Yes. Though we have an R1S quad G1. Haven’t watched the video - how do they make a 36 minute video out of a one lap race? Oh, I see it’s Kyle from OOS … but my sense is the Gravity would appear slower right off the line and then pull away from the other two after a bit. It’s high end acceleration and speed is noticeably more than our X and R1S…

As it should! This is what I’d expect. Add on the fact Gravity drives so much better than the other two and has much more storage and is so put together, and you understand why I never drive our X or R1S. Wife insists on keeping the X though.

Yeah, at least it will unlock and get into drive every time you try.

Maybe only because it wasn't a Model X plaid. Which it shouldn't have been unless the Gravity was a Dream Edition.

Kyle always seems to choose the Gravity in all these races/comparisons. I think his heart is openly hoping Lucid fixes their bugs and the Gravity becomes a success.
