Yep, all those nav features go out for iOS users as soon as CarPlay is added. But I guess they need it? I mean, do they?They definitely listened to customers for some things, like increased fan control. I am. I am not sure customers were clamoring for navigation updates over things like CarPlay and Highway Assist. Though, it will likely be appreciated.

Only if screens don't blank out.It’s a good day in the Lucid world!
Agreed.Yes because not everyone uses CarPlay
Everyone keeps talking about CarPlay, but does any version of it now integrate SOC into the maps? If not, then for EVs native NAV apps are still needed unless everyone just uses ABRP and plugshare. The charger filters and preferences for EA are a good step forward because Lucid can query EA for charger status already.Agreed.
It’s also likely different software teams working on android/CarPlay integration and the native nav app.

if the in-built software is good enough, i see no reason to use CarPlay or Android Auto. i have a feeling that CarPlay won't stay free forever. Once Apple get enough users/car manufacturers onboard, they will move to a subscription service where only paying users would benefit from CarPlay.Yep, all those nav features go out for iOS users as soon as CarPlay is added.

I don’t see that happening.if the in-built software is good enough, i see no reason to use CarPlay or Android Auto. i have a feeling that CarPlay won't stay free forever.

IMO that's bit different. what i foresee is Apple charging users money for using CarPlay capability (and not car manufacturers). The most recent example i could think of is Apple News. When it was first introduced, they were offering contents from a lot of different media outlets for free. Once they gained momentum pretty much all articles were subscription only.I don’t see that happening.
What will happen is if CarPlay gets really, really good, as this next generation appears, it’ll convince more people to buy iPhones.
I think early on BMW tried tying CarPlay to some sort of subscription themselves. And people revolted.
I don’t know. Everyone, including myself have been anxiously awaiting a long overdue update. It’s here, so let’s stay positive and take the win. There will be many more, including updates to fix updates. This is the journey of a new car manufacturer.Only if screens don't blank out.
