Too Frustrating

[prodolf]

If you want a reliable car from the get go , then do not take first year of any model of cars

All new models regardless of which brand they come with their own issues period

I prefer to get any model from 2nd or 3rd year where they worked out everything or at least all issues have been known and expectations are expected no surprises

If you take gravity you MUST know what you are doing or leave it for someone who really wants one they are in short supply like original sriracha sauce

​

To be fair, I was an early adopter of both the Model S and the Rivian R1T and the challenges I'm facing with my Gravity are an order of magnitude greater than my experiences with those vehicles. I also purchased a Land Rover Defender Launch Edition in early 2020 when it first arrived in the US and did not experience any of the types of challenges by Gravity is having. Simply saying that all early build models have issues doesn't align with my personal experiences.

Other than the keys not working right issue, I had far more issues from my 1st Gen Taycan. The key failure is critical, but the other items I've experienced are annoying but par for the course of new platforms. I've always been a bleeding edge tech guy and my last 4 vehicles have been as well and it is all to be expected, even when it absolutely sucks to get something like a 100k paper weight bc of an issue, but I knew what I was signing up for. Just like the other auto and tech makers, Lucid will improve or die off ( which I CERTAINLY believe the former). If some folks aren't prepared for that, it's totally OK, but this car and this life (I'm speaking to the OP here) is not for you. It's ok to take your money elsewhere and circle back in a few years maybe and take another look.
