What's that popping-up white disc on top of the front roof?
Likely just a onboard camera for testing... or could it be a LiDar unit?
Camera, external lidar for calibrating the onboard lidar, something like that. Definitely just some kind of sensor mounted up there for development/testing purposes.Likely just a onboard camera for testing... or could it be a LiDar unit?
We're almost at the 6-month mark since Lucid revealed the Gravity at the L.A. Auto show . . . or, put another way, about halfway to the promised late-2024 start of deliveries.
I'm assuming the next thing we'll see publicly are pre-production units in the hands of select auto journalists, accompanied by or soon followed by release of the vehicle's final specs. The "Road to Gravity" video suggests those pre-production units might already be making their way through the factory.
Six to seven months before first deliveries is not that long a time. I wonder when the order books will open up for the Gravity and what the pecking order will be for access to Dream Editions if they're going to be a limited run. It feels as if time is drawing nigh for taking at least Dream deposits. I know many buyers will want to see final specs before making decisions between trim levels, but I have a feeling most Dream buyers will be less concerned with that as the Dreams will probably be fully-optioned. Decisions about the choices regarding colors and wheels can be made at order configuration, as they were with the Air Dreams.
C'mon, Lucid. Gettin' itchy here. And these teasers ain't helping.
It’s very intentional, I gather. They don’t want another “dump” of cancellations because of the deposit is low and refundable.
While Air Dream deposits were refundable, they were $25,000
My guess would be a very high fidelity GPS.
