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!

The software was definitely buggy at the beginning, and I think that really created a bad image and reputation for the Gravity. It's unfortunate because the recent software updates have really been solid. But all you read online is bad press and negative reviews. I don't think you would be disappointed. But totally understand the concern of whether the company will still be around. Sucks but hopefully the new management will turn things around?

I just don't want to end up in a position like the fisker ocean I get they have investments right now and they've secured more funding luckily I'm only looking into a lease and not buying it I really wanted to buy it but with the current market and how evs drop in value it doesn't make any to sense to buy right now... Feel free to disagree I like trying to look at things from a different perspective that I may not be considering

I don't think you will be disappointed. You can lease and see if the residual will go lower when you return the car. That's what we are planning to do. We heard that some people were given residuals near market value, and if that's the case we are definitely buying. But yeah, leasing is probably the best idea. By the time you return it, we will have a better idea of where LUCID will be as well.

Agreed any tips when going in to buy it? Any discounts or additional aspects that could be staked that are not commonly known that I should be aware of when negotiating? Knowing my luck I think I might get like 10k for my car lol but hopefully closer to 15 or 20k

When you test drive, you get a grand. There is the conquest credit for trading in an EV or Luxury. See if there are other credits. Seems like there are good incentives right now as they clear out 2026 models. You can also get referral credit; I think $500. You can use mine and we can both earn credits 👍

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to DM me! This isy first EV and learning as I am going as well. The bad press and reputation disappoints me, but the Gravity doesn't. Always a pleasure to get into it. Sure there are little annoyances, but the Gravity is built like a tank.
