OTA Update 2.7.0

[sri]

Guys, whether it's for the Sapphire only or not, @hmp10 's point remains.

Yes, the other posts point also remains since this update will not bring anything to them. Its not wrong but its fact unless like other updates were things are changed in the back but not mentioned in particular.

Maybe I missed something. Where does it say for Sapphire only?

But even so, to still be fine tuning what every reviewer says is the pinnacle of sedan performance in every dimension is notable.

One of Peter Rawlinson’s lasting contributions to automotive history is the determination he built in a car company to never stop seeking perfection. It might, though, also be the reason he’s no longer there. But the legacy remains. No one has ever put two new cars based on new propulsion technology on the road and have them shoot straight to the top automotive awards upon launch. And the Gravity might turn out to be his third.

Dude's a genius like a real engineering Genius not a cosplaying one like that other dude!

I miss Peter dearly!!

I never said it didn't. I was highlighting Hmp's point about innovating our cars whether Sapphire or not four plus years later when other manufacturers would have long moved on.

This one was Sapphire specific

If by FSD you mean hands-free Drive Assist, it’ll come.

If by FSD you mean Waymo-style city driving, I wouldn’t hold your breath.

I don't think this vehicle will get anywhere NEAR SAE Level 5, or even 4. I meant level 3. Does it have the necessary hardware capability to perform level 4? I think so, but I don't know how long Lucid will provide SW updates to their older models.

Yes between the new Trofeo RS tires and track testing in Europe/Nurburgring they found some things they wanted to tweak on the Sapphire.

Oops, I looked over the notes too quickly. Sorry if I sowed any confusion.

So..... I've had a several hours with AA. I'm on Android 15 on my Galaxy Fold 5 (upgrading to the Fold 7 when it's released in August) and everything seems to work well but..... Atmos tracks through Tidal!! They aren't playing and the music has taken a significant hit through AA. Based on this alone, I likely won't be using AA much same as CarPlay until they enable Atmos tracks via Tidal.

If I'm missing a setting, please let me know. For those that know me SSPro and Atmos is a VERY big deal to me.

Thanks!

I don't think they have enabled ATMOS on CarPlay or AA. Only through the native Tidal app.

You'll likely need to reboot the infotainment after receiving 2.7.0 to restart car audio and Android Auto. Use the steering wheel buttons reset as mentioned in the owners' manual, or the equivalent logo reset on the Settings-About screen.

Given 3+ decades of dealing with software updates, my method is to reboot before applying the OTA update, and then rebooting again after.

Which reboot method do you use?

Rebooting *during* installation is not recommended though, right?

I had been just using the Air Logo reboot because I thought I had read at one point that the brake+buttons method wasn't actually recommended, but that no longer seems to be the case?

Yes, I don't think the brake-buttons are to be avoided these days.
As far as I know, the logo method reboots the infotainment system only. Correct?
How would that affect the whole OS?
I'm kind of clueless for these things.

I'm not sure about the specifics. I know that my entire instrument cluster turns off and appears to start fresh during a logo reboot.

I'm surprised at how many posters are saying that this update does nothing of any interest to them other than getting Android Auto.

As someone for whom the driving experience means more than how many software features are in a car, I took particular note of this phrase in the release notes for 2.7..0:

"New electronic damper tuning for improved vehicle ride & handling experience."

For an automaker that, over three years ago, put the finest combination of ride and handling on the road that I have ever driven to still be working on fine tuning that experience is something I find remarkable. So many automakers, especially one with relatively small staffing, would have called it a day and long since moved on to other things. It is another of those signs that Lucid is packed with true gear heads, placing it among the finest automotive engineering houses on the planet right now . . . maybe even the finest if the early reviews of driving the Gravity are any indication.

Until you find the inevitable comments, "I wish they had left the ride & handling tuning alone, I liked it better the way it was". You know it's coming.

Lol @Lucken. I haven't gotten the update but I'm itching to complain about something - right now it's how slow the roll out is. When I get it, it will be how I wish I could turn it back to 2.6.16

They're identical in function and both reboot only the infotainment system.
The official method, right there in your owners' manual, is to use the steering wheel buttons.

So why was this called a nuclear option in the past? Wasn't there some concern about wiping out the data log?
