Lucid's Gravity: Great or too late? | Car-Pinionated 69

EV maker Lucid hopes to sell its new SUV, the Gravity, soon. It's a beauty, but is it enough for the company to survive?

I think lucid is in a class of their own. What do I know!

Saudi money is long, their battery technology is far ahead, and their vehicles have a lot of practicality. All in a very handsome package. There may be some challenges, but they'll be fine. I drive an Air almost daily, and people love it. The brand recognition will continue to grow and so will adoption. However, you all do have some valid points.

When talking about Lucid and how much it loses per car, Lucid’s “Cash Burn” everyone talks about is actually investment. When you say they lose money per car, that loss is investment. What is the difference between Lucid and Fisker? Build quality and engineering. The only complaints I hear about the Air is the software which can be fixed with over the air updates. Fisker had build issues galore. It was rated as worse car made. In the other side, the Air has been called the best luxury sedan ever made by more than one reviewer. That includes ICE cars. The handing dynamics are next level. They have consistently been at the top of Car and Driver and MotorTrend for that reason. The Fisker wasn’t. So PLEASE put the investment in context. I’m sure we all want this fledgling American automaker to succeed.

The Gravity is a better family car than any other EV in the world at this point. It has incredible range, space and style. Too bad the price is incredible for all the bad reasons. If they had managed to make it $10 000 cheaper, it would have been a home run.

All the best selling SUV’s aren’t off road oriented. 99% of ppl don’t even take their SUV off road

EV sales are increasing globally every month - despite all the fake news in mainstream media saying things to the contrary. ICE sales will continue to decline rapidly as the tipping point has now been reached - EVs have now reached price parity with ICE vehicles, and in some cases are actually cheaper. Most EV owners will never go back to an ICE vehicle because they are just far superior and they don't pollute the air we all breathe.

Great video guys. I’ve been driving electric since 2013. Had two Volts I leased waiting for the Model 3. Then bought two model X. Which is an amazing car and charges very fast. I tried others and wanted to like them but the operating systems were horrible not to mention trying to find a reliable charger. I’ve driven my Tesla
Cross country three times and never had a supercharger fail

EV buyers won't buy a Cadillac Lyric (unless their stupid) over a Lucid when the range and performance is way better in the Lucid Air or Gravity. Lucid is the range King with over 500 miles of range with the Lucid Air and the Gravity 3 row SUV with 440 miles of range is way better than Tesla Model X or the Kia EV9.

The gravity would not have been eligible for the federal tax credit anyway

These guys just talk about look, how about the tech that lucid has it's one of the best if not the best. From my experience iId say always buy an EV from a company that builds EV from scratch not one that been making petrol and diesel all their live.
