LUCID GRAVITY 5,000 MILE REVIEW! THE BEST DRIVING SUV CRIPPLED BY SOFTWARE ANNOYANCES

EV Channels Review

After 5,000 miles, the Lucid Gravity Grand Touring impresses with its exceptional driving dynamics, offering a premium, comfortable, and engaging experience that rivals the best in the SUV segment. The ride quality, handling, and spacious interior are standout features, making it a joy to drive. Charging performance is also a strong point, with impressive speeds on both Tesla Superchargers and high-power DC stations, complemented by an accurate route planner. However, the Gravity is significantly hampered by persistent software issues. These range from frustrating key fob and phone-as-key problems to unreliable cruise control, random false warnings, and a lack of basic features like automatic screen brightness. The software bugs, coupled with a few minor hardware annoyances like the rear trunk opening mechanism, detract heavily from the otherwise excellent hardware package, making the $120,000 vehicle feel like a prototype. Lucid's ability to address these software issues via over-the-air updates in the coming months will be critical to its success.
