Lucid CEO: 'I Replaced The Software Team' After The Gravity's Buggy Launch
"Marc Winterhoff said he expects those final glitches to be fixed at the end of January, or "at the latest, the end of March." Marc Winterhoff said he is aware of the irony. His company, Lucid Motors, releases one of the most advanced electric vehicles the U.S. market has ever seen. That vehicle, the Lucid Gravity, has class-leading range, efficiency and fast-charging. The Gravity is a good enough platform that it's going to be used as a driverless taxi in Uber's network."
"While the Gravity was Lucid's most important launch yetan SUV that can grow the brand in ways the Lucid Air sedan could notit debuted last year with a raft of technical issues. Those problems included a glitching screen and a key fob that the vehicle sometimes couldn't recognize, preventing someone from driving away. We at InsideEVs encountered both in testing last year, which kept the otherwise-impressive Gravity from taking the top honors at the InsideEVs Breakthrough Awards."
The Lucid Gravity SUV launched with glitching screens and a key fob that often became unrecognizable, preventing driving. Lucid Motors replaced much of its software leadership after the launch and confirmed multiple personnel changes. The company expects remaining software glitches to be fixed by the end of January, or at the latest the end of March. The Gravity offers class-leading range, efficiency, and fast-charging and will serve as a platform for driverless taxis in Uber's network. Launch problems affected critical reception and awards consideration, and Lucid's chief engineer, Eric Bach, departed after more than a decade.
