Android Auto Thursday

As a reminder, the Andromeda galaxy is hurtling towards us at 250,000 mph and in a few billion years it will collide with the Milky Way and none of this will matter anyway.

Until then, I hope all the AA fans get what they are hoping for in due time and it’s everything they hoped for.

Or maybe it isn’t, and it is the defense of those without an argument to resort to ad hominem attacks, which is a logical fallacy.

Attack the argument, not the person making it. And if you don’t have a good argument to make, that’s fine, but then politely bow out because ad hominems never move anything forward.


It is silly. That’s why it’s supposed to be fun.


Thanks.


Did you read anything I wrote?


The implication here is that we don’t complain, so I’ll reiterate: it seems clear you didn’t read anything I wrote.


I have no idea. I’m not your wife.

I do assume that if your wife came home and gave you some bad news, like the grocery store was out of milk, you wouldn’t immediately go “you didn’t try hard enough, you should go to another store, you probably didn’t even look in the right section, and I’m surprised you even made it home with how dumb you are and how badly you drive” or you wouldn’t have a wife very much longer.

There are people on the other side of the comments you make. Some of them even work at Lucid, building the very car you want them to improve.

Attack the argument. Not the people. That shouldn’t be hard. If it is, reconsider your argument entirely.

Aka. don't shoot the Messenger.
Access is key. Lucid employees monitor this forum. Respectful, constructive suggestions will be more likely resinate than those buried in negative comments
.
In the past 2 months I personally know 3 families who lost everything in house fires, so when I read about people having to wait a whole minute for there car to wake up, I consider them lucky that this is their biggest problem in life (or so it appears)

In 2007, our house burned to the ground during the wildfires here in San Diego. We literally lost everything. We only had time to get the kids and the dogs out of the house. It did help me gain perspective. I do think it is important to also sweat the small things, but since then, they just don’t bother me as much.

This is, after all, an automotive forum, so I included a picture of how a car looks when it’s been burned. This was my one month old M6 convertible.

I have to say the community built around lucid on this forum is really an incredible one. Probably one of the most human, adult, fair and balanced forums I've run into. I surprisingly learn a lot about the car, the people that tirelessly work to keep this place sane, and astronomical information.

Well no not completely, but there is a certain group that does do the defending. If you're sick of hearing that...maybe it's because it's true. Just as you're sick of hearing a group of us complain. First to admit, I come here to vent. It's silly. But it's true. And I've never called anyone a bad name or been degrading...ever. Have I called people silly? Sure. I'm silly. This whole this is a group of adult men arguing about cars haha.

It's the silliest man-est thing ever.

So hey listen, my deepest apologies for being rude or conveying disrespect. You guys are the Lucid Defenders. And some of us are complainers. We each play a role lol. You guys undoubtedly make the company better, as do people being discontent with their product. Each is a desire to improve what we love. How do you think my wife gets me to change my behavior?

Could this be the holdup? Airs don't have 5GHz

With the recent Android Auto 13.3 update, which has been rolling out widely in recent weeks, Google says that an issue with devices being told they couldn’t use Android Auto due to a lack of 5GHz Wi-Fi support should now be fixed. Affected users saw a notification that their “phone doesn’t support 5GHz Wi-Fi connections” This was apparently sent in error, as while 5GHz is required for wireless connections, it is not needed for wired connections. This issue was trending on Google’s forums for a few weeks, any seems to have affected a large number of users.
