The only V3 limitation is that at Tesla Supercharger stations with both V2 and V3 at the station, Tesla will not allow any 3rd party at the station at all, despite the fact that the V3s should theoretically be working. I think this is the main sticking point that's going to catch people up
There's that, but there's also some V3-only stations that are not authorized for non-Teslas too. Some suspect that Tesla is leaving those out because they're busy stations and don't want to impact Tesla drivers too much, but that's just a guess.
Same issue with mine. The mobile tech ordered new ones and is going to swap them out and see if it helps. The techs are going for a week long Gravity training session next week and will return afterwards to do the work. They are also swapping out my center console (sliding glass door mechanism doesn't work correctly--noted at delivery) and they are also swapping out the interior driver door panel--the plastic bin part was scratched during transport)....The tech is going to learn/practice these swaps at the training so my car won't be the guinea pig!
These are the types of things that made me swear I'd never buy a 1st year EV again (like I did with my First Edition Mustang Mach-E). They can be frustrating.Same issue with mine.

I wish they'd simply dump "HERE" mapping and go with Google Maps. It's updated constantly, it's accurate as all heck and I've never, ever, had a problem with it in my Model X. Go with a proven mapping software and forego whatever 'discount' Lucid is getting for "HERE" and make the whole car perform better. Why have customers complaining over something so easily remedied? Just do it.
Exactly. If they know one or the other don't work, then why would you give it to customers? This is one issue that should be addressed and solved within a months time, once it appears more than a few cars. This issue is scary. What if there were someone stalking you in a dark parking lot? You move quickly to your car to get in, and you can't? No escape? No way to get out of a real dicey situation? This is a lawsuit waiting to happen, as this is a scenario that is very likely to happen at some point. You've got to be able to get in a vehicle in seconds and also to be able to drive away, in seconds.....NOT minutes.
My sense is that Google Maps won't let a manufacturer add their own touches to the system. For example, Lucid's display of the region that you have the range to get to without charging is perhaps not possible if they adopt Google Maps. Whether the flexibility is worth the tradeoff of using a different mapping provider is up to you.
I had two reservations for Fisker Ocean and also invested about $100K into that disaster. I followed the debacle very closely as it unraveled. This list of issues here is a longer list than what Ocean came out with. It’s kind id shocking that after such a long delay in the release, they still have these issues. Like Pet mode not working? WTH Is this? Did they actually kill a few of their customers’ dogs before it became apparent that the feature wasn’t working. How did it get released like this? I wonder if the previous CEO was canned because he refused to release the Gravity with all these issues. He seemed to be a decent guy.
Pet mode not working is not a big issue? This one feature alone is why my family is interested in this vehicle.
Shockingly, Rivian navigation knows which Tesla SCs are compatible with either an adapter or have magic dock, so there’s no need to guess. I would expect this info is available via Tesla, so there should be no surprises. As well, the “in use” info is near real time with SCs on Rivian navigation, vs EA, etc where it’s always a crapshoot.
You do realize Tesla doesn’t use Google. They use mapbox for navigation along with a Google image overlay.
Tesla has the worst navigation I’ve ever used. Maybe they use Mapquest or something….
Rivian was a close second until recent update to Google. Rivian is solid now.
I just find it funny that people come in here with such demands and then actually don’t know the facts.
I’m sorry to say this, but this is not insignifiant, provided how few Gravities have been manufactured so far and a small percentage of the owners being on this forum. Someone pushed Licid to release this vehicle in an unfinished condition. This is will do nothing to improve the reputation of the company.
So maybe it is geography, but whatever “algorithm” is used to actually pick the fastest route is also a— backward in my Tesla X.
Respectfully, expecting a brand-new, ground-up vehicle, especially one this complex to launch without any bugs is simply unrealistic. Every major automaker, including Tesla, Rivian, Porsche, and even Mercedes, has faced similar teething issues with early builds.
