Not in our car's. It's in the shop right now, in part because nothing about the nav system has worked since we took delivery. (Plug-and-charge worked seamlessly, though, at the several Superchargers we tried out.)

Lucid can charge at Tesla Superchargers either of two ways: 1. Simple, quick plug-and-charge by putting a charge card in your "Lucid wallet" in your Lucid account. No need to access either the Lucid or Tesla app to initiate a charge. However, this does not yet give you the charge fee...

I do PPF our better cars because, as I've mentioned before, we live near sand quarries and often get caught in convoys of dump trucks that spray sand like hair spray. Our Air paint still looks brand new, but our windshield looks like it's been through a sandblaster when the sun hits it a...

"Thought it absolutely destroyed" the paint finish on a new Rivian? Really? We've been putting our Honda Odyssey through automatic carwashes for eight years with neither PPF nor ceramic coating on it. We don't even bother with keeping it waxed at this point. The paint has held up just fine...

Well, according to our satellite map, we've been driving in the ocean just off the west coast of Africa.

We got the first of the work authorizations on our Gravity from the Service Center this morning. It contained this item: "The driver's side hush panel may interfere with the brake pedal, preventing it from fully returning to the resting position. This can result in the brake system remaining...

I don't know if this might be related, but . . . We took a recent short road trip in our Gravity. Since our navigation and GPS system is not working in the car we tried to use the navigation system on my partner's Google phone. (Since CarPlay is not yet active in the Gravity, I didn't try to...

Same with our Air and going to be the same with our Gravity (although I did put PPF on both). A lot of the trashing of automatic carwashes you see on the internet is from people who own car detailing services or people just parroting what they've read from such sources. The newer carwashes use...

I know that, and I always very much appreciate your views. Your post just reminded me that it might be time for me to put a little more perspective back into my posts.

It is. On the couple of occasions we've taken our car to a Service Center for "while you wait" non-warranty service, they've given us another Air to use locally if we don't want to sit in the waiting room. On the more frequent occasions when Lucid has transported the car across the state to...

I actually have a pretty high threshold for bother, which is why I keep coming back for more when it comes to Lucid. But since the day of delivery we have had white ghosts dancing across the windshield, a non-functioning GPS system, no navigation system or satellite maps, no GPS-dependent ADAS...

I'd just like to remind everyone that this thread is titled "Gravity Bugs/Issues". It's not the entire forum but rather a distillation specifically to focus on problems with the Gravity. The larger forum is chock full of praise for the Gravity, a fair bit of it from me. Between two Lucid Air...

You also won't make any profits at higher sales volumes if warranty costs continue to eat you alive. I don't worry about large upfront capital expenditure for future expansion. I do worry about a car aimed at a larger market than the Air having anything like the warranty costs of the Air.

I'd be a happy camper if Lucid tried to follow the Porsche model of being a mid-volume manufacturer of premium, superbly-engineered vehicles with a sport-inspired heritage. But the business plan -- and the capital they've already spent to build manufacturing capacity -- indicates an intent to...

I am convinced most of these issues will be resolved in the next 12 months or so -- with both new Gravities being delivered without these issues and earlier-production cars being satisfactorily fixed. It's the same trajectory Lucid and early owners traveled with the Air. The first 10 months...

That's my own viewpoint as a driving enthusiast. It's also my nightmare as a Lucid stockholder. There simply aren't enough buyers with this perspective to make Lucid the high-volume brand it has invested in the physical plant to become. (And it's happening a lot more than once every few...

This will work for some people, especially early-adopters, car nuts, and at least some of the people who follow this forum closely. But the workarounds themselves seem to be moving targets with Lucid. The original workaround was to keep the key card as backup. Then several posters here...

Our dog would be fighting for that seat. I have avoided discussing your window issue with anyone while she's around.

Your mouth to God's ear . . . . I'm just hoping we have it back with enough issues fixed to start our September 9 road trip in it. As much as I still love our Air, the combination of the Gravity's charging speed and Tesla Superchargers would made the trip so much easier.

Some of the difference between the Air and the Gravity sound systems may come down to the greater interior volume of the Gravity which might make it easier to produce a larger sound stage. (Although the sound system in our Air Dream improved significantly with last year's OTA update, the audio...
