2025 Lucid Gravity GT w/20F21R wheels (3R): the score gets it into the conversation; battery and service records decide whether to make an offer.
Score read
A 71/100 makes this a paperwork-and-test-drive decision. Build quality score is 85/100, but owner feedback score is only 45/100. Owners on Reddit repeatedly cite software tech and owner satisfaction as recurring problems. Treat missing repair records as a price problem, not a footnote.
Price context
This trim started from $94,900 new. Used examples have come down since launch, but pricing varies by miles, condition, and how the model is moving right now; pull a current KBB Fair Purchase, an Edmunds True Market Value, or an active dealer listing for this exact trim, and anchor your offer there. Walk if the seller will not move off new-car-style pricing.

- $ Bargain hunter Best TCO, reliability + low depreciation
Gotchas
- Serviceable Recall paperwork has to match the exact VIN.
Mitigation Use NHTSA and the automaker lookup, then require repair records instead of a verbal promise.
- Verify Owner feedback is the part to read carefully (45/100).
Mitigation Read the complaint themes and ask whether this VIN has already had those issues repaired.
- Verify Current market pricing is not confirmed well enough for this trim.
Mitigation Compare KBB, J.D. Power, and live listings for the same trim before treating price as a buying signal.
Pre-purchase inspection
- 1 Run the exact VIN through NHTSA and the automaker recall lookup before discussing price.
- 2 Compare the dashboard range estimate with the EPA 437-mile rating after a full charge.
- 3 Confirm how much of the 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty remains and whether it transfers.
- 4 If road trips matter, run a short DC fast-charge session and watch whether speed tapers normally.
- 5 Read the complaint themes, not just the count, and ask the seller whether those issues have shown up on this VIN.
VIN status first This model has 2 NHTSA recall records. The exact VIN lookup decides whether the car in front of you is clear.

Source & disclaimer
Dealers make ~$3,575 on the average car loan.
After the price is set, the finance manager runs four plays to rebuild margin. Every buyer without a pre-approval is a target. Here's exactly what they run — and what stops each one.
78% of dealer loans carry a hidden +1.13% markup above what the lender actually charges. You never see it — it's buried in the contract. · CFPB
Dealer must match or beat your lender — they can't add margin invisibly. The markup play is dead on arrival.
Once you answer, they stretch the term to hit your number. Median result: $4K less off the price, 12 more months on the loan. · Industry avg
Financing is done. Only the sale price is on the table — and the dealer knows it.
Back-office F&I profit averages $1,975/vehicle, up 8.5% YoY. These products exist — but dealer markup is 4–10x what you'd pay elsewhere. · Dealership Guy
Dealer GAP runs $500–1K. Your insurer sells the same coverage for $100–250 over 5 years. Now you know.
"Your loan fell through — come re-sign." This pulls your APR up +5% on average. It's legal. It works because you've already driven the car home. · Ctr for Responsible Lending
A lender commitment letter means the deal is final. "Pending dealer approval" doesn't apply. You can't be yo-yo'd.
Margin handed to the dealer's finance department — for nothing.
Takes 2 minutes. No obligation to use it — but you'll walk in with all the leverage.
Pre-approval is a soft credit inquiry — no score impact. FICO treats all auto-loan hard pulls within 14 days as one, so you can still shop rates at the dealer.

What Owners Are Saying
"Roadtrip with My Motorhead Nephew So last week my nephew and his wife came down to visit us in the Carolinas. Nephew Tom is a dyed-in-the-wool car fan and self-proclaimed motorhead. He's the kind of guy who can look at a classic car and tell you the make, model, and what year it came out, based on things like trim pieces and tail lights. Tom has a love of American muscle cars, but is also pretty clear eyed about their limitations. Tom was a fuel hauler back in the day and now teaches semi drivers how to do it safely. Tom has been EV curious ever since we told him we were expecting delivery of the Lucid Gravity in December. Well... last week Tom got a chance to ride in it for a few hours, get a full review of its features from yours truly, and test drive it in all three modes. He was, to put it mildly, blown away by the Lucid Gravity and how it manages to be a performance car, a luxury car, an economy car, a cargo hauling monster, and does it silently and efficiently. On our trip to Seagrove Tom took all of these pictures to share with some buddies back home. Efficiency 3.11 and about $9.32 to drive \~250 miles. Thanks to the Lucid Air Pure AWD owner who hung out in the parking lot to greet us as his "Lucid cousins". He's officially my first in-the-wild meet & greet. Special thanks to my nephew Tom for being as excited about this car as I am. This is my first EV and I took a chance on it. It felt good to hear it from a guy who is way more into the history of cars than I am. He said it felt like a car from the future."
"Glad it was fun and a good experience for all. It is that word of mouth that will get the brand out to more people. I have had similar very positive experiences from everyone that gets in my Air GT. They just haven't heard of Lucid but are blown away when they get in it and take a ride. Thanks for sharing."
"3.5.1 is amazing! From a Lucid Air to a Lucid Gravity, 3.5.1 was such a needed upgrade! Better native software stability and new features like CarPlay and Android Auto have been worth the wait, but now we need EV route charging added to them. Don’t forget to update your Lucid app and key fob as well! More detailed information on things like CarPlay limitations and accessories you can add as well coming soon."
"Grand Touring and EPA rated for 386 in my setup but I've further reduced that a bit by removing my aero covers bc I love the way the wheels look without them, plus I'm a heavy footed driver. I tend to get, in good temps and conditions, about 320/330 miles of range. I love the way my car handles and feels and I have the dynamic package. I've not driven one without it, so I cannot tell you from experience what the difference is. The car rides butter smooth when you want and into a performance beast when you switch it up. As for going off road, I've only been on a few gravel paths and the car handled that really well too. If you are going off road often, it might be worth the upgrade. They haven't enabled it yet, but there is supposed to be an offroad setting coming to the Gravity and I don't know if you will need the dynamic package for it or not, but it'd be a shame if it was required and not have it. Purely speculation on my part with that."
"The absolute worst ownership experience I’ve ever had. 2026 Gravity, 5 days into ownership Tonight, our 5 day old Lucid gravity left me, my 35 week pregnant wife and a toddler, completely stranded. Unable to put the car in in drive, it was not sensing the key fob inside the vehicle. It would be completely unreasonable if this happened 5 days into ownership, but every single day I've had issues. This is the 3rd time the car didn't go into drive, the day of delivery. The car was bricked and needed a hard reset. I'm gutted because the car drives like no other EV. It's the size of a cayenne but has interior space of a tahoe and has the handling character of a CTS V. A recent software update addressed some of these issues. I assure you, they didn't. If anyone here has any stock in Lucid, I urge you to get out. If they can't figure out a way to make a key fob work in a 120k car, And a to do a basic thing as DRIVE in 3 years. They don't deserve to be in business. PS, they replaced the fob battery at the dealership and this key fob has been a documented issue for years, and they refuse to take it seriously. Lucid Motors, do better. \- a very disappointed customer and owner"
"Some here, frozen lower screen on a couple occasions and one new wrinkle. I got in the car the other day and it refused to get into gear. That never happened before. A steering wheel reset fixed it but still frustrating. Sadly a good friend who I convinced to get a gravity has had a multitude of problems, including but not limited to a non working Fob ( replaced and still problematic) as well as huge software glitches. After 6 months she is ready to throw in the towel. Her husband refuses to drive the car and gives her multiple “ I told you so”. I feel so bad for them since this is their first electric car and I have had relatively clear sailing.

He was the one who first alerted me to Lucid's presence back in 2016 and is still intrigued by Lucid and follows the brand closely.

The shift lever was unresponsive. I had to do the 10 seconds soft reset in order to be able to drive. I had just finished a L2 charging session, unplugged, and got into the car with no problems. The cockpit display and the center console seemed fine, as I could navigate through the various menu items. Attached is a screenshot of all the (working) displays. Please make this a high priority bug fix. While this didn’t faze me, I suspect most drivers would panic if they couldn’t drive their car. I’d hate for Lucid’s brake-mic-x to become synonymous with the infamous Window’s ctrl-alt-del."
