Last week while visiting Family in Virginia, a loaded Gravity (on 20/21" wheels) popped up on Lucid's Available Vehicles list and I snatched it up. The vehicle was in King of Prussia PA. I was able to cancel my current order, that hadn't yet gone into produce, and receive my refund. Purchased outright, Lucid discounted $2,000 for a Loyalty Credit. A few days later we drove 2 hours for delivery and immediately brought it to Acap Films for Full Frontal PPF install before the drive back to Florida. Good opportunity to spend a day wandering about Longwood Gardens while we waited for the installation to be completed
Access to Tesla charging stations is a game-changer! Never had to wait, generally always more than 4 chargers at a location, none were broken, connection was nearly instant, great charging rates, and it just worked. Nothing like previous road trips in our Lucid Air Touring and using Electrify America. Though, the Air came with 3 years of free charging .. The 1,200 mile PA -> FL charging with Tesla cost $200
One stop in Jacksonville NC we charged to 100% to see the charge curve (Attached Below). We started at 13% SOC. The Tesla charger held 220kw for 12 minutes resulting in 47% charge. We reached 80% in 27 minutes .. which is over 340 mile range. 90% was only 6 minutes later, and worth the wait for another ~35 miles. 100% dragged out to a total of 1-1/2 hours which was expected.
Our Air is an amazing vehicle to drive, but .. "How could the Gravity be better?" That was a concern I had, and seemingly impossible to imagine. However, Lucid has created another vehicle larger on the inside than the outside, near silent like your wearing Bose noise-cancelling headphones, firmly planted to the road and yet glides like an air-hockey puck, and turns on a dime with the Dynamic Handling Package. Driving, the Gravity feels like a much smaller vehicle than it actually is. The Surreal Sound Pro is so amazing! Oh, and the Gravity accelerates like there's a SpaceX Raptor Engine attached
We had no fob issues other than once I had to shake it; version 3.3.2. The screens and software are laid out well, though there are glitches here and there, which I know will get address over time.
UPDATE: The morning after arriving at our home in Florida I found red fluid dripping from the front of the vehicle. I took pictures and contacted Lucid in Riviera (West Palm Beach area). Chris quickly replied that they will send a loaner and flat bed the Gravity to their Service Center. There's a coolant leak and the correction is to replace the Front Drive Unit which could take up to 2 weeks complete, which includes a few minor due bill items from delivery. We're very lucky the drive wasn't interrupted by a mechanical failure.
