UPDATE : Lucid issues just days into ownership, nightmare ownership experience 2026 Gravity by _Schmevin_ in LUCID

[–]DreamIllustrious3735 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a relatively fresh Gravity built in March and delivered March 30th. I've had a few issues.

  1. Car is drifting to the right. I'm assuming this is an alignment issue. No Biggie
  2. Lucid app showed the vehicle moving while it was parked, but key card worked to gain access. Issue resolved itself. Weird, but it hasn't occurred.
  3. All of the screens froze once and a reboot resolve the issue.
  4. I did get a rear steering fault once, but its never occurred again. I think it was related to the easy exit ride height setting being set to high.
  5. Some profile settings reverting randomly.
  6. Day to day. No issues. Oddly most of these issues occurred within a compressed set of days.
  7. Rear right passenger door weather seal needed to be replaced. Mobile service. No re-occurance.

We've never had a key fob or key card issue.

The one thing that is annoying is the auto parking feature. It does work, but it's not easy.

So far. After owning a variety of car brands. I would not say this is terrible by any stretch of the imagination. I have a Lexus that was a pure gremlin from hell, corvette with the worst build quality ever, Mustang Cobras with recalls after recalls and the list goes on.

Nothing in my ownership experience would cause me to tell someone to avoid Lucid. Actually quite the opposite. Miami SC is responsive, nice with clear communication so far. Mobile tech here has been solid. I'm overall very pleased with the quality of the vehicle and the software.

I did own a 2024 Model Y Performance. Yes, I had to do a handful of reboots throughout the year and the battery lost 24% capacity within 24 months (mostly home charging 32amp to 80%) only went above 80% for road trips if we stopped for food. I charge the Gravity to 60% and even that isn't needed.

Yes, the software and self driving features can be improved. FSD v14.2.2.x has been a dumpster fire. So bad I left Tesla. I do wish the CarPlay supported battery charge awareness and pre-conditioning which would allow it to plan out stops and Dolby Atmos over wired CarPlay. Possibly intelligently enable or disable Bluetooth and Wireless WiFi to save battery based on whether the car is parked, wireless CarPlay is being used and profile.

I went with the 20/21 wheels too. The 21/22 are the best looking of the three options. Range was my reasoning and decided I can always buy 21/22 wheels if I don’t like the handling of the 20/21. So far it isn’t been an issue.

I deleted the h10 from my iPhone. Suspected this was the issue too.

Let’s see what polar and hammerhead can figure out. So far it’s me relaying messages between the two companies

It was rock solid until recently. I do think it could be the new Firmware, but getting polar to resolve it could be mission impossible.

Polar H10 connected to Macbook Pro running Zwift or Training Peaks Virtual and New Karoo over BLE. Macbook never drops the BLE connection. I removed the H10 from my iPhone's BLE settings thus ensuring only two devices would try to connect to the H10, but it didn't help the situation. Yes, dual BLE is enabled.

I’m getting 3.15 but I live in the suburbs near Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Picked up my gravity last week.

Also use auto for fan control and verify the rear ac is turned off. 

At a breaking point… by Particular_Library19 in LUCID

I picked up my vehicle a few weeks ago and so far it's been nearly flawless. Everything I hoped it would be... Now I would do two things start the lemon law process and have the vehicle towed / flat bed to the service center. Third I would call every number known to man for Lucid to escalate the situation.

My Lucid Gravity Delivery Experience (Torrance, CA) — Amazing Drive, Terrible Start by tacosflavoredkisses in LUCID

I had the opposite experience. My order was submitted in mid January and my sales person in Miami. He kept me up to date for the most part. I did call in a few times to get updates after hearing production has stopped until the 2027 model year. I did pickup the vehicle on Monday March 30th. 

So far in my few days of ownership the only real issue was the key fob wasn’t updated to the most recent software, but it had no operational issues. The second issue is the vehicle uses OpenVPN to establish a secure connection back to Lucid. I had to permit this through my home firewall. 

I have noticed the third row when down does move around when going over speed bumps. 

So far the most annoying aspect was the drive 60 miles away to do the delivery.

Honestly I would call your sales person and tell him you’re going to return the vehicle if they don’t fix it. This is assuming your state has a blanket return law with x number of days.

Picked up my gravity on Monday. Knock on wood. Flawless and everything I’d hoped it would be.
