The 2025 Lucid Gravity GT w/22F23R wheels (3R) packs 386 miles of EPA range, 400 kW fast charging and a 117 kWh battery, and a worth-pursuing score, but only after a hard inspection and a fair price.
Score read
A 71/100 makes this a records-first inspection. Software and driver-assist score is 92/100, but owner feedback score is only 52/100. On Reddit, owners keep flagging the same two issues: range and owner satisfaction. 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 (52/100).
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 386-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."
"Great test. Which car was leading and which was following? Could drafting have had an effect? Your data gives a range of 345 mile (93% of EPA) for the mid tires and 333 miles (90% of EPA) for the large tires. That’s pretty good considering your speeds, especially the bursts to 90. I wonder if you could hit rated by going no faster than 65 mph. Is the rated range of 370 programmed into both of your cars (charge tab -> usage -> settings -> info button next to range display option)? I have the GDE 7-seater with the small wheels (hankook) and mine is rated at 420 miles. It’s hard to believe that the small tires make that big of a difference. It’s too bad we live on opposite coasts. It would have been great to compare all three tires sizes.

"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."
"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"
"I had the exact same thing happen a few hours ago. Things I have learned, and this does not excuse Lucid, You can get the car into drive with the app. Press the icon that looks like a cell phone. The 2450 batteries have a bit over 3 volts when new. After about two days in the fob, they drop under 2.9 or so and the fob basically gives up. Is this beyond dumb? Oh, yeah. But if you use the app, you’ll get home."
"Lucid Gravity charge port stuck I’m having a recurring issue with my Lucid Gravity where the charge connector gets stuck after charging for about 1–2 hours on a home Level 2 charger (60A circuit / 50A AC charging). When I try to unplug (while unlocked), it won’t release no matter what troubleshooting I try, and only comes out several hours later (sometimes the next morning). This has happened multiple times (I have videos), and even after a service visit where they replaced the charge port door, the issue came back. What’s interesting is that after software update 3.4.4 the problem completely disappeared for a while (both Tesla and Lucid chargers worked fine), but after a technician visit and update 3.5.1, the exact same issue returned—and now even happens with Lucid chargers too. The pattern is very consistent, so it doesn’t seem random. Has anyone else experienced something similar with the Gravity or other Lucid models? Trying to figure out if this is a known issue or just my vehicle."
"A lot of Gravity’s software issues have been related to various sensors that are reading slightly out of spec (which, for instance, is what caused so many of the warnings the car would display in earlier software iterations), so a hypothetical explanation would be that the car may be “sensing” current flowing through the port that isn’t actually there, and so the car does not unlock the port until the bad sensor data comes back into spec a couple of hours later."
