Over a week with Gravity, my thoughts

[bicycleguy]

I missed that the manual also mentions a 'Driver Monitoring Camera' on 'NOTE: This feature is available only in certain regions/countries with specific trims.'

Life is too short to watch Kyle Connor videos.

So true.
Looking forward to some owner videos, although I don't blame any Gravity owner for saying "I'm kinda busy enjoying my ride".

Hellloooooo & welcome folks. Today, we’ve got a 6 hour in depth Gravity UX 3.0 video

Kyle’s great but man can he talk! Haha

Ya, Kyle also recently discovered that going slower is more efficient

The regulars in here know me well enough to know that I will call Lucid out when warranted but in this instance I think people are making mountains out of mole hills so EARLY into deliveries. I said multiple times in here that if people were expecting a flawless Gravity upon delivery even with the delays then they needed to reset their expectations. All EV's come with quirks and even more so, ALL new models come with quirks. If people can't handle that then they need to wait 12 months before jumping on the bandwagon.

Despite how much software testing you do, there is no substitute for having your product out in the real world, where your product faces countless variations and unique challenges.

It takes a lot more work to edit a video down to a reasonable size than it is to do stream-of-consciousness ....

It even suggests lane changes when you’re stuck behind slower traffic and gracefully shifts within the lane when large vehicles crowd the line.

Thanks for this great summary. I have one question: are you referring to the "lane biasing" that is included not only with DDPro 2, but also with DD Premium 2? And, if so, is it available when you are just using ACC or only when Highway Assist is being used?

I haven't tested in on ACC but will give it a shot and report back. Its working well though while on Drive Assist

I was trying my hardest to get out of any demo during delivery. I wanted to grab the keys, signed the paperwork, hand over the check and go. But alas, it still took an hour, I went home, click and tap every button and figured things out. The Homelink I couldn't figure out (sorry have to bring HL back up), but I think 90% of everything I played with, I figured out. That's the best way to learn. SA is new to Gravity as much as me, so they didn't get special training on Gravity delivery either. I do think Lucid tries and make everybody feel special and the hand holding, but to me, it's a total waste of time. I learn more during my drive home.
Half the fun is figuring things out. I thoroughly enjoy my time in my garage for an hour with the car, wife would come in and check on me. lol.

Between this forum and at least some YouTube videos, you'll learn a lot more about operating the car than you will through a Lucid Sales or Delivery person.

I've already posted on the Delivery thread about how misinformed our Delivery Advisor was about several things, including the frunk seat and many of the software features. He also didn't know that the Gravity will charge two phones wirelessly in the front console. During the orientation, he told my partner a phone would charge only in the left holder (as is the case in the Air). I interrupted to say that I thought it would charge on the right holder, too. When he insisted not, I passed my phone to him (I was sitting in the backseat) and told him to put it in the right holder. As soon as he did the phone started charging.

He was a very nice guy, but it was clear he knew close to nothing about the Gravity other than what he had figured out on his own in the few days the first two Gravities had been there for delivery prep.
