Lucid Gravity Configurator Reveals... Add Ons

[@emarsoleymani8398]

I respectfully disagree. The starting price of the Lucid Air Grand Touring is over $120K, whereas the Lucid Gravity starts at $94K. Even when fully loaded, the Gravity remains less expensive than the Air Grand Touring, despite being an SUV , which typically should costs more. So, please be fair in your review. I understand you’re doing this for your audience, and mentioning some downsides would build trust, but your point about the price of added options compared to the Air Grand Touring’s price doesn’t quite add up. I actually respect Lucid’s pricing strategy for the Gravity, as starting at a lower price compared to the Lucid Air GT allows for more accessibility and with all the options added still less than Lucid Air GT.

[@gerradwalker346]

I'm looking forward too placing an order & having this vehicle! Yes they're charging more for their software & add ons, but this is a luxury car, not a Tesla or Rivian.

[@yhk1977]

Rivian or Lucid, I'd go Lucid for the luxury feel, look and handling. Been in a Rivian, nice suv but it's not luxury class nor do i want the look of 2 dyson fans as headlights.

[@lindenandersonjr.6437]

Great informative video on the Gravity. I hadn’t gone on the site since ordering went live; thanks for breaking down the available options. I’ve wanted a Tesla Model X for a LONG time, until they announced the Gravity. It is disappointing that they nickel and dime you for a lot of the additional features, but they just literally went live. Hopefully at some point down the road, much like Tesla, their prices and options will change to be more consumer friendly.

[@PrivateBrowsing-fq4gi]

It’s more affordable compared to Germans, but they missed significant opportunities with option pricing. If they could swiftly repackage options pricing, they could immediately capitalize and generate substantial momentum. All they need is to reduce the total packaging cost by 5-10K.

[@johnpoldo8817]

Drew, Lucid is taking the opposite approach to launch of their Air GT. I paid $155K for this loaded car back in late 2022. Look at the price now after they stripped out many features from original model to lower entry price. Gravity pricing is very deceptive similar to Porsche. To get what you want, plan on adding $10-15K on base price. If they offer 10 degree rear steering like my EQS, be sure to get it….awesome.

[@theone5404]

Bad idea in this market. We need to show that we're not going for it.

Lucid is the automotive answer to a question that no one asked.

[@RoninHard]

I agree that I expected the Grand Touring to come with some upgrades as standard. Looks like the extra $15,000 cost over the Touring model only gets you more hp and I'm guessing more range. Everything else has to be added. Really disappointed in this aspect.

Incredible SUV...Brilliant. Buying 2

[@antonio_fosnjar]

This kind of penny pinching reminds me of German brands like Mercedes and Porsche. Like every single little detail has to be added separately. Few years ago I bought a used Mercedes E class that was something like 80k$ new and after a week started to notice little things missing like powerd trunk, heatined steering wheel and back seats, 360 camera and such which are pretty standard on muuuuuch cheaper vehicles today.

[@gattaca5911]

Lucid was aiming for me....once you have a taste for torque....the only ding is the heated second row but I've only impressed a handful of friends with that on a cold night...dude 800+ hp...save up and buy it.

[@fdsafsfdsafsad]

Amazing car 👍

[@ShoMac]

i think the driving dynamics/efficiency/engineering/interior design is actually incredible. tesla to me is like acura (#1 in tech tho) rivian is like GMC denali and lucid (more so the gravity suv) is like porsche. i dont mind paying for the over engineered philosophy even if the tech is not up 2 par YET

[@rednose1966]

I own the stock and at this point I would really like to have a sapphire Now from all the things that you talked about when that I would want is to negotiate all that trim package for the price that you were talking about of without it. So when they offer specials and deals you get the trim at the base Price. I didn’t really understand if I even liked the body style of the gravity but now that I see it in motion I really like it. But I have as much invested in dollars in stock as one would cost so I’m just waiting for the stock to go up.

[@JeremyZ22]

I went online to order one. I've been waiting for it to come out. I currently have a bmw IX M60 with 38k miles. Once I started adding options.

Lucid is going to have someone read description of the order, and manually add features while building the car? that is very efficient..

[@gani2an1]

I can afford this $120000 EV. But I am havign second thoughts about buying it because I am worried if the company will survive. I think 50% of the people who were planning on getting this have now disappeared. Is this price point sustainable for the company? There is nothing wrong to make this car $120 000 . A Range Rover would be $200 000. But this is no longer a family car. It is a family car for the rich. I do not know if there are enough of those to keep Lucid afloat.

Lucid's Gravity was initially pitched as a mass market value product relative to their Air sedan. It appears that may no longer be the case.

[@RoninHard]

It was never pitched as a mass market. It was the midsized cars coming in 2026 that they've pitched as their mass market.

[@DavidLeee]

Agree. R1S Max Pack Dual is the best bang for buck. Plus you get the off-road capability that the Gravity doesn't have. I suspect the on road comfort will be better than the R1S so keep that in mind. The R1S is luxurious but its not a luxury SUV whereas the Gravity seems to be more positioned as a luxury SUV.

[@shazzizzle]

Nacs alone makes this car the winner. Range is best by far and space too.

[@jacobB1290H]

They’re penny pinching because it has an enormous battery. And even for the 125k price, it still won’t be profitable

[@Dr.Octogon]

Please clarify what makes the battery enormous. What are you using as a baseline? Their battery is smaller than Rivians, way smaller than GM's. Lucid achieves their range from efficiency innovations. The battery is only 118 kWh. Model X for example, is 100 kWh.

[@jacobB1290H]

@ for them it would be so easy to make a profitable compelling car. Reduce the battery to 90kw cutting thousands in the manufacturing cost. They have a talent in making efficient cars, so at 90KW they would still have competitive range. Include all those tiny upgrades in and sell the car for 90K. Right now The Tesla model X for 72K has far more features included in the price for far less. All lucid has over the X is range, and maybe a tiny bit of interior space due to the squared off back. Definitely not worth an extra 50k in the price

[@isserdigan2835]

@@jacobB1290H You forgot how much the model X sold a few years ago. It was more expensive than the gravity. Hilarious. Plus poor quality interior. Please dont compare a Tesla to a Lucid.

[@jacobB1290H]

@ the Tesla sold for that high price because there was demand at the price. Why sell the car for cheap, you’re leaving money on the table. Lucid on the other hand has very little demand and still has to try to win over people. And the build quality issues is a myth. Maybe we’re true in the early days of Tesla. And don’t think lucid is exempt from the build quality issues

[@Dr.Octogon]

@@jacobB1290H actually the Lucid Gravity’s cargo space is allot more than the Model X. 120 cubic feet for Lucid Gravity vs Model X 91 cubic feet. To put it in perspective the GMC Yukon Denali is 122 cubic feet. It boils down to what you value. I was looking forward to the 79k model, but since there are no range estimates right now and no clarity on the differences it is hard to tell where the value is in the starting price. But Lucid Gravity’s cargo space is allot bigger than Model X and this is their top trim. Top optioned Model X falls in the same price range.

[@petehelme7714]

agree on the options, disappointing. but can we stop comparing the Gravity to the Rivian R1S? IMO it's aimed at a different market, Mercedes-Benz EQS, BMW iX, Range Rover (when their EV debuts in the coming months) etc.

I'd say it's reasonable that they charge for all those extras, like heated steering wheel etc. They spent billions developing the car and preparing manufacturing. They need to recoup the money somehow. There are people who can afford spending that kind of money (>110k$ with extras). Once they ramp-up production maybe they will start including those features down the road with no additional cost. They need to make money on their cars and be profitable to survive.

[@TailosiveEV]

I would've just said it starts at $100k and include those things for the grand touring
