Hey everyone,
I'm about to pull the trigger on a 39-month lease for a 2026 Gravity Touring (15k miles/year) and I'm stuck between two inventory units. A lot of this feels like FOMO, so I'd love some real owner feedback before I sign.
Quick questions:
  1. Touring vs Grand TouringThe GT gives about 60-90 extra real-world highway miles and way more power, but it adds roughly $250-300/month to the lease. I’m in the Houston area — mostly local/family driving with just one longer road trip every 3-4 months.For those occasional trips, is the extra range and acceleration actually worth the money, or is the Touring good enough with one extra charging stop?
  2. DreamDrive 2 Pro vs PremiumMy wife has a Tesla, so I’m not expecting miracles on ADAS. Still, for a 39-month lease — is DreamDrive 2 Pro (with the extra hardware/LiDAR) worth it for hands-free highway driving and future updates, or is Premium solid enough for most people?
Also curious, How much difference does the Dynamic Handling Package actually make in daily driving and parking?
Any honest takes from Gravity owners (especially Touring vs GT or Pro vs Premium) would be awesome. No sales fluff — just real experiences.
Thanks!
 
  • T vs GT: I'd only care about the range, not power. They're both ridiculously fast. The T is quite a bit lighter (500 lbs less), so the difference in acceleration isn't that big.
  • DreamDrive: with today's features, it's a wash. They both do the same. If you care about what the car may do in the future, get the pro. Just don't be frustrated with all the delays and false promises.
  • DHP: It's worth every cent, IMO. The turn radius puts a grin in your face every time. The 3-chamber suspension is really well executed.
 
The GT only has advantage on the first leg of a trip with the extra 90 miles (tests have the Touring at 260 miles at 75 mph, GT probably 365, both the small wheels). In practice if you use Tesla Supercharging they charge the same speed.

Have never driven or test driven a GGT that wasn't equipped with DHP but after all I read about it and considering my spirited driving style and all the curvy mtn roads around here, I for one would not have considered getting the car without it; it was a "must have" for me. The RWS makes it feel like a much smaller car to maneuver in tight spaces.

We regularly take 4-5hr drives to Tahoe in the winter and our trips to see family are even farther so the extended range was one of the main things that drew my attention to Gravity in the 1st place.

Finally, FWIW, I just don't use ADAS very much (the car's too enjoyable to just drive!) so I've been very happy with "just" DDPrem and used to extra dough to by accessories like all-weather floor mats and 3rd row gap fillers and the frunk cushion.

YMMV
 
Range is king, so for me the GGT with the 20/21 wheels was easy. Test drove a GGT with DHP, leased a GGT without GGT. Don’t notice any difference. It may be nice to have DHP, but it’s not a must have. I saved almost $7k by choosing an inventory without DHP and don’t regret it.
If you’re leasing just get the Dream Drive Premium. The Pro isn’t worth the cost right now since there’s no hands free driving yet.

Isn’t it only 2 degrees tho?

With the caveat that I don't think many of us have had the chance to directly compare with and without, it does really seem to make the vehicle a lot more nimble. At least at low speed. The high speed handling is also great, but I have no idea how much to attribute to the dynamic handling package.
 
I’ve also been considering whether GGT is worth the $15k more than the GT. My feeling is that it’s not in your case, which is similar to mine, in terms of less frequent trips, and leasing instead of buying.

I think there’s only one trip we make a year where we’re not consistently passing by a charger.

On the other hand, I’ve contemplated towing a trailer; for that use case I would prefer the GGT obviously.

That’s going to cut the range by like 60% or something crazy. So bad it might not matter.

And load capacity. Touring is much lower than Grand Touring
 
Well... however many degrees it is, that GGT w/ RWS makes u-turns WAY tighter than that Pink Taycan my wife drives...which, in that it avoids a lot of 3-point turns, could be a safety issue.
I've definitely noticed parallel parking the GGT is much easier than my Outback!
And, as my username indicates, whatever helps a car get over Hwy 17 more safely (for those in other parts of the country think >30mi of curvy mtn road going from the ocean up over a 2000ft pass and down into the crowded Silicon Valley with ppl in the car next to you shaving, on their phone, operating a laptop, doing their make-up, etc.. while "driving"
You begin to recognize cars by the undercarriage!)....it's simply a God-send.

YMMV
 
Related question: I understand all Gravitys come with Air suspension. Do we know how high (inches?) both trims can get on the highest suspension setting? My in laws are looking to get one but they need to be able to lift it high enough to fit a step up at the rear end of their garage.

I commuted over Hwy 17 for a year in the late 90s.

You forgot to mention the concrete Jersey wall mere inches from your car, and the turns with sudden significant off-camber dips, which were followed by the wall turning black and gouges in the asphalt from all the cars losing control and flipping over because of it.

Oh and it rains a lot and gets foggy at night, making the road even slicker.

If I recall correctly, in the main 11-ish mile section of it that goes over the actual mountain, there were 9 fatal accidents during the 1 year I was driving it daily.

It's one of the main reasons I've never been afraid of driving any road I've encountered since.

All that for sure... and in winter just add in black ice!
It was the deadliest hwy in the state before they put the center divider in in the 80's. Now there's actually more accidents but far less deaths. (Indeed F=mA)
Oh, and center divider on each curve NOW looks like a zebra from all the tire marks going up it.
It's a hoot to drive. Lowered down, the Gravity LOVES it.

Back on thread topic: I can kind of see the argument that FSD (eg future DDP) will make the roads safer once a larger majority have tech controlling their vehicles because many out there apparently cannot
