    Phone charger cadidate

    Curious if you tried the spot on the left side of the steering wheel, like where it's mounted on this thread: https://lucidowners.com/threads/aftermarket-phone-mount-option-magsafe.15124/ That's where I have that recommended charger mounted now, but it does cover up the left-hand side of the...

    Do you keep drowsy/distracted driver alerts on?

    Hmm, that's real interesting, but lines up!

    Do you keep drowsy/distracted driver alerts on?

    I mean, I'm sorry? This is a known problem with polling in general: you can't guarantee that everyone will respond to a poll (e.g., election polls), so you try to project from a representative sample, acknowledging that the sample itself has selection bias by definition. I tried to be completely...

    Is Lucid styling the problem?

    They are a threat—but not for the Gravity segment of the market. The Korean carmakers are basically traveling the same trajectory as the Japanese carmakers in the 80s and 90s. Back then, Toyota and Honda were also laughed at for being cheap econoboxes with no branding and no cachet, and they...

    Is Lucid styling the problem?

    That doesn't make sense, for two reasons. All those cars are built by established companies, with established brands that took them decades to build up. You can say the same thing about the best-looking Korean or Chinese car, that they don't have the "presence" of a 6-figure vehicle—by which...

    The Long Goodbye

    Ah right. I was thinking of my time w/ the Model X, where I have instituted a reset (or had the system itself just reboot on me) while I was driving. In the Gravity, if memory serves I've also done a reset, and before the systems have fully started up again I've already started backing up the...

    Do you keep drowsy/distracted driver alerts on?

    I'm curious how many people keep their interior driver alerts on. This is just a hunch. So in the Long Goodbye thread, there's confirmation from Emad that one of their issues is that the Dream Edition Gravities are so specced out that they're running into hardware constraints, i.e., the onboard...

    The Long Goodbye

    So it's not quite right that you have virtualizations for everything in the car. Pretty much all cars nowadays have two separate OSs running: A real-time OS like QNX that guarantees execution at a given time interval (i.e., no system interrupts delaying execution) which is used for core vehicle...

    The Long Goodbye

    I don't want to derail this thread completely just to debate about the merits of AI, but as someone else has pointed out—the job posting and the listed use cases are less about vibe-coding C++, and more about familiarity with automated testing, log diagnosis, etc. You're taking 3–4 unfounded...

    The Long Goodbye

    This is a bad take. Since the start of the year, every software company and dev shop has been using AI to help with software development. The reason everybody has jumped onboard is that it *has* proven to increase the speed, whether through security/compliance testing, feature development, or...

    Drive System Fault Message - Coolant Valve Replacement

    Yes, that exact alert was what I had in my Gravity for ~3 weeks, wouldn't go away, and I had both the mobile and service center techs diagnose the problem as a coolant valve that needed replacing. Of course, that took about 2 weeks of the car in the shop because my local SC is backed up. I am...

    New Bugs Since 3.5.1

    I wonder if the weather has something to do with it. I mean, the tricky part in all of this is that the class of bugs here is what software engineering calls non-deterministic—or that there's no clear "if you do A then B happens" sequencing to them. It may just be luck-of-the-draw, or that...

    Camera degradation on both turn signals

    Right, the theory was/is that they had applied some sort of crop/filter to the raw camera footage that wouldn't show the corners here, but the net effect was a crappier, lower-quality image that was also choppier (since they'd have to run the filter in real-time in software). That was the...

    Phone charging accessories and other new owner questions

    We've explored a few options on this thread: https://lucidowners.com/threads/aftermarket-phone-mount-option-magsafe.15124/

    Gravity accessories slowly appearing

    Yeah, it's not obvious from the screenshots but these trays are actually made out of a hardened rubber and *not* plastic as I originally assumed.

    New software update for Gravity - 3.5

    I think generally, randomized rollouts are better over time (or mult. deployments) as it uncovers timing bugs and other issues that would otherwise be hidden by sequenced rollouts, like hitting certain timings due to timezones or certain configs like DEs first. But it's also standard practice to...

    New in the official Lucid Gravity store: Lucid Gravity Center Console Organizer ($65)

    I just received mine as well, and I'm using it to hold napkins + screen cloth.

    Aftermarket phone mount option (MagSafe)

    Seems fine on the left-hand side, although I use Lucid's maps pretty much exclusively so I'm not doing real-time comparisons. It'd be a lot easier w/ CarPlay to do a true compare-and-contrast, esp. if you can run the in-car maps at the same time as Waze/Google Maps/Apple Maps via CarPlay on the...

    3.5 ?

    Right, the standard way to do this is to confirm the right version number on both the app + car sides, to then enable the feature. Or better yet, when you trigger something from the app (say, the remote start function), the car can either go "I know what that is and okay, here you go" when it...

    3.5 ?

    That just seems like a way to guarantee having to deal with angry customers and/or oncall over the weekend. Though since we know that these rollouts are staggered and rolling, I wouldn't be surprised if the weekend is used to get a small number of vehicles up (in software deployment it'd be...
