What’s your estimate - Gravity volume for 2025

[Blue Lectroid]

The problem is, we didn't lease from Lucid directly. I think, and I could be mistaken, that Lucid booked our leases as sales to Lucid Financing which is a joint venture with B of A. Since there is s no dealer network to handle returns they have been wholesaling them. To minimize their losses it may be more cost effective to start selling the returns directly since the wholesale price will be lower than retail. It all depends on what the cost structure is and how those sales will impact the sales of new Airs.

Agreed!

In AZ, HOV plates for EVs goes away in Sept 2025, I need that for commute, would have leased if not for this issue. If you already have a plate prior, you are grandfathered in.

That’s nationwide I thought. The California one is also expiring - it has to be renewed by Congress which seems unlikely.

Are the HOV plates in AZ permanent? In CA you get a color coded decal that has an expiration period, and I think after September they all became invalid anyway

Not quite in keeping with the thread but check out the detailed profiles of the Gravity’s Grand Touring charging - very interesting graphs illustrating various charging scenarios - very much food for thought. (I am assuming the new Panasonic Batteries are what was tested)

Where did they get that data from?

That charging curve is very, very disappointing. It didn't even hit 400kW. We really need OOS to test it with some context like - was the speed charger limited?

Yeah.... I'm not buying that. Who at Lucid gave them a pre-production unit to do a charging performance test? No one probably. If they were going to give it to anyone it would probably be Kyle or Tom . I wouldn't trust this article at all, if Lucid says 400kW it will do 400kW. Might be for 60 seconds but it will still do it.

It could be a test of a production car. They are out there. I am not saying I believe it, but it is possible. And if true, not good at all. On the other hand, it is way better than my Mach-e.

They absolutely made it up.

They absolutely made it up.

I read through all the information they have for the GGT, and I think you are correct.

It is dishonest for them to leave out an explanation for how they came up with the numbers, and that really bothers me. They don't explain so they leave it up to us to make our own conclusions, and many will conclude this data is real.

Anyway, it is obvious they are making assumptions and maybe using the Air as a reference for a lot of the data. One interesting assumption is 3.0 mi/kWh at 70 mph. If they actually were transparent, they would explain their logic for why they think the Gravity will achieve that efficiency at 75 mph. It does seem possible, but so does 2.7 mi/kWh (which is closer to what I think it will be).

The range chart below is reasonable, but again it would be nice if they actually shared how they came up with it. They lead you to believe they tested it, and I don't think that is the case. These are estimates based on assumptions and calculations they have made.

Unfortunately, I think this site should be written off as bogus and only used for entertainment. Definitely nobody should make a buying decision based on anything contained at evkx.net. To use a wonderful term: it is fake news.
