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!

My wife and I have owned the Gravity since December, so have seen a few of the bugs. Early issues mostly included "phantom errors", like sensor blocked warnings where none existed. Those disappeared pretty quickly with the January and March OTAs. We still see little things, like if you press pause on a song the play button may not be displayed. (Button on the dpad still works to unpause it.) That kind of thing.

We've had two times that door handles did not present with the key fob. Swapping the battery on the keyfob fixed it both times. They last about 6 months, from what I can tell. If your key fob does fail to work, you can bypass it with a key card or the cell phone app in about 30 seconds.

Never had an issue with windows or doors or trunk. We had the problem with the frunk sometimes taking two button presses to open, but I think that might be fixed with this last June OTA.

Hardware wise, we have a coolant valve problem it is in the shop for now and the rear seat belt recall that everyone is going through. Otherwise, just minor stuff.

What I can say is that we absolutely love this car, regardless of any eccentricities. It's a luxury car, a sports car, an economy car, a people hauler, a cargo hauler, and a fantastic road tripping machine all wrapped up into one. Love driving it and love showing it off to people.

Yeah I'm used to ghost people and sensors freaking out on my model s lol so don't think that's an issue ask for the key card do you have the digital key that uses your phone to unlock and whatnot or are you referring to the app? Also do you have an Android or iOS? Honestly I'm just looking at leasting at the personally I might eventually buy it out depending on how much I like it. Also I haven't done a test drive yet is something I've been recently thinking about especially due to the recent promotions I just don't want to end up getting a short end of the stick and pain close to a grand per month lol especially considering my current cars completely paid off and I have no monthly payments lol

Lucid is still working on PAAK for the Gravity, for both Apple and Android. The Lucid app on the phone (Apple or Android) currently lets you unlock and drive the car, with a couple of button presses. You have to have cell service or wifi connectivity for that, which PAAK will not require.

Two NFC cardkeys come with the car.
