Lucid Gravity 3.4.0 software update

Bugs will always be there. Just not severe or terribly noticeable. And certainly much less frequent. Expecting anything else would be naive I agree.
Totally agree. Even my 2016 Mercedes non-EV that I replace with Gravity, had the occasional (once very 6-9 months) error code that would pop up and then disappear at next start-up. But the key fob never once, in over 9 years, fail to open and start the car. Except once due to dead 12v battery.
 
Funny thing I forgot to post about. When we got our car, it seemed that the right hand repeater camera (used for blind spot) was really fuzzy. I had read reports of there being camera software or hardware issues, so was going to bring it in for service. I decided to wash the car and give it its first was, and guess what?
I found a piece of removal plastic film over the camera lens. That was an easy fix I guess...
 
The left touch pad is another very noticeable improvement. Cruise control and DDP controls have gone from flaky to reliable. I haven’t driven enough to get a sense of failure rate, but I don’t recall having to do repeated button presses for my inputs to register in my two drives since the update.
I wonder how many steering wheels were mistakenly replaced, causing vehicles to jam up Service Centers and waste valuable resource time due to what now seems like a software issue all along.
 
Although it may be a bit premature to judge 3.4.1, it feels like this is the software that should have been released with the Gravity. The early reviews may have painted a very different picture of the Gravity and enabled it to win SUV of the year.
Well, as the software just came out now, in 2026, it would have missed all 2025 awards, even the ones it did win.
 
I wish everyone to get their 3.4.1 update soon. It feels quite different , almost like a new car.

I was in denial the last few months when reviewers said the Gravity was not a ‘finished’ car. I was making excuses in my head as to why it was fine and not a big issue to deal with the quirks. But clearly now this feels like a finished car. Something I would recommend to any friend or family member to purchase and know that they will have an amazing experience. It took a year, but imagine if the reviews for this car had this software maturity.

It also makes me wonder about the ‘old’ software team. Was it really that they didn’t know what to do? Or did it just take this long to get to the right answers? How much do we credit Emad for success on the software side versus just time? Either way, super happy to have this update.
Good questions about the old software team and how much credit goes to Emad.

So close, but Jon Gruden (Emad Dlala) got the win.

There was a lot of debate on this forum whether Lucid had simply put some cheaper 720p cameras into the blind spots , or that they had put cheap plastic touch pads into the wheels, and it just never made sense to me.

What’s still incredible to me , as a non-engineer 15 years into EV ownership, is how much can improve in these cars with software updates. Such a cool era.

I think the old software team knew what they were doing, but they just weren’t given enough time to finish it. I don’t think the “new “leadership has anything to do with the quality or timing of this release… But that’s just my guess.


Doing a car with 100% new hardware and 100% new software in two years is just impossible… And everyone had to know that. It looks to me like someone made the decision to ship that car before they were done, and the old software leadership team was just used as the scapegoat for that decision.

Sometimes it’s amazing what even six more months of coding and testing can do to approve the quality of a product…
 
Got mine on Friday afternoon (in Colorado), and so far, so great. Echoing pretty much everything that others have already mentioned. Best (for me) is NO MORE WHISTLING from the vents, and heating function seems much more efficient.
 
My update impressions of 3.4.1 after one day.

First thing I noticed was the lack of whistling from the fans like I pretty much always had when I used the app to pre-heat the cabin. No more turning off and then turning back on the rear HVAC to get the whistling to stop!

The Pilot Panel is quite a bit more responsive. After the 3.3.20 update, I would still get a lot of lag, particularly when switching to the seat screen. Lucid obviously stripped out quite a bit of functionality from the seats page and say they will re-add at least the seat adjustments back in a future update. Clearly there was some issue with how the seat adjustments and/or seat color determination were programmed that was causing a lot of lag.

I AC charged it last night. The charger automatically stops charging at 6 am due to electricity pricing changes and it regularly stops before hitting my 80% charge limit. I used to get and, unfortunately, still get no charge power alerts on my phone every time the vehicle wakes up. I find it very annoying and I end up unplugging it just to stop the alerts from popping up. Maybe this will be fixed in a future update.

When I had my GGT on WiFi at home, I was having issues with it being offline whenever I left my house. As with others, I found that turning off WiFi kept my GGT online all the time, so I turned it off and left it off. With this update, I am leaving WiFi on. In my first test, vehicle stayed online after I left the house and I was able to turn on heat from the app while at my destination. A sample size of one, but it is a start.

I was also regularly having an issue where the parking cameras would function as I was pulling into parking space and then go black with an error popping up on the screen saying that camera were not working and that I needed to reboot the car. I also would regularly get an error that video recording was unavailable when I put the vehicle in park, whether the cameras were working or not. So far, I have not had either of these issues since the update.

The last easily repeatable issue I’ve been having is the Dream Drive Limited error when driving into the sun when it is at a low angle. Today, it is cloudy and snowy, so I will have to test that another day.

When I have my entire family in the car, the windows regularly fog up badly and the defroster could barely keep up. I was not able to test this today, either.

Here is a weird thing - after installing the update, it changed by my and my wife's easy entry settings to put the suspension in the low setting. We have always left it in the standard height before and neither of us have any recollection of changing it. I changed it back to standard height and that has remained so I think it was just a one-off thing with the update.

More testing to come but, so far, this is another clear step in the right direction. Kudos to Lucid.

I find it hard to believe that the very recent management change would have such an impact so quickly on such a comprehensive improvement in this update.This update has been underway for months. Plus, I doubt the people fixing and rewriting code were all fired and the new code was written by people who were recently hired - I think it was more of a management change that redirects priorities as they move forward. But, we’ll never know for sure.

We'll just have to wait for the Netflix documentary.
 
Reading so many of these comments has given me a bit more peace of mind.

Nothing has happened in Ontario, Canada, yet. I’ve already installed the firmware update for the key fob, but I can’t say if it made a difference. I’m just waiting for the big update.

I’m not sure about you all, but I’ve been frustrated with the glitches and bugs since I took delivery. I’m even considering returning the car or selling it because the software shouldn’t be delivered in this state.

Looking at LinkedIn, it appears the software leadership teams changes were around May last year. I suspect the software engineers kept working the whole time, and maybe were even more productive bug fixers without managers misdirecting them.
 
Only have one trip, but when i got back in the car from a rest stop, the seat screen was on instead of the nav screen that was on when i left.

LED lighting stayed green, when usually it revert back to white.

It did not fix my problem that pressing up on the windows makes the windows go down until they are all the way down and then i can put them back up.

Cameras are crisper.

Did not receive any beam assist errors.

Lane keeping assist was less violent.

That might be a hardware issue; others on here have had their window regulator replaced and it fixed the issue

Your observation on lane keeping is spot on! Lane change and lane keep are smoother, more confident. It felt very close to Tesla Autopilot quality. I don’t think it can handle super curvy roads yet and I’m not sure it properly slows down for those curves. But will be testing this soon.

I am looking (grasping?) for evidence that DDP will elevate to hands free very soon and that maybe point to point level 2++ isn’t far behind. That, plus PAAK are at the top of my refreshed wish list.
