Gravity UX 3.0 Media question

[EV_wings]

Hello everyone,

After watching videos for months on the Gravity, and finally seeing one in the mall in PA, I placed an order on the 4th of July. But one thing I can’t find in any of the reviews or forums has to do with the IX 3.0. Can any current owners speak to whether or not there are streaming apps such as YouTube or Netflix in the UX 3.0. On Lucid’s video, I froze it and saw a tile that said “movies” but I didn’t see anything other that that. I saw a video planing on the large 6k screen, but nothing else was described. After 7 Teslas and 2 R1Ss, I’m pretty excited about the level of luxury the Gravity has. Thanks a lot!

Thanks. Is that something that they said is on the way? Like Tesla says “two weeks” or Rivian like to say, “S00n”?

It's been hinted at, but I would guess it's not a priority. When I logged in to Spotify it asked me to authorize "Spotify for Android Automotive" so clearly the non-safety domain is hosted on a heavily customized Android base, and I assume it would be pretty easy to enable the streaming video apps. Lucid seems to really emphasize "driving" rather than "sitting around in the car", though.

That said, if you watch the demo video in Gravity (under Sanctuary mode), it does specify them along with camp mode, for example, so it’s definitely on the list.

I agree with you, but also acknowledge they need special versions or ways of enabling/disabling depending on the car's state. Can't have Netflix popping up on the cockpit display while driving!

Check out this video featuring Lucid's head of UX, David Flynt. Beginning at 17:00 he demonstrates videos and movies being played both on the glass cockpit and on the rear screen in the second row (that I thought was only for climate control). It also shows that video can continue to stream to the rear screen even when the car is being driven.

Although no time frame for activating these features was given, it clearly seems to be in the plan.

Thanks. I will check this out.
