How is the Press Responding to the opening of Gravity Orders?

I think it’s the opposite. If they are just preparing pre-prod cars for press reviews then production is probably going to end up being Q1

I just wanted to be in my optimistic lala land for a bit

Rawlinson said this week that production start was "eminent" (whatever that means).

Imminent

Imminent

Yep, sorry. I've been getting "its" and "it's" reversed lately, too. I need a break.

Please don’t take a break. You do share important insights.

I'm not sure what the dividing lines are between a gamma prototype, a release candidate, and a pre-production vehicle -- all terms I have seen applied to Gravities over the past few months.

Lucid published a video of the first release candidate Gravity coming off the production line three months ago. If they are only now at pre-production (whatever that is), I would tend to agree with @momo3605 that we won't see anything delivered by year end, which is less than six weeks away.

FWIW, a mobile tech came to our house today, and I asked him what he was hearing about the Gravity. He said he has heard that Lucid will deliver a few Gravities by year end just to say they did, but there won't be any significant number of deliveries until Q1. When I asked him the source of that information he was so unsure of its veracity that I didn't even bother to post about it until I saw these last few posts.

Rawlinson said this week that production start was "eminent" (whatever that means). But I have seen nothing reported on this forum or elsewhere that anyone has been contacted to confirm a final order configuration, which I assume would have to happen before production begins unless the first Gravities are going to be delivered to insiders. I ordered within an hour of orders opening up and got a call from my delivery advisor about an hour later, telling me I was one of the first orders they received. (I'm not sure I will confirm my order until I see what impact my wheel choice will have on range, anyway.)

I can definitely say that production is scheduled between now and first deliveries =)

I wasn’t actually trying to correct you, sorry. I thought you had read eminent somewhere and didn’t make the connection; I’ve been sleep-deprived too.
