Had my first Gravity test drive….. I’m thrilled and equally disappointed

[Golfervet]

Had my test drive in the Gravity yesterday! The driving experience was second to none. There is no SUV in this size range that even comes close. Handling was firm but comfortable and you knew where the road was at all times. The other SUV’s I’ve driven including BMW, Mercedes,Hyundai were soft and floaty like driving a boat. The Gravity felt fully connected to the road and responsive to my every move. The Gravity was smooth , quiet and a blast to drive. I was ready to place my order except for the multiple annoying inadequacies of the software at this time. Things like Apple car play not available yet, the heads up display cannot be adjusted, same old connectivity issues with Sirius XM, Key fob doesn’t work yet and heavens knows what wasn’t found in my 60 minute evaluation. I expected these annoying problems with my Air as it was their first car and it was worth working through those issues in order to have that car for the last three years but quite frankly I expected Lucid to have done a better job learning from their past experiences and have a much more functional vehicle their second time around. This company has the potential to to be one of the best EV companies in the world but this is a competitive market and if they are to survive and excel they need to do better. I will probably lease a BMW IX while I wait for Lucid to get its act together. I find that very disappointing..
