    "Engineering Explained" Takes Another Swipe at Lucid

    After buying back Jason Fenske's Lucid Air after a year of software issues (some self-induced), Lucid gave him a loaner Gravity to use through the end of 2026 until the Rivian R2 he ordered was delivered. Unfortunately, that Gravity, too, was plagued with many of the software gremlins we early...

    Lucid in Vancouver?

    We just spent three days in Vancouver and saw the place crawling with Teslas, mostly Model 3's. We would often count 10 or more in a single block of downtown traffic. Also saw a few Ioniq 5's, several Mustang Mach-E's, a couple of MB EQS'd, and a couple of VW ID.4's. But not a Lucid in sight...

    Gravity GT-S

    So, it seems Lucid is continuing production of the Gravity Dream Edition (with a few minor option changes) under the "GT-S" moniker. This is analogous to what they did with the Air. After Dream Edition production ceased, they produced a GT Performance version for about a year. However, that...

    Comparing Air Software to Gravity Software

    Make no mistake, the Gravity UX/UI is a significant step-up from the Air's quite decent set up in terms of screen layout and usability. However, there are three areas in which I find the Air's UI considerably better. 1. Font Size -- Some of the fonts in the Air are larger and therefore more...

    Air Massage Feature Malfunctioning

    The massage function on the driver side of our Air has begun to malfunction. It will begin a massage and show the moving orange dots that indicate the massage is underway. But after less than a minute, the massage stops. The orange dots gray out but continue to display massage motion. We’re...

    Where is "Throttle House"?

    "Throttle House" released a review of the BMW Neue Klasse iX3 yesterday. The last time they reviewed the Gravity was a pre-production version in November 2023. They had been fascinated by the Lucid Air which they reviewed several times and were looking forward to a full driving review of the...

    The State of Charging on a Gravity Road Trip

    What follows is a highly-anecdotal story that is of little value other than conveying the general mix of charging confidence and anxiety this long-time EV owner still experiences when road tripping. So read further only if you're interested (or maybe a bit bored): We owned Teslas from 2015 to...

    The Long Goodbye

    From the moment I was told about Lucid in 2016 I became intrigued. The Air prototype broke so many automotive molds at once, and the credentials of the engineering team were so impressive, that I began following everything I could find about the company. When reservations opened, I was near the...

    Navigation System Question

    We're taking a fishing trip in a couple of weeks where one of the addresses is just GPS coordinates. Does anyone know how to put the "degree" symbol into the location address on the Gravity?

    Gravity Remote Start -- Another Software Bust

    Today I got this email from Lucid: I didn't know what software update 2.5.1 they were referring to, as our Gravities are running 3.5.1. So I checked my app software and found it was running 2.14.1 which, according to this email, should work with this update. Just to be sure, I checked the...

    Effect of Tire/Wheel Choice on Gravity Range

    For a Gravity Dream Edition, Lucid claims a 370-mile EPA rating for both the mid-size and largest wheel options. I have never believed that and was waiting for our newer Gravity to cross the 2,000-mile mark to do a comparison test between our two Dream Editions. That day was today. The Cars...

    Is this for real?

    This video claims that Ford is now including access to the frunk of the Mach E as part of an extra-cost option package: Apparently Ford has now removed the frunk liner from the base trim level of the 2026 model and sealed the hood. If you want access to the frunk (with a liner installed) it...

    Issues Gravity Software Updates Haven't Yet Fixed

    Near the end of our older Gravity's recent stay at the Service Center, the car finally coughed up the Vibe LED light strip malfunction I had experienced several times: the first 18 inches of the passenger-side dashboard strip shining bright white at maximum intensity while the car was in...

    Lucid Assistant in the Gravity

    Does anyone know why Lucid Assistant voice activation in the Gravity will neither enter a navigation address nor make a music selection? Lucid Assistant does both these things in our Air and has since we first got it four years ago. In our Air, if we're on the road and someone wants to stop...

    Our Third Gravity DE . . . Are They Getting Better?

    We had initially ordered two Gravity Dream Editions. Now, due to one of them being wrecked, we just took delivery of a third one. These cars were built at almost exactly three-month intervals, with deliveries on June 30, September 29, and December 24. So, are there signs that early production...

    Gravity Reset Charge Limit on Its Own

    When I saw a new thread about the Gravity 3.3.22 update I opened the mobile app to see if we had an update notice. What I instead found was that the car had reset the charge limit on its own and that the car had not charged after we parked it and plugged in last evening. Unless we raise the...

    InsideEVs Breakthrough Awards Takes a Pass on the Gravity

    Once again, the Gravity's chances to win a significant automotive award took a nosedive because of a plethora of mostly software problems. While InsideEVs liked the potential of the car, they found it to be not yet fully baked and plagued by the issues so many of us have reported here on the forum:

    Kyle Conner Finally Reports on Long-Term Driving of a Gravity

    As expected, he absolutely loves the Gravity as a driving machine and passenger conveyance but was tormented by its software:

    Corrupted Driver Profile on Gravity

    The driver profile on one of our Gravities has become corrupted. When on that profile, the audio system becomes inaccessible: no audio menu, no music playing, no way to switch sources, etc. The profile management menu in Settings only allows the deletion of secondary profiles. I called Lucid...

    The Air, the Gravity . . . and what comes next

    In deciding to launch a car company into a world where there was no shortage of product, Atieva enlisted a man, Peter Rawlinson, who understood that it was a pointless exercise unless this new car could offer a combination of power, handling, efficiency, and space utilization that no one else...
