Here's another neato UI/UX feature that I discovered by accident. When you're on the home screen in the pilot panel (currently w/ the tripanel layout: maps, music, phone calls), you can swipe down on a panel and load that interface on the infotainment screen beneath. Of course you can also load...

I received one of the first Model X refreshes back in the winter of '21, and it had a particularly bad issue where the infotainment system would get itself into an unstable state and crash randomly. This was about once a month so it was hard to diagnose and fix, but the kicker was that when it...

Interesting, we tried to use them for the first time yesterday, and my wife was complaining that we weren't feeling the air coming up from the bottom of the seat compared to the X (though the X's AC was loud). Maybe we weren't activating it properly.

I feel like people here are mistaking software development in, say, databases or web apps or their mobile OS of choice with the software, hardware, and firmware present in cars. Specifically, the Android that is present in most cars, and I think is largely the case even with Android Automotive...

Just saw this article claiming that the Apple Wallet PaaK is coming to Lucid brands, which they announced during WWDC but now it's "soon": https://9to5mac.com/2025/10/03/car-keys-are-coming-to-the-wallet-app-for-13-new-vehicle-brands-soon/ I'm assuming it'll be both for the Air and Gravity...

I had the 6-seater too, and you're right—I opted for it because it felt like easier ingress/egress into the 3rd row, but I didn't realize that I was making a tradeoff in cargo space and the captain chairs layout is unreasonably spartan. My daughter ended up preferring to squish into the 3rd row...

Oh, so I've been pretty consistently been able to unlock the car w/ the phone app; it connects and recognizes the car (and vice versa), but once I get in without the keyfob/keycard and no PaaK I can't actually drive it.

Can confirm that you can't pry it open with your fingernails (cause I tried), so I'm thinking of keeping a screwdriver in the glovebox specifically so I don't get caught locked out when out and about.

A small software nicety: the car knows, between the ext. proximity sensors and when you slow down, when you're getting close to parking and auto-switches to the 360° + camera views, while exiting out of that view coming out of parking is configurable to mph. The combination makes it so I rarely...

I traded in my 2022 Model X to get the Gravity, so it's not quite a side-by-side comparison—though I did do a few test drives and tried to compare the cars back to back. So credit where it's due: the software-controlled aspects of the car are very refined, especially when tracing the evolution...

I read through most of your post and was just about to complain that my DE package didn't come with any wine...

Same! YT Music is criminally underrated for all the genres and off-the-beaten-path music that they have, plus it's included with YT Red and that's been amazing for sanity from YT ads.

That looks great and all...but I'd really like to get our second fob.

I've seen plenty of both of those, so far I've ignored them; they tend to go away after a while.

As I was watching the review, I noticed that there's a customization module in the driver's gauge screen that I no longer see in my Gravity. It's around 17:44 in the video, a module labeled "Customize your driving experience": Does anybody know/remember whether that's a one-time setup thing...

So the curb rash feature was something that they touted in some of the intro videos, but as far as I can tell is not ready for prime time and enabled in our cars. It doesn't fully solve the 360° warping issues, but after not having it in my Teslas for the past…4 years, getting that view back...

It says 9/25, which I'm guessing is Sept. 2025 (huh, later than I thought, honestly), and not the 9th week of 2025.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it's a center console issue; my DE # is 266 but I know it was delivered to the Millbrae SC early Sept. so it must have been built earlier on. I didn't check the keycard as I needed to get my daughter to school, but afterwards in the garage I did check the...

I got an email from FedEx too, about a shipment from TX. But somehow mine is 26 lbs, so maybe it's just a thousand speed forms on a crate.

This looks great, and mirrors my experience w/ my DE Gravity for the last 9–10 days as well. I have started to run into the more annoying software bugs and issues, but I'm going to power through them and hope that it's mostly software-related and fixable with OTAs. I remember when I initially...
