Lucid Gravity’s Sneaky UX 3.3 Update: Trailer Smarts and Camera Goodies Arrive Early
As someone who’s towed trailers with EVs and cursed at finicky apps, the latest UX 3.3 software update for the Gravity feels like Lucid’s listening to real-world gripes. Rolled out just months after production kicked off, it adds a handy trailer light check, tweaks the energy graphs for easier reading, and throws in beta access to Live View and Drive Recorder for app monitoring. It’s a small but smart refresh for this three-row electric SUV, boosting towing ease and owner convenience. Let’s break down what this means for Gravity owners and why it’s a win for Lucid’s growing lineup.
Trailer Light Check: A Tipper’s Best Friend
The Gravity’s tow package lets it haul up to 6,000 pounds, with integrated trailer brake control and a hitch camera to keep an eye on your load. Now, UX 3.3 adds a trailer light check feature that sequences the lights—brakes, turns, hazards—to confirm everything’s working before you hit the road. No more climbing out to test or relying on a buddy. You can even trigger it from the Lucid app, perfect for quick checks at a gas station or before a weekend haul. For folks like me who’s towed boats and campers, this is a game-changer, saving time and hassle on those long trips.
UI Tweaks: Energy Graphs and Range Maps Get a Glow-Up
Lucid’s also spruced up the interface for everyday use. The Energy app now has new display options for the consumption graph, making it simpler to spot patterns—like how highway driving sips battery versus city stop-go. The range map’s been refined too, showing your remaining charge’s reach more clearly, factoring in elevation and traffic. Plus, a new bookmark tile on the home screen lets you pin favorite destinations for one-tap navigation—great for regulars like work or the kids’ soccer field. These aren’t flashy, but they make the Gravity feel more intuitive, especially for new EV drivers juggling apps and screens.
Beta Perks: Live View and Drive Recorder Hit the App
Gravity owners get early access to two Halo Secure features in beta: Live View and Drive Recorder. Live View streams the SUV’s external cameras to your phone app, so you can peek in on your parked Gravity from anywhere—check if the kids left toys inside or spot a suspicious bump in the lot. Drive Recorder saves video clips of key events to a USB drive you plug in, capturing crashes or close calls automatically, with options for other moments like hard braking. It’s like a dash cam on steroids, and while Live View might go subscription-only after 2025, it’s free for now. These tools add peace of mind, especially for a $80,000+ SUV.
Why This Update Matters for Lucid Gravity Owners
Lucid’s Gravity is the brand’s second act after the Air sedan, a three-row EV SUV starting deliveries in mid-2025 with employee perks first. This UX 3.3 drop shows they’re iterating fast, addressing towing (up to 6,000 pounds) and app usability right out of the gate. The audio system’s even tuned for clearer calls, cutting background noise so you sound crisp on speakerphone. It’s small stuff, but it builds trust—Lucid’s listening as owners rack up miles.
A Solid Step Forward for Lucid’s EV Lineup
As someone who’s juggled trailer wiring and fumbled EV apps on road trips, UX 3.3 feels like Lucid’s saying, “We get it.” The trailer light check alone is a lifesaver, and the beta features add that extra layer of smarts. For a fresh SUV, it’s impressive how quickly they’re refining things. If you’re a Gravity owner, update now—it’s over-the-air and free. What do you think of these tweaks—must-have or nice-to-have?
