On yesterday's investor call, Peter Rawlinson gave a tiny update on the Gravity.



He didn't explicitly say it, but the "first half of 2024" would be a delay compared to what they were promising just a few months ago: Lucid Gravity on track for 2023 release

This makes sense given that they also used yesterday's call to announce they'd be building significantly fewer Airs this year than they had planned, which they blame on the chip shortage. If they're having trouble getting the silicon they need for a car they already have supply contracts for, I can believe they'd need to be more conservative for the Gravity.

Still disappointing though.

We need to wait till th 2022 1st qtr report. Thing may change.

 

Did they drop any hint about what's there to expect when they say it will be "an ultra high efficiency SUV, which nobody's ever done before"?

 

No one knows all the details of Gravity SUV as of yet. It has the same platform as Lucid Air and probably has everything the Air has.

Only knowledge so far is that it has a higher milage than any present electric SUV. It is a family car and not for Off Road use.

 

Don’t expect to see a Gravity anytime in the first half of 2024. They are having enough issues delivering the Dream and Gran Touring versions of the air.

 

I wouldn't be that negative. That is two years from now and a whole lot of things could happen over 24 months.

Next quarter results may give a better idea.

 

She finally contacted me on Friday afternoon. Seems like they had a meeting between production and sales to finally get their s**t together. At least I got an update and real information. Looks like some of the cars (like mine) are going to be 6 months to delivery instead of the 2-4 they specified due to supply chain issues. From my guess it depends on the color and interior trim that is causing that, although Doreen would not specify. Again, having the DA letting us know the status would be appreciated in a company that wants to be known for customer service. I hope and expect that it will get better.

 

I am sure a lot of growing pains.

Time will take care of it, I am sure.

Not easy for a new company with a brand new car built from bottom up.
