As an East Coast person, those times are okay for me, but nothing Saturday night and nothing Sunday is an issue. Not sure why they can’t have 24/7 and just triage it. Call centers aren’t that expensive - especially if you only escalate a real issue.
Yup, it happens now and then...the arctic blast. Just turn off the climate control and then turn right back on and back to normal. Just like the chime of death, getting stuck in creature comfort mode, and random faults with rear wheel steering, etc. are all easily cleared up. Here is what I have found:
Well it least you don't have to hand crank it to start and you don't have to drive with a Mechanic.
I think every needs to stop with the "just teething" and "early adopter" nonsense.....this car is far past the point where these challenges should be behind us and instead we have new ones being reported regularly. I would not buy the car again. I was an early adopter of both Tesla and Rivian vehicles, they didn't have anywhere near the number of issues the Gravity has and the company's that made them were able to get the issues resolved quickly and roll out new functionality.
We all come from different perspectives and places. My first year Taycan had about as many issues too. Porsche fixed the vast majority within a year or two, so I am comfortable to give Lucid the same grace, but I can understand if others are not. You are valid to feel how you do about it. I wish it was a really excellent experience all around with little to no bugs and issues.
Someone had mentioned the available hours of CS so I will plan to have a key somewhere outside of the vehicle home or away. My personal preference would be for the vehicle to remain unlocked if the FOB was inside irrespective of the risk, personally I would not leave the vehicle unattended and not special enough for it to be all about me
You are getting it in December, ready or not. End of year is important…good luck
I think what really triggers people is the grotesque randomness of the car's behavior. It's one thing to accept that a certain feature is consistently broken or undeveloped due to early release or new technology, but it's a different thing when something works perfectly fine sometimes, but not always and you know it will likely fail at the worst possible moment, completely unexpected for no rhyme or reason, and later will recover as if nothing happened. I think we develop a Pavlovian response to these bugs, which can't be healthy. My emotional response can go from laughing it off to wanting to drive it off the cliff and collect insurance.
My wife HAD to borrow my car today for a carpool (long story having to do with our X).
FWIW, I’ve never had a time when the app wouldn’t unlock the car. That said if you’re in a parking garage with no signal, you’re screwed.Someone had mentioned the available hours of CS so I will plan to have a key somewhere outside of the vehicle home or away.

When she gets home (wink wink), let us know how your Gravity behaved for her.My wife HAD to borrow my car today for a carpool (long story having to do with our X).
When I gave her the key card and explained it would likely go to sleep while she waited and she would need to shake fob or use card, she almost lost it. Seriously. She was like “why doesn’t your car work? Wasn’t it super expensive?” and many more words I can not type here. She asked if we could just cancel the order for her GGT.
Embarrassing. Now I have to listen to how great her X is, how at least it starts, etc. SMH
Love you Lucid, but do better.
Oh, she’s back. No issues (of course). And still talking about how great her X is. We are now an X v. Gravity household. Never thought I’d see the day when she was defending an Elon company, but gloves are off!
Agree... I feel like "early adopter teething pains" should be ok for new technology (early FSD, solid state batteries, etc), not to features that have reliably existed for a long time (entry, climate control, audio, seat management...)
Is there a reason you leave the key card inside the car, other than it being your preference/habit?Has anyone had experience with Roadside Assistance +1 (888) 995-8243 and if these folks can assist with a lockout? There are times where my key card is in side the car and I rely on the FOB (gym) no problems with vehicle access to date... Not sure if I should change my habits
Good!
