Well, can you think of a plausible scenario where software subscriptions provide half a car company's income? As near as I can tell, the only really successful (money making) vehicle subscription is Teslas FSD.

So, my translation of this is: we are going to flame-out in a huge way and go out of business. Very sad to see this kind of nonsense being espoused by a company whose hardware is so outstanding.

It was my apparently wrong impression that OBD-II ports were mandatory for all cars. I guess there is some sort of legal exemption, but that just seems like a terrible idea. Do you know anything about the origins of the decision to leave it out?

Not if it costs them new customers because they spent time and money chasing something that is probably undeliverable by them at the expense of making more basic software features work.

Lucid struggles to deliver robust software for their own projects; doing development work on someone else's doesn't seem like a benefit to people who own Lucids- but maybe Uber made them an offer they couldn't refuse. I'm guessing NVidia is going to want to get paid to use what they develop........

I find it disturbing Lucid is putting lots of money and resources into this and that foolish robotaxi (how the heck is that ever going to be profitable?) Assuring all the cars current features work in a rock solid, reliable manner will sell a lot more cars than chasing a marginal features of...

Good thinking!

Yes. Standard length motorcycles just can't put the power down to beat the new generation of insane cars.

I need a cigarette

When the Model S Plaid came out, I lusted for one, but knew I wouldn't buy my "retirement car" until this year. Then: 1. Elon outed himself (really 90% of the reason I would never buy a Tesla) 2. Tesla only comes with glass roof, which I hate 3. My friend's Model X was one of the loudest non...

This is really the absolute beauty of EVs- having gigantic horsepower doesn't compromise the drivability, mileage, or utility of the cars

3.01 m/kWh seems outstanding to me for a vehicle the size of a Gravity. I'm sure someone, sometime can achieve 3.55, but that has to be vanishingly rare.

Yes, and that is crazy. At the least a well sorted car would let you unplug extraneous parts with no software problems. You can definitely take the back seats out of a Tesla with no issue

I agree with you, which is a testament to how badly Lucid has developed it's software. I wouldn't hesitate in any other vehicle

I'm sure you are correct about swimming upstream- no going back now. I'm still right though- the number is largely meaningless

Where in the car? Is it more useful to have a number that really doesn't bear much relation to reality than just a cold to hot scale? I do not see it at all.

I've always thought having the climate control in degrees was stupid. Degrees where? Much easier to just have physical dial that goes from hot to cold.

So, I had to think carefully about this. I am comparing to a 2016 VW Jetta( a very basic, but terrific, car) As far as software the only thing that really jumps out is the adaptive cruise which the Jetta lacks. The nav system is obviously much better in that is has a huge screen for the map, so...

Thanks. All seems baffling to me, but I guess that makes sense

I apologize for my ignorance, but what is the advantage of having a "native" Spotify app over just using the one on your phone through Carplay?
