Lunar Titanium Availability?

[Ron_Burgundy]

Any news on LT beginning production ?

Last communication from Lucid said early next year…

 

[tmichael]

All production Gravity are 2026 model year, even the ones from June 30. Yes, this really does make you wonder what model year even means....

It goes back to legacy automakers that had "model years" that started sales early September. Changeover of tooling and assembly lines were in August, then new "model year" production started.

oh, so like end of May when ski season has ended ...at least we'll have missed a bunch of early SW frustration

the more I read on here the more comforted I am that this isn't a six figgy mistake, but actually an awesome vehicle by a fairly new company that may have found out the hard way you can't not invest in good software ppl and QA systems

Y'all are forgetting the biggest benefit to LT - in lunar gravity everything weighs 1/6 as much. Think of the range improvement!

That kind of tech advancement takes time, so accept the delays and stay the course!

(For the pedantic purists, yes, I know that mass != weight and so you still have as much mass to accelerate in a horizontal direction. THpbbhbhbhbhhb!)

The waiting delirium has started...lol

No word on my Lunar titanium. In fact both SAs have not responded to my emails in over a month.

You’ll get it when you get it. Or, choose a different color and get it sooner. Unfortunately, no one at Lucid who is “forward facing” knows when they’ll make LT. There’s little incentivize to Lucid to make it at all at this point. I do think they will, but it’s on their timeline…

WHAT!!???..."There's little incentiv(e)"??
@Ron A, @GoDestruction , @seanocono, @billvb, @ToddC, @Djfos, @tonykerf1, @gehlenv, @Thomas redfern, @64right1, @David, @Nshapiro, @indigo6, @EVCar , @Topcat, @JoshuaBleu, @mm5la, @Dmarks1947, @evfan, @tmichael, @colmode, @Lucidfer, @tuccur, @PetevB, @kgmon, @dale246, @hcueller77, @SiberianStar, @ and I all ordered LT...that's at least $3.3 Million! Isn't that incentive enough??

(OK...some of those members probably switched to a different color to get their's earlier, but you get my point)

Based on the current inventory, it appears Lucid is prioritizing the Touring version first. However it doesn't appear to be selling as fast as they are hoping even with incentives. It will be interesting to see what the Q4 "production" numbers show. I wish they did true sales numbers to see how they're stacking up with Rivian and Tesla.

Either way, I do hope they start prioritizing actual orders. And they fact the SAs not responding over a month is quite unprofessional for any automaker.

I LOVE my Gravity. It’s amazing. BUT…I do not expect them to sell many. Even the Touring. Lucid just has to make it to their mid market one and get a clan launch for it.

Tesla doesn’t break out S/X anymore, but they don’t delivery a ton per various reports. Rivian’s not delivering or selling a lot either. Relatively.

Ultimately, there’s virtually no brand awareness AND it’s an expensive car with a bad rep for software bugs.

Again, I love mine and have another on order, but I think it’s niche.

One of the SAs finally called me back after the last communication was on 11/25/25. He did mention one of his peers left the company in December. As far as Lunar Titanium, the goal is "Q1" so he did say it could be a March delivery. It also sounded like they were going to honor the $7500 credit for Lunar titanium leases due to the delay.

Thank you for sharing this update, Ron. I always assumed March because quarterly projections typically tend to be toward the end of that timeline. That still hasn't stopped me from checking my account for updates several times a week, though. Haha.

I find the Touring a bit odd. I wish they had only reduced the HP, kept the big battery and maybe only made available Purelux materials and that's it. They threw out the fastest charging which I think is too compromised. The 89 kWh battery size I find a bit small like the Kia EV9's currently is.

 

[tmichael]

They had to get $15K out of the car someway - battery and complexity and cost of increasing voltage via rear motor were easy ways to get there!

That does sound like the most logical way.

On the flip side, they should make a 5 seater version that has an extra battery that fills that big gap! And get 500+ miles!

 

[VLumina]

Yes, it does. But it is definitely not black and I don’t think that part matches the other stealth trim. Maybe someone can post who has one?

I have the white + stealth. The front bar actually has two pieces -- the top part is black, while the bottom is shiny at certain angles. Not as shiny as platinum

They didn’t throw out faster charging. Smaller battery = slower max charging speed.

I’m no electrical engineer, but that’s what the electrical engineers here have said many times over.

That’s why Air Touring has a slower max speed than Air GT. It’s a limit of physics, not a marketing decision.

The good news is that with a smaller pack, it takes roughly the same time to “fill” it to 80% anyway. And you’ll get better efficiency.

 

[joec]

Personally, I think they made exactly the right choices with Touring on Gravity. It’s always bugged me that Air Touring can’t be configured with all the GT features minus horsepower and total range. Most SUV drivers won’t miss either for their day-to-day practical needs.

I suspect they will sell far more Touring long term than GT Gravity.

thanks for setting me straight. I likely misunderstood Kyle C.'s description of the two battery packs.

I don’t disagree but I DO think part of the Lucid secret sauce is range. I love my Gravity, but part of that is the roadtripping beast it is which requires range and charge speed.

 

[illopp00]

The Touring effectively charges faster than the GT on Tesla because its the same rate and it's more efficient. So after the first leg of range its actually faster if using Tesla only, and way faster than the competition at that price...
