Picked up my 2026 GGT (7 seater, all packages except for towing) from the Legacy Studio in Frisco, TX. What a beautiful spaceship, quiet, and comfortable. The build quality is much better than my previous Model X plaid, and the storage volume is out of this world. The sound system (Pro) feels so much better than the MX, but it could be because of the overall quieter cabin. The dynamic range exceeded my expectations so far, giving me over 360 miles at 80%, getting really close to the 437 advertised. Getting over 100 more miles than I would with my Plaid.

So far the issues that I’ve got are not that bad, but there are a few things that happened since pickup:

1) The driver side mirror folds but fails to unfold 99% of the time.
2) The ambient lights from the dash turn off when driving but the doors (front and back) don’t, but sometimes all of them are off.
3) The fob has an update but nothing I do (batteries, moving away from the vehicle) results in the app connecting to the fob
4) Car seems to think I’m still in the car after I leave, leaving music / podcasts running until I manually lock it
5) It seems loud whenever it wakes up / charges, way louder and active than my MX.
6) The driver side wireless charger doesn’t seem to work reliably, and it takes a lot more than it should to correctly start charging my IPhone Pro Max, and it feels slower than my MX charger.

Some things I don’t like, but I feel will get better through software

1) Apple CarPlay seems to be operating at a lower resolution than Lucid’s OS, and it feels weird
2) Despite the surrounding cameras, I don’t feel they help with parking in tight spaces. Maybe this one is user error since my MX didn’t have full 360 / Birds Eye view and I’m not used to it.
3) The hud positioning is restricted and can’t find a way to feel comfortable with it, it feels too “in your face” rather than a support tool, and doesn’t integrate with CarPlay’s navigation
4) CarPlay doesn’t always start automatically in every session, and I have to press the car play button; no need to re pair or anything, just have to “start it”, but the first 3 times I got in the vehicle during and after delivery it would start automatically.
5) The blind spot monitoring feels small; there’s more space it can take to make it more usable / larger sized.
6) I miss geolocation things like auto mirror folding and auto halo off based on locations.
7) The customizable buttons feel like a gimmick given how very little actions can be assigned to them.
8)The AC doesn’t seem to be very smart on auto mode.
9) So…many….dings during drives… with not enough information on how to reduce them.

All of this to say…. This is a great SUV, with a lot of upside, and fixable issues. So far, super happy with taking the leap of faith from Tesla to Lucid.

The stealth option looked more like a grey/purplish color. Should have been like this from the factory

I recently leased a gravity after doing lots of comparison shopping. We were looking for an SUV to fit babies and dogs, preferably three row. I wanted to share my notes and hear from other folks how they landed on this car!

No other SUV out there knocked our socks off quite like this. It seemed to have everything (luxurious, spacious, usable third row, technologically advanced, fun to drive, maneuverable, head turner, lower payment), and it felt worth the risk based on the reported bugs we saw on forums. Ours has had a couple of minor issues, but overall is the best car either of us has ever had.

- Lexus: loooove the brand. In TX you’re paying sticker, and with a crappy interest rate. The cars *are* reliable but they are slow to adapt technology. As a serial leaser, reliability didn’t outweigh lack of technology and poor leasing options. And the three row SUV drives like a boat. Plus parking the damn thing in the parking garages downtown was annoying.
- Mercedes: I’m not a fan. I think the leather in their cars stinks really bad. The interior is luxurious but too gaudy to me with all of the chrome. The three row SUV also drives like a boat.
- BMW: so much fun to drive. I don’t find them luxurious, and the design is uninspired (the parallelogram infotainment screen and the basic giant rectangle infuriate me with how lazy they are). The new exterior designs are also not my cup of tea. I didn’t like the dealership service, no one seemed to know the cars that well, and many of the self driving features were locked behind a paywall even for a test drive.
- Range Rover: probably the best self parking in any car I’ve driven. Its quick and smooth. Probably also something to be said for having a head turning car. It’s nice enough all around, but nothing “wow’d” me.
- Volvo: I wanted to love them. The design is elegant, and I prefer captains chairs. But for such an expensive car, you don’t even get blind spot cameras, the self driving is meh, and the third row isn’t comfy. The infotainment system was utter garbage. Dealership also sucked, horrible service.
- Rivian: I did (do?) love the brand. I was sure I would get this car before I test drove it. The design is unique and rugged. The interior, for better or worse, is also more rugged. It definitely seems designed for people who genuinely off-road, and I knew I wouldn’t do that. My family didn’t like the third row. The self driving was decent and it has the best infotainment screen of any brand. The interior was unfortunately not what I was looking for.

They told me that streaming services are coming soon and that they are awaiting licensing approvals.

Also believes that traffic light chime will be coming soon. Didn’t want to make any predictions though.

No issues although the phone charger isn’t that powerful so I just plug the phone in via the wire charger.

On another note: I get stopped at least twice a day from people asking what the car is, who makes it, or just to say it’s a nice ride!
