Lately it seems like every time I back into a charging spot, the car thinks there's an obstruction in the way (when there isn't) and slams on the brakes. Really annoying. And I can't find a way to turn it off permanently. I assume it's the rear pedestrian auto-brake, which turns back on every...

While true that 450 is not realistic (even for city driving), that's often true for most other EVs too. As such, I'd have no problem with them advertising it when others get to advertise their usually inflated EPA range too. Plus there's always the "up to" qualifier that's commonly used in...

Shouldn't have much impact. A typical fridge like that usually doesn't use more than 60w, and only part time. That's not even 1 kWh/day.

They probably could use an "Our software has gotten a lot better than the mess it was 9 months ago!" campaign. That's usually the first question I get asked when posting about Lucid on social media, and the current reputation they've gotten from the Gravity launch that's still dragging them...

Yes, but there's a big gap between mass marketing and targeted marketing for a relatively small market. The big Super Bowl ad she spearheaded, for instance, would be overkill for Lucid. I'm sure she's capable of other types of marketing, of course, but Lucid needs way more volume and the...

That's good and fine but you have to have something to mass market first. The Air and Gravity aren't exactly mass market vehicles at these luxury price points. And their production capacity, sales capacity, and especially service capacity are still pretty small. And the more affordable...

Mine is doing it too. Just from the car's native Spotify app tho. Works fine through Android Auto.

That's why I asked for someone who's more familiar with Tesla Destination chargers to chime in. I know it's often the case at hotels that have Tesla Destination chargers, but I don't know if it's the same for Tesla Wall chargers for home. They look like the same hardware but maybe they're...

Here's a pic I took of a Tesla wall charger that DOES work. The ones that don't work just have an empty holster hole instead. I had to look for the difference on a recent trip. The Peppermill Hotel Casino in Reno has 6 of the old ones and 4 of the new ones, and I figured out I had to stick to...

The Gravity does not work with the older Tesla Destination wall chargers. (Lots of EVs don't, IIRC.) Only the newer ones that have the built-in adapter. You can fool the old ones with a TeslaTap adapter though (adding the reverse adapter to it to convert back to NACS), which I had to do on a...

The only other HUD I've ever used is in our 2025 Porsche Macan EV. It's dead solid perfect. Love it. And it's the main reason I opted to get the HUD in the Gravity. It's perfectly aligned, bright, clear, and I had no problem seeing it with my polarized prescription sunglasses. At first the...

3.6.4 didn't seem to have any impact on my chronic fob delays. 3.6.3 seemed to help a little at first but after a few days it reverted right back to the usual delays. I'm pursuing a fob replacement now, but if they can't program it remotely and just mail it to me, or do it with a mobile...

That part (inconsistent regen around 100%) is annoying and a bit dangerous when you forget about it or just aren't sure just when it's gonna happen or not. Fortunately it's not too often that I charge to 100%. Just road trips. Although we do road trip often.

I was 16 a long time ago too (70's), before you had to press the brake pedal in an automatic in order to shift it into gear. I think it was the 80's where BTSI systems became common, which solved that conundrum. I've been driving for so long that pressing down is just the natural reaction to...

Ah, yes, on that I totally agree. Same with the Gravity, where it won't remember CREEP. It's annoying to have to change that setting every time I get in the car. Fortunately it's on the first screen when the car powers up, so we don't have to go menus deep. But still, it's clearly an...

Yep. Some comments seem to suggest they think 1PD means regen on. That's not the case. That impacts use of the accelerator pedal but it's not when determines whether you drive it with just 1 pedal or 2. 1PD (at least for the Gravity) means HOLD instead of CREEP. And it only impacts that...

I agree on the need for a medium regen setting, but to me that would be below both Standard and High on the Gravity. I find Standard to be very strong on the Gravity, like an 8. With High maybe a 9. I can barely feel any difference between them. To the point where even just a slight lift on...

I don't think that's true. There's no reason the brake pedal can't use just as much regen as the accelerator pedal. In blended braking (which most manufacturers of EVs have), the brake pedal simply applies more regen slowing the harder you press up to the point where it's max'd out and you're...

Not sure what you mean by "safety concern if someone can do like regen + creep + whatever else has been tossed around". Safety concern how? Like the same person driving multiple cars that act differently? That's actually one of the reasons I prefer regen + creep, when we had one EV and one...

If you do like it off (you'll lose a lot of efficiency) part of the time, you can program the joker button on the steering wheel to rotate Regen between STANDARD, HIGH, and OFF.
