Hi,
I recently bought a Lucid Gravity and it has been great so far except for a couple of things
1) the a/c is really loud almost as if something is blocking the vents. I've tried adjusting the vent but in vain
2) Auto high beam switches off only when the car goes to a well lit area but not when there is on-coming traffic

Has anybody faced similar issues? Thanks!

This one is a common complaint if the rear A/C is on as I understand it. I've never been bothered by it, but try toggling Sync to see if that helps.

Gravity has adaptive high beams. The whole thing doesn't switch off in oncoming traffic, just the segment(s) shining directly at other cars. You'll be able to see this especially if you're taking a curve with oncoming traffic, you should see chunks of light fading in and out as the other car passes. It's weird, but it seems to work quite well and keeps the sides of the road lit up so you can watch for critters jumping into the road.

Yes. After an HVAC-related software update, this is now the normal behavior in my experience if you're using Auto.

If you want it quieter, you can manually set the fan speed which quiets it down a lot. I typically first set Auto 72 sync, then nudge the fan speed to 3-5, which is still enough airflow for me. YMMV.
 
Thank you for the response , will try the reco on the HVAC, for the high beam though, the blue light indicator does nt switch to green when there is on coming traffic. Are you saying that , the light auto adjusts even when the blue light is on when there is oncoming traffic?
 
If you lower the AC blower below 4 the loud noise should go away. Also check the rear seats setup on the AC. If no one is in the rear seats you can lower the fan for the rear which will help lower the noise. As other have said the "auto" setting for the fans seems to consistently cause the loud fan noise.
 
The rear AC should only come on automatically if either it senses someone is sitting in a rear seat or if you have seat belt buckled (such as if you have a car seat installed in rear). Also, AC should only come on loud and heavy if interior is hot. If it is low 70s outside and interior is not that warm, AC should not blast, even if there is someone in rear.

Matrix headlights take a little getting used to but work pretty good. Just leave them on Auto and let them do their thing.
 
The loud HVAC is usually solved by not using "Auto" and while on the front Pilot Panel switching to the rear settings and lowering the fan speed below 4.

I fully agree that one should just set the high beams on "auto" and let the Matrix headlights sense cars in front or oncoming and automatically dim those pixels as they change following distance or drive on by you. Notice no one flashes their lights at you in frustration. The Lucid system is amazing at blocking out the blinding pixels on its Matrix headlights automatically.

Yes, Blue just means high beams are on, in either full on or matrix (selective shading) form.

Press forward slightly on the left stalk until you reach the first bump. That will be auto dim.
Press forward until you feel the click is always on.

We should encourage people to read the manual at least once, and watch the v3ux video for the 2.11 update

I absolutely LOVE the matrix headlights. My vision drops from good in daylight to fair at night (I just have to concentrate more), so I usually keep most of my driving in daylight hours. But the matrix headlights make it 3x better. Full-time brights except for just those spots where it detects headlights or taillights ahead. Works amazingly well.
 
Rear AC also comes on if you use creature mode. Once you stop creature mode, it will stay on unless you manually turn it off.

It also turns on if you remote activate the climate controls from the app (or through something like the Home Assistant integration).
