by Owner Sold Almost New Lucid Gravity for $142 Thousand After Just 400 Miles
The owner of a Lucid Gravity Dream Edition electric car got rid of the vehicle after just 400 miles of driving, suffering significant financial losses. The main reasons were malfunctioning charging stations at the workplace and the inability to install a charging device at home.
Power and Disappointment
Owning a car with 1,070 horsepower can be incredibly exciting, but everything changes when it turns out it cannot be charged. This is exactly the situation faced by the buyer of the Lucid Gravity Dream Edition from Brooklyn, who purchased the car in September 2025 but decided to sell it just over a month later.
Financial Losses
According to the seller at the auction, the initial cost of the car was $141,550. However, during the sale, they managed to get only $123,000, meaning a loss of $18,500. Thus, each mile of driving cost him $46.25.
Charging Problems
Why did the owner get rid of the car, which he calls “incredible”? It all comes down to the practical aspects of charging. The owner compared his situation to buying a powerful car, such as a Hellcat, if the nearest gas station was 220 miles away.
I planned to charge the car at work, but the charging stations there don’t work, and it seems no one plans to repair them. Since I don’t have charging at home and can’t install it, this became an unsolvable problem.
Difficulties of Living in New York
The owner also mentioned the difficulties associated with living in New York. Most charging stations convenient for him were located in parking lots where he had to pay significant amounts for parking to use the charger. He added that due to his busy lifestyle, he couldn’t find a working solution.
I tried to find another option, but in New York, most charging stations were in parking lots where I had to pay a lot of money for parking. I lead an active lifestyle, so I couldn’t find a suitable solution.
Future Plans
This story shows how important the availability of infrastructure for electric vehicles is, even in large cities like New York. Despite the disappointment, the owner has not lost faith in electric cars and plans to return to them as soon as the opportunity arises to solve the charging problem.
Such cases remind us that the transition to electric vehicles requires not only financial investments but also careful planning regarding their operation. Even the most advanced technologies can turn out to be impractical without the appropriate infrastructure. In the future, the growing popularity of electric vehicles will likely contribute to the development of charging networks, making their use more convenient for everyone.
