I’m guessing the dropping of basic DD is in preparation for the upcoming subscription model. Will be interested to know if those ordering Premium can bump up to Pro when they want. Eg. is all the equipment being installed for Pro and it’s just software gated.
I configured my current 2026 Gravity in the new configurator and it was basically the same price. They raised base price and included some features standard and then raised the price of a couple options. It's probably good optimization for Lucid to either reduce order combination complexity, make features standard for competition and then get extra margin on the features that aren't always selected but more desired.
Right, and they probably want to get all the new 2nd row seat parts together too, since they said the recall notice was out May 22nd. They would have the new builds get prioritized with parts that are fixed.
I would also appreciate the ability to move up and down that feature set as I don't need full self-driving that often, I just don't do that many miles unless its a road trip.
Same, but I managed to work around it by fiddling with the basic EQ and only using Carplay wired or USB with very little compression.
Also, this does help.

Is Texas still this way (must sell through a dealer not owned by the manufacturer)?Also, this does help.
The ‘Tesla exemption’ no more: Rivian and Lucid break through Washington state’s dealership wall
At the start of next year, Washington state shoppers will for the first time be able to visit showrooms for Rivian and Lucid Motors, take a test drive and buy an EV.
I was told that ad01 (DD Premium) will be able to upgrade to ad02 (DD Pro) by sales advisor. He was so sure because they had Demo gravity S/W upgrade from ad00(DD Base) to ad01 (DD Premium). However, I am not sure if I can do it on a monthly basis
Or proof emails. I just got in my inbox and I can say for a fact, yes, having to pull out my phone out of my pocket, go to the Lucid app, wait for it to connect to my car, then tap the start button, wait for that to clear, then put the phone back in my pocket…does in fact break my stride.
I just got the email too, anyone else get the 2.5.1 software downgrade?
Does the existing sales contract already allow them to start charging you monthly for some of the features they've already shipped?
If I bring my door to the latch, it will automatically cinch, closing softly rather than with a slam. I’m not sure what you’re talking about.
That's on purpose... they wanna see if you are paying attentionI just got the email too, anyone else get the 2.5.1 software downgrade?
Genuine question: what’s wrong with that email? Hit the button, then walk to your car. Does the walk to your car take longer than 2 minutes?
They are definately making some process changes.
For me it was “Our latest software update 2.5.1”.
I think we’re talking past each other a bit. I’m not saying it doesn’t cinch, it obviously does. The point is how it does it. On something like an S Class, the door closing is extremely smooth, quiet, and almost unnoticeable. That’s what I mean by “soft-close” in a luxury sense. A system can technically cinch the door closed but still feel more mechanical or abrupt. That’s the distinction I’m making, it’s about refinement, not just function. The Gravity, at least from my experience, sounds and feels much closer to a standard door closing than something in that class. More audible, more mechanical, less of that muted, damped finish you’d expect from a true soft-close system. And if Lucid wants to compete in that higher end space, then it should be judged accordingly.
I've never tried the feature on an S Class, but your description makes sense to me. Personally, I don't really see the point of the soft-close feature. I've never had a problem closing car doors, and it just seems like more gadgetry to break and need repaired. Same opinion about the frameless windows. But if you're going to do it at all, then go all-out and deliver the experience you describe that the S Class offers. Or embrace the mini-van comparison that Lucid hates, and have push buttons to open and close the doors.
(Yes, I know that's a terrible idea for doors that swing out)
