- Lucid Gravity GT
Right when we were leaving for a road trip, the passenger handle in my Gravity GT stopped presenting. I had to open it for my wife from the inside. Great start to a trip!
Now it's either stuck open or stuck closed. For example, in this photo the car is locked, yet the door handle is in the open position. I reported it to service, but haven't heard back yet as it's the weekend.
This car doesn't stop surprising me every day. When I thought I've seen every error and every warning, a new one inevitably pops up. And then it repeats again and again. I'm keeping a master list, which I will post someday, but by now it's dozens and dozens of issues long.
For example, today I got this alert for the first time: "Augmented Reality HUD limited". Wat? My car doesn't even have the AR HUD.
Then, as we were pulling out of a spot, reverse sensor beeps just never stopped beeping even as I started driving. I had to pull over and reboot the car to fix the annoying sound (switching back to reverse or park didn't fix it).
The left d-pad continues to be extremely finicky, requiring multiple pressed half the time to activate Drive Assist or cancel it. The right d-pad is perfect. Many others have the same issue with just the left d-pad, it seems to be a systemic issue. And with the amount of times you have to use drive assist on a long road trip, it quickly ruins what should otherwise be a pleasant experience.
Another random issue that sometimes pops up with the drive assist is it sometimes refuses to stay on, without any errors or warnings. I turn it on, it works for several seconds, then turns off by itself. Try again, same thing. Very frustrating.
The 407-mile range our Gravity is rated for = 300 actual miles in our experience with our driving habits. It's pretty good, but it's a far cry from 400+ miles.
I was so worried about the fob battery, I packed 2 spare batteries, as the last one died after only 12 days in both my wife's and my fobs.
Several people commented on the fantastic looks of the Gravity while I was waiting in front of the hotel. They were really impressed with the physical appearance, cargo capacity, and features. And then inevitably turned off when we moved to the topic of software.
When it works, the Gravity is a dream. But because almost every single day, a new issue crops up, it's death by 1000 papercuts.
