Software Improvements and Features Suggestions

[Science]

This is also me…. Had to turn off the Auto Unlock feature, I hope to enable it once we can “exclude home”.
Minor inconvenience for me, I’m used to operating my lock/unlock manually at this point.

Hmm..I wonder if this is related to Lucid's announced "important cloud update" scheduled for today/tomorrow?

Just a guess, but I suspect they're adding window control to the app, which may need cloud changes

Window control is already in the App. It's only available on Gravity though.

It's locally controlled, doesn't need the cloud, so I wouldn't think so.

And you can currently use it with Home Assistant for both Air and Gravity.

They’re probably updating some servers. Who knows

the auto lock / unlock setting? anyway, hoping for some new little unannounced feature. but to me, any cloud updates are good updates.

Sorry, I meant window control.

I admittedly have not read most but not all of the 10+ pages of this thread, so apologies if this has been covered. I would love to see some revisions to the auto unlock feature. This is not the same complaint that it takes too long; sort of the opposite. Ideally, the car would not auto unlock and the relock when in my garage. A second best would be more than the 30 seconds or so before it re-locks and then auto unlocks again. Every time I go into my garage to get something or take the other car, it cycles through the unlock/lock process until it turns itself off. Of course, then when I am intending to get in the Lucid, the feature has been disabled. And I am simply not focussed enough to remember to leave my phone in the house each time. Maybe it is me that needs better programming, but I am on version 58.5 and have no realistic expectation that future updates will solve my issues.

Agreed. Auto lock is too fast. An alternate improvement is to disable auto lock when you are home.

You have to train yourself to think that you are going out (in your car) every time you go to the garage.. Basically convert that "unwanted unlock happening" into "wanted unlock not happening" - problem solved

It's all about perspective!

Yes, in the above case, with autolock disabled, you would have to push the door handle to open the car. The other way to reactivate autolock is by opening your doors through the app. That resets autolock. I did notice that the latest update disables autolock after fewer cycles. A manual activate/deactivate switch on the app (or better yet geofenced linked) would be a great software improvement

After driving the Gravity DE for a few weeks, I can definitely recommend a few (seemingly simple) software improvements:

1) Ability to use the right sided touch pad buttons to cycle through My Favorite channels that I have starred in the list.

2) Ability to have mixed media sources saved as one "My Favorites"...ex: Have a mix of SiriusXM channels AND regular radio stations all one the same list without having to switch audio sources and then pull up a separate favorites list. Also, have the Favorites list be the default list that loads every time when you get in the car.

3) Ability to save Hold/Creep setting. It seems to default to Hold every time I get in the car. I'm in the minority of people that prefer Creep mode and I have to change that setting every time I drive the car. I'm not sure if this happens intentionally as part of the EPA rating stuff (like some ICE cars have a default mode that turns the engines off at stoplights to obtain a certain MPG rating) or if this is an oversite or a glitch.

4) And just for good measure... Android Auto in the Gravity would be great!

Interestng. I thought Air would get the featues Gravity has at some point. Not the other way around. Those who own Gravity and Air can check Navigation some places example Costco Fremont, CA and Trader Joe's Fremont, CA.. I think Gravity was going to the parking lot where Air was going to the street behind purely based on the street address. Both have the same maps. Can someone confirm what I noticed in a demo in Gravity vs Air I have?

Hold and Creep are separate independent vehicle setting in the Air. Hold engages after you stop. Just hit accelerator to go. Creep is like an ICE car idling. It is engaged when you tap the accelerator. Foot on brake to control creep speed.
