Gravity software updates

[HC_79]

The HUD I noticed new steering wheel icon at certain speeds. So some improvement on the HUD has been made with this update
Over all the connectivity has improved with no glitches

It was always there but I think it got a size upgrade so it was more noticeable.

It’s basically telling you that you can enable Drive Assist and is also visible on the Cockpit as well.

And also it turns orange-ish when Drive Assist is enabled.

Highly possible. Previously I missed it but now after the upgrade it has become more prominent and clearly noticeable.

This feels important -- at least in my X, the scariest moments have been where I've thought "FSD" was enabled but it had actually tripped off earlier for some reason. Yes, there's an auditory signal when it turns off, but the only real-time indication is "is the tiny steering wheel blue".

We just started the 3.2.1 update. There were four differences in doing OTA updates on our Air:

- There was no dot by the settings icon on the Gravity pilot screen telling you an update was available as there is on the Air. You could only find the notice by opening the settings menu. There is, however, an update notice given on the mobile app for the Gravity.

- The update could not be initiated from the car's screens as it can be in the Air. It could only be initiated from the mobile app.

- The car could not be plugged in to our home Level 2 charger when updating, although the information on the screen only said it should not be plugged in to public fast chargers. The Air can stay plugged in to a Level 2 charger, with the update simply interrupting charging until the update is complete. Confusingly, there was a warning that charging might not automatically resume after the update, suggesting the car could be left plugged in to a Level 2 charger.

- The update would not commence until I exited the car and initiated the update via the mobile app. There was a notice that the update could not initiate until all passengers had exited the vehicle. In the Air, the screen will accept the command to initiate the update while you are still in the car and then give you a countdown to exit the car.

I'm perplexed why Lucid would make the update procedures so different between the Air and the Gravity, especially with the Air's being much less cumbersome.

That's false. I know, because that's how I had to do it while the Lucid Mobile App is not working in iOS 26 Beta 3

It was the same experience as the Air for me. You start the update from the pilot panel and the 2 min timer starts to get out of the vehicle.

It was not false in our case. We drove the car for almost an hour before we got home, and I was looking for the dot on the pilot screen to signify an available update, wondering if the notice on the mobile app was a bum steer. I had to open the settings menu on the pilot panel to find a written notice of an available update.

When I used the car's pilot screen to initiate the update, I got the same series of notes we get in the Air about starting the update, requiring you to hit "Next" to move on to the next screen. However, when I got through them all and hit the "Confirm" button, a notice popped up on the screen saying the update could not initiate and that all occupants must first exit the vehicle. Of course, once out of the vehicle it becomes impossible to initiate the update from the car's screens. That's why I turned to the mobile app to initiate the update.

The update is now complete. Took 28 minutes.

Works the same as Air for me as well. No idea why it didn't for you, @hmp10

Mine was plugged into my Gen 2 Tesla wall charger when I initiated the update. It was set to a scheduled charge to start at 12am, but after the update. That scheduled charge was overridden, and the car charge to 80% as it was plugged in.

Your update took 28 min? Mine took over 50 min! Do I need to get in line for the processor upgrade?! Lol

Cellular or Wi-Fi connection?

Cellular or Wi-Fi connection?

I did have wifi on during the update--I thought that might get it pushed to me faster. (Of note, this was actually the first time I had wifi on---as I figured it might be contributing to the connection issues so I kept it off knowing there's a history of the Air having issues switching between wifi and cellular). I have very good AT&T reception at my house. All that being said, I'd assume it actually downloads the update in it's entirety before starting the process to avoid a failed update if the connection was lost during the update---thought I could be wrong with this assumption.

You’re not wrong. The update is fully downloaded before starting.

So, drove the car for a bit this evening to run a few errands and grab dinner on the new software version. I'm always hesitant to declare victory prematurely...but after coming back to a locked car 4 times now, I have not had to switch profiles/reboot even once to have the car reestablish connectivity (to start SiriusXM and retrieve my profile stuff). I did notice that one of the times it took about 5-10 seconds to reconnect (where I was about to reach for the profile button to switch profiles)...but it fixed itself. I think the connectivity bug may be squashed! Woohoo!

As for the HUD being different. I didn't notice any changes--though I wasn't really paying attention. The new eVTOL beta mode and addition of Android Auto disttracted me. J/K

May I add: Not only does the connectivity issue seem to be fixed...but I did NOT notice anything new to be broken after the update which is a relief.

what is eVTOL?

 

[DrZorro]

what is eVTOL?

I was making a joke about new capabilities...eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing):
