I went back and watched the David Jenkins videos. You are right. He never promised Sirius. He promised Apple Carplay and Android whatever it’s called. He also promised haptic touch. We can argue over the details. But we are short on what should be there.

I hope and think you are right.

This is good news.

This is good news. ByJoey Klender Posted on August 26, 2022 Lucid Motors added a new executive position within its software team this week and filled it with a former Apple employee with over two decades of experience. Lucid officially appointed Derrick Carty as Vice President of Platform...

I think they promised Sirius XM too. But they have no capability to deliver it.

No, I would have liked it to come out with the first release of the car as Lucid promised.

That’s great I really want CarPlay.

I’m not very hopeful we are ever going to have CarPlay. Of course I don’t know what I’m talking about. Why don’t we have it yet? How many software updates have we had? What’s the number one priory? The only explanation is they are working with Apple on the fall release. Why couldn’t they do an...

I don’t know. I just know there is no antennae and no possibility of having Sirius XM via antennae.

So is Lucid ever going to have CarPlay?

The fact that didn’t put an SiriusXM antennae on the car is unbelievable.

But If I have to listen over Bluetooth CarPlay, I expect to hear a sound field over all 21 speakers.

I do think music over Bluetooth is inferior to USB. If I play FLAC over USB, I expect to take advantage of a sound field processor and 21 speakers.

Apple has a major CarPlay update coming in the fall. Are Lucid and Apple cooperating on that? Tesla doesn’t have CarPlay, right?

I’m listening to Tidal. A 3 band EQ is not a pre/pro. I appreciate your comments. I don’t believe a single amplifier can handle all the speakers. My opinion is separate amplifiers and and a pre/pro allows for soundfield processing. Yes, multiple amps and a pre/pro are a space, weight and heat...

Thank you. This is a thoughtful response. A competent processor would do more than EQ. You’ve got 21 speakers and you’re just going to play the source? I wouldn’t expect to have 1 amp nor did I say that. The car should have 3-5 amps. I think the speakers are individually amped. And yes, I think...

Yes, you really do need more. Tidal. EQ is not enough. Every luxury car I know has a separate processor and separate amps. I’ll say it again and you can tell me I’m wrong. There is no pre/pro and no separate amplifiers. Supporting Dolby Atmos is great. Not supporting the majority of music is not.

Ok, I didn’t say anything about balance or equalization of a Dolby Atmos track. I said it sounds great. I’m criticizing the sound quality of non-Dolby Atmos. I’m glad you have an open mind and sorry for calling you a fanboy.

Yes, I have bass setup all the way. I have mid plus 4 and treble +2.

That’s what I have, almost. Is that the best?
