Gravity Delivery Discussion

Congrats!

I picked up today as well and had the same minor issues (gap imperfections) and few spots to paint correct. Planning to drop the car off for PPF + Ceramic Coating tomorrow

Is it better to get service to fix paint spots before sending it for PPF?

Any reputable PPF shop will do the paint correction for you, and probably do a better job than Lucid will, tbh. They are experts in that.

Congrats!!
I think your original review/comments on deciding between Air and Gravity, got me interested in the Gravity, and eventually ordered one. Also about the Valley Fair demo unit, and the Milbrae unit. Dang. OK Borski. I'm a Lucid owner because of you.

That's a lot of pressure

Excited to meet one day.

Picked up DE #013. It is now dropped off for PPF so we can leave for Kenya tomorrow and arrive back in mid-July for a fully protected car. A few spots to paint correct, but nothing major. A few minor trim / panel gap imperfections which service will fix (and we noted on the due bill), but overall 100x better than my Air DE when I picked it up.

And wow, the software has come a long way. Terrible pics attached (this past week has been insane, and I have been running minute-to-minute, so these were snapped as @TribbleTrouble drove to the PPF shop, heh). Ignore the buttons that have no text; they do, it was just a quirk that a reboot fixed and never came back.

Also, release notes for v3.2.0 https://publications.infotainment.p...32-bc6c-9aa4b5485a72/content_en-US/index.html

Congrats! Have fun in Kenya!

First impressions of driving around with our DE today are positive.

Absolutely love the way it drives, turning radius is amazing, handles very well on the turns (almost too well). It’s a very fun vehicle and ultra spacious. Already put 6 people in the car and everyone told me it was surprisingly roomy

Probably got terrible range because was just having fun with it but hoping to do better in the coming days. Maybe some of this is also new battery? (Idk)

The one thing I have not been impressed with so far is the heads up display, maybe there’s updates coming / settings that need configuration. The content is too large and does not appear in my normal line of sight when driving (I felt like I had to change my eyes focus to see the content)

Also question for folks, where’s the CarPlay? Am I just lost but I couldn’t figure out how to set it up

CarPlay is not available yet it seems, but will be with a future OTA.

Oh, and we tested supercharging. Worked flawlessly, and instantly. Plugged in, charged, moved on. Couldn't test speed cuz we were at like 92% lol, but I can't imagine it would have been slow. DDP2 worked great; automatic lane biasing was neat. HUD works; it's not perfect yet, and in the sun there is some glare, but it's still early days for the HUD. It does work, though - just takes a little getting used to because it's huge.

• How is door unlocking? With Fob, with Phone & pressing handle in?
• Will the rear hatch open manually with the button?
  • Or do you need to unlock the vehicle first like the Air?
• Does the Gravity wake up quickly from the mobile app?
• Do the mirrors unfold when you unlock the car?
  • I feel that's unnecessary until you get into the seat and start to drive
• Does the AC turn on just by unlocking the car?
  • I think that's a bit premature, should wait till you get in the vehicle
• The Air starts beeping about the seatbelt if I touch the brake, before I've put it in gear.
  • Does the Gravity do this too?
• Air audio volume is set to whatever it was last time I drove the car; which could have be loud LOL
  • Does the Gravity default to a softer volume the next time you drive the car?

It looks like the Gravity UI has a lot more "knobs and buttons" to customize the vehicles behavior; awesome! I'm hoping some of the "quirks" (IMHO) will be adjustable as well.

Thanks /keith
