Lucid Gavity š² Awesome.. 440 Mi Range @ about $80K
- Thread starter Msicario
- Start date
this has nothing to do with model y and lucid are known bullsht artists - this will cost 140k and require more Saudi funding and release in 4 years you should def buy one and hangout I. Lucid motors club forums

...and it doesn't exist and won't ship for 1-2 years at which time it will likely compete with the Model X which will have 2 years of improvements in it
I donāt like the Saudi backing, but they make a very nice car and I hope they succeed.
From many sources that Iāve read it will be available in late 2024ā¦ so it does exist
I donāt like the communist Chinese and their dictator either; But weāve grown to compromise
Batteries, software & other components on Teslas come from China, just like almost all of our phones 
All the EV start up companies need Huge amount of financial
backing I was shocked when I first saw the announcement. And then I realized what they meant was starting at below $80k and you can upgrade up to 440 miles. So, very likely the below $80k one wonāt have 440 mile range. But if Iām wrong, then itās a good thing for the customers.

Good analysis. That's how it works in the car industry. The "start" price usually doesn't buy the most expensive features like acceleration and range...

From this "X.com" posting, would Apple and Lucid be doing any kind of collaboration?

The Lucid Air is probably a good indicator for how pricing on the various trim levels on the Gravity will interact with range.
Air Pure - $78,900 - 406 miles
Air Touring - $96,500 - 406 miles
Air Grand Touring - $140,500 - 516 miles
If I was a betting man, there will be a Gravity Pure trim that will have 350+ miles of range for the quoted base price.

IMHO, Lucid has the most Apple like vehicles in the EV market. Is Apple still developing an EV? I haven't heard much about it lately
That RIvian SUV looks better, is available, and is cheaper, plus the company won't go bankrupt and be bought up for pennies by the Saudis.
The Lotus Eletre seems more intriguing also..

You and I appear to have a different definition of what reality is.
Something that might ship in 13 months does NOT exist yet.

Yeah, this is a very common industry trick. You quote the specs of the top trim and the price of a completely different entry level model. It's sad.

Looking at the order page for the Lucid Air:
Base Model $77k, AWD: +$5k
To get the full range you need to upgrade to the grand touring model which starts at $125k
Of course thereās also the fact that theyāre tied to the cluster of a charging system called Electrify Americaā¦

Just look at the cyber truck. Unveiled November, 2019. Now, 4 years later the only thing weāve seen is a couple prototypes.
Lucid to Adopt North American Charging Standard (NACS), Bringing Greater Convenience to Lucid Customers assuming they are still up and running by then. It's pretty much only VW we have to worry about at this point from a charging quality standpoint.
The charge point behind the fender is a major fiasco. Once NACS becomes standard, especially with Tesla selling superchargers
to others (BP contract) we will see more and more of these parked sideways over 2-3 stalls to be able to reach the cable. I wish
these people used their heads better. The 15ft EA, ChargePoint, EvGo cables are a total PITA to handle BTW.

Hadnāt heard they were moving to NACS. They still have EA on their web site: āJuice up wherever you journey with Electrify Americaā
Personally, I donāt own a VW so I dontā worry about charge quality with them! Of course, the issue isnāt with the plug, itās with the chargers themselves and the network. From the release it appears Lucid will be able to access Teslaās Network but if all you do is slap NACS connectors on the same crappy EA network you still have the same problem.
That's an SUV with a face only a soccer mom could love.
Translation - it looks like a minivan.
Inside is ok, outside - not so much.
