Yesterday I spoke to five different people and all of them were from the 3rd party agency. I kept going from one person to another hoping to get different info. We’re you talking about Thursday? If not I guess I missed the Lucid employees. Tks for the info.
It is very slick indeed when you see it in action. I too saw it on an iX.
Yeah, even if it doesn’t provide much dimming, the frosting just looks so cool.
There’s a protective cover the flips down so you don’t have to worry about it.
There’s also talk of that flap being available in various materials, depending on how “rugged” you want to be. From fine leather to a rubber floor mat type of material that can be hosed down.
Do you remember way back in the day (like last week) when just a few of us here said that the Gravity's sole competitor was the R1S, while many others said that it was in a luxury class of its own and deserving of a 6 figure starting price because of the luxury and ride quality? I remember those days also.Yes, cabin volume is 120 cubic ft, R1S is 104.7 cubic ft. Frunk is 8 cubic ft vs R1S 11 cubic ft. And there is blown spare tire and underwell storage compartment behind 3rd row of R1S that Gravity doesn’t have and I cannot find that dimension info on internet. R1S I am able to move boxes, and fit in 8’ ladder from HomeDepot during rain. I’m sure Gravity can fit all that too. R1S has a scissor gates design not many SUV has which I like very much. It has a fold down tailgate like a truck and a glass lift gate like Jeep Wrangler. (You can use lift gate glass in Wrangler only if don’t mount full size spare tire in the back) That aspect, I think R1S implemented splendidly. However, in Gravity for lack of tailgate seats, Gravity make it up with frunk-gating.

I love seeing all the comparisons with the R1S. On the Rivian forums, I’m seeing the same comparisons, but from a Rivian bias point of view. The competition is fantastic for the consumer and industry as a whole.

We already know that Lucid will produce a few Gravity's in 2024 with real production starting in 2025. Late 2024 could easily slip to 2025. So fast to market is not happening. The Market above $120k is very very small. Will they bring out a Pure early on???I wholehearted agree. Competition is not Model-X, even though Model-X is back to hot selling potatoes bc of huge price cut. The competition is about usability and practicality before luxury for this segment. MB EQS and BMW iX can’t open hood for frunk, that part already lost edge. Kia EV9 will sell well bc of obtainable price range of 60~80k for young families. The key is who does luxury segment pick? My take is Gravity must to get fast to market and compete with R1S to gobble up new EV SUV adopters.
Rivian entered the biggest market of truck/SUV without ANY competition at start, now they are leader being chased. Their first 8 quarters production/delivery already passed Tesla first 8 quarters since Model-S debut.
Rivian can produce sedans, but they chose not to bump heads. It’s chance for Lucid to shine with Gravity.

Actually, I love that sedan render. Looks like a phantom to the rear and has beautiful stance!I wholehearted agree.

My guess is by the time Gravity is ready for production, it will be competing with a refreshed R1S, maybe even a new 7 seater version. I think the Gravity can take meaningful market share from Rivian, but it’s not going to be easy with Rivian’s head start.I wholehearted agree.
