    Gravity wins Motor Trend 2026 Best tech award for it's charging ability

    Agreed -- on our 3500 mile road trip we saved at least 4 hours on charging vs doing the same in our Model X.

    Interim CEO claims L2++ EoY and L4 by 2029

    Everybody actually working on autonomy (for the previous 20+ years) knew exactly how hard it is. CEOs trying to fluff the stock price by promising "coming soon" has no bearing on the actual work needed. Mobileye's execs and investors made *billions* off this -- including a $15.3bn acquisition...

    "Trimble Delivers Lane-Level Precision" to Gravity

    Well, all cars have satellite capability for geolocation via GPS/GNSS! Trimble's GNSS augmentation ("RTX") provides differential data via both satellite and IP networking, so I assume this is coming to the Gravity via the terrestrial mobile link (as with SXM). That's just speculation, though...

    "Trimble Delivers Lane-Level Precision" to Gravity

    Reads like a CES partnership puff piece; just making it clear to Trimble's investors that they had a win with Lucid. The relevant hardware is already present, so this (if anything) is a software update to improve positioning dead-reckoning and noise rejection to feed to the nav and drive...

    Interim CEO claims L2++ EoY and L4 by 2029

    I realize he has to say these things, but fewer promises and more delivering please. We already have one clown out there promising "FSD next year!" every year -- we don't need two.

    Is Gravity SW so bad because we're already deprecated for Nuro?

    If they're able to use the existing pilot and 2nd row displays, it's more than just providing the car. They're providing them full access to the IVI computer and interfaces, or doing all that work themselves, either way to the detriment of working on features for people who want to actually...

    Ionna rocks

    I will probably never use another FPL EVolution charger, but I'll have to do this for a dozen more piddly little local networks. By the next time I'm in Florida, I'll have to reinstall the app and create an account again, I am sure. That's why the app model is garbage -- it was like when CVS...

    Front ambient lighting while driving?

    I suspect this is a safety concern.

    Ionna rocks

    I agree with this. Last week I used an FPL EVolution charger -- it was great, but i wasted 10 minutes installing the app, verifying my email address, adding the payment method, etc, etc. Nobody wants apps for this (except for marketers who want to make a few extra pennies selling your identity...

    Gravity at CES… demos by Tier-1 Bosch and by HERE navigation

    The press should interview actual drivers to find out what we thing about HERE's "advanced EV navigation" rather than just repeating press releases.

    The Drive Review: "Best-Driving Three-Row Money Can Buy"

    "The D-pads on the steering wheel look like they are touch sensitive, but thankfully are not and require force to be pushed as they are buttons." Looks like he didn't play with the UI enough -- the D-pads are touch sensitive too. (The overlay of different functionality for swipe vs press is a...

    "Take the exit toward North Y City"

    The Natick SC complained about the same thing -- built-in nav directs people to the wrong spot. They didn't know about HERE Map Creator so I sent that over.

    Is Gravity SW so bad because we're already deprecated for Nuro?

    (And to be a bit lighter -- does Nuro depend on HERE maps too? 😂 )

    Is Gravity SW so bad because we're already deprecated for Nuro?

    Posted elsewhere, but Lucid is doing a ton of press around the Nuro partnership for CES, with lots of photos and videos: https://ir.lucidmotors.com/news-releases/news-release-details/lucid-nuro-and-uber-unveil-global-robotaxi-ces-announce Some (most?) of this is surely renders, but throughout...

    I got a shipping notification for the cargo mat today.

    Wishlist: "read only" nav for 2nd row display

    Yes, we had the KPDH soundtrack at least once on the 3500 mile round trip we got back from last night...

    Wishlist: "read only" nav for 2nd row display

    I don't understand interest in streaming video -- who wants to watch video on a tiny screen at their knees when most people have their own devices -- but having the nav view available in the 2nd row would make my kid very happy. (And make me happy because otherwise he requests the nav always be...

    I imagine it varies, but my experience was 0.39/kWh with no idle fees. https://www.ionna.com/rechargeries/find-a-rechargery/

    Ionna rocks

    Ha! I was just about to post about my Ionna experience -- while not quite as good as yours, this was the definitely the best non-Tesla charging experience and the most likely competitor if they're able to scale. The site we visited had 12 stalls (8 CCS, 4 NACS), good rates, and no idle fees...

    How Much Difference Does It Make to Have "Acoustic Laminated Privacy Glass"?

    It's hard to read that as anything more than a wishlist without some visible status updates from Lucid -- otherwise it's as much vaporware as the promises of Actually Smart Summon and FSD v14 on my 2019 Model X. There's unlikely to be more than an "oops sorry" at best if they don't deliver that...
