Update... just completed a 2500 mile road trip with the Starlink mounted in the side window at about 45 degrees as shown above. Results were positive, but not perfect. Speedtest was usually in the 45 Mbps area. Good, but still degraded from perfect. 45 is plenty for all practical needs...

Just returned from another 2500 mile road trip. Had one instance where the ACC failed with a "sensors blocked" error that stayed on for an hour. I assume it was because I was driving directly into the bright sunrise. But then when I pulled off and did the first DCFC of the day (and cleared...

Cool. Unfortunately this is another great example of the hit&miss nature of Lucid, and the Gravity in particular. There's a long list of issues that affect many, but not all. It's usually not just something that fails on one or two cars (which we'd write off as just normal, random component...

Seeing all the issues people had with Homelink, I never even bothered trying to set it up in the Gravity. Didn't need yet another software annoyance when this still works perfectly fine...

I think these are more about how they feel about the workers and effort they put in, which is usually solid. Getting the car in, and how long the car has to sit there until they can finally get to it is often a different matter.

Never thought of that. Makes sense. The other difference with EVs is that friction brakes are *usually* just used for the last few MPH. That doesn't mean they don't still need to work well, of course, but if they do get weak, the risk is much lower than it is with an ICE.

Thanks. Pretty minimal. I replace the fob battery many times per year anyway. 😅 Always nice to have them check everything, but at this point I suspect they're HAPPY to have people not call for service appointments.

I'm just living with my minor annoyances (slow fob, window not always closing on the first attempt, etc). I'd like to get a replacement fob but PAAK could end up arriving before I could even get into service. What annual service needs to be done? Shouldn't be much, it's an EV. Tires are...

I'd have preferred a solid roof too. I love a lot of things about my Gravity but the glass extending up higher than normal is not one of them. Not only does it make a windshield replacement extremely expensive and hard to get as discussed, I hate the way it lets sunlight in above the visors...

I'd be a little surprised if anyone even makes a non-OEM for the Gravity.

Most of my miles are highway, and Colorado is horrible for rocks kicking up (and road maintenance in general). Our previous cars have gotten hit at least a dozen times in the last decade, half of those resulting in cracks needing new windshields. But those were like $1000 windshields, not...

Pet peeve rant here. I wish people would use a pertinent title for threads that mention the actual topic. It wouldn't be that hard to just type "Right to Repair" as the subject line for this one. And it's just one of dozens of examples of clickbait titles. 😣

Ok, now it's making more sense. Since it's plugged in it's not drawing anything from the battery. All line power. Which it why the car display is showing 0w so often... It's only drawing power when the compressor cycles on. Only remaining question is why it's not charging the battery when it's...

Could be. The app says "DC input" which would seem like it means the entire DC input, but maybe it is just the input to the fridge itself and not what's going to charge the battery simultaneously. Edit: I just noticed the "solely battery input power" note. So that explains it. It's the unit...

I'm on a road trip and using my new BougeRV 21qt refrigerator. It works great, but one odd thing. When plugged into either the 2nd row 120v outlet or the cargo area outlet, the car shows it drawing 153w (it's charging the fridge's onboard battery too). But the BougeRV app says it's pulling...

Yep. That's the way I described it in another thread... Lucid is not a nationwide brand, it's a "within range of a service center" brand. I wouldn't want to be hundreds of miles from the nearest Lucid service center. Even though they pick up and drop off the vehicle for you, that takes time out...

It's painful reading this. So sorry to hear. We spend a fortune for these vehicles, expecting them be the best vehicle we've ever owned, only for it to me a nightmare. We know Lucid is a fledgling automaker living on the edge, so we expect some growing pains and know we have to give them a...

Thanks. I did get a notification via the app that said the liftgate was open. But it was at the time that I thought he was out there so I assumed it was him. Didn't dawn on me until later that of course it wasn't just normal liftgate opening, otherwise I'd get that message every time. I...

Our liftgate hatch has been working pretty well, other that having a loud click when it unlatches. Almost sounds like the latch is catching on that metal plate. But we did have an incident a few weeks ago on a road trip where it stayed open after my partner went out to the hotel parking lot to...

I didn't think to make sure my driver profile was loading too. Sometimes it doesn't, which could mean it was in the guest profile and that setting many not be off there. I don't think that was the case though, as a couple of other things are different too when that happens, like the seats...
