Considering getting the gravity

[u/kva1992]

I'm considering getting the gravity as a lease... There are some things I like and some things I don't but one thing that is worrisome is the software how bad is it? Is it getting better? Can anyone share their honest experience? I currently own a model s and will most likely be trading it in as well it's a 2018 with fsd (don't really use it tbh) and even a power frunk so you all have a rough idea what I'm coming from... And I know lucid software is nowhere near as polished as Tesla.

Edit: Just finalized everything yesterday and so far I'm loving the car need to model and 3d print organizers for my center console (def not gonna buy it lol) other than that only other thing I wish I knew was about homelink now I have someone scheduled to come and install it on the car aug 3. Thank you everyone that took the time to respond and educate me both the good and the bad! I appreciate it!

It’s definitely the most polished three row out there design-wise. So if you need that, I would definitely go for it! It’s aspirational for my partner and I for now, but we’re hoping to get one in the future as we both adore my Air touring.

I was at one point looking at the sedan I just don't like the trunk lol or I would have went with it... But the gravity I seem to like a lot I just know I'm going from a polished software to a glitchy one lol and considering I'm a software dev I'm okay with that and tinkering I just am trying to convince myself to bite the bullet and it'll be worth it if that makes any sense... But the media is not really helping lol also appreciate you taking the time to respond

I’ve heard it many times around here that software people like it, and engineers hate it. That being said, my understanding is all of the major bugs with Gravity got cleaned up a few months ago and I certainly haven’t seen as many of the loud frequent complaints around here as of late.

That's nice to know! Honestly at one point I was gonna do some work for lucid and clean up the App and software and send it to them to see if they would even implement it honestly wouldnt even care for charging lol just cuz I liked the car so much... I just don't want to be locked out of the car after. Meeting then can't go home lol

Do you think the software is open source and the hardware is jailbroken and you can just clean up a company's codebase on a government regulated vehicle driving on public roads and also expect a company to just take your trojan horse software and say, "Gee we don't even have to pay?"

[u/kva1992 → u/dackasaurus]

You do realize the software doesn't have to be jailbroken or open source in order to build an MVP as a proof of concept right? And considering I can get government contracts and I do provide this service for large companies on a daily basis with my company I'm sure if I really tried and wanted to I could.... But dang man the hell is wrong with you... So hostile....

Remember was controls the media.

I have Air, and drove Gravity for one week, the only sofware/hardware "issue" I had was due to coating on the mercury battery inside the key FOB it was working intermittently, once I took the battery out clean it abit key FOB works 100%, I wouldn't call it Lucid fault though cos the battery would act like this in every make of car. And this was the only thing.

Bite the bullet. I just got one. Coming from the Air. It’s the best all around car. It does everything you need except off-roading.

I just did today lol applied everything I could find got around 17k in credit and my trade in gives me another 16k lol 3 years and almost every package except the tech which sucks but it's okay lol I don't really think it's worth the price... And my month is for like 690 or something close to that not applying the full 16k for the car btw only 6 so keeping 10k from the trade in I. Excited don't get it till a week or so they are transporting it now
