Gravity Bugs / Issues

I mean, are you kidding me? Just in time for the fob update (which I’ve yet to get), my trunk button just falls off the fob? It’s comical at this point. I couldn’t treat this thing ANY gentler than I already do given its sensitivity…ugh.

They need to just offer a DIY fob kit at this point.

I'm just waiting for the upcoming LEGO kit 🤣

They just need to deliver mobile key.
 
The DC to DC boost circuit requires both a switch and an inductor. The motor winding is an inductor, the inverter FETs are switches. Inductors have the property of wanting to maintain a constant current, the inductor will develop a high voltage to try and keep the current constant. Introduce a switch that changes the current and the inductor (motor winding) will develop a much higher voltage. Both the inverter and the motor in the rear drive unit are required to make a DC to DC boost circuit. Lucid can control the amount of voltage boost by the frequency/duty cycle used to switch the FETS. It also controls motor torque so that the car does not move while charging.

Got the orange turtle of death tonight, for the first time. I pulled over and did a hard reboot, but the turtle came back as soon as I put the car into drive. I reached my first destination, did a hard reboot, and left the car for about 15 minutes. The turtle came back a few minutes into my next drive. Reached my second destination, did a hard reboot, and left the car for about 2 hours. The turtle did not come back at all on the final leg of my trip, which was as long as the first two legs combined, although I did not have as much sustained driving at highway speeds, and I did not use DDP. A few notes:

- This is the first she’s been at highway speeds for any sustained period of time.
- This is the first she’s had DDP on for any sustained period of time.
- Lane departure avoidance also seemed to be wonky. I have it set to warn + correct, and she kept trying to push me back into the lane when I wasn’t even close to the line.

So....what now? Do I call the SC and report it, just to be safe? Can Lucid remotely pull error data from the car, so they can see what the car thought was going wrong? For example, what if it was a rear motor overheat, which didn’t repeat itself after the motor cooled down and outside temps cooled down?

Has anyone else had this happen and it turned out to be absolutely nothing and never happened again?

Call service and let Lucid investigate. Yes they can look at the logs and see things that we cannot.

You are the second poster to report this in the past few days. The other guy said it happened while the fob was in his pocket. Not a good sign.

Yes, mine was in my pocket. Which is empty other than that fob because that’s how careful I tried to be.

Also, mine has never been dropped, etc. It’s just absurd.

It will be interesting to see if Lucid accepts this as a warranty issue, as they should.

I will ask tomorrow as I am going to try to go to SC for fob update. I don’t expect they’ll have extra fobs lying around but they would be able to let me know how they’ll address it.

4 months in I’m still waiting for my second fob so yeah, good luck getting a spare one laying around

It works for proximity and to start car, and there are other ways to open the trunk, so I am more concerned about just knowing they’ll cover it. I fully believe they will.
 
Also, when folks get the orange turtle of death, what is the speed cap? Mine was capped at 52mph, which was much faster than I expected.

Wow, yet another RDU malfunction reported on this forum. And, of course the one in the car loaned to Tom Moloughney for his recent "State of Charge" range test. Interestingly, Moloughney did not see the speed limitation, as he was driving at 70mph. His symptoms were reduced range and the inability to charge at a Tesla Supercharger.

I think the nominal cap is 50mph if the speed limit kicks in. When our RDU malfunctioned, the speedo was showing a maximum indicated speed of 52mph. The RDU had to be replaced. Other failures reported on the forum have seen similar speed caps.
 
My Lucid Gravity Dream edition doesn’t recognize the key card and key fob. Vehicle would not go into drive or reverse. Needed a tow to Lucid service. Still in service for center console replacement. Love the vehicle but not happy to have it towed bc wouldn’t operate.

Wait - what’s an RDU and how do you know that’s what caused my orange turtle of death? Is an RDU failure the only thing that throws an orange turtle?
