The Press Embargo Has Been Lifted

[hwy17er]

Take a look at this video review from last week's event at the 11:55 mark where a second-row folding table jammed halfway down:

And another video from the event commented on the abnormally loud second row seat motors that were also reported from the New York event a couple of weeks back.

And the HUDs weren't working last week, either.

These cars aren't nailed down yet. Lucid should not let these issues get out to customers, if for no other reason than to keep from overloading the service shops and doubling customers' irritations.

How is it that this guy is parked in front of Duarte's Tavern in the tiny town of Pescadero and doesn't even mention their beyond awesome Cream of Artichoke/Cream of Green Chile Soup swirl??? (Each of these soups in on the menu BTW, but usually only locals know about the "Swirl") Man, I'm serious: there's a friggin' line out the door every weekend for this stuff..it's indescribably good!

Have had it. Can confirm deliciousness. Absolutely go out of my way to get it, precisely as described, along with their insanely good bread to scoop it up with, at least once every few months.

Hit Harley Farms while there too. You won’t regret it.

Also, Pescadero is just really awesome in general. Go check out Año Nuevo sometime for the elephant seals too, in the winter / early spring.

Make a day of it and go kayaking on the Elkhorn Slough, with the largest contingent of floating sea otters I have ever seen in my life, just lazing about and being adorable.

Man, we really are pretty lucky in CA. The roads there are incredibly fun and beautiful too; the journey is absolutely worth the destination, but the destination is also definitely worth the journey.

Will do!!

OoS doesn't have a Gravity to do more testing on, so they used that time to make a Rivian movie; 2 hrs+ running time.

Haven't seen it yet, but I'm thinking it like the interviews that Kyle has done with Lucid employees mixed with Peter's Tech Talk videos.

Good for Rivian owners.
I know, wrong forum, but we often talk about the length of OoS videos.
Longest I've seen so far.

I've been trying to figure out why one of my favorite car review channels, "Throttle House", has been a no-show among the recent press reviews of the Gravity. They had done a very complimentary assessment of an early Gravity alpha prototype about a year ago and have consistently been big Lucid fans.

Then I came across a video they did four months ago in which they explained why they had done only a truncated review of a Lucid Sapphire. They're Canadian, and the U.S. border agents had denied them entry with most of their video gear.

They were not clear as to why. A visitor visa cannot be used to conduct business in the U.S., so maybe they ran afoul of a broadened interpretation of that regulation? And maybe now they cannot (or do not want to) obtain a different visa?

Whatever is going on, I hope they are able to get their hands on a production Gravity soon for a thorough test drive report with all their video and test gear.

The good old days of visiting Canada without a passport or Canadians visiting the US without a passport are gone!

Just got back from Canada yesterday lol, despite all the news of greencard (my wife) and citizens (myself and son), we saw 0 issues at the airport. Everything was smooth. And my family was scaring us about holding people up at security, searching phones, etc.. Because of all the news articles.

Really makes me wonder

We use to walk over at unmanned streets, Northern VT, and walk back. Now you can't walk over unless each child has a passport.

When we lived in Burlington, VT we often flew out of Montreal to avoid transfers on long-haul flights. You hardly got a sense of crossing any border except for a brief wave-through at the control point . . . except that the Montreal fashion sense was in a whole different universe from Vermont.

They’re a bit busy these days too: they’ve been tapped to replace Clarkson and Co. on the Grand Tour.

Interesting . . . and well deserved, too.
