    Key Fob battery drainage

    Ah, more fob problems. The worst failure point on this car. I'm installing new batteries monthly. No noticeable improvement on mine. Lucid service gave me the oft-repeated "it's normal for the car to take up to 40 seconds to wake up and see the fob" response. Sure, that's normal.

    "Engineering Explained" Takes Another Swipe at Lucid

    I like a stout front end (like the Gravity), and hate the low slopes (like Tesla). But yeah, I never quite got the monkey butt imprints that BMW uses. I don't hate it, but it just looks kinda unnecessary.

    Cross Country Trip-Dreams & Nightmares?

    We just just completed a 2-week 3400 mile road trip. For the most part the car was quite dependable, other than the ever-present 5-20 second fob delays trying to unlock it. For a day and half, I kept getting a low tire pressure warning. Even though the tire pressures displayed a consistent...

    "Engineering Explained" Takes Another Swipe at Lucid

    Half of this video was complaints on things he doesn't like. With EVs in particular, it's about picking cars with the least downsides/issues. It's still early in the game with relatively few choices compared to ICE.

    Starlink Mount

    Yeah, frustrating that it won't work through the roof glass like it does on our Macan EV. So simple, and safe. With the roof glass reaching even further back in the Gravity it would be totally out of the way, and perfect. But alas. I have the same problem at most hotels. We stay at a lot of...

    Starlink Mount

    I tried it on the liftgate window but couldn't get a signal. Not sure if that glass is also coated, or the ice melt wires interfere. I remember trying it twice with no success. Plus, it really blocks the (already bad) view out the back which I wasn't comfortable with even if it did work...

    Starlink Mount

    Only briefly. I ordered both the suction cups and the magnet feet (it was only $10 more to get the combo, although the metal disks cost extra). At first I tried the suction cups, which are high quality and strong. But I only tried it around the neighborhood and a few miles on the interstate...

    Starlink Mount

    Got back this week from a 3400 mile road trip (CO-TX-MS-TN) with the dish frequently mounted on the roof (outside). Worked like a champ. Very few signal drop-outs. I didn't have it mounted every day, but probably for 2000 miles of it. Only noticed 2 short drop-outs. Definitely better than...

    WINDSHIELD REFLECTIONS ( Dash & HUD)

    Just my guess, but I would be very surprised if anything gets done to fix/replace the glare issue on existing cars. That's a physical problem with the HUD/dash, which would take much more effort and cost than pushing out software updates to address some of the simpler HUD issues. Lucid is...

    "Engineering Explained" Takes Another Swipe at Lucid

    That's a good characterization of their execution on this one (and sadly, pretty much as a company on the whole so far).

    "Engineering Explained" Takes Another Swipe at Lucid

    Their intention is to get everyone a good Gravity, of course, but for this scenario I'd think they'd have made extra sure. The alternative thought is even worse... that they're not even capable of telling if it's a good one or not. 😬

    "Engineering Explained" Takes Another Swipe at Lucid

    You'd think Lucid would have made sure they gave him a GOOD Gravity after the Air failure. Seems like the whole point of loaning him a Gravity for a year would be to prove his Air was just a rare lemon and that Lucid was still worthy. But to then turn around and give him a lemon Gravity is...

    WINDSHIELD REFLECTIONS ( Dash & HUD)

    Ah, the sun glare issue. So many different descriptions. :cool:

    Update regarding Phone as a Key availability for Gravity owners

    Yes, that's why I relayed my interaction with Lucid in the post above. Maybe you didn't see it. They've stopped for many. They haven't stopped for others. Which is presumably why 3 straight updates continue to say they're attempting another fob improvement.

    Update regarding Phone as a Key availability for Gravity owners

    That's what I'm afraid of too, although since they can't seem to figure out what's even causing the fob delays, who knows. All I can do it hope there's something different with PAAK.

    Update regarding Phone as a Key availability for Gravity owners

    Not in person yet. I submitted a request to Customer Care a month ago, with extensive detail. Finally got a response. They assigned it to tech that txt'd me this week, asking if I was still experiencing the problem. (Sounded like a new guy, maybe?) Said he'd check with his foreman. He was...

    WINDSHIELD REFLECTIONS ( Dash & HUD)

    Is this the reflection of the HUD box screen that tends to have some lingering glow to it that fades when you go from sun to dark (like entering a parking garage)? I notice that in mine. Takes a couple of seconds for the system to detect and adjust the brightness to the dark outside...

    Update regarding Phone as a Key availability for Gravity owners

    That's been in the works for a while now. Moving at Lucid time. 😅

    Is there anyone who likes the GRAVITY GRAND TOURING H.U.D..

    Our Porsche Macan EV HUD works perfectly, even with polarized sunglasses. That was our first car with HUD, so that was my expectation for the Gravity. Boy was that a letdown. But with a lot of compromises, it's usable now.
