Gravity Delivery Discussion

[Batteryman]

With all due respect, as one of the few owners with a Gravity, your judgment is misplaced. This is leaps and bounds beyond what the Air has even today.

It does have working keys; that’s just incorrect.

CarPlay/AA are coming, and will not take long.

Homelink has already been discussed extensively in this thread.

Please stop talking about things you have no experience with. If you don’t like the stock price, there are other threads for that. Thanks for your consideration.

I respectfully disagree……

Lucid enthusiasts will accept such deficiencies, but regular buyers won’t. Lucid is trying to ramp up sales, such software deficiencies doesn’t help.

Agree, software much better, but the lack of homelink , Apple CarPlay , android auto is not acceptable at this stage, especially with a 6 month delay in deliveries.

I’m still very upset they didn’t go all in with sufficient compute power in the Air when it came out. And of course the terrible key.

But I still love the my Air and no regrets!

I have

As someone who owned an early 2013 S, I can tell you, Tesla software was super buggy, annoying and lots of “coming soon” features. Now, 13+ years later, sure, it’s awesome and stable.

Lucid is in a great spot and they do need patience and time - it’s only been a couple of years. The few Gravity owners out there seem quite happy so far…I have great confidence Lucid UX 3.0 will continue to improve.

no doubt they will eventually fix all the issues and improve, they just need to speed up if they want more sales. It’s a software world out there.

Homelink was std on s/x but not the 3/y. Never set it up on my x… finally set up MyQ when my new home had it on garage opener from Chamberlain. Works mostly… sometimes very slow to present the open or close button… I leave it on auto open but not close as sometimes the door is closing on unsuspecting folks… paid the money and got the compatible cameras too works well in case you forget to check the door. Check it over internet via phone.

Very early 3s had Homelink, I believe as standard. We have a 3 from the first few months of production and I’m pretty sure we didn’t have to order Homelink as an option.

My Tesla experience doesn't go quite back to 2013...but even 5 years later my X had plenty of bugs. I remember rebooting to get cellular connectivity back. On one of my cross country trips, both screens turned off. I pulled to the side of the freeway and a few minutes later it had rebooted.

CarPlay? Android Auto? Don't exist.

And it's been mentioned multiple times on this thread that Homelink is the lack of a hardware module. Sounds like a supply chain issue. When Tesla was ramping the Model 3, Musk said that any of 10,000 parts could slow things down and the rate of the ramp would be constrained by the delays of the least lucky supplier. And the Model 3 ramp was longer than Gravity so far. And that was their 3rd ground-up car. The X was also over a year before appreciable numbers were delivered.

On an airliner, there is a minimum equipment list that defined what bits of equipment must be operational and which can be bad and still fly.

It seems that Lucid decided (rightly, I think) that a module needed for a convenience feature is not a blocker for getting cars into their owners' hands--especially when it's probably easy to install once they get the part.

My GDE is still at "Order Confirmed", but I am celebrating every delivery to our fellow forum members.

Ok armchair CEO, so you suggest Lucid take back all gravity and apologize to all owners for releasing it? I mean they really shouldn’t have released the car in this state, given APPLE and ANDROID still haven’t authorized CarPlay and AA for the car and it takes time, and GENTEX who makes the hardware and license for Homelink is still figuring their stuff out as evidenced by the Volvo EX90 not having Homelink. And the equipment for the HUD that as limited due to supply chain is only in DE and that’s Lucid’s fault too. What should Lucid do? You’re the boss. Let Mark know they need to suck up another massive financial loss and let those manufactured Gravities sit in lots until all 3rd party related features are perfect.

Even if I didn’t own an air, releasing the car right now is acceptable rather than delaying further, unless you think they’re just sitting around being slow cuz they don’t care and not doing the best job they can under the circumstances (see my prior comment about this thing called “benefit of the doubt” that apparently you don’t have).
