New Bugs Since 3.5.1

[Corplhicks]

I’ve waited a little while to post this because I wanted to see if it happened many times and now it is happening many times when I wake up in the morning, go over to my car start driving this screen is frozen. I can select it from the menu at the bottom in fact, I can go to other screens which work and then come back, but the screen is frozen once it’s on the screen no buttons work I can press anywhere on the screen and nothing happens. There’s no responsiveness. I can leave the screen and go back in. There’s nothing doing a steering wheel reset with the brake pedal gets it working again, but this is a bug that has started since the last update. I hope Lucid is listening so they can fix this quickly.

This has been happening to us, too. Sometimes it happens at start up, and sometimes it starts during a drive. The upper and lower screens will come up. You can switch from one menu to another. But in those menus you get no response to any commands. When it happens, it extends to the toggle switches and the rotary volume knob below the Pilot Screen and also to the buttons and thumb pads on the steering wheel. You cannot adjust A/C, audio volume, streaming sources, drive modes or anything else that works through the screens or buttons. At least the turn signal and gear change stalks still work.

We have also had similar problems with our Air since its recent software update. Sometimes upon startup, the driver seat will not go to its programmed setting via the Entry/Exit feature. Nor can you move the seat using either the controls on the seat bottom or the Pilot Screen. The car has to be rebooted to get underway. At other times, there is no audio in the car -- no music sound, no turn signal sound, and no chime telling you when to release the buttons for a reboot.

Lucid software updates seldom come without new bugs.

Having this dedicated bug thread is good. The “Gravity 3.5.1” thread is geared toward general feature discussion.

Some here, frozen lower screen on a couple occasions and one new wrinkle. I got in the car the other day and it refused to get into gear. That never happened before. A steering wheel reset fixed it but still frustrating. Sadly a good friend who I convinced to get a gravity has had a multitude of problems, including but not limited to a non working Fob ( replaced and still problematic) as well as huge software glitches. After 6 months she is ready to throw in the towel. Her husband refuses to drive the car and gives her multiple “ I told you so”. I feel so bad for them since this is their first electric car and I have had relatively clear sailing.

I had totally sold my brother on Lucid as a replacement for his 2018 Tesla Model 3, and he has been anxiously waiting for the Earth. Even though he knew the software issues we had the first year with our 2022 Air, he loved driving the car, and he watched from the sidelines as the software issues began to recede.

However, our experience with the Gravity has changed his mind. For starters, it was on a trip to visit him in Atlanta that our front drive unit went down. We had to leave the car at the Roswell Service Center in Atlanta for weeks and drive home in a rental car. And he's been following the blow by blow recounting of the endless -- and still expanding -- issues we're having with the software in our two Gravities.

He has only one car, and he has decided he cannot take the risk of the kind of downtime we've seen with our Gravities. He was the one who first alerted me to Lucid's presence back in 2016 and is still intrigued by Lucid and follows the brand closely. But he feels he cannot deal with owning one, at least in its first year of production. And since we're probably still a year away from seeing first Earth deliveries, he's got to move on and look beyond Lucid.

Bug report filed as per swfeedback:

My Gravity would not go into drive or reverse. The shift lever was unresponsive. I had to do the 10 seconds soft reset in order to be able to drive.

I had just finished a L2 charging session, unplugged, and got into the car with no problems. The cockpit display and the center console seemed fine, as I could navigate through the various menu items. Attached is a screenshot of all the (working) displays.

Please make this a high priority bug fix. While this didn’t faze me, I suspect most drivers would panic if they couldn’t drive their car. I’d hate for Lucid’s brake-mic-x to become synonymous with the infamous Window’s ctrl-alt-del.

I could be your brother. I had a deposit on an Air GT back in 2023 and the fear of these software frustrations pushed me to Tesla. I was hopeful that improvements would be dramatic and durable, and was trying to talk my wife into considering a Gravity - which would have been a certain divorce for me if we would have moved forward and had your kinds of problems. I still pull for Lucid because I think their products are awesome, but the way the business is run is terrible. Their recent delivery shows I’m not the only one who feels this way unfortunately.

Here is the report on today's experiences in our household with our two Gravities:

My partner took the older Gravity to play tennis. When he got to the courts he called me from the parking lot to say that the Pilot Screen had blacked out during his drive. He tried to do an X/mic/brake reboot, but the car wouldn't reboot. He asked what to do. I told him to play his match and maybe the car would reset during its sleep cycle.

It did.

This evening we took the newer Gravity to dinner. As has been happening with increasing frequency, the car wouldn't respond to the key fob, so I had to use the key card to get underway. Once we were seated at the restaurant, I went into the mobile app to see if the car was locked, as recently it also frequently fails to lock even long after we're away from it. When I opened the app, I saw this:

I knew I had not had the car in Reverse at all on this trip, and it goes into Park automatically when the driver door is opened, anyway. However, I went out to the car to check. It was in Park. After our food came, I checked the app again. But before doing so, I first logged out and back in to be sure the app had refreshed. Again, I got this:

As it happened, we were having dinner with the guys who do the "Upcurrent EVs" YouTube channel. Before I told them anything about the recent deluge of software issues we've been having with both our Gravities, I asked them how their Gravity was behaving. The first thing one of the guys said was, "it's the damndest thing, but ever since the 3.5.1 update we've had one new issue after another." The most recent issue was yesterday. He got into the Gravity and immediately got a brake system warning. He tried to do an X/mic/brake reset but found the brake pedal was "bricked" and wouldn't move. So he took his Bolt instead, hoping the Lucid issue would resolve when it went back to sleep. It did, but at this point the other guy said he has quit driving the Gravity and always takes the Bolt because he's tired of dealing with Gravity issues. (They had wanted to meet for dinner because they are prepping their 6-month Gravity ownership review for their channel. It doesn't promise to be pretty.)

When we got home, I plugged the car in and went inside the house. A few minutes later I passed the hallway to the garage and saw through the frosted glass door that the Lucid headlights and taillights were still on. As has been happening lately, the car had not powered down or locked. The Vibe lighting was on, the screens were lit, and the audio and A/C systems were still running. So I had to go back inside to get the key and my cell phone so that I could power the car down and lock it.

Sad to say, this was not an unusual day of living with our Gravities.

We also told these guys that we have scrapped our plans to drive one of the Gravities cross-country this summer. We just don't trust getting on the road with them for this kind of trip.

I have the same issue with the key fob not recognizing the car and the car not locking when I walk away... Done the reboot, changed the batteries, confirmed the current FOB software version... 3.5.1 has been a negative experience for me especially with the locking issue and I wish I could rollback. Multiple times I have returned to my car to find it unlocked as I am accustomed to all vehicles I have owned locking since 2019 so to return to the flintstones is a lift!

Does not happen every time, around 80%. I love the car and I am not complaining, I find it cathartic that I'm not alone

You’d probably do okay putting those on BaT and stopping the nonsense. Not sure how you are maintaining any sanity at this point.

Sigh . . . I guess that's what passes for good news with a Gravity these days.

Interestingly, I got the “fob battery low” warning today but I replaced it just before 3.5.1 came out. IDK. The fob is a million times better than it was when I took delivery in August 2025. Really. But it should be perfect.

PAAK and Waak are perfect on our 2026 R1S. I am hopeful Lucid gets PAAK soon. Had not carried a fob in 10+ years until I got my gravity.

I had this issue. If you change to the guest profile the vehicle screen starts working again. Then switch back to your profile and it should be working again. I haven’t had the issue come back after doing this. It’s only been a few days though.

I wouldn’t have even thought of that “workaround” nor should it be necessary. My screens were great for the first two weeks after 3.5.1 - then h th e regression started. Need another OTA to refresh everything again.

whos gonna buy a Lucid that doesn't work? Besides those of us that already did lol

Only issue I've had since 3.5.1 is inability to do a reboot when in apple car play or android Auto. It ques up the assistant and no matter what I do I can't get it to reboot.

Have to go in, disconnect from the phone and then reboot

Interestingly, I just did this successfully the other day. Just had to hold buttons a bit longer, but it worked.

Biggest “bug” is I can’t get front camera to appear on glass cockpit when parking. Surround view appears on pilot panel.
