I may have taken a ride in the brand new Lucid Gravity SUV
Photo Credits: Kirsten Korosec The first Lucid Gravity SUV — the second all-electric vehicle in the company’s portfolio — rolled off the production line last month; and just a few have made it into customer and employee hands. So when Lucid announced on X that it was driving a couple of Gravity SUVs around CES 2025, you better believe I made it my mission to find them.
And here it is with TechCrunch senior reporter Sean O’Kane sitting in the trunk, which was equipped with a rollout cushion, of sorts. Stay tuned for our write up, photos, and video of the Gravity SUV that includes some interesting details.

A keyboard for writers, with a focus on productivity
Astrohaus has released several productivity-focused pieces of hardware in the past, like the Freewrite Traveler, which allows for distraction-free writing on the go. Ignoring the phone perpetually burning a distracting hole in your pocket, the company revealed the Freewrite Wordrunner at CES. It has word count and timing mechanisms built into a mechanical keyboard to give you another option when trying to hit your deadline.

A $489 pair of smart glasses beaming a screen right into your eye
Big tech companies continue to want to make smart glasses a thing, and there’s been some more traction of late with Ray-Ban Meta entering the market. Halliday’s newly revealed smart glasses take a slightly different approach, beaming text and images right into your eyeball, as opposed to projecting everything onto the glasses’ lenses themselves.
It’s not just a cost-saving measure, though; it also allows for a more typical design and the use of prescription lenses with all the smart features. Check out our hands-on impressions here.

Look, a plastic ‘Cybertruck’ with a tiny helicopter in the trunk
Well, technically it’s called the Xpeng Aero HT.
This six-wheeled truck from a Chinese EV maker carries around a little helicopter buddy everywhere it goes. It looks like a behemoth sitting here on the CES floor, and I’m not sure where you would drive this thing besides the surface of Mars. Since it costs “below $300,000,” I would hope it at least helps you colonize a new planet.

CES is trying to kill me
Last year it was COVID. This year, a sprained ankle. This may be my 20th CES, but the show hasn’t gotten any easier on my frail bones. The good news is the convention center halls are lined with robotic exoskeletons. I’ve spotted around a dozen so far. Seems like as good an excuse as any for a hands-on review.
