Gravity 3.5.1

CarPlay is fantastic for Waze and texting. I don’t need it for anything else but love it for those.

In car routing is terrible in our Lucid, Tesla and Rivian, so having CarPlay means I can have Waze on my screen versus my phone on my lap.

Yep...and Apple Music for those of us who have used it for years. Sorry, Tidal. ;-)

The voice quality on calls still needs work, but seems to be getting better.

80s here in San Diego too but I'm sitting at 2.6 mi/kWh but on 22/23" wheels. I'm just not an efficient driver I guess lol

mine are 20/21" - so that helps somewhat, also I am using smooth mode most of the time and hard regen. Efficiency started to improve after 3K miles mark for me, which is consistent with the break-in period for Gravity. 2.6 or 2.99 - no big deal as long as you enjoy driving this beast

I haven't had a lot of luck with any nav system when navigating in an area I know. Nav systems are routinely right-turn oriented and often the algorithm does not know the best way - perhaps the mathematically least number of miles, but not the simplest - but I haven't found Lucid's to be any worse than others. When I'm somewhere I am not familiar with, I don't know if it the "best" way, but I haven't found it to lead me astray.

HOWEVER, I don't travel allot by car, so don't have the experiences of some on this forum. I know it is better than a map or trip-tik!

After that last trip up to L.A. I'd been planning on doing some routing comparisons between Lucid, Apple Maps and Google Maps just by running Apple on my phone and Google on my wife's but that's right when I got a drive system warning and had to have the Gravity in for service for a few weeks. Going to do that one of these times I have a trip just to see what each is telling me. I've always preferred Apple Maps from when I was still working and travelled around a lot to clients/potential clients, my wife is more a Google Maps fan.

I also use smooth a lot and hard regen but only about 2200 miles so far. I'm happy enough with the efficiency and I know I can be more conservative and squeeze more out on long trips.

Lucid's nav routing is just so bad sometimes here, if I could ditch it completely I would. We go up to L.A. and Anaheim a lot and I'll set the nav for final destinations that I haven't been to but have a vague idea of how to get there and it always goes weird ways and wants me to get off and then back on the freeway to save time (which never does). I had a lot of the same problems in the Tesla X but the Lucid's is definitely worse.

We went up to Beverly Hills to see a movie in a 90 year old theater in February and the nav didn't have it in the system, my wife had to pull out her phone and look up the actual address for the nav.

My point is/was Tesla and Rivian in car navigation are terrible too. So that’s why I love CarPlay.

My original fob had worked without a problem since I got my GGT in September. I took my GGT in for service on March 12th and they replaced my fob - it was in the batch of ones flagged to be replaced because of falling off buttons. The new fob acted up a little bit right away after I got home, but I wasn't sure why. I didn't prioritize debugging the fob issues until right about when 3.5.1 was released. I figured out that the fob didn't have the current firmware and I updated it. Unfortunately, that didn't fix it. I updated my GGT to 3.5.1 and that didn't fix it. I replaced the battery in the fob and that didn't fix it. I rebooted my GGT and that didn't fix it.

Note: I'm still on 3.4.4.
I have issues with my key fobs since September 2025 delivery. Basically the very next day the car stopped responding to key fob presses. I would need to press the unlock 15+ times before car reacts. It's ok for me to spam unlock, but the lock is much bigger problem. If I press lock too many times in short time it might trigger panic and the car alarm would start. What I noticed is that the key fob is more reliable on auto-lock/unlock than button presses so I was using this most of the time. And this issue would just randomly go away for month or two and come back for a few weeks to a month. Soft/Hard car reboot, restarting the key fob (removing the battery, holding unlock), using new battery doesn't fix the issue. When the issue happened for the first time I later noticed that the car time was wrong so I was wondering if the issue might be cause by the time de-sync between the car and the fob. But in the most recent cases the time (at least in the car) was fine.
A few weeks ago I had a case where button presses wouldn't work, pressing the door handle same. Eventually after multiple tries it works. Car unlocks, I get in, close the door and the car shuts down with me inside (car locks all doors, screens turns off). It happened 3 times already. First time I opened the door using the physical door latch release which ended with a car blaring an alarm. Next two times I managed to unlock the car with the key fob.
Or it would not react and then queue multiple actions in a row after I pressed the door handle a few times. I would ten unlock and lock a few times. I reported some of the issues to SW feedback alias.
The biggest problem is that this issue comes and goes. Every time I had service appointment (including mobile) the issue magically goes away and it stays fine for a few weeks so they can't even diagnose it. And when the issue happens it affects both key fobs so maybe the issue is on the car side?
I'm on the newest firmware, but I still see big battery drain. After 2 weeks the battery dropped from 3.24V to just above 3V (but I'm an ignorant and maybe that's normal and it stabilizes there?). And the fobs sit in a drawer, in faraday pouch. Only leave it for an hour or so every few days.

I also have a problem when driving for 10-15 minutes (or longer), I get out of the car, and then get back in within a minute - the key fob is not recognized even though the car did not go to sleep and the fob was in my pocket, moving with me. It does not matter if I leave the driver's door open while I'm out of the GGT or not. Twice I was patient and waited 30-60 seconds before pulling out my key card or using the app. Both times, with me just sitting there waiting and shaking my head, the GGT recognized the fob and I was able to shift out of park.

I have something similar (I think?) since forever. If I drive and leave the car for a few minutes it would be sleeping. I doesn't react to my fob (auto-unlock or button presses), or door handle presses. But if I use the app it would either unlock right after waking up (detected the key fob presence), or I would need to unlock form the app. Every time after that the screens are black for 5-10 seconds and then immediately loads my profile (ignores easy entry).

Oddly, voice quality with CarPlay is noticeably worse (for me).

I hear you on Apple Music. I always forget about that as I don’t use it. We are a Spotify/tidal household.
 
Performed the update then removed my iPhone and added it back. CarPlay looks and performs well. Calling appears to be superior. Streaming on Spotify is somewhat glitchy. Map features work well. I like it.

Do you think these intermittent issues are because the way the SW tends to drain the fob battery?...or is there some glitchy hardware issue here??

It's not a battery thing as when I was in the midst of such FOB inconsistencies, I did replace the battery w/ a 3.28v battery, to no avail. As mentioned above, after 3.4.x update my fob was consistently working but inexplicably reverted to it's troublesome ways. Just as inexplicable, about a week before I got 3.5, consistency returned. Since the update I'm pleased to say that consistency has remained in place. Fingers crossed.

Yeah, the part about having to find the addresses using the phone first is what bothers me the most. It's like having to carry a phone book to be able to make calls on my cell 😂 (kids, Google "phone book")

My wife keeps joking about buying a Thomas' Guide to keep in the glovebox. 🤣
 
I have noticed that my home charging has reverted to the slow and decreasing kW. Normally I had a solid 11kW but now after a short amount of time the charge at 56% has dropped to 7kW, Not sure if this is a common issue. Has anyone else noticed the change in home AC charging since 3.5.1? I am using a 48 amp Tesla charger. FYI

I have the same setup as you and have not seen any change in charging from day one, regardless of software version.

I drove in heavy rain this morning for the first time since the 3.5.1 update. The automatic wiper updates are fantastic. No longer do I have to hammer the end of the stalk to get to the manual settings. Many thanks to the Lucid team for the continued refinement.

I haven't had those pop up for quite some time now. The only consistent one I'm seeing over the last 2 or 3 software releases is the face camera just randomly not being available when you get in the car. Have had it 3 or 4 times already on 3.5.1 but next time you get in the car it's usually resolved itself on its own.

I put the HUD back on thinking "I've paid for this stupid thing I should see if I can just live with it" and it turned into a beacon. Just flashing the whole square on and off in full brightness. From that, to the text being directly in your line of sight and distracting visibility from the cars in front of you, the HUD is becoming a safety issue. For now, its going to be turned off again.
