The Lucid Gravity did not include Apple CarPlay at delivery, requiring a future over-the-air update to enable it. Added via complimentary OTA (Lucid UX 3.5) starting March 2026.

Lucid Gravity vehicles are delivered with only one key fob and two key cards, instead of the expected two fobs, especially for higher-trim Dream owners. This was not clearly disclosed before purchase,...

Delivery advisors provided incorrect information on features like native Tidal/Spotify streaming availability and how to reprogram customizable hot buttons. Owners discover the truth post-delivery, er...

The Lucid Gravity owner's manual is difficult to navigate, especially for learning software features and DreamDrive hardware differences across versions. Owners find sections like 'DreamDrive Componen...

Lucid does not publicly disclose subscription pricing for connectivity features, leaving buyers unable to determine ongoing costs before purchase. This opacity prevents informed decisions on total own...

Electronic Alerts & Nags

13 issues reported

The Lucid Gravity displays frequent erroneous alerts for issues like tire pressure, headlights, rear steering, high beam assist, and sensors blocked, often due to fogging or minor triggers. These fals...

The smart key fob system repeatedly pings the car and triggers 'no key detected' warnings even when the fob is present and has a fresh battery. This drains the fob battery and annoys drivers with cons...

The driver monitoring system sends alerts for supposed distraction even during normal driving like turns, without using assisted driving features. It operates constantly and is overly sensitive.

Lane keeping assistance causes unnerving aggressive counter-steering jerks to pull the vehicle back into the lane.

Disengaging adaptive cruise control causes the vehicle to suddenly slow down dramatically, feeling like an anchor was thrown.

Automatic collision warning and braking activates too sensitively even at normal settings, leading to unwanted interventions.

Hands-free driving software quickly nags for hands on the wheel, lasting only about 10 seconds before alerting.

Touching the brake without seatbelt triggers chimes, as EVs lack a traditional 'start' to suppress it initially.

Voice assistant activates unexpectedly without commands, triggered by casual mentions of words like 'Lucid'.

Opening the front trunk triggers excessively loud external speakers.

Front passenger airbag status flips to OFF with minor seat movements, even with seatbelt fastened.

Cross traffic alert unnecessarily warns for both front and rear traffic, which owners find pointless.

Creep mode fails after one use, throwing warnings or stopping entirely.

Interface Friction

12 issues reported

The Gravity's infotainment system features multiple screens with deep, layered menus that are hard to navigate quickly, often requiring the owner's manual for basic tasks. Reviewers describe it as ove...

During phone calls via the Gravity's Bluetooth, the microphone is too quiet, making it hard for callers to hear the driver clearly. Multiple owners report this as unusable.

Accessing the third row requires moving the second row seats via side buttons, but they often require multiple presses, move slowly with loud motors, or stop prematurely. This makes passenger entry/ex...

The Gravity's flush door handles deploy slowly and feel cheap or flimsy to the touch, detracting from the premium experience. Some require multiple tries to open.

The Gravity's door releases use sliders hidden inside grab handles, confusing passengers who need instructions to open them. This leads to repeated explanations for guests.

Touch surfaces on the Gravity's screens lack haptic feedback, so drivers must glance at the screen to confirm inputs registered, increasing distraction.

The center console wireless charging pad often fails to connect reliably, requiring phone jostling to initiate charging.

The built-in HomeLink garage opener requires multiple presses to work reliably and lacks GPS-based auto-open like Tesla.

Adjusting seats and mirrors requires navigating screens without dedicated physical buttons, making it hard to find and prone to accidental touches on the outer ring.

Over-the-air (OTA) software updates deliver fixes and features to the Lucid Gravity's infotainment and vehicle systems. Owners report that despite multiple updates like 3.4.4, numerous bugs and glitch...

The infotainment system displays vehicle info, maps, and controls on large screens. After OTA updates like 3.3.2, owners experience frequent brief black screens.

The driver seat settings automatically adjust position when switching user profiles or using the restore button. Software update 3.3.9 broke this functionality, persisting after reboots but eventually...

Level 2 (AC) chargers provide home or public charging at up to 80 amps. Owners complain the Battery Management System fails to sustain high-amp charging continuously.

Lucid can use vehicle location data via Services to track and recover the vehicle if owners breach lease or finance agreements. This enables repossession without additional court orders, turning the c...

Opting out of data sharing only stops transmission to Lucid but not to third parties, and it disables key services while Lucid retains ability to push updates and retrieve firmware data. This partial ...

SiriusXM satellite radio streams via the infotainment system. It frequently fails to connect, disconnects during drives, or stops playing, requiring reboots or profile switches.

Transient error notifications and warning lights (idiot lights) appear randomly on screens for headlights, USB chargers, sensors, or faults, then disappear without clear cause.

User preferences for charging limits, suspension heights, ambient lighting, steering wheel positions, creep mode, and map views reset between drives or entries, forcing manual reconfiguration each tim...

Built-in apps like Spotify and Bluetooth audio connect but fail to play music after software updates, disappear from the menu, or glitch on playlists, fixed temporarily by profile switches.
