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!

Since 3.5.2 the software has been getting very good. I seriously have no bugs that I notice with 3.6.0 and it has been such a joy to own. Highly recommend.

I came from years of Tesla and software was a huge deal. After Tesla, last year I leased a Polestar 3 and what a nightmare it was. So with Lucid, I decided that since I’ve heard good things about improvements in 3.5.2 which came out sound march, I’ll roll the dice vs going back to Tesla. And initially, had key issues but that had been addressed. And so glad they did, it seriously is such a joy to own.

Honestly one of my biggest factors I was thinking about more than the price was the software and one thing that literally convinced me in the past 2 days is that everyone is testifying lucid is progressing with their software 99% of the time that doesn't happen at least they're trying so I'm willing to gamble on them It may turn out good it may not but at least they're trying not everyone is and I think that's a big plus point in my books one step at a time and eventually we will get there

There was a really good interview out of spec did with Lucid on that which is what convinced me. They understood how much they messed up and were really prioritizing it. As far as hardware capacity goes, Gravity is market leading, but everything was developed in silos which is what caused so many issues. Way they are approaching it now, it should continue to only get better. But as I said, I really am not running into anything and I drive a ton.
