We seem to have entered a period of dead calm in the Gravity launch process. There was a torrent of coverage in the weeks following the November reveal at the L.A. Auto Show, but now it's pretty much crickets on the news update front. Sure, Derek Jenkins, Zeb Coughenour, and Rob Whitley have been rolled out for interviews recently. Even Peter Rawlinson still sits down with the press or gets on camera occasionally. But they've really teed up no new information since the L.A. reveal.
No hints or teases about when and how orders will open up. Will existing Lucid owners get a heads up from Lucid? Will Air Dream Edition owners get first crack at Gravity Dream Editions?
No information about the Dream Edition. Will it be a limited run? Will its power specs differ from other trim levels as it did with the Air?
No dribbles of information about which final production details are getting locked in. Rear wheel steering? HUD? Captain's chairs? Tri-motor option?
I suppose this dead spell is to be expected, and I'm confident that Lucid is going full bore behind the scenes in moving the Gravity toward production. But to someone who went through several years of anticipation and waiting for the Air, it's deja vu all over again, as Mr. Berra would say. And it's got me fretting and biting my nails. Again.
