Lucid Gravity Lemon Law

The Lucid Gravity launched for the 2025 model year as a ground-up, software-defined electric SUV, and first-year vehicles built on a new electrical architecture are especially prone to bugs. Owners of early builds have reported frozen or rebooting displays, glitchy driver-assist behavior, connectivity dropouts, and warning lights that come and go without a clear cause.

One issue has already risen to the level of a safety recall: on early software, the rearview camera image could fail to display when the Gravity was shifted into reverse, a violation of the federal rear-visibility standard. Lucid traced it to intermittent power-state and view signals reaching the camera system and to how errors from lower-level camera components were handled, which could leave the driver looking at a blank feed while backing up.

Lucid pushed an over-the-air software update to correct the backup-camera fault, and many electronics problems on a new platform are meant to be resolved the same way. But when an over-the-air update doesn't fix the problem, the glitch keeps returning, or the SUV sits at the service center for repeated attempts, California's Lemon Law can require Lucid to buy the vehicle back or replace it.

A recall is not automatically a lemon — it's the manufacturer acknowledging a defect and offering a free repair. California's Lemon Law (the Song-Beverly Act) comes into play when a substantial defect can't be fixed after a reasonable number of attempts, or when your Gravity has been out of service for 30 or more cumulative days.

If your Lucid Gravity qualifies, you may be entitled to a buyback (a refund of what you've paid, minus a mileage offset), a replacement vehicle, or a cash-and-keep settlement — and Lucid pays your attorney fees on a successful claim, so pursuing your case costs you nothing out of pocket.
