To shut people upWhy release the present version when there is a new version around the corner?

It wont shut people up, that is the problem... people are going to ask for the better version. I say let people complain and just give us the best version when availableTo shut people up
There is not a single car in production that has the new version. I imagine it will be a couple of years to get everything ironed out for carmakers that wish to use it.It wont shut people up, that is the problem... people are going to ask for the better version.

I believe manufacturers will jump on board as soon as it is available and start using it. I am sure it wont be bug free but it will be the latest and greatest. My guess is Lucid working on the new version of CarPlay, not the old version.

If you have ever done anything in partnership with Apple, you know publicly saying āWeāre having trouble getting their approvalā is a sure fire way to get on their $h!t list permanently. Might be the worst possible thing you could say. Youād be better off saying āTim Cook is ugly and has poor taste in shoes.āI think we are all adults and can handle āwe are having a hard time obtaining Apple approval and we are trying to get CarPlay active by Marchā. Instead, we have to rely on āI know a guy who knows a guy who works at Lucid and he says that we will have CarPlay by Marchā.
Itās not a few months. Itās likely a year, if youāre lucky. Appleās APIs might be ready late this year, but getting your team to implement them and then get approved is no simple process. Especially if youāre not already on the ālistā of automakers Apple is already partnering with for their debut. Getting their attention is not going to be easy if youāre Lucid.I believe manufacturers will jump on board as soon as it is available and start using it.

I know that you like to compare Lucid to Apple, a lot of the time I agree. However, Apple is the 1,000 pound gorilla and Lucid is the mouse. Apple doesnāt have to do things that a new company does. Lucid needs each and every one of us to be their best advocates and when they break communication, they lose trust and cause frustration.If you have ever done anything in partnership with Apple, you know publicly saying āWeāre having trouble getting their approvalā is a sure fire way to get on their $h!t list permanently.

I guess I just donāt see the benefit of making statements that set expectations when you donāt have any way to know you can meet those expectations. It feels like you are training your customers to not believe you.
If Lucid were to say tomorrow they hope to ship CarPlay by March, would anyone believe that meant CarPlay is coming in March? I wouldnāt.

No, I wouldn't believe them at this point in time. Where's the remaining equipment for the V2H they showed off when launching the Air? Where's the cable to allow bi-directional charging? Stems back to Lucid's poor communication and they have a long way to go to improve it. It's clear they would rather remain silent than give anyone an update on anything.If Lucid were to say tomorrow they hope to ship CarPlay by March, would anyone believe that meant CarPlay is coming in March?

Umm. Wasnāt comparing Apple to Lucid. You suggested Lucid should make a statement telling us they canāt get Apple to approve. And I said that was a bad idea. For what I think are very obvious reasons.I know that you like to compare Lucid to Apple, a lot of the time I agree. However, Apple is the 1,000 pound gorilla and Lucid is the mouse.

Try saying to your spouse what you said above.

HEY! Settle down........ Full Self Driving, next week!I can think of a car company that has done this for years, and literally nobody believes a word their CEO says anymore.
I guess Iām struggling with what I see as a paradox here.No, I wouldn't believe them at this point in time. Where's the remaining equipment for the V2H they showed off when launching the Air?

I was giving just giving an example. Nobody actually knows what is going on in this case because Lucid doesnāt say. This is my whole point.Umm. Wasnāt comparing Apple to Lucid. You suggested Lucid should make a statement telling us they canāt get Apple to approve. And I said that was a bad idea. For what I think are very obvious reasons.
Your contention is that Lucid is better off saying things like āWeāre trying to get this done by March.ā Or āwe think weāll ship that in April.ā

I think that people would be a lot more forgiving for them not getting things like CarPlay out the door if they communicated about it. More communication is always the solution to no communication. I know this because I watch Dr. Phil!Feels like the problem here is getting things out the door, not how they talk about it.
It literally cannot be worse than Alexa.Probably because of this https://www.macrumors.com/2022/12/28/next-generation-carplay-features/ may be Lucid will wait and be part of this version launch?
So, stay tune and wait for that,ā Peter said
