Lucid Gravity will sell alot in middle east. You can drive Gravity off roads...that's amazing

[celticschamps]

I am VERY excited about it !!! Can't wait to see one in person and sit in it !!

The Air was never expected to make Lucid profitable. It was a product meant to put Lucid on the map by breaking range and efficiency records -- something that could not be done with an SUV.

The Saudis are in this for the long game and have the patience that many retail investors lack to put up the money to prepare Lucid now for future volume from more mainstream and lower-priced products. They also have the foresight that certain elements of American politics lack to deal with the fact that we will eventually need alternatives to fossil fuel propulsion as well as economies that depend less on fossil fuels. I'm no fan of Saudi Arabia, but it is American investors and politics that opened the door for them to gain a foothold in the leading edge of EV technology. It is what it is.

And, in turning away from Elon Musk and toward Peter Rawlinson in 2017, they were smart enough to bet on the only man who has led the engineering of two EVs that won the Motor Trend Car of the Year Award: the 2012 Tesla Model S and the 2022 Lucid Air.

Aren't there other chargers other than Tesla and EA? Here in Sweden we have like 50 different companies, there are chargers EVERYWHERE.

[charliebrushwood]

i sure wish them the best awesome looking suv

[Dr.Octogon]

This vechical is supposed to have NACS built in. Charging should not be a problem.

[srqTactical]

Gravity looks better than anything out there in its class as far as EVs.

[kylerobinson]

The gravity looks like a pretty impressive vehicle with impressive specs. Hopefully it will sell well and maybe they could make a profit someday :-) oh, what is the charge port? NACS?

[whiteandnerdytuba]

Given how bad Tesla s x sales are, I’m expecting lucid to come up from behind, I see it as a superior product

[romad]

At 5:05 was that on top of Oroville Dam?

[nittansharma]

As long ceo is not bring greedy, they won't be like fisker

[yousefalhashan]

Very good video, thank.
As far as I know, lucid gravity will in three trims :
1- Gravity Dream Edition
2- Gravity GT
3- Gravity Touring .
About the charging station, I totally agree with you, but Lucid owners have lots of Range and they can charge from home.

[nittansharma]

Just question for everyone, what you think share average price will in 2025 or its going to another fisker.

Since you pointed out the Rivian charging network, let me tell you, its an absolute piece of shite.

You share one power cabinet between three chargers, unlike Tesla sharing between two chargers. I've had a maximum charging speed of 80kw when two places were being used on my side.

Also, Rivian goes out of its way to suggest its own chargers versus a better option in EVGo being near me.

With Rivian gaining access to Superchargers, what I do with my roadtrips, is rather than just plugging in the final destination, I have my roadtrips from A->B->C in terms of chargers. It's much less stressful that way.

Wife gave up her phev recently and has a Model 3 rwd Long Range on order, which is definitely going to become our road tripping car. 363 miles on a single charge!! Fully loaded with two adults, two young teens, a retriever and our luggage, I'm hoping it gets at least 250-270 miles of highway range.

The disingenuous thing about saying that they're losing X amount of money per vehicle is that in reality, the issue is not so much that they're losing it PER vehicle, it's that they're losing that amount of money investing in research and development, in different sorts of production techniques, machinery, land costs, everything is factored in. They're not making a net profit but they are making a profit so while they are losing money, they're gaining some profit while producing each vehicle.

It's like saying a Toyota Corolla technically costs $400 million just because that's what Toyota invested to create/bring in the technology behind them (batteries, motors, engines, fuel tanks and all the materials and engineering required to produce a vehicle) which is just.. not true. Sure, you don't make profit for the first couple thousand or so cars, but after you've made many cars then you start making a profit, it's just basic economics, as you scale each unit turns a higher profit. Now, I will say that their products are more financially demanding, and therefore require significantly higher upfront investment costs. But once those investment costs have been made it's cheddar time, and after being in the red for awhile while being net profitable, you will eventually go back into the green.

[pingnick]

Sounds nice yeah makes things difficult arguably for Rivian even to have a new EV only competitor in the space-Elon doesn’t like his former worker at Lucid so drama ha🤪

[stalyo]

You are right they should the charging infrastructure to support their cars. They should build it out to be profit center for lucid. First they should design the charging to work perfectly with their cars and future proof it. Second install enough chargers for big roadtrip or sell the charger set that work for all cars at more than 19 chargers. 4 stall gas station can handle 48 cars or less per hour so electric car can charge to full or close in 30 minutes or less 20 chargers can do 40 cars for 1 hour.
In another build a charging that works for all Ev with guaranteed profit for the companies that want participate.

[DanDeGaston]

Did you spend more time talking about charging than about the vehicle?

Clocking almost 50, 000 miles I have super charged about 4, 000 miles. . . Half of that on Tesla Superchargers.

The superchargers are nice. . . But it's not a big deal unless you plan to DC charge often
