Pretty awesome to see. Not a ton of interaction with the software but definitely what is shown looks snappy enough. Did the steering wheel tilt motor whine that loudly or was I hearing something else?

@Tesla2Lucid is a star

I thought the same thing. Seemed way too loud.

Interesting that the car in this video didn't have rear-wheel steering. Does that mean that it is just not yet activated or that this car did not have the handling package?

A lot of unknowns about this video but one thing I do know is that this is not the best person to help them advertise, and he did try, just not very good at it.

Was all the info correct? No, but they both did us all a solid and I definitely appreciated that they put the effort in to show us something we’ve all been clamoring to see. Not like Lucid has done us any favors by remaining so secretive.

They could’ve just posted nothing and then everyone in here would be pissed they drove it and didn’t film it. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

@Tesla2Lucid thanks for the drive and @Joe for posting.

Or maybe he was wrong? No one has said the RWS was not active before this video as far as I know.

I have a strong suspicion he was just misinformed. No big deal.

I suspect you are correct as the Titanium brake calipers (as seen in the first couple seconds of the video) are in the Dynamic Handling Package with the RWS.

That’s the thing I’m most bugged about. Sure, I loved every second of the clip because at the very least it’s new content — and I’ve been starved for new Gravity content — but the folks getting access in this second wave (after pros like Out of Spec and MotorTrend, who fielded great first-impression content) don’t seem to know a damned thing about the car. Super frustrating.

A gracious owner generously loaned out the vehicle for the afternoon that wasn’t originally planned to be at the event. Instead of complaining that the video isn’t to your taste, let’s show gratitude to the owner who lent the vehicle and gave us a sneak peek into a production vehicle, which is significantly more than Lucid has done to date.

He's an owner who borrowed the Gravity and helped throw a seemingly great event; he's a great dude. The video wasn't actually the goal, but I'm glad it's out there; the goal was the event, which evidently went great.

It does Exist! .. And that Sweet Video leaves me craving for more

Already watched it a couple of times to catch as many details as I could! So nice to see.

I'm a little confused about who owns this car and how they were allowed to film it. I think neither the driver or passenger own this car, right? So, the owner is unknown or anon enough to allow this b/c Lucid can't 100% pinpoint who broke the (perhaps unspoken) agreement of no videos in production vehicle?

Seems like the driver, Tesla2Lucid was allowed to borrow the car. At least that is what I took away from the video.

If this car was borrowed it would make sense while the driver knew so little about it outside of reading the marketing brochure.

 

[WeighingGravity]

I was also a little unclear on ownership but IMO the driver was being intentionally cagey about some of the details.

I hate this thread already. It's very similar to "this is why we can't have nice things"
