as nice as it is for us enthusiasts, the problem with the gravity is they tried to put ‘everything’ into it. that’s very nice, but it ain’t cheap. name a feature it doesn’t offer? lol

Lucid needs to sell the Gravity, they will incentivize the leases just like they have with the Air. We're a year out, so we have time. Lower trims will come too.

I will drive it, may just be a few weeks. My kids are home with no camp for the next 2 weeks and then they go back to school, so the two of us getting anywhere is tough

If it's going to be the family vehicle, taking the kids wouldn't be a bad idea.

Anyone see the lease deals on the KIA Niro? It's $109 a month in some cases!

Could be a crazy good deal if you can make sure the downpayment cost will be saved on fuel cost reduction, perfect throw away car with no maintenance needed for the lease period.

$50-75 for a select few, zero traditional down payment, just first payment, fees, and taxes. If you charge at home, or can primarily charge at a low cost low hassle location, smoking hot deal.

ev9s also seems to be overstocked, not $100 but deal worthy.

Cx90 PHEVs are good this month if you can find em.

luxury cuv wise mb 450es are the bee's proverbial knees

Watching a video on Harry’s Garage about his experience with his PHEV Range Rover Sport and he put up these figures which I thought was interesting. Big shift in the UK towards plug in vehicles.
