    Car locked with child inside and would not unlock

    Gravity has NFC/UWB combo based on same system as in BMW. Gravity had significant key fob issues at launch and although significantly improved, still has some issues. Still waiting to see how PAAK via Apple Digital Key will work with Gravity but the extended delay in releasing PAAK makes me...

    Gravity Bugs / Issues

    I have 3 and 5. Also came out to garage once a week ago to find rear window down. Also, this past weekend we went to San Antonio for family graduation celebration. I parked the car in a garage but car would lock but not power down. Head lights stayed on, mirrors stayed out, dash stayed on...

    Should You Buy The 2026 Lucid Gravity (UsedCars TV Review)

    Of note - He really likes the software!! (Which to be fair, I really like as long it is working) So I guess this was not a very long term review, which would have given time for the software gremlins to pop up. He also implied that the frunk seat came included and when talking about things...

    Congress Wants You To Pay $130 A Year Just To Drive An Electric Car

    These fees (in principle) are designed to make up for the gas tax that we EV owners are not paying to support highway maintenance/construction. In principle, I am OK with paying our “fair share”. But in many EV unfriendly states like here in Texas, the yearly fee is above what I would have...

    Chinese Tires-- Anyone taking the risk?

    Go ahead. If you are planning to put them on your mother-in-laws car. 🤣

    Is Lucid styling the problem?

    Don’t dismiss BYD. I was in Jordan a couple months ago (left a couple days before Trump started his little war). Since Jordan is not oil rich, EVs are very popular and heavily supported. I saw tons of BYDs. Probably the most common new (less than 3 year old) car that I saw on the roads. The...

    Is Lucid styling the problem?

    I can only comment on Mercedes. They have a base Burmester (no extra cost) and then an upgraded 3D Burmester that is a $5K upgrade. To my ears, SSP is significantly better than the base Burmester and at least on par with the $5k upgraded Burmester. I agree that Lucid should be close to...

    Is Lucid styling the problem?

    I somewhat agree with most of your post except Audio System. I fine SSP better than the high option Burmester in my previous Mercedes. Traditional ICE luxury cars are still working to get Hands-free ADAS (BMW-Yes, Mercedes-No, Cadillac -Yes) as well as PAAK is not universally adopted yet. I...

    Is Lucid styling the problem?

    I spent 3 1/2 weeks in a loaner Mercedes GLS 450 that although solid and reliable, was boring. Drives like a truck, transmission was jerky, infotainment was a little hard to navigate. But it is solid and reliable, has excellent dealer and service network, and you will never worry about if my...

    Phoenix to Yellowstone

    Is there any reason you avoided using any Tesla SCs? Would have vastly improved your charging options and reliability issues.

    Those likely to buy Touring will be less likely to go big on options.

    The Long Goodbye

    I have a fully optioned Gravity (non DE) and do not have anywhere near the number of issues as HMP10. No, my GGT is not problem free but issues are more in the mildly irritating. I would be willing to bet that my experience is closer to the norm for most owners.

    Lucid Service Issues

    Another possible sign of possible progress in service. Follow up on my previous post above. Showed up for my noon appointment at Houston Service Center. When I showed up there was a rep waiting for me in lobby with clipboard with my name at the top. Took my keys and was repaired in less than...

    Tracking Down the Mystery of Air/Gravity Locking/Unlocking

    I use proximity lock/unlock on my Gravity. Since the December software update that had major fob/locking updates, the proximity unlock has been 100% reliable. The proximity lock functionality however has been about 97% functional. Just this morning I parked in a parking garage and started...

    Oh Lucid Nav

    Sorry, did not mean to get pissy. I guess your only option is to use Google Maps via CarPlay/AA. Only problem is that due to Apple constraints, CarPlay is locked to upper screen. Currently, Lucid is facing so many other software challenges right now, I do not see them spending much time on...

    Oh Lucid Nav

    The problem you are very much in the minority. ADAS is coming hard and all automakers are working overtime to keep up. This is the future you need to accept or crawl back in your cave.

    Oh Lucid Nav

    Agreed. HERE is optimized for ADAS, which is why so many automakers use it. Even Tesla does not use Google Maps to power FSD (uses Mapbox). So people need to stop screaming for Lucid to switch to Google Maps. If you want advanced ADAS improvements, we are going to need to deal with...

    Gravity slows down to exit ramp speed when I stay on the highway.

    Yes, apparently the current version of DDP can’t tell the difference between white regular speed limit signs and yellow exit speed limit signs. It treats the exit limit signs as if they were regular limit signs and immediately tries to reduce speed, quite often from 70+ down to 35. As stated...

    Lucid Service Issues

    Some possible good news. After my car spending 3 1/2 weeks at Houston Service center, a day after picking up I noticed sagging weather stip on rear door. Looks like it had been cut short and did not fit into upper trim piece that has hole to accept strip and keep from pulling away. Tried to...
