Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, is slowly bringing its Grok chatbot to parity with top rivals like ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini. Wednesday night, xAI announced a “memory” feature for Grok that enables the bot to remember details from past conversations. Now, if you ask Grok for recommendations, it’ll give more personalized responses — assuming you’ve used it enough to allow it to “learn” your preferences. ChatGPT has long had a similar memory feature, which was recently upgraded to reference a user’s entire chat history. Gemini, too, has persistent memory to tailor its replies to individual people. “Memories are transparent,” reads…

The ride itself is surprisingly comfortable, an effect furthered by the sofa-like seats. While the height helps with the headroom it does mean the center of gravity is not so low, leading to some body movement. Power comes from a 63 hp (47 kW) electric motor mounted on the front axle which can deliver 195 Nm of torque.There are actually two forms of braking regeneration, the normal and the e-pedal variety. While the braking regeneration under Eco is definitely noticeable, it is nothing compared to what you get when you press the e-pedal button. With this engaged you get a…

So Lucid developed a proprietary “boost” technology—it declined to give WIRED precise details—to raise incoming 500-volt power to match the pack’s 926 volts. It says only that it uses the rear motor unit to do so, presumably through one of the windings acting as a DC-DC inverter. The boost function delivers up to 225 kW from a v3 Supercharger.Lucid also moved the Gravity’s charge-port door from the left-front fender to the left rear, just as it is today on Tesla cars—allowing the Gravity to use current Tesla v3 Superchargers with their characteristically short cables. While two preproduction cars at the…
