I’ve had both the pilot panel and the main screen where nav/audio etc (on the right side) switch to the bear logo for a brief second sometimes when I first switch the UI. Example: car starts up on Nav and I select climate control, black screen with bear pops up and then goes away. But nothing like what you described.
Mines been really stable the last 2 to 3 releases, everything just works as intended. I don't use CarPlay so maybe that's the outlier but I do have CarPlay connected for calls basically. I've also noticed significant improvement on the key with this update, 100% success (touch wood). I did have one issue on a trip with hand-free where every 10 mins or so it would just disable with "Sensors Blocked" message and then 5 or 10 mins later the error would clear but it was only on one trip and hands-free has been fine on all my other trips.
I can empathize with this a lot. Ever since our Land Rover left us stranded on a remote highway for 12 hours, I’ve had fears of being stranded. I signed up for AAA the next day after that happened. Just have to roll the dice and enjoy the vehicle. I really think a lot of the complaints are a small sampling and the vast majority of us enjoy error free driving with our Lucid’s.
About that error free driving…
Yes, you should be good to go from a software standpoint. The latest update (3.6.0) has fixed most of the problems (honestly, I can't really think of any off the top of my head that still remain). I don't foresee you having any of the above mentioned major issues. Even if you were have something like an occasional keyfob quirk, it's really no big deal as you can just pull out your phone and unlock the doors and start the car now that they've baked in reliable redundancies.
I think you'll be fine. The couple of early software issues I've had appear to be completely resolved. It's been a great car.
Thanks for the replies, this is great to hear. I would love to hear more good reports!
Functions fine for us. One caveat: my mobile app has not working since delivery and I have a mobile service appointment scheduled for it as well as customer service assuring me the next update “within a few weeks” should fix the error. They let me know I’m not the only one.
You will be fine. There are still some teething issues but nothing that will drive you crazy, imho.
It's a great driving experience, like a sportscar that you can fit all your stuff in really. It's stupid quick, handles way better than most SUVs, and isn't hungry for charging all the time.
Window regulators more reliable now!
Not so sure about that. I just got my car back from service and one of the regulators was just replaced (again) and it still has the same issue. I’m told it’s actually some sort of software issue (maybe). My other window still has an issue after two new regulators. Thankfully, they both work (eventually) but they go up vs down and vice versa…so…regulators do not seem to have improved (YMMV).
It’s MUCH better now, to be fair! The windows go up and down now. Much better than driving around with cardboard over my window back in the day!
It's definitely improved a lot, but how much seems to vary by vehicle. I still get the occasional window bug not wanting to close (goes up then back down). I still get a random phantom error message pop up on the screen once a month or so. My internet connectivity still goes out occasionally close to home (leaving me without audio, although Android Auto often saves that through the phone). Most of all, my fob routinely is 5-20 seconds late to open the doors, leaving me just standing there waiting for it to respond. It always does, eventually, within 20 seconds. Never gotten locked out of the car and doubt I even will. And there's only some of us that have that issue now. But it's still hanging about for some.
Mine still refuses to go all the way up at times on first attempt. Usually does after 2-3 attempts. Or if I open the door to raise it then just close the door.It’s MUCH better now, to be fair! The windows go up and down now. Much better than driving around with cardboard over my window back in the day!
