    Gravity V3.5.7

    I'm confused. My 3.5.7 update took just 20 minutes, as the release notes said . . . and it was also said to be only a preparation for a coming update with the release notes saying nothing about any feature or functional improvements from this update. But I'm seeing posts here about things...

    Gravity V3.5.7

    We got an "Update Available" notice on the Glass Cockpit as we were driving home tonight. When I got home and checked, I found lengthy release notes on the Pilot Screen about all the changes, including CarPlay, Android Auto, remote start, wipers, voice assistant improvements, phone call...

    Engineering Explained joining the Lucid Lemon Club

    The lawyer who contacted me for an update on the lemon law claim that somehow got started without my filing or asking for it said he was a contract lawyer who was reviewing lemon law claims for Lucid. However, he had a desk at Lucid HQ. He said he was preparing cases to go before executives...

    Engineering Explained joining the Lucid Lemon Club

    The cars can drive you absolutely to distraction with issues, but once you've experienced the buttery power of the drivetrain, the chassis precision, the interior space and comfort, the vault-like structure, you are at a loss for finding its equal as a driving machine . . . at least when you...

    Engineering Explained joining the Lucid Lemon Club

    While we were on our recent road trip in the older Gravity, we left the other one parked in our garage and plugged in with the charge limit set to 70%. We got in it yesterday to find the charge had dropped to 63%. I was a bit surprised to see any phantom drain since it was plugged it. When I...

    What's reliable for one owner may not be reliable for another. @borski and I both have Gravity Dream Editions. His -- produced earlier than ours -- has been relatively problem-free. One of ours has had to have the HUD unit, the steering wheel, and the front drive unit replaced. And on the...

    Engineering Explained joining the Lucid Lemon Club

    That's a great story that could well be true. However, I read a few months back that Rolls Royce has actually reduced some of the sound deadening in their cars because too much silence while in motion was disorienting. Maybe it's kind of like being on ship where you can get more seasick if...

    Engineering Explained joining the Lucid Lemon Club

    Consumer Reports and Edmunds also buy the cars they review. Does that mean they should not report to their audience any issues they encounter? And Kyle Conner has talked quite a bit in his videos of the issues he's had with the Rivian he bought for a personal car. Should he have brought that...

    Engineering Explained joining the Lucid Lemon Club

    Why did Kyle Conner post videos about all the trouble he was having with Gravity software? Why did Tom Moloughney post a video about a failed range test with the Gravity? Why have Edmunds and Consumer Reports publicly discussed their software issues with the Air and the Gravity? This is what...

    The State of Charging on a Gravity Road Trip

    We've used the EA chargers in Ellenton before, and they worked that time. I've yet to try a Mercedes charger so maybe we'll do that on our next pass that way. We used the EA at UTC mall because we've had trouble there before and wanted to see if it improved . . . plus we needed to exchange...

    The State of Charging on a Gravity Road Trip

    Ah, that must be what I was (mis)remembering. I must have seen the Plug & Charge reference in the release notes for Air 2.9.0 and conflated it into my hope that the subscription plan inclusion comes soon to Gravity.

    The State of Charging on a Gravity Road Trip

    Frankly, I'm so shaky on this that I'd be okay if you wanted to remove that part of the sentence. (The editing window has closed for me to do it.)

    The State of Charging on a Gravity Road Trip

    I thought I saw it in the release notes of the last update. But I wasn't sure and was too lazy to check (which is why I said "I think"). Maybe I saw it in a note about a future update?

    He probably knows how pivotal he has become to the fate of the company.

    The State of Charging on a Gravity Road Trip

    What follows is a highly-anecdotal story that is of little value other than conveying the general mix of charging confidence and anxiety this long-time EV owner still experiences when road tripping. So read further only if you're interested (or maybe a bit bored): We owned Teslas from 2015 to...

    From Air to Gravity, is it worth it?

    We have been driving an Air since late 2021 and now have two Gravities. When it comes to power, range, handling, space utilization, structural rigidity, materials and build quality, and (at least to my mind) styling, they each lead the industry in their categories. However, the categories...

    Engineering Explained joining the Lucid Lemon Club

    I want to close out an aggravating and exhausting day on a couple of notes: First, a shout out to Javier and Renzo at the Miami Service Center. I know first-hand how swamped they are, and I'm pretty sure it is not their job to deal with cars that aren't in their shop or customers with roadside...

    Engineering Explained joining the Lucid Lemon Club

    Part of the reason is that I have put almost $40,000 into the radar detectors and PPF on the two Gravities. But there's a more complex reason, too. Both times we've had to drive home in a rental car (a Mazda CX9 last summer and a Mitsubishi Outlander today), driving them right on the heels of...

    Engineering Explained joining the Lucid Lemon Club

    I'm still uneasy for a couple of reasons. When I first contacted Emad about this, he said it was likely a chip issue in an inverter and that there would be an update at some point to address it. He also said they would first have to diagnose our car and determine the root cause. At that point...

    I'd prefer to stay out of this tangent to the discussion, but I do want to comment on the above point. I'm not looking to assign "blame" with an aim toward retribution or excoriation. But I am looking to understand where the cause of some of these issues originates. As someone who has had a...
