I want the Gravity also, not necessarily her. She’s happy with the Q7. She’s saying she will switch to make me happy once the software is up to what she considers a Q7 standard.
The fact that we're even talking about these things proves his (and by extension, his wife's) point. Normal users won't tolerate stuff like this, it doesn't matter that there's a simple solution. This is what made Apple a success in the mobile space, and that concept should be emulated if Lucid wants ordinary people to use their products.
It's great that you don't care about that but for context clearly more people do than those who don't. I've had at least 6 people in my car who have seen the quirks the software does and no matter how much you try to brush them off the response has been "I'm not paying a premium to put up with little quirks as you put it". If you don't think this will affect Lucid's brand reputation and sales then more fool you.
Yes, as days pass by users buying a car on how it drives vs how the software and autonomy in the car are increasing exponentially. Lucid needs to read the market for a great share.
but has those 6 people driven the car?
Lucid should not have cheapened out on the hardware and mess up the keyfob.....you would think they would have looked at why Tesla was so successful.....ITS THE SOFTWARE! And I'm not talikng about FSD, Tesla software just works and very very responsive. No lag or disconnects.
Tesla is the Cisco of the y2k. I’ve had both, Tesla is trash compared to Lucid. Tesla Infotainment is far ahead but their cars are horrible.
I am MOSTLY there too. My 2025 AGT is a sublime driving car, and the software is “good enough” that the driving experience far outweighs the occasional software glitch. That said, my entry (phone or FOB) have been largely perfect so one major reported annoyance that folks have has been of no consequence to me.
Yes, which is why I bought it and assume many others on the forum have, certainly those who did so in 22 and 23. My wife unfortunately prioritizes other features in a car (she’s terrified of the power it has in Sprint and doesn’t trust DDP at all). Thus, I’m hopeful UX 3.0 is a big leap ahead so that she, and the masses, can start experiencing the other Lucid attributes we all know and love.
) or a lot of the bells and whistles. But if one can’t rely on the vehicle to get you where you need to go, that is concerning to me.
I encountered a drive system fault early on during my ownership, but that has been the only significant issue with the car. While the software bugs can be somewhat frustrating at times, I was a victim of the early 1.0 days, and the software has come a long way since then. Compared to others in this forum, I haven’t had the same key issues, but I primarily use the mobile key, keeping the keycard as a backup in my wallet. However, I haven’t had to rely on the backup keycard for over a year now.
My Pure has never failed me.Okay, I am writing this from the perspective of a person who has never fit in “drivers’ cars” (I am 6’7” and built like a football lineman) and thus a vehicle I could fit in without pain and was reliable has been the main measure of “goodness” for me. Now don’t get me wrong, any vehicle I owned I enjoyed trying to drive it well, but I take what I can get.
@IRJ I can understand why your wife is concerned to some extent, the reports of the Airs having issues unlocking is something that undermines the basic use of a vehicle in my view. I don’t really care about the phone as key (I still like using my flip phone
I will say Lucid taking time to get the Gravity in a shape where one can “trust” that the vehicle works when one needs it, is something that I can be patient for (mind you I am waiting to buy one till after I can try it out a bunch).
To anyone willing to respond, has your Air experiences been that it is something you can rely on to get you places, or have there been instances where it just didn’t work as a car? (Drive system fault is one that stuck in my head from the forums)
