"Out of Spec Dave" (father of Kyle Conner of "Out of Spec Studios") posted a video tour of the EVs at the recent New York Auto Show.
He begins discussing Lucid at 1:04:00 and says the lines to test drive an Air were the longest he had ever seen at the show. But . . . there was no Gravity at the show?!? There was one, instead, on display at the Lucid Studio in the Meat Packing District. There were two Gravity prototypes at the L.A. Auto Show. Why could Lucid not have had at least one at the New York Show? I have twice lived in the southeastern Connecticut bedroom communities outside NYC, and the place was crawling with high-ticket SUVs such as Cayennes, GLS's, BMW X's, and Range Rovers. Same for Westchester County just north of the city and the Jersey suburbs. I had many friends and coworkers who made the annual trek to the Auto Show. In other words, although NYC inhabitants are not as car-crazed as in L.A., there is a huge luxury SUV market surrounding NYC right in the sweet market spot where Lucid hopes to land the Gravity.
Sometimes I just do not get Lucid's marketing moves, such as they are.
