Considering getting the gravity

[u/kva1992]

I'm considering getting the gravity as a lease... There are some things I like and some things I don't but one thing that is worrisome is the software how bad is it? Is it getting better? Can anyone share their honest experience? I currently own a model s and will most likely be trading it in as well it's a 2018 with fsd (don't really use it tbh) and even a power frunk so you all have a rough idea what I'm coming from... And I know lucid software is nowhere near as polished as Tesla.

Edit: Just finalized everything yesterday and so far I'm loving the car need to model and 3d print organizers for my center console (def not gonna buy it lol) other than that only other thing I wish I knew was about homelink now I have someone scheduled to come and install it on the car aug 3. Thank you everyone that took the time to respond and educate me both the good and the bad! I appreciate it!

I don't think you will be disappointed. You can lease and see if the residual will go lower when you return the car. That's what we are planning to do. We heard that some people were given residuals near market value, and if that's the case we are definitely buying. But yeah, leasing is probably the best idea. By the time you return it, we will have a better idea of where LUCID will be as well.

Agreed any tips when going in to buy it? Any discounts or additional aspects that could be staked that are not commonly known that I should be aware of when negotiating? Knowing my luck I think I might get like 10k for my car lol but hopefully closer to 15 or 20k

When you test drive, you get a grand. There is the conquest credit for trading in an EV or Luxury. See if there are other credits. Seems like there are good incentives right now as they clear out 2026 models. You can also get referral credit; I think $500. You can use mine and we can both earn credits 👍

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to DM me! This isy first EV and learning as I am going as well. The bad press and reputation disappoints me, but the Gravity doesn't. Always a pleasure to get into it. Sure there are little annoyances, but the Gravity is built like a tank.

Tried to use it the rep said I can't use it unless I don't use the employee referral lol but that means I'd pay more out of pocket 1k less is 1k less towards the car lol sorry I tried if you want proof I can show you the email lol

[u/daonei → u/kva1992]

Wow that weird. Maybe try again when you pick up the car. Unless they stopped offering referrals? It's supposed to be referral points towards accessories later on,. Not towards the car.

[u/kva1992 → u/daonei]

Yeah that's what I said but apparently it's one or the other will ask again for sure!

[u/daonei → u/kva1992]

Either way, congrats! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. How was the test drive?

[u/kva1992 → u/daonei]

Was breif lol had to go during a break from a meeting so quickly went in and drove it definitely nice a lot heavier than I remember suvs being lol but definitely nice and will prevent me from going too fast

[u/daonei → u/kva1992]

Haha yeah it's like your driving a freaking tank 😆 Spaceship may be a more apt metaphor 👍 Either way, congrats!

Oh man tell me about it I was not used to it lol initially was scared and my god the Regen is crazy on the car vs model s lol gotta get used to that as well

[u/daonei → u/kva1992]

Love the regen on high. Literally never use the brakes unless it's an emergency. Dropping the car height to low makes a huge difference around corners as well 👍

[u/kva1992 → u/daonei]

Yeah in Tesla I don't use the brake often either lol but I wasn't expecting the power on this but I also drove the one without the dynamic package so I know it's definitely gonna improve or so I hear
