Should I make a reservation?

I want to hear your opinion. I'm considering getting (most likely leasing) Lucid Gravity GT, but I wanted to test drive it first before making a final decision. I had a chance to see the car and play with it for some time in Lucid Studio University Village in Seattle. But they don't have a car for test (educational) drive. I was told they might have one in a month... maybe two. I probably can assume they have no idea when they'll get one.

The bill passed and the $7,500 tax credit will end on September 30, 2025.

I was wondering if it makes sense getting in the queue and count on Seattle's Lucid Studio to get "driveable" Gravity before Lucid starts working on my order? On that note, do they give any heads up before the car enters production in case I want to cancel my order?

What is a chance I'll be able to test drive the car and get one produced and delivered before September 30th... From my understanding the exterior color and HUD might affect the delivery time. I was considering getting Quantum Grey Metallic without a HUD. Is there anything else that can affect the delivery time?

The short answer is: nobody can say for sure. The longer answer is:

They seem to be sequencing through the various color options. Green was first, black next, and white is anticipated soon. Any other color might well take you past the end of September, but it's hard to say for sure. They've also pivoted from a unified technology package to separating out the HUD and the "Power Package". The intent is to offer the Power Package now, and delay vehicles for those waiting for a HUD until "the fall". However, it seems that the pivot hasn't yet made vehicles with the Power Package available, and those wanting rapid delivery of GTs might need to avoid all components of the Technology Package. If you're prepared to be flexible about exactly which configuration you'd take, there have already been examples of SAs offering up available vehicles where the original buyer backed out. But if you're very specific about what configuration you want, laying hands on a vehicle before the tax credit is gone seems dicey.

I’d lease a DE, if possible, and then you’d have it before the deadline most likely.

Otherwise I doubt you’d get the credit, just based on the cue of people that are getting read for their GT deliveries. I could be very wrong tho. Honestly, from what I’ve experienced first hand, with or without the credit you (yes you) want this car… “need”
