Kim Java - Preview Gravity?

I’m still amazed that in the review she’s getting 3.13 mi/kwH on a roadtrip. I’m lucky to even maintain 2.58 mi/kwH. The last time I took the car to service (sat with them for almost a month), they were supposed to do a range test to see if there was something wrong with my drive train, but of course in typical Lucid Service fashion, they ignored it and then after a month without the vehicle, I was fed up with waiting for it.
 
I didn't make notes, but a couple of things:
  1. Locked in. Can we assume her smallest is unable to open a car door by herself? I mean, pull the trigger like you always do. Even if a power failure you just pull harder to engage the mechanical release.
  2. Creature Comfort. Both NotchEV and EverydayChris posted camping videos using Creature Comfort mode. They reported battery losses on the order of 1% per hour.
  3. PaaK/Keyfob. Sorry to hear she has one that's a problem. Like others, our Gravity keyfob works reliably every time. Never comes out of my pocket. The cardkey and phone app also work for us. The phone app comes up in about 5 seconds wherever I've used it. It's dependent on connectivity for both the phone and car, so location matters.
  4. FSD. Seen as a major shortcoming, but honestly only one automaker offers it. Not exactly table stakes, at this point, especially if you don't want a Tesla for other reasons.

They never said they were giving the car back. It's just that the "honeymoon" experience period is over for them - they've had enough time to fully assess the car's strengths and weaknesses.

Good point! I take back that statement. Cool
 
Mostly fair review and update but still….my god….i just want to scream and rage every time a Tesla owner complains about no FSD. I just have nothing but contempt for them now. It’s not a Tesla, you want FSD, get a Tesla, end of story. She said “we” want more automation. No, she does not speak for us all. “We” are good. Even if/when Lucid puts it in, vast majority of the time I won’t use it bc I actually enjoy driving. If I didn’t, I’d get a Tesla to do it for me. They are the only bunch that complain about it so often and it just boils my blood now 😤😤😤

Ok, I’m cool now. Good video, fair complaints even tho some, like the app connectivity issue I’ve never experienced, even when stuff was at its worst a year or so ago. Some features of the app may be wonky, but it loads and connects very quickly, and the doors open or car remote starts pretty instantly. Every time. It stinks that the consistency just isn’t there for Lucid as some I’m sure have had problems like they have. This is definitely a Licid problem that they need to keep pushing to resolve. PaaK needs to come asap too. Silly to keep taking these hits…
