All positive. Loving the frequent updates rolling out. Selecting the Amps is huge for those of us in warmer/humid climates who've had throttling issues on home chargers.

Custom power limits is a nice surprise!. Was there any indication of how long the update is expected to take?

Hopefully that adjustment can (or will be) available from within the Lucid App. Right now, I manually adjust amperage from my charger's app (Wallbox Pulsar Plus) to manually match excess solar output for vehicle charging.

Have to wait for folks in first wave to report in

As an aside, I'm shocked no one took your username before you!

Agreed. A nice surprise. However, many of us are able to "throttle" on our home chargers. That said, hopefully this is the start of a more mature, feature-rich charging area of the Lucid app. Perhaps we'll see true scheduling and other enhancements to follow soon.

wow, the A/C charging and hood update are really nice as well. and what's really cool to me is that the A/C charging thing is a geo-based feature, which gives me hope for maybe other geo-based features in the future! (looking at you, passive unlock disable! ;-) ).

Also excited about the frunk opening update, it is a bit of a clunker, bit cannot wait to try the hands free!

Is the update for all Airs? I have a 2025 Pure purchased a month ago and still have version 2.7.1 and the app says ‘Software is up to date.’

This is the start of the roll out. Others have mentioned a gradual rollout usually taking about 2 weeks if things go right and no issues

It takes some time to roll out to everyone (1-2 weeks generally). It's for all Air's but the hands free drive assist will only apply to cars with Dreamdrive Pro.

Thank you Domo35 & Deathlyshiv!

I think DDPro full features only work with US customers. I have the 2.7.X and I am still not able do lane change assist in Saudi

I am crossing my fingers that they will allow Saudi customers to use the hand-free drive assist. I am not sure about Europe and Canada

It takes for me normally more than 2 weeks to get the update more of 3 - 4 weeks. I am fine with that. I do not want to end up with a bricked car

 

[plarche]

At least for me, in Canada, the lane change assist works about half the time. Some days it works flawlessly, while on others it won't engage at all.

This might be the first time there's been a date for a release and nobody from the forum apparently received it on that day. Hopefully we'll start seeing reports today if the rollout started yesterday. This is a big one, very excited about it!

Wait, my post made no sense...DreamDrive (OP) got the update yesterday, right?

Yes, if you review this thread and every other update thread from the past, you'll see that not everyone receives it at the same time. They roll it out in waves of varying sizes, and sometimes the rollout is paused based on issues that are discovered by the initial groups that weren't found during internal acceptance testing.
