Per Derek Jenkins, quoted in this article:
"You can’t do a modern electric connected vehicle without being excellent at software, which is a very, very challenging area for vehicle development. The blend of those two worlds coming together is what Lucid does really, really well.”
I'll finish the article as soon as I can pull my tongue back into my mouth and gather my wits.
At least I guess we now know why Lucid released the Gravity in the state they did. They had done the software really, really well.
Meanwhile, I'll get back to finishing page 204 of the Gravity Bugs/Issues thread.

But silly to choose the Lambo Urus as the “performance car of the year “ when Gravity can leave it in the dust and is < half its price

Well, now you know why the software isn't getting fixed. It's already been done "really, really well." Unbelievable.
Articles like this might seem like good news for Lucid fans but all it does is draw more people into the pool of post-purchase frustration.
The more bad software press the better because these adorable "robustness" updates have now become clear and irritating evidence of the how unserious Lucid are about pulling themselves out of this software death spiral. Lucid have to own this, admit its a failure, and present a plan about how they are going to move past this, even if it means retrofitting more "robust" hardware.

There was literally a massive update announced like yesterday. “Isn’t get fixed” is perhaps not accurate, given that.
