It's not just Atmos tracks. The very first thing I listened to after the update actually sounded better, and it was an instrumental piece, but after that I found that things are generally worse, especially if they have vocals. If anybody thinks this sounds better, then I invite Lucid to add a...

Lucid does not generally preannounce and AA is on the cusp of being available for the Air. It's very unlikely that they'd go through all the effort to design the software, and once they get it done, leave it off what they expect to be their best selling vehicle. They don't want to say that...

They may not be inherently defective but it's much easier to torque a Hubbell outlet properly with a hex wrench than it is to torque a Leviton with a flat blade screwdriver. Even if you think that the Leviton is properly torqued, moving the heavy wires to get it in the box can loosen them up...

Back in the days when assembly line workers built a chassis and then bolted on panels such as fenders, the cost considerations were different. I don't know to what extent any given component was hand welded or bolted, but with robotics everything changes. Aside from the roof, there are no...

Sliding doors can be convenient because it's not practical to have an opening that big with no door in the way when a door swings out. In real life, I rarely found it to be an issue, but if Lucid had the equivalent of Tesla's basic summon, which does nothing more than move a supervised car back...

I have no problem with anybody holding any particular political views. I do have a problem with people expressing hatred, and I fully understand why people won't want to buy a product from a company that's represented by such a person. I hate to even call it politics since many of his divisive...

I don't feel good about Elon, but Tesla still makes good cars. I still own one. I like the Lucid better though. When I got the Lucid, I wasn't thinking about getting a Tesla. I can't say how much of a factor Elon was, but he certainly didn't help matters. After test driving the Air, stepping...

The whole SUV/minivan debate is pointless, because it doesn't matter what you call it. It's a crossover. In terms of form factor, it's closer in appearance to the original station wagons (that took people and luggage to and from train stations) than what people think of as station wagons today...

Somebody was at the Union City CA Supercharger with a Gravity, and said that he was checking Superchargers for compatibility. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/attachments/20241122_144911-jpg.1096823/

Body panels that don't line up perfectly don't affect me when driving.

Yes, it's the hollowness that sounds off. And the navigation directions should sound like they are coming from somebody who is talking, not like somebody sitting behind a thin sounding microphone in a live room with lots of reflections. It doesn't sound in phase.

It is more substantial than I thought. Music sounded better, especially bass. But the navigation voice now sounds processed and not human. And the turn signal click sounds strange.

If I really wanted them, I probably wouldn't need a car.

I agree but I think that it's true of the industry in general. The most popular car colors are white, black, gray and silver. A particularly fashionable color these days looks like gray primer, which is not far from what cars would have looked like decades ago if they never made it to the final...

This just in: Hands free coming soon. Rawlinson not only said so in today's earnings call, he made a not so subtle slight at Musk and anybody else who preannounces far in advance and doesn't deliver. He said that companies should not announce things unless they are coming soon.

I checked mine from Aug 22, and it was included. And therein lies the problem. If we had to check the paperwork, it means that the change in sound wasn't obvious enough to show a substantial improvement. Perhaps it will be much better when I get the update, but I can't tell how the system would...

I found that on some curves, there's either still a need to take over or the car shows me a red line for lane departure warning even though it was driving. Some reports about the update that was just released indicate that Lucid addressed some of that, and that perhaps the car is too cautious. I...

Unfortunately, the ratings systems fall far short of what they should be doing to be helpful. The idea behind NHTSA's system was supposed to be to differentiate vehicles. If it now says that they are essentially all good, that doesn't say much. They need to have testing standards that go far...

The refresh did a few things, although it could have done more. Some basic things such as an A pillar or mirror blind spot indicator are still missing. Camera views are in the wrong place for when making turns, and unlike in the Lucid, where the camera view is a viable substitute for a mirror...

It's not clear to me how that works. I understand that they control the release cycle, and control when a given release comes out. I also understand that they work with manufacturers with respect to integration. Clearly, a manufacturer can't send out a new release of Android Auto that Google...
