The Lucid Gravity is one of the most luxurious and fastest electric SUVs to hit the market, but despite all it has going for it, one low-mileage example recently failed to sell at auction, as bidders were unwilling to meet the seller’s reserve. It seems that both the vehicle’s condition and the seller’s handling of inquiries turned off potential buyers.

This particular Gravity is a Touring model finished in Abyss Black, equipped with the Dynamic Handling Package, the Surreal Sound Pro audio system, and Lucid’s DreamDrive 2 driver assistance suite.

A look at the window sticker shows it had an MSRP of $121,050, and as it had only been driven 1,700 miles (2,735 km) at the time of the auction, it could have been expected to fetch bids of over $100,000, but that wasn’t the case.

After a week on the platform, bidding for the SUV topped out at $87,287. For the most part, the exterior looks to be in good condition, but there is a deep, three-inch gash on the tailgate, an eight-inch scratch on the passenger side rear door, and a three-inch scratch on one of the quarter panels.

There’s no word on what caused this kind of damage, but it appears as though it’s been intentionally keyed, and the panels will need to be resprayed, which could be a costly endeavor for any new buyer.

Cars & Bids

According to the seller, he listed the Gravity on behalf of his friend who owned it for two weeks but decided he preferred his old Tesla Model X.

However, some people in the comments section questioned whether this was true or not and suggested the seller was simply trying to flip the SUV.

Paperwork Problems

The seller also mentioned that the title for the vehicle had not yet arrived and could take up to two weeks to process. For any buyer, that delay would complicate the handover and slow the completion of the sale.

Inevitably further impacting the sale of this Gravity is that it’s possible to order a Grand Touring model directly from Lucid with immediate delivery for just over $100,000.

Cars & Bids

When Tesla started customer deliveries of the Cybertruck in late 2023, it seemed that every man and their dog was trying to buy one. For a brief moment, this demand led to a massive spike in prices on the used market with flippers rushing in to cash out. However, as is so often the case, these prices soon began to crash and can now be so low that it almost beggars belief. Take this 2024 Cybertruck, which recently failed to sell over at Bring a Trailer.

The first thing that stands out about this Cybertruck is the Gulf Racing livery. The blue and orange theme is one of the most iconic liveries ever used in motorsport and has previously adorned racing legends like the McLaren F1 GTR, Porsche 917, and Ford GT40. On a supercar, it looks great, but the livery seems totally out of place on a Cybertruck. Then there’s the fact Gulf is an oil company, so slapping its logo on an EV feels about as fitting as a steakhouse sponsoring a vegan festival.

The Depreciation King

While the aftermarket wrap is a little odd, this Cybertruck is a flagship tri-motor Cyberbeast model, carrying a $105,485 sticker price. Given that it has only been driven 2,200 miles (3,540 km) and was offered with a clean Montana title, it’s a little shocking that bidding topped out at a measly $76,500.

That’s an extreme amount of depreciation, even by Tesla’s usual rollercoaster standards. The top bid came in nearly $29,000 under the original MSRP, which works out to around $13 lost for every mile driven. Factor in the $10,000 spent on the wrap, and the seller is staring at close to $40,000 gone in less than a year.

While the Cybertruck is controversial, as is Tesla chief executive Elon Musk, there’s no denying that the Cyberbeast is quick. Thanks to its three electric motors, it delivers an impressive 845 hp, allowing it to hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 2.6 seconds. Evidently, not even the promise of performance like that, or a motorsport-inspired livery, was enough to convince someone to buy this Tesla.

Buying an electric vehicle from a carmaker that’s already gone under sounds like the kind of gamble best left to thrill-seekers, yet we suspect that the Fisker Ocean has become so absurdly cheap that plenty of buyers will probably talk themselves into rolling the dice.

In late July, we discovered that Newport Fisker in Costa Mesa, California, was attempting to offload no less than 24 used Ocean, all of which had been heavily discounted to between $22,990 and $27,990. Fast forward to September, and the prices of many of these models have been slashed even further, with no less than four examples now available for just $17,990.

Bargain Pricing With Caveats

The blue Fisker Ocean you see here is one of them. While it officially has a sticker price of $21,990, that falls to $17,990 for those who are eligible to receive the used EV federal tax credit before the Trump administration ditches it at the end of September. This means it’s possible to buy a low-mileage electric SUV for roughly the same price as a new Nissan Versa.

This ultra-affordable Ocean has been driven just 9,200 miles and includes a tow hitch, a Level 2 home charger, and all-weather floor mats. There’s no word on whether the EV has received all of the recall repairs that Fisker has issued.

In terms of performance, it undeniably represents great value for money at under $20,000. This 2023 model is an Ocean One, meaning it has twin electric motors combining to deliver 564 hp, allowing it to hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in less than 4 seconds. It also features a large 106 kWh battery pack that gives it up to 360 miles (580 km) of range.

What if Something Goes Wrong?

If the deal sounds to good to be true and you wonder where the catch is, this could be the fact that the dealer notes that “should the vehicle prove defective following their purchase, the buyer and not the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer assumes the entire cost of all necessary servicing and repairs.”

In other words, once the Fisker’s keys are yours, so are the risks. If something goes wrong, you’re responsible for footing the bill to get if fixed.

So, would you take the plunge on a bargain-bin EV from a company that no longer exists, or does the thought of hunting down parts for a ghost-brand SUV make you run for the hills?
