@Michael_L_Rauch @LucidMotors @Tesla How was DD. Did you had any interruptions and how does it compares to rivian.

Road trip ended. Trip in @LucidMotors Gravity cost me $151.86 for 1100 mile trip. All charging was exclusively on @Tesla Superchargers. Every session was flawless & ridiculously fast. Gravity charges like a beast!

@SaudiBay @itskyleconner If you look very closed zoom in picture, cosmos would be a wagon like with curved hood in the tail. As you go adventure, it will be flat more like highlander.

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.

@EdLudlow What happens to lunar project if uber goes with other partner for 2 seater AV for commercial fleet

Lucid CFO on the show tomorrow. Believe its the first interview he's done since joining Lucid. Very interested in Robotaxi economics from Lucid's POV. Welcome your questions

@itskyleconner @OOSScot @robotaxi Is the cost still same like $5?

It’s @OOSScot’s first @robotaxi experience!

@itskyleconner @LucidMotors Lucid is bold enough to let you experience regardless of your rational reviews..I guess they were confident about the product

@CajunCybertruck @briandstone They are not losing 100k per vehicle but like 20-30k. Checkout for latest updates for softwares.

I’m sure the bang for the buck for what the consumer pays is amazing. Lucid loses over $100,000 per vehicle sold, so the consumer is getting a steal. I personally think the software needs a massive overhaul—the infotainment is extremely laggy in every Lucid I’ve been in. But my biggest concern is how long the company will exist. They can’t lose billions of dollars a quarter and survive.

Spent about two hours driving the Gravity today. A mix of city and highway and I must say .. WOW what an impressive vehicle. Incredibly silent cabin, phenomenal sound system, flawlessly comfortable ride. Handles and drives like a dream. What a treat to spend time behind the wheel.

@Hilbe I am going 48k for base, 52 for higher range and 60k for performance.

RJ has told us what the R2 price target is if you payed attention.

@Michael_L_Rauch @LucidMotors @TheEvryDayChris The video is good and questions were fair. But the title seems unfair as most people see the title and skip it. Adds more negativity to the brand thats already being dragged down more by negatives than positives.

I know for YouTubers it’s about clicks & controversial thumbnails that get views, but considering how @LucidMotors was very open & transparent with @TheEvryDayChris in his video I think the Fisker 2.0 is extremely unfair comparison & not even remotely close to that situation. His video is way better than the title here or his YT thumbnail. Wish YT didn’t reward controversy & these guys would get incentivized for just good work rather than scare tactic titles.

@TheAppleCore @LucidMotors May be on investor day

When does Lucid announce a permanent CEO? Give Marc the job or make a statement. Company morale can’t be high when you have a CEO that is an interim. Make the announcement @LucidMotors

@thecavemommy Lucid gravity

I’m trying my hardest to find an SUV that’s suitable for three to four car seats that isn’t either 1) Giant Expedition / Yukon / Tahoe / Sequoia 2) A complete piece of crap (bye bye Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade) 3) Has a cramped third row (bye bye Mazda / Volvo / Honda Pilot) 4) VW Atlas & Acadia only have 6 seats. There is none, besides maybe the Highlander. Lol, the minivan is seriously the best option if you are going to have 3 young children at least in car seats

Upload a pic of your car parked to Grok and ask to make it a rolling action shot. Here’s mine. Post it in this thread 😎🙌

@briandstone @CarReviewExpert @LucidMotors Better to get it fixed then go to service center later

@CarReviewExpert @LucidMotors Have you heard when the delivery hold will be lifted? They’re currently not allowing delivery of the Gravity.

The Lucid Gravity isn't just the most spacious, luxurious, and efficient electric SUV out there,it's now ready to tow your whole world with you. Lucid Gravity Tow Hitch Embrace your adventurous spirit without compromising on your eco-values with Gravity.

@TheAppleCore Plus design too. No matter how good it is, as Doug said, its not the market wants.

Rivian R2 • Lucid Earth • Tesla Model Y? I think we all know that Lucid will beat R2 and Model Y at everything but software. Considering Lucid is missing one major link in the chain (software) They better be working on it right now!

@Michael_L_Rauch @LucidMotors You can’t argue with the folks @Michael_L_Rauch . They still think the egg shell looks awesome.

So are Auto journalists going to call the new Toyota Highlander EV a “minivan” like they labeled the @LucidMotors Gravity in a snarky way?

@lucid_ot_air @LucidMotors Looks like you can now configure lunar titanium metallic

Look at #LucidGravity sucking up all the juice. 400kW at 23% is truly impressive! It's the engineering and efficiency that put @LucidMotors ahead of its competition. If other automakers aren't worried already, they should be when the midsize comes out!

@itskyleconner Its because many peope don’t experience it. They buy one car and drive that one car only. Whereas reviewers like you have experience of multiple cars on long trip and then they see the benefit.

Based on recent viewer feedback over the last few months, people don’t really care about DC Fast Charging performance Sounds like 30-40 minutes for a 10-80% charge is where people are happy We can do a better job of reflecting the slow charging desire in our coverage

@Mikekantorski If deliveries starts mid-april and spec release on month before, when do people place order as I believe there will a huge flux.

Rivian sharing very little information on specs at this point worries me big time.

@future_yas @Out_of_Spec Even though @itskyleconner’s reviews are needy, they are more real world analysis then these short videos which just outlines the specs and features.

How is @Out_of_Spec not part of the early reviews?! InsideEVs video was so weak, I didn't even make it to the end.

@future_yas @carwowuk was much better. Doug seemed s little biased.

I love the R2 so much, I suffered through even Doug's video. It was actually the most detailed one but man I can't stand his overly exaggerated presentation style!

@brandenflasch @Rivian @Out_of_Spec @itskyleconner @tommolog Because you guys will focus on charging and range which the Rivian haven’t addressed fully and won’t go good for marketing R2 on first day

It seems @Rivian wasn't ready for EV nerd in-depth coverage of R2 yet from @Out_of_Spec / @itskyleconner, @tommolog or myself...
