I have usually tried to schedule service close to end of warranty for same reason as OP. The SC may notice something wrong while doing service and get it repaired under warranty. They might get the car up on a lift and notice a coolant leak that you haven’t noticed. But then that is under a...

I think that is a current bet running on Kalshi Prediction Market. I think the odds are 40 they will and 60 they won’t. 😀

My Gravity is not my only car but my other is a 2+2 convertable which is not very useful for 3 plus people or hauling cargo. The lack of providing a loaner for non-warranty repair would not be a big issue if the average repair time was less than a week. But here in Houston the repair times are...

I still love my Gravity and would still probably recommend someone lease if a good deal is found. I would definitely not recommend someone buy a used one that is out of warranty or soon to be out of warranty. Even if you could justify possible high repair cost by knowing that you have saved...

I just did a test. I remained about 30 ft away from car, with car locked. I hit the frunk button and it opened without unlocking the car. Then when I get to about 5-8 foot away, the car unlocks. In all my instances of spontaneous trunk/frunk opening, it has happened at exact time of me...

I had thought about that but it is impossible to be sure. But in 30+ years of driving cars with fobs that have trunk release buttons on them, I never had similar issues. If it is the fob, then the fob needs to be redesigned. Also, it always happens at the exact time I get to car and it...

It is interesting that this feature has been available on Air for a few years but even though promised at launch, still has not come to Gravity. One major issue with Gravity is the horrible 360 overhead view in low light. It is particularly bad on the sides due to there being no side lighting...

Over the past 6 months or so I have had about 5 or 6 occasions in which I will walk up to car, it Auto Unlock’s due to sensing key but it also opens the trunk or frunk. Did this a couple days ago when it opened the frunk at first when I went to get in at the house and then a couple hours later...

Tesla and Rivian don’t have CarPlay but do have Apple Music App. I have a feeling that lack of Apple Music app in Lucid is much more on Lucid. I think Lucid has been so focused on fixing it’s basic software system that it is not putting any resources into adding new apps or other additional...

Yeah, I know a lot of people here don’t like traditional car dealerships but with a dealership model, it gives the customer choice on how your car is serviced. I bought my last Mercedes from one dealership due to it having the color/specs I wanted in stock and able to negotiate decent discount...

If lidar is so key to good ADAS, then why has Volvo abandoned it (for now). I have always wondered just how much Lucid actually uses the current lidar on their cars. I have a feeling it was more of a “lidar is getting cheaper so lets put one on our cars and hope we figure out how to optimize...

The new Range Rover EV has a 900mm fording depth.

And it is for this reason that I will run, not walk, away from Lucid as soon as my lease is up. Every luxury car I have owned (Mercedes, BMW, Audi) has provided free loaner car while in service, even when out of warranty. Oh, and they also usually had repairs done in less than a week. At...

If Car Play/Android Auto are working you could rely on that for navigation and music in the interim.

Surprised Lucid didn’t give you a boom box and paper map and send you on your way.
