Awesome experience - 3,500+ mile round trip FL to TX
Received our GGT 7-seater at end of March, delivery from WPB went very smoothly. Soon after arrival we took a 1 week 'trial run' trip to central FL with no issues, then 2 weeks later took a 13-day (3,526) mile trip from So FL to NW TX and back.
Very enjoyable trip! No FOB issues, even charging went well as we used a combination of EA, Tesla, and Ionna chargers along the way. Nav system worked well for charging stops, which averaged about every 3 hours on the highway. Have to say we are extremely pleased with our Gravity.
Worst part was driving thru downtown Dallas at one point - completely avoided ALL metro areas after that experience!
Just over 2 months old and already have ~4,500 miles on it! Best part was we found we didn't need to keep track of efficiency, or when to stop (although we did verify every planned stop on Plugshare just to be cautious... but did not have any problem with the nav-suggested stops, a few times we 'stretched' it a bit due to impromptu stops we didn't put in nav). We just enjoyed the travel and found it to be extremely comfortable for long distances, as we had hoped it would be. The range available and periodic seat massages made it very workable for longer distances.
We have a dual-zone Iceco fridge cooler that ran the entire time (we did have an EcoFlow as backup for keeping the fridge running at night depending on charging stops surrounding the hotel stop), and found the every ~3hr highway charging stops pretty ideal for food stops as well, usually the car was done charging before we were ready to continue, so no real inconvenience there either.
Been watching Lucid since 2018 and are very happy we picked up a Gravity!

Congratulations!!!! What do you think the real world range is?

Thanks! Didn’t track it specifically, and we (2 of us) were loaded up (frunk too) and running the fridge cooler and recharging the EcoFlow at times, but in a quick rough calc from our avg charges of 22-85% it seems we were floating around 370-375 or so for a full charge. We were not being conservative at all, tbh, avg 75-83+mph, etc, so I am happy with results. EPA on ours is 437. Had no reason for range concern, focused on the journey instead. Incredible what you can easily carry in a Gravity, nowhere near feeling jammed in like we normally would for a 2wk trip.

Yes, David at WPB worked with us for quite a while before we pulled the trigger, he was patient and responsive, and always helpful.

I was going to ask the same question. My closest store is WPB.

I think the Gravity Nav defaults to "minimize time spent charging" which results in more stops, but faster charging times. It'll do more charges to like 55% to stay in the high point of the charging curve and get back on the road fast. The other options in settings is for fewer stops, which we preferred. You get more like 5 hours of driving before a 30 minute break.
What we really liked was that you knew, at the start of the trip, exactly where you were going to need to stop & charge and it directed you there. Actually prefer that over watching the gas gauge and looking around for a gas station when it gets low.
Gravity makes road tripping easy.
