It looks like it's much more than that, the styling on the exterior side (that we initially thought was the dashboard lol) with the Pebble Beach label looks very different than what the regular Gravity looks like in the same area.
Also, GravityX is a badass name, I love it!

Oh man what if it’s a Shai Hulud? A Giant sand worm that eats all competition, tested in the desert of Saudi Arabia. Maximum off road capabilities.

Sign me up! How much is the deposit to reserve one?

Eh. The whole X thing is so Elon these days. I would not have gone there myself.

But maybe its pronounced, Gravity Cross.

Like AutoX or RallyX, Autocross or Rallycross.

Interesting, if that turns out to be the case.

 

[DeaneG]

I'm interested.

Guessing this will be like a "Gravity Dakar" - evocative of rallying on dirt and gravel rather than rock crawling. Or, perhaps in a nod to Saudi Arabia/PIF, driving through the desert.

Gravity Outback?
Hopefully it has portals, 40s, and central tire inflation.

$1000 deposit, an interminable wait, and you have to give back all your key fobs.

I can guarantee there will be a future ad of Timothee chalamet driving this vehicle through the dunes.

I see what you did there.

 

[dwfallin]

Lucid Teases Off-Road-Focused Gravity SUV Concept for Pebble Beach​

Just saw this, sounds like it’s going to be a cool event!!! This is an even cooler addition to Lucid’s lineup.

Portals? What does that mean in the context of a car?

Portals? What does that mean in the context of a car?

If you want your axles high up against the chassis rather than in line with the centers of your wheels, you use portals (gearboxes to change the direction of torque) near the wheels. It gives you more center ground clearance without gigantic wheels.

 

[Elfin]

Portals? What does that mean in the context of a car?

It's a gearbox in the hub that adds ground clearance (and usually has a reduction gear to increase torque for larger tires).
G-Wagen is only car I know that has them as a factory option:

I am joking though, obviously GravityX will be an appearance package. I don't actually expect them to improve off-road performance in any way other than all-terrain crossover tires (like the Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail.)

Some small touches like skid plates to protect what is otherwise plastic/composite might be nice. I'm curious because I'm thinking this might hint at what's to come for one of the Midsize models.
