@DBurkland @dictionaryhill Brian is awesome and his gravity is sick!
English

I finally got to ride in a Lucid Gravity last weekend, and it did not disappoint. Here are my thoughts:
- It definitely looks better in person, especially the rear portion of the vehicle.
- Just like with the Air, the Gravity looks best all blacked out!
- The real Tahoe leather interior was top-notch, and I can't get over how good it smelled haha.
- The NVH in the Gravity was excellent, and I heard absolutely zero rattles or squeaks after several drives.
- The drivetrain was quiet and super smooth, especially when decelerating with regen.
- One of my favorite little features as a passenger was the backseat trays that fold out, much like on an airplane.
- The pillar vents for the rear passenger seats were a nice touch; however, the fan speeds didn't seem strong enough.
Overall, I came away super impressed. Shoutout to @briandstone and jeremyjudkins_ for showing me Boca Grande and the Gravity!

@CaptRedRoach Oh crap! I confused packages. Premium connectivity is for streaming and Alexa.
No need for me.
Connected Nav is a separate subscription. My bad!
English

@Mattlinn01 They don’t state that comes with that which is weird. I don’t roadtrip it though and I use CarPlay or Android Auto for everything
English

@CaptRedRoach I’m keeping it for the connected nav features, traffic, live charger data, etc.
I’ve never used the Alexa integration.

My mom took delivery of her second Tesla today, a Model Y Performance! Three years ago, it took a lot to convince her to give Tesla a chance. Her 2023 Model X was her first EV. When it came time for a new car this year, she said she will own nothing but Tesla the rest of her life. She relies heavily on FSD and couldn’t have a car without it. Thank you to the wonderful people at Tesla Sarasota for being so kind and accommodating to my mom today!!

@brandenflasch A block home is pretty much the standard here in Florida

American home are made of sticks and paper

@Mattlinn01 @macheroadtrip I paid $38 last month and every month (thanks FPL) to charge 3 EVs. Lightning SR, Model Y & Model 3

Meanwhile $80.00 is how much it’s cost me to drive my truck 4,000 miles in 2026.

Thanks Trump $80 at the pump to $130

@Hilbe @SamsungUS Send me your model number there is a “service fix” that can be applied
English

@briandstone @Hilbe @SamsungUS There is a service bulletin for this problem. If you DM me your model number I can send you the correct part numbers to order and the instructions.

@BeardedTesla I killed the PCS in my Y, $1700 later it was fixed😭 just out of warranty too
English

Would you rather: Model Y Performance or Rivian R2 Dual Performance?
Kyle Conner@itskyleconner
Hello from Austin! Driving Model Y Performance while in town for SXSW Wanted a quick back to back with R2 (I don’t believe we’ll be able to drive R2) but it’s good to have a reference before seeing the production version of the Rivian competitor!

@TesCalendar1 We have a Costco charger and it’s very expensive

This morning I was able to be the first person outside of Lucid to see and sit inside the new @LucidMotors Cosmos! This is their new midsize electric SUV and no, I can’t show it to you yet.
What I can say is that the design is sharp, super cool, and totally unique (especially in the rear end). A cab forward design enables a long tail for optimal aero efficiency but it still retains enough roof height for larger dogs. Lighting signatures are strong, bright, and sharp. The car I saw had a metallic red paint with a white interior, which honestly looked striking! Think younger, more modern, really cool looking small Gravity.
It has an insanely large front truck, huge rear cargo space with massive underfloor storage (enabled partly by the new Atlas drive unit), and more than ample second row seating space. I’m 6’1 and my head didn’t touch the expansive glass roof that extends beyond the rear seats, it’s also super wide giving a great airy feeling. Rear floor felt slightly high but there’s still enough room to fit feet underneath the front seat to unlock your leg angle.
I also spent considerable time in the front seat soaking in the view. Huge door opening with a low entry height and a ton of foot room to swing in. Materials looked beautiful in the light interior color with recycled fibers that almost felt like wool. Stitching is everywhere, glass center console cover, dark headliner… it was a high quality warm feeling environment. The A Pillar glass extends extremely far forward which enables incredible view of front blind spots. In addition there’s physical turn signal stalks & gear selector and the same / similar steering wheel out of the Gravity… which looks upside down but feels great in the hands. Oh, bottom hinged accelerator pedal!! 🙏
There’s a single pane wide screen floating above the dash that expands across the width of the car. It’s a unique view that doesn’t exist in the western world and I liked the simplicity and location. User interface should look similar to Gravity which is totally fine… if it works. No secondary screen, everything is done through that singular cross-car panel.
Electrical architecture is nearly completely new with centralized compute, insanely cool central gateway mounting location on the firewall, all designed to reduce wiring length / cost / connections. ADAS will likely be using the NVIDIA system for point-to-point L2 capability and they need to get this enabled ASAP as FSD is such a huge selling point for Tesla. Also, huge targets for quick response to phone key / NFC etc… this car can’t have access control problems or major software bugs.
Don’t know exact battery capacity or power output BUT I have some tidbits to share. ~800V system architecture, PM rear motor, induction front motor. Both are from insanely small Atlas drive unit family which I’ll have a full video coming on sometime in the future. Unsure how Lucid is doing 400V boosting, but they’ll be able to charge on Superchargers with no problem. NACS charge port in the rear driver corner. Charging sounds very fast which is badly needed in this segment.
Body in white has some amazing trickery leveraging passageways for woofer / sub woofer air flow, crash structure designed to be easily replaceable in stages to lower insurance costs, and a mixed material compound to reduce cost. Suspension also is pretty advanced for this segment, adaptive damper, virtual ball axis on the lower control arm (fixed on upper), which should give great driver / steering feel compared to the many McPherson strut options others offer. Oh, there are some big castings on this thing but the front / rear aren’t just one giant casting. We’ll talk to Cory Steuben more about that in an upcoming podcast.
Finally this should start at under $50k and feature everything EV drivers want: fast charging, pet mode, route planning, plug and charge, space, comfort, and 0-60 in 3.5 seconds.

@jeremyjudkins_ They didn’t see the little red flag hanging off the back of it? 😂😂

@brandenflasch I only charge to 90% and I’m at 99% as well with 141 cycles. I’m starting to think with these phone batteries it doesn’t make a ton of difference
