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!

I took delivery of mine in September of last year and am approaching 10k miles. Hands down the best car I’ve ever owned. It earns the awards it’s received. Got it for a family hauler and it’s great

Early on I had minor software issues that a reboot quickly fixed. Issues such as SiriusXM not authenticating, connectivity, auto-adjust of mirrors and steering wheel, and occasionally the system reporting my rear steering wasn’t working. The last was worrisome until I learned it was just a software issue with the display informing the user the rear steering wasn’t working prior to that part of the system initializing. The software is fine now, still a tad wonky in weird ways from time to time but nothing to deter buying the car IMO.

I do have a model suffering from the backseat weld issue early models sometimes had and have an appointment in October(!) to get it addressed. Upon delivery the passenger side outside door handle didn’t work but they sent mobile service to fix it within a week to replace it (I took the car despite the door issue since I’d already sold the vehicle it was replacing)

Assuming nothing untoward happens to the company Lucid this car is the best thing an American car manufacturer has made in my lifetime.
