Difference here is healthcare is an essential industry. Selling pricey cars isn’t.

Toyota SSBs press seems more designed around inducing an Osborne effect to limit current BEV demand to support hybrid sales.

I feel like the weird lines that don’t work for me on the Air work better on the Gravity. Similar to how the EQS SUV looks better (to me) than the EQS sedan, the Gravity looks more like a chunky SUV, which is what buyers of such a thing I think want.

I know they’re going to be selling at a loss at $80k (if that spec ever is sold) but compared to Rivian, Tesla, Merc, and Volvo 3 row EV options, this should sell like hot cakes (if they market well enough to their target market).

Same here. Had a deposit from nearly day one. Had to cancel after seeing how half baked both the organization and the car software was when it came time to covert the deposit to an order. Maybe those things are better now >1y later… but now there’s even more competition coming in cheaper than they are. The Model S is that much cheaper and the Polestar 4 and ID.7 are coming around the corner.

For what they’re charging, they need to have their systems worked out basically perfectly. Especially for nav/route planning and media controls it should feel at least as good as the AAOS Google Maps and Spotify does on my Polestar 2, which is almost half the cost of the equivalently spec-ed Lucid.
