Can we make a software wish list of what we feel we need and what we want in future updates for the Gravity.
And rank them.
 
There are a couple of active variants that have a lot of good ideas…

Thread '[Suggestions] Software features from other brands that make sense'

Having owned a couple of other brands over the years, here are some relatively quiet but appreciated software-related behaviors and features that I miss from other makes and models that really helped me feel that "last mile" of polish and execution. I will readily admit that some of these vehicle behaviors are vestigially tied to ICE architectures where 12V battery drain is a concern and may not make technical sense on an EV platform but are nonetheless ingrained as "nice" or "expected" after years of vehicle ownership.

While there are several wishlist threads out there, the aim of this...

Thread 'What's your wish list for Lucid Gravity'

1- Phone as key
2- Automatic screen dimming
3- Better/faster phone app connection to Gravity (it takes a very very long time for gravity to wake up in order to connect to phone app)
4- Auto window rollup when car is automatically locked (when walking away and auto locked)

We sure can! But Lucid has their own internal list, which incorporates strategy and priorities we're not aware of as outsiders.
Mine would be:

1) PAAK
2) Point-to-Point eyes-on self driving
 
Valet mode.
Would prevent valet from opening glove compartment and frunk, using or viewing settings, using media. Allowing just the necessary for parking the car

And phone/watch as key, trunk opening by sliding feet underneath, and self parking that actually works

They could do it with the UWB tech installed in the car. It’s precise enough to be programmed that when you’re standing within a certain distance at the rear of the car it could open the trunk.

Likely so. How did they missed this on the Gravity? Cost must be minimal.
I believe that every car I had for more than a decade had this feature, mostly BMWs but also an Audi and a Lexus.

I've heard of that (was it on a Tesla?), but think it would cause a lot of unwanted openings for me - until I learned to be careful not to stand near the front or rear of the car.

Exactly what Tesla implemented in the Model X (RIP)

Let's add an exterior button to open the frunk while we're at it.

Yeah, I agree with this. Our garage is tight and I walk behind the car with no intention of opening the rear hatch. The waving the foot under the car must be a trigger mechanism as otherwise there will be too many unintended openings.
 
Gravity Cruise control resume feature that remembers your previously set speed for as long as the car is on instead of the current 10 seconds.
 
In addition to what’s already been mentioned, including PAAK:

1. Quieter AC
2. Liveview in the vehicle
3. More functionality on Spotify app (ability to see the album the song playing belongs to (my Volvo does this))
4. Fixing homelink custom bottom on steering wheel so that garage door consistently opens with one press
5. More options and flexibility for setting custom buttons
6. Ability to stream Netflix, Apple TV, etc. on front and back screens
7. Ability to see traffic on bottom screen when driving (similar to Tesla). So much safer to be able to see what’s around you when on the screen
8. Apple Music app and the ability to streak Dolby Atmos
 
My wish list:
  1. PaaK
  2. HUD stabilization
  3. Integrated SiriusXM app control
  4. Send address to car from mobile app
  5. Automatic screen dimming
  6. Geofenced automatic locking and unlocking
  7. Dash cam
  8. Automatic turn signal shut-off
  9. Curb rash warning

#3 is a good one. Forgot the app didnt have this common feature. So useful.

You can currently send addresses from your phone, not just from the Lucid app but also from Google maps, etc

Right... you had posted that in the other wish list thread too, but the forum wouldn't let me edit my post. And now I cannot edit this one, so history is doomed to repeat.
 
PAAK
Streaming Video on both screens.
Auto screen dim

Maybe in a Holiday update like that other EV brand 🤔
 
Would love a live weather radar overlay on the navigation map. A few years ago I suggested this to Tesla when I had my Model S and they did it. Extremely helpful when driving in or trying to avoid bad weather. Sometimes I use one of the radar apps in CarPlay, but it's not as good or as smooth.
