Anyone else having AC issues?
It's been cold-ish (about 50F, give or take 5-10 degrees) when I get in the car in the morning. If I have the heat set at something comfy, like 74, it just blows cold. Not super cold, but feels like ambient temp at best, and for a while. I don't know if I've hung in long enough and patiently enough to see if it ever warms up, but I have to jack it over 80 for it to finally get warm. Then it gets too warm, so I turn it back down to the 70s, and it feels like it's blowing cold again.
Admittedly I haven't done a scientific study to describe the behavior to a T, but it's just a little wonky. In light of some of the other pieces of the software not seeming to know where the hardware is (think windows, seat positions, etc), I'm wondering if the thermostat is performing similarly - maybe sending a bad signal to the HVAC system, or the HVAC system not understanding the signal it's being sent.
Minor bug in the grand scheme of things, but I feel like I'm fiddling with something a little unpredictable to get comfortable. Maybe tomorrow morning I will try preconditioning the interior for a while, before I get in, and observe what happens.

Is it possible that the RDU issues are only related to the Dream Edition. I know the RDU's are the same in all of the Gravities, but the DE is juiced up in the power domain. Or is this just wishful thinking.

The RDU issue is not limited to the DE. The DE performance gain is from boosting the power from the front drive unit, the rear drive unit is supposedly the same between DE and GT.

There is an advanced setting in the upper right of the climate control screen that matches the seats and steering wheel to the set thermostat temperature. While not heating the air any faster, it may warm you up faster.

Preheat before you get in. I find this is hugely helpful in the morning after it’s been sitting all night. I can slip right into a heated seat with a heated wheel and the heat will be on.
Others have guessed it’s slow to warm because of the heat pump. I preheat and it’s not an issue. I do the same with our X and R1S. Neither one of those is quick to heat either. So, I don’t think it’s a bug.
Other option is to jack it to 80+ like you did. I think it still heats much faster than any ICE car I’ve had.

you have to turn it up higher to get hot air to really blow. mid 70s still blows cool air in mine too. I turn it up to 79 or 80 and I have nice hot air blowing within a minute or two. I don't think it does temp sensing too well. You will know when you have the car set to blow warm air as the slider bar for the temp will turn red.

I had that happen yesterday when I tried to charge my car. The errors went away after a little while. Haven't seen them again, but then, I downloaded 3.3.8 last night.
Ok- Got it. Just looking at possibilities....
Mine is working on the second try, Connection Failed on the first try.
Both car and phone are on WiFi. Car parked in the garage.
Latest app and car on 3.3.8 as of today.

But in the case of Lucid, the leadership of both teams are hired by the same executives.
Oh, your Gravity was finally released.
Congrats.
Did you find out what the hold-up was about?

Also wholly different systems, so more like two teams playing somewhat different sports. Building webapps and APIs is a different skillset than writing low-level firmware.

They were not really clear other than saying there was a recall on several Gravities and they had to check the major modules and also take things apart to check torque specs.
I was really prepared, after reading all the posts here, to be inundated with bugs, but everything appears normal, aside for a few transient error messages, which I saw only once. I’ve also loaded v3.3.8 and maybe more things got fixed. I was hoping the Level 2 charging issue they mentioned would solve the Tesla Wall Connector charging bug at 80A, but it was not addressed. I’m still stuck at 48V (11.5kW).

I will file this under: Operator ErrorPosted in Gravity-Delivery-Discussion .. but this seems more like a 3.3.5 bug
YESTERDAY: I went to the beach [today]. It wasn't hot so I didn't turn on "creature comfort". Locked the car and went for a walk. About 40 minutes later I returned, unlocked the car, got in and it was already noticeably cool in there, like the A/C was continuously running. I mean, the few seconds between unlocking and getting in couldn't cool the car off. Once locked, shouldn't the A/C turn off?
TODAY: I realized locking the car with the fob locks the doors, but the mirrors no longer fold in. Neither the A/C nor the displays and ambient lighting turn off. I have to manually turn off the headlights and A/C. The car has been in the garage, locked, and it is still "on" .. it's been like this for an hour. And the fob is at the other side of the house with the battery removed. And, yeah, I've rebooted it a few times now.
I never had this occur with 3.3.2
My husband doesn't like to wear his seatbelt
and plugs in an extension to stop the dinging .. This makes the Gravity think someone is sitting in the car. This wasn't the case with the Air, which I think looks at the seat sensor instead of the seat-belt sensor. This also explains why when trying fold down the rear seat from the Trunk, there's a confirmation popup on the screen and I have to run up to click [confirm] before it disappears .. the Gravity thinks someone is sitting up there.We realized this when the mirrors wouldn't fold when locking .. I tried to open "Live View" from the app, which will not work if: Charging, Sleeping, or OCCUPIED.
The Gravity may be looking at both Seat and Seat-Belt sensors .. but if only the seat sensor is used, this issue will go away. In the meantime .. just unplug it
Thanks /keith
Yes seeing similar issues. Get in the car, climate set to 70 but blowing at max ac. Toggling max ac button doesn't do anything.
Anyone unable to do the x-mic-brake reboot? Ever since I picked up the car 4 days ago I've wanted to "clear the bugs" with a reboot but haven't been successful. Nothing happens when I try. Bugs do resolve when I just lock the car and walk away after a while but I don't think that's a longer term solution and it doesn't enable the reset salute. Dont really have the time to deal with service, and I sort of want to wait till I build up a meaningful list (reboot and homelink set up and so much missing or greyed out buttons on the list so far).

TOW Mode
I picked up my DE last Friday. I spent the weekend really learning the car and software. I watched Notch EV’s hour long video of the screens last night that’s posted in the Feature of the Day thread, which I highly recommend. I noticed that Tow Mode doesn’t appear on the main screen, or in the software setup menu. I have the hitch receiver and hitch insert (standard on the Dream). Has Tow Mode been disabled in the software?

Anyone else got the Regen temporarily reduced alert? Does cold weather cause this? It’s not incredible cold just in the 50s but have heard on the air that did happen when the batteries were cold.

I haven’t gotten the alert, but this happens to all EVs in cold temps and if they’re 100% charged. The 50s isn’t cold enough to trigger (usually), but who knows…
One way around it is to preheat your car when it’s cold. That gets the juices flowing to heat the battery as well.
As a side note, in the making of Gravity videos, there’s a really neat video of them testing it in an ice chamber or something. Maybe it was a massive freezer. IDK. But it was cool (pun intended). If you’ve not watched those videos, I highly recommend. They’re not long and really interesting.
