    CarPlay connectivity needs improvement.

    Mercedes announced that they’re not going to upgrade CarPlay to 2.0 in their new vehicles. I think the benefit is being questioned given the lack of integration into the total car experience. I stopped using CarPlay after a week and plug in my phone to a cable plugged into the back seat USB...

    The new EQS: Looks even worse?

    Are they? Over never found Mercs to be remotely attractive cars. Frame of reference: I always liked Audis and have owned A6 and A7’s though the Etron and the Q-SUV’s are more generic designs that are bland.

    The Economist article

    I agree with the above stated sentiments and I didn’t post this to annoy anyone. I find The Economist a very comprehensive magazine and very informative. That said, writing about EV’s is not their forté. It’s a magazine for data junkies and reading one of their main articles can take long time...

    The Economist article

    Excerpt: As a result, many of the ev entrants lack unique selling features. The cars made by Rivian and Lucid are technologically unremarkable. Their good looks alone do not justify the hefty price tag. Rivian’s cheapest electric pickup costs around $70,000, half as much again as Ford’s f-150...

    Phone call unintelligible

    Which is what you’d expect, right? I was merely querying the collective knowledge in this forum on whether someone else had this problem and if there were any solutions.

    Phone call unintelligible

    After fighting that battle where music wouldn’t stop with incoming calls, I have disabled CarPlay. It would be unfortunate to think that CarPlay would be a solution to a glitch in the native UX. Did you have this problem too?

    Phone call unintelligible

    My phone calls are coming though unintelligible occasionally. I have to call back to get better conversations and sometimes the other party sounds this way to me. Calling through Bluetooth with iPhone 14 Pro Max and Lucid software .60 My daughter took this video of me talking to her. I have...

    They say that having a $140k car is overkill, but I think it’s great.

    CarPlay workaround

    I have had a horrible time with CarPlay with many glitches described by many. With the update to .60 I thought it was better but it isn’t. Incoming calls don’t pause the music which is very annoying. Problem has been hardwiring my phone to charge automatically launches CarPlay whether I...

    Far and Away The Most Unusual EV Car Claim

    Those of us blessed by snowfall, at least for the coming few years after which it will be an anomaly, have bigger issues with EV’s than just the snow. That said, I do think that with BYD equaling global market share with Tesla, the Chinese will be at the forefront of competitive advantages...

    I tried it out myself: the Sony 360 recordings don’t get the same treatment as the Atmos’ do.
