Just wanted to chime in that I’ve been driving around with 2.4.3 and it’s been excellent for me. Zero issues with cameras, glitches, CarPlay, etc. Lane changes work great. Car does a better job of handling sharper curves (though it’s still not perfect.) Lucid Assistant works fine for my needs. I asked it to turn down the fan speed on the driver’s side, and it knew what I meant. Gave me a weather report. I’m sure It’ll be able to do more soon. (Not a fan of the voice, though.)
I have an early Touring, for those who don’t know.
To me, this is the biggest and most helpful update Lucid has put out since 2.0. So kudos to the team. I know some are experiencing issues with hardware and other glitches. I do hope the team gets to the bottom of those soon, and I understand your frustration. Just know, not all Airs are experiencing these issues.
For those wondering why Lucid “can’t just” do this or that, you are demonstrating a serious lack of understanding of just how much testing goes into each and every tiny change in this car’s software. It’s an incredibly complex web of systems that handle far more than turning cameras off or on, or switching radio stations. The whole car is controlled by software. And every change, every “option” adds to the complexity. If it were me making decisions about adding this or that, I’d be pushing for keeping all features as simple and maintainable as possible.
So no, I would not advocate for adding sliders and sixteen options for tiny variances that make six customers happy, at the expense of tech debt that will lead to more bugs.
Software is opinionated. You make sensible default decisions where you can. You add options only when you truly can’t find a default that would please 80% of your customers. The “nice to have” options come much later, when your full feature set is well established and working flawlessly.
I’m excited with what the team has accomplished in just a few short years. And there’s no sign they are letting up.
