I was followed by a BMW with a lighted grill the other night, and it felt like being stalked by a crazed lemur.

I'm certainly having my issues with Gravity software, but I think it slays Mercedes and BMW on styling with its clean lines and muscular restraint. And the over-the-top ambient lighting in the German EVs looks like a casino on a Margaritaville cruise ship -- or somewhere the gents go for...

BTW, I would be willing to post the photos I've taken of some of our issues. I would need some help from someone with the videos, as those taken on my iPhone can't download to the forum. But I'm not going to do this unless there is interest from others.

I don't know that I'm that patient. As @Chesapeake just pointed out, outside of software issues these cars are so damned good at everything else that most days it seems worth the effort to do what I can to get them sorted on the software front.

That's a shame if it's so, as I was hoping the ~30% more processing headroom Dlala says they're creating would sweep a lot of our issues away. If they don't arise from a common root cause, it may be a longer slog.

Agreed. But to those who think I'm exaggerating the problems we're seeing, I spent a while today at Lucid's request sending them what information I could about exactly when and what issues have occurred. So far I have sent them eight time-and-date-stamped photos and videos of different...

I'm a Luddite, so help me here. When Dlala said this, I figured it meant that all the systems were continuously running in the background whether they were being used or not. Is that not the case? I assume that Lucid is reading the logs when working on problems, as they have always asked me...

That could just as easily mean there aren't enough problem-free owners to keep such a thread alive. I'm curious why you think it must mean that the great majority of Gravity owners aren't having any problems. I did take a look at that thread, though. I was surprised to see that @gaskiller...

We never use any ADAS features or CarPlay (which we've loaded in only one Gravity). I'm not even sure the owner can turn off the cameras, nor would I be willing to as I view them as critical to the safety or driving and parking such a vehicle.

This is, of course, anecdotal. But a few weeks after 3.5.1 came out, the guy who does the "UpcurrentEVs" YouTube channel called us to meet him for dinner. He lives near us and has a Gravity he has been reviewing on his channel. He was preparing a video on software updates and wanted to...

I've stayed quiet about this thus far, because I don't want to get anyone in trouble. But I can say this much . . . I've dealt with Lucid mobile techs in three states due to issues we've had with our Lucids on road trips. All were extremely helpful, and all have been in their jobs since...

You are, of course, right that life is too short to worry too much about a car. Unfortunately, for those of us who take special pleasure in driving and could not care a whit about things such as ADAS, the allure of a Lucid when everything is working right is so incredibly strong that we are...

You know, there’s a way to call something out without insulting personal insinuations about someone. Just sayin’.

If some of our issues derive from too limited processing headroom to handle the configuration of any Gravity trim level, how exactly is that NOT symptomatic of a systemic issue? You're clearly irritated by my existence, but I never thought or pretended I'm the first person to hear from Emad...

It's good that you have had no problems, and I truly hope there are a lot more of you out there. But one of the things Dlala told me is that we are having so many problems because there was not enough processing headroom to run all the subsystems in a fully-optioned Dream Edition. That's one...

Same here in south Florida. We try to get all our chores and running around done early before the dreaded "swamp ass" sets in and sends us to the showers.

Turns out he is in Arizona working with the team on software for the production-intent Cosmos. He really did text me at 4:23 a.m. his time.

It's taken Lucid too long and cost them too much in reputation, but I now think Lucid has finally woken up to this. Despite the software horrors of our first 10 months with an Air, I kept buying their products (and still have the Air) for exactly the first set of factors you list. Outside of...

I know some think that Lucid's response to me is just PR management. However, as I've posted previously, I've been to this rodeo before with cars having a large amount of problems or even one serious and intractable problem. I actually had to get rid of two of them for that reason: a C5...

Well, actually it didn't. Some time ago a Lucid employee who saw my first post about it contacted me for more information about it, and it was referred to the HQ software team. I then heard from the Miami Service Manager who sent a mobile tech to get a video of the behavior. The problem was...
