Gravity Bugs / Issues

Once my spotify account was hacked and someone else was using it.. it caused this exact same problem because they were actively playing it and it kept pausing in my tesla. called spotify and they asked if I was in russia.... turned out someone there was using my account.. changed my password and the problem disappeared.

In our cars it happens no matter whether the source is Spotify, Tidal, or a USB stick plugged into the car.

Is it random or happens every time you’re in the car? I feel like something went wrong with your entire Lucid account and all of your profiles are corrupt. While it’s a pain in the ass I’d first try a guest profile (also guest fob or keycard!) and drive around trying to only use USB audio and no streaming services and see if it happens. If it never happens, try and make a dummy new Spotify free account and see if that gets audio pauses, and try the same with Tidal. If that solves it I’d guess your whole Lucid account is corrupt since that’s the common denominator in all of your vehicles, like when you first set it up you had it put in your Lucid username and password. If your Lucid account is hosed, I have no clue how you could fix that aside from starting a new one from scratch and wiping your vehicles, they’d have to advise what to do.
 
So my car went back into service for the couple gremlins that popped up in the past couple weeks.

Interestingly I got a Gravity as a loaner, which I really appreciated. No offense to you Air owners but that form factor is not for me. It's just too low to the ground with too low of a roofline for me. The loaner Gravity also, ironically had a couple issues pop up since I've taken it but nothing too crazy.

One that I'll mention here just to log it for others: The car no longer has Brake Hold when it stops. There's a warning that specifically says to use the brake to hold the car at a stop now. No idea why it happened.

But I was thinking about the people talking about the capacitive buttons on the steering wheel and how some people insist that they are working as intended but require a more intentional touch. On the loaner Gravity the capacative buttons are MUCH, MUCH more responsive than on my own car. I drove them back to back within minutes of each other so I know for sure it's different.

The DD engage and disengage button work nearly perfectly every time. The buttons to change speed and following distance are also similarly much more responsive than on my car. On my car I have to be very intential about pressing the buttons to get it to work. Even the D-pad is much more responsive than my car. So there's obviously a difference between vehicles. Some might be worse than my own car and many others might be as easy to use as this loaner car. Wouldn't think there would be much a difference but it's night and day. I've also checked that they're both set to Capacitive Steering Wheel Controls - On.

I'm also have the unique issue of the car sometimes not being able to be shifted into Reverse (when other drive modes are available). So it feels like maybe there's some wiring issue or some electrical interference in the steering column and wheel controls.

It's random. It's happened four times since October 17, but not every time we use the cars.

We have a mobile tech coming next week for some other issues, but I wanted to see if any other owners were having similar problems and, if so, what was common to their experience and ours.
 
Once again my partner and I were following each other in our Gravities after picking one up from the radar installer, and the music in both cars kept pausing constantly. He was streaming from Spotify and I from Tidal. We stopped for dinner, during which time both cars reset, but the problem continued on the drive home.

This problem keeps repeating, whether we're out in just one of our Lucids or whether they're both on the road. It's also happened to both cars while we were following a Gravity with our Air.

I've not seen much posting from other owners about this problem. Are we the only ones? And what could be causing it? It happens no matter what source we're streaming and also when listening to a USB music stick.
I have no idea. We haven't had an instance of this yet.

I did have one issue today where the car booted up but had an error in dynamic stability control and regenerative braking, and it told me to drive carefully. So I did, to my destination, without regen. Then I got out, let it sleep for a minute, got back in, and all was fine. Drove home without issue (I was dropping a friend off). That was a new one, but it seems like it was ephemeral.

OK, that's nuts. I can't even fathom a possible explanation for that. My first thought was also that you are both using Spotify and just pausing each other's music because it's 'single stream at a time' or some nonsense, but if this is the case I have no idea whatsoever. I've never heard of it, either.

I literally can't think of why that would happen in every Lucid you have.

Does it happen in the Odyssey with a CD or whatever the Odyssey has? Does it happen over Bluetooth in the Air or Gravity? Or over CarPlay connected via USB in either car?

Fascinating! This variance would explain a lot.

Are you absolutely sure you are not cursed by some elder shaman somewhere? Do you live on top of a magnet?

That’s good to know, my DD cancel button doesn’t act like it’s capacitive even though the wheel does, many times it doesn’t work at all so I have to use the brake pedal to cancel DD. Glad I haven’t had the shift into reverse issue.

That’s why I was thinking it’s a glitch in his actual Lucid account as that’s the only common denominator linking all 3 vehicles. When you set up the car you first log in using Lucidmotors.com username and password, and then you go about creating your user profiles etc. So even a guest profile could behave weird as the keycard and fob are still linked to the owner account. While I don’t understand HOW that would related to any audio constantly quitting including USB which doesn’t require internet connectivity, I can’t think of a single other common denominator shared between the 3 vehicles since if it were just streaming services that shouldn’t affect USB. I’m wagering this wouldn’t happen on a loaner vehicle.

I don't know, man. At this point, it's probably the goddamn alligators.

I prefer Tidal and my partner almost always uses Spotify (where he has better luck finding some of the Polish artists he likes). So we are never using the same stream when we're out at the same time in different cars. (We even have our profiles in each car set accordingly.)

We never listen to music in the Lucids via Bluetooth or CarPlay.

The Odyssey plays CDs just fine and has no issue with Sirius XM (which is via satellite). It will sometimes fail to read USB sticks, a problem it's had from the beginning and that I've never taken up with Honda service. Removing and reinserting the stick never resolves the problem, and I just have to wait for it to return on another car start-up.

I think ALL buttons on steering wheel are capacitive and my sense/guess is there’s actually only one actuator/button (one for left side of wheel, one for right side) when you press them, so that’s why finger placement is SO sensitive. It’s 100% relying on that capacitive input to know what function you’re trying perform. Total guess, but it feels that way and it would also explain why precise placement if fingers is so important.

We do live near Ave Maria University, a place I have avoided for fear of bursting into flames.

I hadn’t used Tidal and started just for SS Pro. It’s absolutely stunning for many songs. But does have a limited library compared to Spotify.

Haven’t had any of the music issues you’ve experienced. Incredibly strange. Then again, much of your experience has been incredibly strange, unfortunately.

Maybe the university has mobile service for exorcisms so you don’t need to get close to campus.

My advice is to buy a third Gravity for testing purposes.
 
Interesting update/info for this with “double frunk” opening issue.

Mobile tech told me it’s actually a software issue. There are two parts to frunk opening:

1) Latch opening and then
2) struts push forward and up to open

Software issue is struts pushing too early so they hit the latch before it’s open. Then, on second try, latch is already open so struts just push forward and up. Probably not describing it well…

BUT, that explains why mine has been fixed twice but not fixed. And explains why we see a “flex” on hood while struts push against latch on first attempt.

Hopefully, they will fix soon.
