Gravity Bugs / Issues

[HC_79]

I have the same experience, even when I only check Tesla SCs, it shows EA. I'm sure a future update will fix.

-iThinkEV-

Are you applying it in the charger filter or the preferred charging network in the EV route planner? (2 different areas). I’ve just got Tesla selected as the preferred charging network only and it’s adds them automatically and pre-conditions the battery fine on road trips.

I’m only posting this because this is an issue I haven’t seen on this thread, and it’s a pretty big one.

I took delivery of a GDE (#19) a couple weeks ago and immediately had many of the same ‘minor’ issues many others have had with saving profiles, fobs intermittently working, etc. These things, while unacceptable for a premium vehicle, didn’t really bother me because the car is such a joy to drive.

About a week ago, I felt a slight bump/disengagement in the drivetrain after moving from a stop light. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) orange warning popped up and driving speed was immediately limited to 50 mph. ESC apparently impacts a host of other things so ‘brake hold unavailable’ and ‘Dreamdrive unavailable’ and some other orange warnings also popped up.

I called customer care and did a level 2 reset but that did not fix the issue. The car is now in the local service center and the shop foreman basically told me it would likely ‘take some time’ to be fixed due to parts shortages.

The car still has temp tags on it and I’ve put more miles on the loaner (Air Pure, great car by the way, 5 miles/kWh) than I have on my GDE.

Like everyone else who has had issues, I am disappointed in Lucid because I expected them to have learned something from problems with the Air, which I had leased from 2023-2025.

But, despite all these issues, I am actually more hopeful than angry because the driving dynamics on my GDE are still magnitudes better than anything else, even with the ESC failure. Also helps that the loaner is no slouch. Being an early adopter is always an adventure which I guess is the whole motivation for being an early adopter.

I hope Lucid can navigate the tough times and I can’t wait to get the car back.

Morning all,

I have had my Gravity GT for 2 weeks now and I have to honestly say that I have not had any issues yet. The unlocking and locking has happening without any glitches or waiting extra long occasionally as with my air. The car wakes up my I arrive in my mud room and then unlocks when I am a few feet from the car.

The driving has been smooth and without any quirks with auto lowering at exit or raising while about to drive.

I driven a mix of city and highway with great mileage on both (city is way better than my air). My sample size of mileage isn’t high but my real world range was 360 miles with medium tires and two row seats.

We get about 2.3 mi/kWh when driving on Alligator Alley -- a flat, straight, always warm interstate stretch through the Everglades. We are driving at an, er, unspecified speed, though.

This car is the Voice of the Temptress manifested in sheet metal and leather.

Is it possible to photograph the display of a working HUD? Is the output customizable?

So how do you differentiate V3, V4 etc?

I usually see locations with V4 stands, but V3 cabinets, referred to as V3.5. It's important to be able to differentiate 450V stations from 1000V stations if you own an 800-1000V car.

And I thought the Lucid nav system would only send you to superchargers you can use, so it differentiates them for you. Is this not correct?

The phone app will do this. It’s been perfect for most folks here. The in car navigation should not be trusted for this in any way. It’s often wildly off both from a location and capability perspective with respect to charging stations.

At the moment there is no V4, just V4 dispensers so any Tesla charger should be treated as a 500V. You’ll be able to use the filtering when the higher speed “true” V4’s come online

It’s nice to see positive reviews like this. Even though this thread is titled “Bugs/Issues”, it is important to get a balanced perspective from those who are having a mostly problem free experience. Hopefully we will have more of these posts as well as more “all my bugs have been fixed and car is now problem free” posts from those who have had initial issues.

We will need an OTA (or two) to squash the bugs as most are software. I am sure we will get there soon. I really hope we do before end of September because we all know there will probably be 2x the number of Gravity in the wild by the end of Q3.

I'm really surprised how long it's taking them. One of the sites that was supposed to be V4 here in San Diego opened already and it's a V3.5. 40 stalls though at least. And they just put in a V3.5 with 16 two blocks from me a couple months back that I almost never see in use so that'll be a nice one for top ups whenever my Gravity finally arrives (no EV right now in preparation for the Gravity).

It sounds like there were delays in the initial cabinet design & architecture. Tesla announced it around November last year and permitting can take anything from 1 to 2 years depending what needs to be done at a site etc. They have pilot sites in the permitting process so it’s just a waiting game. Hopefully some come online before year end.

The good thing with Tesla though is once the permitting is approved they're typically VERY quick to deploy a site.

I was just surprised to see the one near me get built anyway as a v3.5 instead of the V4 that was planned. There was another smaller planned V4 (16 stalls) that went forward as a 3.5 too but as this was supposed to be a huge 40 stall location I thought it might wait for actual V4 cabinets but it opened with the V3 cabs.

I have had DE # 100 (was a nice surprise!) since Aug 23rd, so just over 2 weeks. So far, I must say, no major issues to report of.
Unfortunately, I also DO have the "Blue oval" on the HUD. Replacement HUD has been ordered since delivery, no ETA yet.
The car drives fantastic. Other than the common software bugs that everyone has mentioned and is aware of, I have 1 that either I am doing something wrong, OR is specific to my vehicle ( or has been reported and I have missed it)-

- When I put the car in park after a drive to let a passenger get off, on the main/home screen where the Gravity vehicle is displayed, typically there would be 3 lock/unlock icons- 1 on the Frunk, 1 on the Trunk and then 1 around the roof top for the main door locks.

However, for some reason, this seems to be very random in my case. Several times I will pull up to a curb, put the car in park (which unlocks the doors due to that setting being enabled) BUT for some reason the trunk and Frunk unlock icons are not present. I don;t know how else to open the trunk except using the Fob. I drop off my kid to school in the morning and they have stuff in the trunk and each time when I pull up, they can get out easily due to the auto unlock but I cannot figure out how to open the trunk except for using the Fob which seems very silly. Of course, they can manually open the trunk from the outside, but clearly the inside trunk release should work.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions? I have tried resetting/restarting the car several times, to no avail. Is there another way to open the trunk?

Another unrelated question- for those of you who got PPF, did the installer cut around the frunk backlit LUCID lettering? I assume you cannot PPF over that since they are raised....

Does the Gravity store any video? I recently narrowly avoided getting t-boned in an intersection where I had a clear green light to proceed. As an afterthought I wanted to go to the video to see how close it actually was, only to realized there is no video! Is that right? My previous Tesla and Rivian had this, although you had to put a formatted USB storage device in the car to extract the video it was very handy for these kinds of situations. I guess I could buy a Dashcam but this car is so connected anyway I just assumed in would have that feature on board.

Not that exactly, but I had a trunk malfunction today. I had washed the car and opened the rear hatch to let water drain. When I went to close it, it would not respond: not to the button on the hatch, not to the key fob, and not to the button on the pilot screen. I finally just pushed it closed with my hand.

I did not reboot the car, but when I tried to open it a few minutes later to let the water drain again (this car drips water as long as after a wash as the Air) everything operated normally. Hatch opened and closed itself properly.

However, this left me a little unsettled, as we're leaving for a road trip tomorrow and plan to use the trunk. I'm leery of the frunk on the Gravity, as several people have reported hesitation in its operation, and we've had our Air frunk lid repaired several times (including having to have the car towed once because the malfunctioning lid put the car into limp mode). But at least if the hatch quits operating, I guess we can access the contents from inside the car.

I've also had the trunk malfunction after washing the car.
I think during the action of my wiping/drying the inner/underneath area of the lid, I'm pushing up on the trunk hinges.
Not a hard push, but enough that it seems to deactivate the auto-closing.

Manually closing it once reactivates the auto-close.

When I don't push up as I'm drying, the trunk closes fine.

Hope you have a wonderful experience with your Gravity @hmp10 !
Do share your updates and nice snapshots of the Gravity at various scenic spots (like your traveling gnome)

No. I was surprised they don't but there's no dashcam integrated in the software.

There may be some owners here that put in a dashcam for now until Lucid enables that feature. @hydbob did you? I think inside the glovebox there is a USB jack that may be used in the future for dash cam recording but I could be wrong.
