. . . I feel recommending it is irresponsible.
I should have said, "recommending it
just now is irresponsible".
Lucid finally got the Air software sorted, although it took almost a year. And the Gravity, like the Air, has great "bones": structural solidity, superb handling dynamics, class-leading space packaging, quiet and comfortable interior, and great leaps forward in terms of charging flexility and speed.
What worries me, though, is that having two Gravities has made it clear just how random these software issues are from car to car and, in some cases, how unique some of them are to our cars. This suggests that it may be a very long time, if ever, that Lucid gets to the bottom of everything that's going on with our two cars. They're going to prioritize fixes that are more common across the model lineup and that occur with greater predictability. I understand why this would be so, but it still leaves us out in the cold with some of our problems.
For instance, the fact that we can't have any two of our three Lucids on the road at the same time and listen to music in either of them seems to be unique to people who have multiple Lucids -- perhaps even unique to us alone, as other multiple Lucid owners I've asked on the forum are not reporting the issue. The fact that the issue was referred to an engineering team over a month ago and I haven't heard a word back about even possible causes or fixes is worrisome.
I'm just trying to accept the possibility that we may have two Gravities on our hands that are always going to have certain idiosyncratic glitches that Lucid can't or won't even try eventually to resolve because they're not a big enough problem to the wider customer base.
I never felt this about the Air, even during the darkest days of UX 1.0. But the Gravity is a model from a software operation that has been at this more than five years now, and the hot mess they dumped on us with the Gravity doesn't suggest much promise of getting things fully sorted any time soon.
Just to name a few.
