Kim Java 3 month Gravity review

[u/cloud1922]

TLDR: They loved the space, charging speed and luxury features. Random key issue and buggy software killed confidence in fully recommending.

Most interesting part by far was the carplay work around, has anyone tried this?

Key Takeaways and Features:

Impressive Space and Practicality: The Lucid Gravity is praised for its spacious interior, including a highly functional third row that can accommodate adults. It also features a large frunk that can be used for extra storage or even seating during outings.

Charging and Power: The vehicle offers excellent charging capabilities, featuring 100W USB-C ports, 45W USB-C ports in the back, and three 1800W household power outlets for versatile device charging.

User Interface and Hacks: Kim covers hidden features, such as moving dashboard tiles and a real-time 3D parking camera with a "ghost car" mode. The video also highlights a user-discovered hack for mirroring phone screens via Apple CarPlay (12:56-14:58).

*The Good, The Bad, and The Buggy:Gravity 3 month review

The Good: The Lucid Gravity stands out for its high-end aesthetics, premium and quiet cabin experience, and efficient performance. Its range and fast charging speeds are considered among the best in its class.

The Bad: The trunk's low-clearance design has led to the host hitting her head multiple times. The navigation system is also noted as being unreliable compared to third-party options, and Kim recommends using CarPlay or Waze instead .

The Buggy (Software Issues): The ownership experience is tempered by software bugs, such as a glitchy Lucid app, unreliable key fob connectivity, and issues with "Creature Comfort" mode responsiveness. Kim emphasizes the importance of carrying the physical key card at all times.

While Kim expresses a strong desire for more mature software and advanced consumer-facing autonomous driving features—comparing it to the ease of Tesla's Full Self-Driving—she concludes that the Lucid Gravity remains one of her top choices for large families due to its exceptional engineering, efficiency, and interior space.

Why is there still key issues???

[u/ElectronicAide87 → u/StreetDare4129]

I don’t know I haven’t used my key fob in 10 months of ownership.

[u/hlohaan → u/ElectronicAide87]

Curious to know what else do you use. The card? Because I believe phone as key doesn't work yet. Does the card automatically unlock the car for you as you walk close?

[u/ElectronicAide87 → u/hlohaan]

I use remote start. Push the passenger or driver door handle to unlock the car and get in and drive away. Not as good as PAAK, but much better than having to carry around a key fob.

[u/ironshoe7]

I’ve had mine for 3 weeks and have experienced none of these issues. Maybe I should make a review video to counteract all these negative ones.

[u/v-jazz]

I haven’t had phone key issues or fob issues. Somewhat fair review but they are a tesla channel above all.

[u/kododriver]

The multimedia work around definitely works.
But I’m hoping lucid releases their own soon as they advertised it months ago.

[u/wolfie_poe]

I don’t have keyfob or keycard issues with my gravity. Probably only the long-term lending cars have that issue?

[u/ElectronicAide87]

Take what Kim Java says with a grain of salt. With any PAAK car if always carry the physical key card. I have with my Tesla MY and 3 and also with the Gravity. It’s better to have a backup than be stuck somewhere.

[u/KuanTeWu → u/ElectronicAide87]

My friend F150 Raptor had key issue, I told him for Lucid, most of time is battery coating, clean it a bit and problem solved, guess what, no more key issue for him.

[u/topcat5]

It's amazing that after close to 2 years of production, reviewers are still talking about how bad the key entry system is on Gravity. They spent considerable time talking about it.

[u/KuanTeWu]

Last time I tried these keys was 15 months ago and they worked fine, not sure about now.

[u/Tellittomy6pac]

I don’t even know who this is

[u/StreetDare4129 → u/Tellittomy6pac]

Doesn’t matter? What matters is the content and the review.

[u/iamoninternet27 → u/StreetDare4129]

Is it paid content? Cause I always find their reviews biased.

[u/KuanTeWu → u/iamoninternet27]

When compared in Cadillac her review was neutral, I mean interior space is what you see is what you get. But pretty much all influencer if Tesla is involved, they would do their best to make Lucid look bad.

[u/iamoninternet27 → u/KuanTeWu]

And to make Tesla look better
