Interesting. After seeing your post I decided to try the back-up key fobs we keep stored in a drawer. These are the ones our mobile tech delivered to us a couple of months ago. The fob for the newer Gravity worked without issues both with auto locking turned on and turned off. The fob for...

I'll call Service tomorrow.

After taking a lead from a post here last night, I experimented with using the mobile app to lock and unlock the newer car. That worked better than the fob, although inconsistently. Sometimes the car responded immediately; sometimes there was a significant delay (I timed one at 28 seconds)...

I doubt it, as we've had prolonged periods when the fob was fairly reliable. Given that the software seems to be driving the rear hatch malfunctions, VIBE lighting malfunctions, screen malfunctions, manual control malfunctions, I think it much more likely that the software is behind the fob...

I don't know. It might put me back on the fence. We are still having other issues. The rear hatch of our newer Gravity is still malfunctioning even after the latch was replaced. We've long since quit using the frunk of our Air because it's been through four repairs (including hinge, latch...

We have a lot in common. I once approached Zak Edson about building us a Sapphire with the Santa Monica interior of a Dream Edition (my all-time favorite interior palette). We plan to keep our Air, too, as long as the battery/powertrain warranty lasts. (I was hoping Lucid would offer an...

Marketing can be a two-edged sword for Lucid because of their software problems. If people see an ad that triggers their interest, many of them will turn to online reviews and YouTube videos to explore the car further. They will find a deluge of reviews, including some from very prominent auto...

Uniden R9W in both Gravities. Works great.

On one of his visits our mobile tech delivered us the second key fob for each of our Gravity DEs that had been missing at delivery, and he also gave us a third fob to replace one of the older ones (I don't remember for which car). He said the Service Center had told him to do it because of some...

Yeah, that's my (somewhat tarnished) silver lining, too.

We've had hardware issues, too. One of the Gravities has had to have a new front drive unit (it failed on an out-of-state road trip), a new HUD unit, and a new steering wheel. The other has had to have a rear hatch latch replaced, although that was just an attempt to determine whether the...

This is the treatment we had to use on our windows: 3M makes a wide variety of VHB tapes, each for very specific applications. And different surface treatments are required for different materials. This is why I wonder if there was some flub in Lucid purchasing or assembly where the wrong...

I've developed the same suspicion, and it's why I'm throwing in the towel on Lucid and waiting to see how things go with the Porsche Cayenne and the new generation of BMW's. I've pretty much written Mercedes and Audi EVs off for several, as they really seem lost in the wilderness. I've had a...

I tried turning off the auto feature. It still took the car 23 seconds to respond to a command from the fob. Try that in a south Florida rainstorm. Remember that before and shortly after the 3.5.1 update, this car was having little if any problems with responding to the key fob. Those...

I spent a good bit of time today trying to figure out a way to reduce the aggravation of getting underway in our Gravities. I started by putting new batteries in both key fobs, although the batteries had just been in them a few weeks. Neither car responded any better to the fob than before...

True, but more awareness without reliable user software will be deadly. Right now, too many people know Lucid for making the cars that won't open.

When our house was built almost ten years ago, the window contractor used a specialty 3M VHB tape to attach aluminum muntins to our glass windows for the "le Corbusier" look we wanted. A decade later -- through Florida heat, humidity, sunshine, and 5 hours in the eastern wall of Hurricane Irma...

From the moment I was told about Lucid in 2016 I became intrigued. The Air prototype broke so many automotive molds at once, and the credentials of the engineering team were so impressive, that I began following everything I could find about the company. When reservations opened, I was near the...

The Gravity software problems, coming on the heels of a rough first year of Air software problems, have dug a deep reputational hole for reliability from which the Cosmos has to climb. They have absolutely no room for anything like these missteps with a true mass-market product, and nothing I...

We took delivery of our Air Dream Edition on December 31, 2021. The first nine months we ran an unrelenting gauntlet of software tortures, some of which rendered the car literally undriveable. But in October 2022 Lucid released a retooled version -- UX 2.0 -- and from that point forward there...
