I can understand, pushing people to the most expensive configuration and option with the Dream Edition, however, to completely remove an option that many early adopters and tech enthusiast who are big supporters of Lucid and their success and removing it from an already higher and model from the base $80,000 configuration is definitely a bad decision.
I test drove the gravity today and it was a great experience and it seems like they made a lot of improvements from the air to the gravity as many videos showed it definitely feels different in person then of course through YouTube videos online. And I was definitely excited for it but then to get this email after coming home from the test drive was definitely disappointing. I I hope that they get enough feedback from their Arden supporters and reservation holders to change their mind. I’m not sure if tariffs and issues with software and the supply chain ended up making this decision but I think for at least people who had already ordered it before this decision was made should be at least grandfathered into this option as I feel like it was something they did display and talk about a bit in their marketing.
I mean, it seems like they’re gonna be prioritizing deliveries to those who selected to go with the fully equipped dream edition first and continue to delay grand touring models to later to allow for a higher profit margins and more variety in terms of configuration selections. As many people had posted here and on other websites like Reddit People want the gravity for the range and efficiency and being forced to go to a more expensive option that gives you the seven seat configuration along with much larger wheels will reduce the overall range in efficiency of the vehicle. Many people want a fully spec or closely fully spec technical vehicle, but they also care about range and efficiency, and will go with the base wheels Along with a five seat interior to get that full 450 mile EPA rated range. I do hope that they make a quick decision to backtrack on this for at least current reservation holders before they start losing orders. They should not be acting like Tesla and just expect people to be fine with Changing configurations after the fact or pushing people to say like the cyber truck did with the foundation series to eat out higher profit margins and not even give some of those options to the midtier configurations. I mean they’re already starting the grand touring at $95,000 and there is probably plenty of people on here who have added at least 10 to 20k in options and then to remove a key element and feature that people ordered and try and push them to another configuration that’s another $10-$20,000 just leaves a really bad taste and probably the majority of our mouths
