Gravity Bugs / Issues

[hmp10]

I'm pretty sure my seat would make noise in more than one setting as well...as far as I've investigated it at this point, I can at least say there's thankfully a setting where it does NOT rattle.

Is that point a function of the fore/aft position of the seat or the recline angle of the seat back?

Actually, the most aggravating thing we've found so far is a squeaky rattle in the driver side of the second row seats. The noise disappears with someone sitting in the seat, but it is loud and constant with no one occupying the seat. Even just jiggling the seat back with your hand will produce the noise when the car is at a standstill. I'm hoping the mobile tech can correct it and spare the car a truck ride across the state.

I have a rattle from the second row seats as well and it has become really annoying because our roads are quite rough (only makes noise on rough roads). The rattle went away for a drive once I lowered the second row seats, but has since come back regardless of how I position the seats. If anyone can supply a picture or instructions on making it go away they would be my hero.

On the upside:

- The handling is superb, with the RWS really showing its chops in things like tight inside-lane-to-inside lane turns.

- The highway ride is eerily quiet (except for that damned seat rattle), appreciably more so than our already quiet Air.

- The acceleration is more than brisk, although weather and traffic conditions today prevented our really pushing it.

- The squircle was a shocker. After hating our Tesla yoke to the point of replacing it with a proper wheel, I was in dread of how I would find it. It's actually easy to use, feeling instantly intuitive and providing a great view of the glass cockpit.

I have to agree with all of these. In particular, I had a Model X Plaid with the yoke and paid to get a steering wheel back as the yoke was worse than useless. I am amazed at how natural using the squircle feels. I have no regrets at all on getting a squircle and you would have to pry it out of my cold dead hands..

Another upside I've found is that DreamDrive Pro works really well for me. I sometimes have trouble initiating it (button presses are seemingly ignored at random), but once it kicks in it works just as well as Autopilot did for me.

2 things seemed to affect it:

1) It seems to related to the position of the two 2nd row seats in relation to each other. When they were exactly even with each other, I think the leather or something in the armrest was rubbing against something else. I first initiated the rattling issue when I was in the back and decided to move both seats all the way as far back as they would go. I think this affects it the most...but it also seems to be affected by:

2) How far back the seats are. If it move them both forward an inch or two from the rearmost location (and not quite equally for each seat), that seemed to fix it when done in conjunction with having the front of one seat cushion maybe 1/4" more forward than the other seat rather than being flush with each other. Not sure if that makes sense?

sit higher up and the oval goes away.

I think it's most affected by the vertical height position of your head (up/down with respect to the floor and roof--higher up seems to avoid it)

On the test drive GGT with the HUD I only noticed a visual artifact in the bottom right of the screen and only when looking off axis. When looking straight ahead there was zero artifact.

I opened the Gravity frunk yesterday and found a rubber gasket lying in the bottom of it. I don't know when it came off, but I was able to pop it back into place. It had two conical "mushroom" pop-in plugs that appear not to have been pressed fully into place during assembly.

yup, both of these on my DE were loose when I first opened the frunk so I did some securing myself. The "hook" on the bottom of the rubber piece was the harder part to secure

Are you saying that tall drivers will have a good experience, and short drivers will find HUD reflections more annoying?

I found I had way less glare simply my adjusting my seat to be higher up

Both the blue oval and the friendly ghost reflected in the windshield above the HUD are visible from the front passenger seat as well as the driver seat. These two pictures were taken from the passenger seat:

I've sent these pictures to Lucid Customer Care, and this issue has been added to the service ticket for our visit from a mobile tech to deal with the navigation system stuck in Arizona and the rattling second-row seats.

 

[Bunnylebowski]

I’m curious to know what their assessment will be. I’d guess the stuck in AZ navigation problem would be fixed if they re-assign you as having completed delivery. I vaguely remember early Air deliveries in like Feb/March of 2022 having some issues where completed delivery didn’t fully register and navigation thought the car was still in AZ. Might have to dig through the archives here. As far as the HUD…, seems like some are worse than others, wonder if heat affected it after assembly or something.

My account on the Lucid website shows this Gravity as "Delivered", the same as our Air.

Lucid Customer Care said a mobile tech will have to reload 3.2.0 to correct the problem, and this squares with what another poster reported was required to fix the same problem in his Gravity.

Although the car is currently showing as located in Arizona, it has bounced around, sometimes showing in Newark, CA and sometimes showing in the ocean just off the west coast of Africa.

Bingo.

 

[jered]

I'm curious -- @borski, if you can say -- did your 2025 loaner vehicle have the same concerns about keys, streaming media, etc?

And here is the second most aggravating thing about the Gravity: the reflections above the HUD. It looks to be a reflection of distortion in a protective film, but if there is one there I could not get a grip on it to pull it off.

That is clearly a ghost from a deceased jellyfish. Be careful

Yeah the west coast of Africa happened to my Air. For that one mobile tech had to reset some module under the seat but I imagine the fix is different for the Gravity so fingers crossed the reinstall of 3.2.0 works for you!

So after charging at a nearby EA DC fast charger.....successfully I might add, the plug and charge feature is awesome, works so far on EA, Tesla and EVgo. I unplugged and go in to make the short drive to my office when I got the dreaded, "Air Suspension Inactive" warning and limited speed to under 35 mph. I limped over to my office and parked, then reset the infotainment and the message went away. Anybody else experience this in their Gravity? I'm a little concerned about my commute home as it's on Los Angeles freeways for 30+ miles.

. . . the plug and charge feature is awesome, works so far on EA, Tesla and EVgo.

So Lucid has now added EVgo to the plug-and-charge roster?

I think one other owner has as well, and also went away. I think it may be over sensitive diagnostics.

Not sure.....I had setup plug-and-charge for my R1T on EVgo in the past. I went to pick up some food at a local restaurant located in a mall where there are a few EVgo chargers scattered around the parking lots. Only open spot was an EVgo fast charger with a native NACS cable, so even at about 50% battery, I thought why not? Plugged in and it just worked!
