Out of Spec has taken delivery of a long-term Lucid Gravity, and the delivery video doubles as a full tour of how the hosts specced it. It is a 2027 Gravity Grand Touring in Yoseite Perlux over stellar white, a press-fleet loaner Lucid let host Kyle configure himself and keep for six months to a year. The window sticker starts at $98,900 and lands at $121,150 as built. Kyle walks through the choices: the roughly 123 to 124 kWh pack with Panasonic cells, a NACS charging port, aero wheels, and a slammed air suspension. He also owns two things he regrets, skipping the head-up display and, more notably, ordering the five-seat layout instead of the seven-seater, which means no third-row air vents.
What makes this more than an unboxing is the benchmark the hosts set. They mention driving a Porsche Cayenne, specced about four thousand dollars higher, to the airport to collect the Gravity, and both say without formal testing that the Lucid felt like the better car for the money. That comparison matters because the large electric SUV field is filling out fast, and the video itself lists the company it now keeps: the Cadillac Escalade IQ, the new Volvo EX90, and a fresh Cayenne, with more rivals on the horizon. For a buyer weighing a six-figure electric three-row, the useful takeaway is that Lucid is no longer competing on range alone. It is being cross-shopped against Porsche and Cadillac on the whole package, and the hosts say the Gravity's interior space and packaging felt notably more generous than the Cayenne's.
On the technical side, Kyle digs into the charging story. He says the Gravity uses a high-voltage pack, cites figures in the region of 925 volts, and explains that on a Tesla Supercharger it runs the rear motor and inverter to boost voltage, letting it hold around 225 kW for the whole session rather than sagging, which he contrasts with split-pack systems that start slow. Faster 400 kW chargers still edge it, he says, but not by much. As proof of the range, the hosts describe driving from Lucid's Bay Area headquarters down to Los Angeles at around 80 mph without stopping to charge, arriving at roughly 4 percent from a full battery. The optioned Dynamic Handling Package, at $3,900, adds rear-wheel steering and triple-chamber air suspension, which he rates a must-have, and he also selected the top driver-assistance package and a 22-speaker sound system.
The video spends time on the software too, running through a lengthy profile and driver-assist setup on the car's latest update, which the hosts say improves things like rear-cabin climate, door unlocking and the surround-view camera. They are not uncritical: they point to a display alignment quirk they call notchy, and describe Lucid as having been through a turbulent stretch with heavy executive turnover and a rocky launch. Both notes are framed as their own observations rather than settled fact. The hosts also stress a point about their own integrity, saying Out of Spec accepts no money from automakers and paid its own way to collect the car, which is worth repeating given how loaner reviews can blur that line.
Bottom line: A $121,150 Gravity that two experienced reviewers say beats a pricier Cayenne is a strong opening line, but this is a loaner they will actually live with, so the verdict that counts comes later. The charging story is the real headline here: holding 225 kW on a Supercharger through boost is a genuine road-trip advantage. If you are shopping this class, the Gravity earns a test drive. Just wait for Out of Spec's six-month report before you sign, because launch-era Lucids have not always aged smoothly.
