👀 Spotted my first Lucid Gravity in the wild 

For the uninitiated, this is the model Lucid, Nuro, and Uber are building their upcoming robotaxis on. They plan to deploy 20,000 Gravitys but the MSRP is nearly $100,000! I still have a lot of questions about the business model here as I am not convinced there will be that much demand for a high end AV option (Waymo’s fleet is only 2,000 right now), especially since the rest of the industry is trending towards cheaper vehicles (Zeekr, Ioniq 5, etc).

But I have to admit the vehicle is growing on me. At first, it reminded me of a mini-van, and still does a bit, but it looks sleek and roomy. Other than the cost, a great UberX / UberXL type car.
