I love that they put 15k miles on it in 3 months. That would be one expensive end of lease return hahaha.

I’m not entirely sure, they definitely enabled it, and they had done some tests with the Highway assist and seatbelt tensioners so my car was driven after the OTA and before I got it so I’m not sure yet. If it changes again I’ll report back.

It depends on the track. Overall I think it’s awesome, no doubt the bass is fuller and extends lower, in fact all the audio “jumps out” from the speakers more. A great example is this Leonard Cohen track, You Want It Darker, it was mixed to hype the bottom end of his voice and before you’d lose...

It’s like that beautiful full range center speaker got turned into a Yamaha NS10 haha.

Finally got the TSB Audio update for the car. @stratus and others have good ears. The issue is with the center channel. It sounds very much to me like whatever changes to the DSP/internal tuning were made, they set the crossover too high for the center speaker and it’s no longer functioning...

Totally, this is a good example of a quality music mix sending you to a place. A mix like this is deceptively challenging even though you only have like 5 things in it (her voice, the accordion, the guitar, the violin, and the room itself). You have to choose the perfect microphone and...

Yes, but only if it’s mixed that way in Atmos or 5.1, IE the mixer would have had to assign it to center. A spectacular example of it is this track https://tidal.com/track/243209469?u It sounds like you’re sitting in a cafe and she’s on stage right in front of you. That’s why I’m such a huge...

Yeah Dolby Atmos is encoded in MP4 though as it was developed for the cinema first and to carry a video file as well.

Sorry you need MP4 for USB stick. MKV is the format for Dolby True HD whereas MP4 is for DD+ JOC format, my kid was distracting me while I was typing. Only BlueRay or cinema can do MKV as far as I know, I don’t think there’s a streaming option for it, and USB cannot playback any MKV file as...

Ah my audio brother you are speaking my language. One time an ad agency person asked us to make a track sound more “purple” and more “hip”. Another time a director played back a rough mix for a big battle scene in his truck that had a big subwoofer and then complained on the mix studio the...

I’m glad others mentioned the Highway Assist stopping randomly with the red alert, this has happened to me before as well. In my car it broke adaptive cruise as well, it would be grayed out and not activate. I thought it was the 2.5 OTA but the GT loaner I have now is not on 2.5 and it also...

I think the Immersive Audio website has downloadable .MKV Atmos files, however it does not have a big selection. I’ve only tried the demo file and while it did work you need a fast USB stick, some do not have the speeds to handle the huge Atmos files. If yours is slower you get lots of...

Yeah the Polestar has such a cool software interface but disappointing range and the space inside the Gravity really shames it and the rest of the competition. I’m curious to see a 5 seat Gravity option, even though the 7 seater is great. The Gravity at Natick couldn’t be touched so I...

I got to see the Gravity at the Natick studio by sheer coincidence when dropping my car off for service today. It actually has a smaller footprint than these beast SUVs like Land Rover and R1S, and yet more space. It’s really good looking and distinctive following Lucid’s design language...

What a nicely done video! And hats off to your wife for doing the drive with a baby! We almost did the drive October 14 on the way up to Canada but my wife is very prone to motion sickness and toddler is at the “threenager” tantrum age so we decided last minute to skip it, so I’m extra...

Mine started doing harsh creaking over certain bumps, like almost a cracking noise when I pull into parking lots. I was bringing it for service anyway Friday so I’ll add it to the list, thanks!

Yeah there’s some lessons for Lucid in there with the Taycan curve for sure. I personally found that the way I road trip, if I stop to charge it’s gonna be a legitimate break, and usually the air is done charging before I’m done eating or taking a break or whatever, so it’s kinda funny with the...

Maybe the newest Taycan could do it I’m just basing it off ABRP but I don’t think ABRP uses EPA and it does adjust for temperature and elevation, maybe it wasn’t much of an elevation change and it was the return trip I’m remembering with the ups and downs (went to Montreal and then back via...

Huh, I learned a lot, like the absolutely idiotic way DC fast charging is handled in the BMW i7, that while Tesla network is not trouble free it still has an advantage over CCS, that charging curves matter more than you’d think given how close the race was until the last few hundred miles, but...

Yeah I did do forget and rejoin that WiFi this AM before going to work and it failed.
