Software version 3.3.2

I feel like I’m probably beating a dead horse. But when you only have one vehicle, these bugs make a huge difference. I’m pretty patient since I work in tech consulting but for my technology illiterate spouse to get in a car with black screens and can’t play music for the kid on the way to school or use the gps is just beyond frustrating. I hope they can fix this quick. I had one drive where the screens never came off black until I got out the car 5 minutes later.

Agree. I had that issue for seven minutes and had to wait until I parked to do a reset. Which took a couple of minutes longer than usual, but did work…
 
I was just notified that 3.3.2 was available. I have yet to be able to test it.
 
I think someone else posted this workaround/prepping procedure to avoid the lengthy 'blank screen' startup/reboot when entering the vehicle. When I can remember to do it, I remotely start climate control a few minutes before I get in the car. I think this gives the reboot a head start and clears any random warnings that might pop up. It's not ideal and I am sure Lucid will fix but this prep has worked every time for me. Temporary solution.

Nice pro tip. It’s almost pre warming season anyway.

I just updated and joined this forum within minutes (after stalking you all for the last couple weeks to see how other early Gravity owners are faring) and am now a little more concerned, lol.

I absolutely love this vehicle, but I had every access issue described finally pop up today. I've had a couple key fob detected glitches that led to intense frustration and a couple late arrivals to work before, but they always self resolved or resetting by battery worked. Today I had it refuse to leave the garage because it wouldn't detect the fob and although it would unlock fine with the card, it wouldn't start with it. That self resolved after a few minutes but I never leave *that* early for work and got rid of my previous vehicle last week, so that wasn't ideal. Then at lunch the fob was dead again, but keycard unlocked it. Then the screens simply would not turn on. I could use climate in the app and the car was awake/communicating, but I could not start the vehicle/drive it and the screens would not wake up. I had limited time so I just cooled off in the vehicle and doom-scrolled, but I was in it 30 minutes and it still didn't wake up/allow it to drive. Locked it by card and crossed my fingers. Finished out the day and thankfully keycard worked fine, things lit up, and made it home without incident. Reset the fob just now and it's alive again and seemingly fine, but I also just installed 3.3.2 (I already had working live view since delivery but didn't have .2 until today) sooooo we'll see.

FWIW I’ve had zero issues on 3.3.2 getting it to drive and haven’t needed to reset the fob anymore. Definitely do a long reboot though (hold steering wheel X and Mic And brake and continue to hold it after the first chime and release when you hear the second chime).
 
WOW. MY DUDES. iOS26 combined with the latest Lucid app wakes the car in less than 5 seconds. Before the latest app and iOS26 it took 60 to never seconds, now it’s less than 5 seconds. I timed it. They’re definitely making improvements quickly. Live view still takes 60 to never seconds but that’s a beta still so whatever.

With the last update of the app and 3.3.2 it took about five seconds to wake the car. Prior to that, with the 3.3.1, it took a lot longer. Interesting to hear your car behaved a bit differently.
 
Huh, the latest version of the app was less than 1 day old when I downloaded it but you couldn’t use it without iOs26. On 3.2.2 before I got iOS26 and the newest Lucid app it would take forever to wake the car, sometimes never which was annoying cuz I couldn’t pre-heat it and it was cold yesterday. Now it’s faster than my wife’s Volvo app.

Just to clarify, you mean 3.3.2, right?

IDK, the car and the app have an interesting relationship - much like the Gravity and its owner/driver! So, wouldn’t surprise me if the updates kind of “nudged” something in the car to get it to wake faster.

But yes, the car wakes incredibly fast now. Much faster than our R1S, which has always been sleepy. And basically as fast as our X - which is a great thing.

3.3.3 must be close as they updated the app just before the prior to car SW updates.
 
Yeah I mean 3.3.2, I get repeated numbers backwards often.
 
Quick update - got the car back.
1. Re-loaded the android module (not replace)
2. Replace the NFC unit in the center console

Back home and charging. 🤞 So far so good.

A couple of oddities I noticed (and can replicate every time)
1. Speeds around 75MPH I can still hear the booming sound - it's definitely lower in volume now with the entertainment system working, but seems the front motor is working overtime to maintain speed.
2. Mcdonalds bug: <-- Video. Searching for nearby McDonalds and somehow the maps doesn't show the closest McDonalds! :( even though it is right there on the map. I have updated the maps, used offline maps, connected to wifi / etc, different locations. No dice. Can someone else try to replicate it ?

Re: 2; I know this is dumb, but does it work if you add the apostrophe before the S?

The iOS widget also shows a Gravity now, instead of the previous bronze Air, and pulls the dynamic range, instead of the EPA range.
 
Last night we had a nice family drive to the city for dinner. After getting back to the car and getting inside, screens lit up, music resumed, the usual "not detecting the key" message pops up, which I learned to ignore by now. However, this time it won't go into drive. No big deal, I expertly execute hard 30 seconds Alt-Ctrl-Del sequence, car reboots, but still not getting into drive mode. This is new to me, but I remember fellow forum members describing this issue, so I pull the battery cover on my keyfob, pull the battery, hold unlock key while popping the battery back in, and we drive home laughing it off like nothing happened.
Can you imagine someone less technical, not reading this forum every day, not knowing the "rain dance" rituals needed to get the $120k car moving again, late at night in a parking garage in the city with their family in tow, frantically calling roadside assistance or Uber to get home?
I'm still somewhat OK with being Lucid's guinea pig, having this forum to support each other, but this is not an OK behavior of a car company putting their customers into such situations without a warning. I think this deserves an NHTSA investigation, possible recall, and a serious reputational black eye, so people in charge can start taking it more seriously.
BTW, I called Lucid Customer Service 2 days ago and got a case number for my DreamDrive not working. Was promised a call back, but so far no one called.

It doesn’t always pull dynamic. A week ir so ago my app only showed dynamic range for a couple of hours. Then I tapped the range and it switched to rated…and now it won’t switch back. Just switches to percent or rated. I have rated showing IN the car, so perhaps the app shows whatever you have it set to in the car?
 
Need some suggestions.

Live View in the Android app continues to not connect for me.
Running the latest version, Wi-Fi off for car and phone.
I've tried a force stop and restart of the app.
Tried with and w/o usb stick.

Worked the first few days after the feature was added with 3.3.1, but no connection since.
Update to 3.3.2 didn't help.
Getting the message "Connection Failed".

@archon810 I recall you were also having connection issues.
Have you solved it?

Agreed. Until the various key issues are 100% resolved, all Gravity deliveries should include a full tutorial on how to do steering wheel reset and key fob battery removal reset.
