Lucid Grand Reopening KOP

[JoeMa]

My wife and I and a friend attended the Grand Reopening of the Lucid Service Center/Studio at their KOP (King of Prussia, PA) location. They had four Gravity's, two in the showroom on display (Aurora Green with Tahoe leather), one in the service area (locked and not intended for the public today, also Aurora Green with Yosemite) and a fourth Gravity in the parking lot (Aurora Green with Yosemite) that also was not for the public. There were no test drives available today but they said they should have a demo model in three weeks. The event was full of people and I must say, Lucid put on a very nice spread of food including sandwiches, fresh fruit, shrimp cocktail, deserts and many assorted drinks. The staff was very friendly and the fellow that was helping me took his time to answer every question I had including allowing us to sit in the Gravity outside which had the Yosemite interior. This was helpful as I was leaning toward that interior option but after seeing and touching it, my wife and I are leaning toward real leather, either Tahoe or Ojai. They have the small samples of the leather to view and touch and the Purluxe is thinner than the leather. We also noticed a number of dirt marks on the Gravity sitting outside with Yosemite.

The interior is very nice but not as premium as our Mercedes EQS 580 SUV IMHO. The screens looked very nice and the steering wheel felt fine. The first display model was set to the lowest height and it is low! My wife loved it as was easier to get in and out of compared to our EQS SUV. But the rear hatch door was kind of too low to walk under without bending my neck a bit and I'm 5' 10". The other display model was set to next to the highest height and I felt it was just as easy to get in and out of but the rear hatch was noticeably easier to walk under.

The second row leg room was very good and I sat in the third row. It was easily the most leg room I've personally experienced in a 3-row SUV, and I owned a few over the years. The frunk is just as big and roomy as I imagined. That would be a nice area for groceries.

I still need to test drive the Gravity before I decide to order it. I need to experience how it compares to our EQS SUV, which is very comfortable to sit in a drive for a long distance.

The two display models both had the largest 22/23 wheels which are beautiful but the Gravity they had in the Service area had the 21/22 with the Michelins, they were very nice looking in person and I would option one with those wheels and tires if we decide to order a Gravity. Oh, and they have a Sapphire if you have $250,000 laying around.

Here are some pictures from the event...

I’m assuming it was set to its default highest opening, but the tailgate height is adjustable; it’s possible (though not likely, I think) that they lowered it? I don’t see why they would’ve done that but who knows.

Oooooor it’s a bit of a duck-under at the lowest ride height - I’ll be honest, I never ever tried that haha.

It was set to the highest opening, but the car itself was at the lowest height setting.

Yeah, gotcha. I’ve just literally never had it in the lowest setting and had the tailgate open; so I never ran into it!

It’s a good question. I was just surprised when I first stood under it how close it was to my head. In fact, I had to tilt my head a bit, but he pointed out that it was the low setting that was causing that. Then when I walked to the other one which was almost to the highest setting, there was plenty of room to walk under the tailgate.
