Super useful for food shopping. It converts to a freezer (simply reduce temp), so no more rushing home to avoid frozen foods from melting.

I’m going to miss it for that, and for being able to enjoy frosty beverages inside the car without having to pull over.

I watched this video and noticed that he had to put his RaceBox on the side mirror (as he said it wasn't working inside the Gravity on the windshield)...does this imply we are again going to be battling some sort of metallic coating in the windshield that blocks GPS, radar detectors, toll road passes, etc? It's during his 0-60 test at about 14:45 in the review.

I'm going to assume it's the same as the Lucid Air 2025. There is a small rectangle area on the right side of the mirror that is designed more mounting your toll road passes. Cell Phone GPS seems to have a hard going through in the Air. There are a couple posts about it.

Thanks, first time 0-60 was measured that I can see!

I think it’s for off-roading, when trying to position the wheels in very specific locations to avoid creeks, rocks, etc.

Also btw one more YouTube review is out:

I hadn't watched this video until today.

For those of you into relaxing outside after frunking awhile, at the 11:13 mark the second and third row seats are folded down and there's an air mattress (or two) in place.
Looking at how nicely the mattress(es) fit in place, especially how it flares out at the door areas, makes me wonder if that will be a Lucid accessory and not just some air mattress they decided to use.

Anyone with little kids or even an infant (with support around it) that is overdue for nap time, this might work for them.

That sure does look like a perfect fit, and pretty comfortable. The Forbes article text does say "I packed the 120 cubic feet of total cargo capacity almost full of cardboard boxes and stretched out on the flat floor with both rows of seats folded down to make room for a form-fit air mattress." So sounds like a custom accessory.

One question -- where does all my luggage and gear go when the mattress is inflated? I'm more of a tent camping guy, and if car camping the gear stays in the car. If I sleep in the car, all the gear goes outside? Seems like more work.

Yes, in some videos a while back there was mention of an accessory mattress for camping.

I'm more of a tent camper as well.
Maybe luggage goes in front passenger seat and frunk.

One of the activities I'm looking forward to doing with my Gravity is taking my three granddaughters on day trips.
Not sure I can get all three to take a nap at the same time, but if I'm only taking one of them somewhere, it might work.
I'll discuss with the smarter person I live with (aka my wife), she'll know. Somehow, she always does.

Still have the frunk, front seats and the sub trunk.

Car-shaped air mattresses are apparently a thing: https://gotidyshop.com/collections/car-air-mattress

I read, in one of the many review articles that I can't remember which one at this point, that it was available for purchase as an accessory from Lucid. I have an air mattress at home and was wondering if it will fit in the Gravity myself. I'd try out some glamping in the Gravity!

No sub trunk with the third row.

JD Power posted its test drive review of the Gravity. Basically no surprises to us long-term Lucid owners.

They found the driving dynamics, space engineering, comfort, and materials to be top of the heap.

They liked the styling inside and out.

They found the software and UI to show promise but still to lag on delivery of that promise.

They found the EPA range to be, uh, optimistic.

[WeighingGravity]

That's a nice review. The low miles per kWh is a bit worrisome; I'll chalk it up to a small and likely aggressive sample size. But will be interesting to see what a longer term review says.

Those review vehicles were driven extremely hard. I wouldn't take that number to be any real reflection on how well the efficiency is for daily driving or road trips under normal use.

From the article: “The test drive route and my enthusiastic use of the accelerator pedal might have led to the less efficient result in what is admittedly a small driving sample.”

I've driven those roads. You can definitely drive as hard as you please, efficiency be damned.

What have you observed? What is your life time efficiency of Graviry and what is typical from your experience?

I am not a good sample haha. My efficiency is nowhere near EPA, and that is precisely how I like it.
