New Bugs Since 3.5.1

I got "Keyfob Not Detected" today, while sitting in the car with it running. A guy was waiting for my parking space and I think he got pissed cuz it looked like i was ignoring him lol sorry man Keyfob was not detected, couldn't move.

What's weird is Carplay and everything was running no problem. I don't understand how that's possible.

Can you checked the fob software has been updated?
 
The car only has 2000 miles on it it’s a brand new loaner
If the fob still has the older software that drains its battery, you need new fob software and a new battery. From my own experience, I would assume it hasn't been updated.

Well I only have the guest profile. Lucid delivered it half charged, dirty and sticky so I assume it doesn’t have the current fob software either then.

Spare batteries are in the sun visor, but the fob software update is more important.

Alright.

What’s the thing in the left of the display that always says “Zen”? Is that supposed to say the current Lucid vibe mode I’m on

Swipe left or right on it to scroll though the four options for that part of the display. Zen is just a blank screen.
 
Well, I should have knocked on wood or something because I got a new bug but I think I also solved it and it's sadly funny.

Went out yesterday and as soon as I started the Gravity I got the drive system warning again I had a while back. Went out and did my errands and the error came up every time I got back in the car. While out I also tried to use the windshield washer but I ran out of fluid (the reservoir is amazingly small for a car this size too!). I was also out at home so I ran over and got some earlier today. Drive warning was present on that drive too. Filled the fluid, went out again and now the message is gone.

Interestingly the last time I ran low on fluid I think was back in February around the same time I had the warning last and when it went in for service. They weren't able to find any reason for the error and it just went away then.

I know Lucid told me (and others) that the yellow drive system warning icon is a generic "check engine" type light and now I'm wondering if low washer fluid doesn't have any kind of specific warning and stupidly triggers the drive warning. I'll have to wait until I run low/out of fluid again to test to see if I can replicate it though. So, if true, it's a little funny but also pretty sad that that might be it. Going to be doing a fair bit of driving today and tomorrow so I'll have to see if the error comes back at all.

(And yes, I'm going to submit this all to the Lucid bug email just in case)
 
I’ve been out and made three separate stops and the error hasn’t come back yet. I kind of want to siphon out the washer fluid now just to see.

When I intentionally emptied my washer fluid so I could replace it with some that wouldn't freeze in a road trip up north, there was a message specific to the washer fluid being low. I don't recall the exact wording, but it did tell me specific that the washer fluid was low.
 
Like others, I've had some similar issues since 3.5.1 that seemed previously fixed. Three main areas:
  1. Screen/camera wonkiness. Generally a reboot seems to fix, but there doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to the occurrence. Agree with others that the car is more difficult to safely drive without the cameras. It's possible but much more difficult, the design of the pillars, windows, etc. clearly assumed full camera reliability.
  2. The key fob 🤦‍♂️ Every time I think it's become reliable it starts flaking out again. I've also had two buttons fall off, this is actually an improvement as it's made them much harder to press by accident in my pocket. I have noticed a bit of approach/unlock consistency by location, I may pull some GPS coordinates and file a bug report.
  3. This is either new or I never noticed it before because our delivery was in October and I haven't really had to use the AC until now. The rear activation is just utterly random. I will switch to Rear on the screen and it says its on, it's not, easily verifiably not. I tap just about control and it's like "oh! I'm supposed to be on!" and wakes up and starts going.
On the bright side CarPlay is at least as, if not more reliable than, our i4. I do find myself wishing i could navigate with something other than siri or touchscreen though.

Enjoying watching dynamic range go up as the weather warms. Might even get to 3!

Ok, good to know. I've refilled it a couple times now just based on the flow getting lower but this time it seemed to be totally out as nothing was coming out of the nozzles. I didn't get any other message about the fluid being low though.
 
I'm almost afraid to post this for fear of jinxing things. But for the past few days neither of our Gravities has manifested any of the software problems we had been having. The newer Gravity, which had become particularly bedeviled by problems in unlocking doors and in locking and powering down long after an exit, is now unlocking and locking upon approach and departure as it should.

We had a similar respite for a few days several weeks ago, and I thought Lucid had finally fixed something that did not require sending an update to the car. But the respite ended, and the bugs returned in full force.

I'm waiting anxiously to see what transpires this time. But meantime we're enjoying the considerable pleasures of driving and riding in these cars when they're working properly.
