I was wondering how Lucid is thinking about Sanctuary mode... It appears to have been totally deprioritized. No updates or new videos since the first vehicles were delivered. I understand the company has other more pressing priorities to focus on, but I wonder if they see Sanctuary as part of the "old Lucid" and that's why they do not even include it in the way they market the vehicle.
I know some people can see it as gimmicky, but I personally think it's kinda cool and one of the distintive features of the Gravity. The evolution could involve Lucid working with content creators to develop videos for the format. I know many are waiting for Lucid to finally release the access to streaming video apps, but also keep in mind that the screens' layout is not very favorable for that, as the pilot screen sits very low and having Netflix or YouTube in the right corner of the cockpit panel (like AA) would be very small.
Curious to hear what you all think...
 
If you watch some of the promo videos it appears there were a few Sanctuary videos that were created (e.g. Muir Forest) and just never released for some reason. I'm curious why they'd invested the money to create them and then didn't provide them to customers.

I agree completely, sanctuary is a unique, “must see” feature of Gravity so much more could be made of it! Surely Lucid could invite a 3rd party to make a variety of creative content

I would also love to be able to stream video content Eg Netflix, you tube etc on the front screen while parked and the rear 2nd row screen while driving ( to entertain kids, it’s supposed to be a family friendly suv)

100%. Would love this as a priority in the next update

Exactly! It's a big deal on long road trips and during charging stops. I know some people here don't like comparisons to Tesla, but that's a feature the Model X had.
 
I like it, works well as a show feature in the studios, or it would be great for a rear massaging seat in a robotaxi. Otherwise I don't spend any amount of time stationary in my car to use it much....Which is likely the reality for the majority of the world using their vehicles....
 
I really thought that it was a silly gimmick in the Gravity but we really enjoy running one of the Sanctuary Mode videos when sitting at a charger. My wife is a huge fan of the Tibetan singing bowls video. While there are other software things I'd like to see first I do hope they don't abandon this and add more!

Doesn't have to be stationary! You can use sanctuary mode without the video and the audio still couples with massage as you drive.
 
In addition to the Muir Woods, my vehicle is also missing the Joshua Tree scene and a yoga scene (does anybody else have those?). And, along somewhat similar lines, I'd love to see the true digital detox/zen mode where the entire dash except for critical information is blacked out and the critical information is presented in minimalist fashion.

ah I didn't know that.... I suppose some Chinese cars have a massage that goes with all music by now lol...
 
Would be nice to have the option of a charging time countdown in the corner.

No, no idea if they were planned and scrapped or if those are still in the works but everyone should have six total videos in three categories within Sanctuary Mode.
