I wish they would've gone full minivan and gone with sliding doors. My completely unscientific guess on how many they sell is probably up to 15K if production can keep up. Estimates for the Air are ~9K and I would expect a healthy bump moving to an SUV form factor. That said, it's hard to keep an entire company afloat on 24K units sold per year.

Gravity doesn’t look more like a minivan than the EQS SUV…or the Model X

I would disagree. The slope on the back of the EQS SUV and X aren't great for space, but definitely make them non-minivan like. EQS SUV looks like a hearse, not like a minivan

agree on side and for '25 they've revised the front on the sedan at least so presume that will come to the suv too.

"Revised the front end" is a bit of an overstatement. They added grill lines... lol but I agree the front does look better

Sometimes we see things same way.

Thanks Allen for posting the picture. I wasn't aware of how this gravity looks. Not good in my view. Actually disappointed. Their other models look appealing IMO. This gravity reminds me that Mercedes R class. Never like it.
