Thanks for the post. My wife and I are very interested in the Gravity, but it feels too soon to buy. We’ll wait until they get it fully baked and maybe order one the end of the year or even next year. Our Mercedes EQS 580 SUV works beautifully with no glitches so we’ll just watch and wait for now. We also need to drive one of course, and there’s none near Central PA, where we live.
I'm curious about the CarPlay implementation as well. In one of the press videos a Lucid rep mentioned that CarPlay would take over the lower screen, but in a more recent video it was show on the upper screen, similar to the Air.
Welcome! I put 45K miles in our 23 ESQ 580 SUV before we traded it in for a Cybertruck. I miss the ARHUD the most and hope Gravity’s version is better.

Seems to me that getting CarPlay to work in the Gravity should be fairly straight forward since it's been available in most new cars for several years. This may indicate possible glitches their software team needs more time to resolve. Their interim CEO said recently that they want to get these issues resolved before demo testers to their Studios, sounds like a proper decision to me. I wouldn't want to drive some distance to test drive a Gravity only to experience software glitches. Take your time Lucid and get it right. That will work out much better for you and your customers.

My guess is just that Apple needs to certify it, and they couldn't do that on an unreleased car, maybe? But you're right, I don't think it will take long. Maybe I'll be wrong.

You may be correct, I checked Apple’s website and while the Lucid Air is listed as approved for CarPlay, the Gravity is not yet listed.

Not sure if it was wired or wireless but this Gravity video from EV_OG shows CarPlay working in the Gravity:

Looking at the center screen, looks like that's a Air Touring, not a Gravity.
I think part of his intro to the actual Gravity review video was of someone in an AT using launch mode.

That's an Air. Look at the vents, steering wheel... It's not a Gravity at all.

Just watched this. What a crap video! He didn't test drive the car at all, he pretended he drove it by slipping in some footage of him driving an Air.

Not your fault they misrepresented the video.

Calling it a "crap video" is perhaps a bit much?
Maybe well intended, but definitely mistitled with an inaccurate description; thus misleading.
A better and more accurate title might have been "Gravity Showroom Review".
What he showed outside wasn't much compared to what he recorded in the showroom.
I became aware of the video through a Reddit post and after looking at some of his other videos and hearing his ownership history, the "EVOG" name at least makes sense.
However, back to his Gravity video; not sure why he chose the title and published that description.
Looks like he and his wife did a test drive; she's in the driver's seat, but it's possible they didn't have an appointment and were only allowed to sit in the Gravity at some point in the day. If it was an actual test drive, the obvious question is why didn't he record and publish the test drive. The use of the AT in launch mode is also puzzling and misleading, which is a check in the "crap video" box.
I honestly hadn't considered that the launch mode sequence was in a Gravity because nowhere else in the video are there any road scenes.
My Gravity DE running 3.2.0 does not have CarPlay enabled. I hope it will work wirelessly, but that will only matter once they get the wireless charging pad to work. Until then I need to plug my phone in to charge it.

Viewers deserve accurate content, not vague titles and stitched-together clips designed to bait engagement. If creators want to be taken seriously, they need to take their responsibility seriously too.Calling it a "crap video" is perhaps a bit much?

Quite true.
Not to get too far off-topic, but your accurate statements remind me of the risk of posting video online. Especially YouTube where people can comment.
When I get my GGT, I've thought about posting a YouTube video with my thoughts. Just to contribute as an actual owner for anyone who might be interested. Kind of sharing good news/excitement; publicity for the brand. However, my intent is not be a "creator" wanting to be taken seriously (e.g. seeking subscribers) even though I do plan to take responsibility for accuracy of what I say/show; basic info. That responsibility has to be taken seriously because you never know who will be a viewer and where the video will be reposted.
I'm guessing this is one reason people don't post videos or find a legit online creator like you did. I think if I do post any videos, I'll just turn off the comments feature. And maybe add a disclaimer about my intent.
People are grasping for content. Especially with the Gravity and potential features like wireless CarPlay.
