin'd and are sitting pretty @ their factory/lot in Casa Grande.

I'm test driving in Tyson's tomorrow morning, 10:20am. If any forumites are around and want to say hi, uhhh, slide into my DMs? I'll probably be arriving at least a little early (or planning to anyways, f*** 495) and I'll stick around a little bit afterwards to crawl around any floor models.

Another suggestion, that if I had known about it, I would have asked; it a predetermined, short route that stays on city streets. Consider asking about a space (parking lot perhaps) where you can experience the rear wheel steering more than straight ahead driving or regular turns. Maybe ask for a U-turn. Just a suggestion.

I was so dang amped up and excited, I just wanted to get behind the wheel and at the end make sure I got my speedform.

My SA explained the pre-VIN and VIN details and then talked about her contact with the logistics team to locate GDEs and GGTs. Also got a better understanding of how the order date is factored into the delivery decisions.

I thought about asking the couple I rode along with if they were forum members. I decided, they were nice enough to let me ride along before my drive; sit in the back and shut up. If they're members they'll post here about some clown asking for a ride.

Speaking of 495; I took the train and metro. I hate 95 and 495. I'll do the same come time for delivery inspection and then ask to have it shipped to the service which is across town from where I live. I may even have it shipped to the shop doing the PPF.

Which studio in Tyson’s (1 or 2) are the Gravity demo drives? I have a 3pm reservation today. Thanks. I tried calling the studio but no one answered and their system just disconnects after a while (0 does not work).
