I did not notice anything different when driving with 2.3.0 except perhaps when I approach and touch the door handle, it seems to appear sooner.
I did not try any of the new features like pre-conditioning using the app. I did not charge too high SoC to see the warning. So far, I see no new...
Lucid did state that the charge port will be NACS and it will ship with an adapter. I am assuming that it is 1000V capable NACS and so the charging speed should be similar to Air on CCS.
I understand now your point of view. I personally consider myself a fast follower of tech but not a bleeding edge adopter. I tend to wait for 1 year usually as a minimum. I do keep my tech and cars as long as they last. I wait for a bit of maturity in tech. That said I bought lucid just 1.5...
I bought Lucid in Dec 2022 close to age 66 and I hear you. When I replace my minivan in about 5 years at age 72, I too will not buy a brand new model in the year 1. At that point, I may consider a used Gravity for example.
For every new car these days all the fancy headlight, tail lights, brake lights, ADAS features are expensive parts to replace in what looks like minor damage.
At some point just as we do not have 3G anymore, 4G LTE will be gone. At that point, any software updates can be done by USB and it is entirely possible that USB dongles could be offered by Lucid or like Tesla did, upgrade the CPU boards but not for free. No automaker has ever given free...
I did not wake up the car. Leaving the app open in the background was enough to get a notification. I think the notification came from the cloud to the phone. Once the update was downloaded to the car, the cloud must be pushing the notification to the phone.
Leave the Lucid App open on your phone. You will get a notification when an update is available to install. It will tell you the expected time to install and require 20% SoC on the car.
I don't mind at all if others get it and test it and report any problems before I get it. I don't think I will notice much difference in the update where I drive. They did not add any new features in DD at street level or maps that I would use and notice.
I did not try that but others have the data. For example at 80mph I saw Pure and Touring owners report around 3 vs 3.7 at 70 which makes sense. 14% more speed 20% less efficiency.
