  • The 2024 Lucid Gravity (pricing TBD; under $80,000 USD starting), is a brand new seven seater luxury EV expected to arrive late next year. While its specs aren’t fully finalized yet, Lucid anticipates the Gravity to have a range of over 440 miles (708 km) and a 0-60 mph time of just 3.5 seconds. It has a cabin optimized for interior space and comfort, and has optional air suspension that Lucid cheekily calls ‘Zero Gravity’. But how is it to drive? Thomas and James are excited to find out! We hope you enjoy the episode. And then subscribe, silly.

      @@inublossom I admit, that's something Tesla could work on (and is currently working on).
      But their software and integration is so well-developed and so advanced compared to other carmakers that it kind of does justify the price (somewhat). And it really is a lot of car for the $40K you're paying, especially if you look at what the competition is doing.
      But I do admit, again, that Tesla should work on its build quality, as well as putting in more luxury features into its top models (S, X, & Cyberbeast), such as massaging seats, ambient lighting, and a center console fridge. (well, the Cybertruck already has ambient lighting, so just the S/X need that lol)

    The front "bench" would be useful for swapping shoes or ski boots. It is always a hassle keeping the dirt/snow out while changing footwear. Also just sitting down after a walk, and enjoying the nature instead of rushing back. Realistically 95% of the time, I would just put a thing in front, so it is a frunk and it is safe storage for valuables, so that people cannot break in without an angle grinder.

    Awesome to finally see the Lucid Gravity!! Looks really pretty good. Can't wait to see some more in-depth reviews once the thing reaches production. Kinda hope there's an option to ditch the massive piece of glass in the roof. I don't know why manufacturers keep doing that, especially in EVs. Literally nobody wants it, it's going to leak at some point (when, not if), and it adds a ton of weight to the top of the vehicle. Other than that, I really like seeing the Lucid Air design language reflected in the Gravity, the clam-shell hatch, the minimalist light-bar front end, etc. Really cool.

    really interesting offering from Lucid. I like most of the styling, but the back pillar is really minivan-ish. That being said, >400 miles of range, really fast acceleration, serious practicality, and what appears to be a luxury-level feel, should spell a winning recipe. Not many vehicles can attempt to squeeze a 6'6 adult in the 3rd row, which is saying something. Looking forward to the final model

    Alright, that is something. I was hoping the Gravity would be something like this.

Right now, the Air is the only electric car I actually like - if I was ever forced to buy an EV. The Air and the BMW iX (even with the that face). But now, the Gravity is here to fill the EV SUV space. I really hope they make a Gravity Sapphire to dethrone the Model X Plaid. Well done Lucid.

    The Lucid Gravity will be the market leader in terms of range, performance, efficiency, aerodynamics, etc. This would also make a great platform for a pickup truck just like what Rivian has done with the R1S & R1T. It already has a massive frunk and adjustable air suspension for off road capability - so I predict an SUV variant will be made at some point.

    This is simply so much more tasteful than any of the competing legacy luxury SUVs (ICE or EV). Plus the fact that this actually takes advantage of, well, the advantages, of ground up EV design so much better than any legacy brand EV offering, means that I do really hope this finds its footing in the marketplace and is a commercial success. If I was in the market (which I am admittedly not) for a 100K luxury people mover, this would be my pick.

    I love what Lucid does and, even though SUVs aren’t mine, I think this is more attractive than the competitors. Having said that, I think they wanted to have the wheel the other way around at first and then decided to turn it 180 degrees for the screen. The 12h marker is the telltale for me 😅😂

    I am a huge fan of when companies include steering wheel UX controls that just make logical sense. Like, you get two D-pads with select buttons in the middle to control UX elements on either side of the gauge cluster. I also appreciate that there are actual buttons beneath the center screen and a volume wheel. Lucid has done a good job of trying to maintain enough legacy controls that you don't have to feel lost in the touch-screen every time you want to do simple things.
    I'm also glad that they kept the Dream Edition a halfway reasonable price for a luxury EV SUV, since the Dream Edition is legitimately as much performance as anyone realistically ever needs. It's plenty fast enough for you to lose your license in a hurry. I'm curious if they're using a hybrid air suspension since they previously mentioned in some interviews that the reason they opted for conventional coilovers in the Air was due to the superior ride quality they were able to achieve with them in that car.
    I'm also fairly certain that they were designing the frunk of the Gravity and realized that, with it's height, they probably needed to create a lower front loading sill, so they notched it out, then went "Oh, that kinda looks like a seat." Got an engineer to sit in it and went "Y'know, Land Rovers have that split tailgate that you can sit on, what if we did that, but on the front?"

I like car manufacturers thinking of what else is possible to use the extra space for than just storage. And the different locations they can appear in.

    The biggest still is the price. They don’t have anything less than 75k and most people can’t afford that. Doesn’t the top tri motor of this run 180k if I remember correctly what I was reading. Also the head of lucid said “this will be extremely offroad capable because I love off-roading” but looking at it, that wheelbase is extremely long for off-roading. Albeit I haven’t finished the video yet, that doesn’t look like a lot of ground clearance either.
