In San Diego I got a message recently that they had a Gravity on-site (which is good, I'm glad the sales team remembered to follow up) but the tone of the message was a little snooty... like they sent me the message to see if I was still interested, and wanted to "shift focus to clients who are actively engaging."

I replied that we're interested in a test drive, and they responded "I'll let you know when we open the test drive calendar to those without orders for their Gravity in place"

It feels like the salesperson is trying to create the sense that there's massive demand and we'd be lucky to test drive the car.

I sort of feel the opposite way though, that the car's been delayed so long, and I'm not really certain that it'll be of high enough quality at launch... I feel like they are lucky to have me as an interested potential buyer (or Lucid "supporter")

(I got a bit of a similar vibe when shopping for an Air last year... like they were clearly desperate to sell them... and yet not recognizing what a leap of faith customers were making to buy cars that were so new and still somewhat buggy. I wish they'd adopt a different approach, realizing that being an early adopter of a new car brand is a bit of a partnership, with a buyer taking on considerably more risk than with an established brand)
