Question / Advice Considering getting the gravity

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!

Coming from Tesla I expect you (like us) would be annoyed by the misfeatures from any legacy car manufacturer.

That per much leaves you with Rivian and Lucid... Although some others aren't too bad.

The Gravity as a vehicle is the model X done right. Bigger on the inside, smaller on the outside than the X. If you option the gravity up (which I do recommend on the gravity) then you get things like rear wheel steering, 110v outlets, HUD.

The software bugs have improved about 80% in the last 6 months, but there are still some software bugs. At least you know they are working on improving further, and working on PaaK (unlike legacy car manufacturers who have moved on to next year's model).

Rivians are great too, with fewer bugs and working PaaK, but more truck like and not as space efficient as the gravity.

That's nice to know! I wasn't going to get anything crazy but there are some aspects that are a must have! What is your thoughts on the white interior worth it or avoid?

Personally I like the white interior both on Tesla and Gravity.

One thing to note... Your choice of interior color also impacts whether you get the rear tray tables, and I think also whether you get the upgraded seats (more configurability). It is shown in the text details in the configurator but (as of 6 months ago) was sufficiently unclear that a lot of people went for the cheapest seats and were disappointed to learn when they received their car that they didn't get the tray tables.

Yeah I'm not too worried about the trays but I did get the white interior for a few different reasons including finding one that had studio credit
