My impression is that the lane centering is much improved. My car centers up now and stays centered unless I bias it with pressure on the wheel. Before it would track on the right of the lane. The visualization correctly shows where in the lane you are including any offset from center.
Real-life capabilities are better. And 3D Lane Visualization is a gimmick. Both can be true.
That's how actual beta testing is supposed to work, and how it worked before the days that Netscape came up with the concept of "open beta." Beta wasn't supposed to be something in general release or a way of tagging something to indicate that it might have bugs. I assume that Lucid has actual beta testing in the traditional sense, which used to mean having a person coordinating things with the beta testers and assigning them specific things to test out. What's also needed is a specific feedback mechanism where users can report problems. In a real beta test, there's an NDA so you wouldn't hear about it from testers, nor would you hear about problems they encounter. Disclosing things would mean getting kicked out of the beta program. So if they have what you are looking for, except for asking for volunteers, you probably wouldn't hear about it.
I read that...it doesn't clarify what comes to DD vs DDProLucid OTA Updates

That was how I interpreted things when I first read it, but upon rereading it, it's ambiguous. If they deploy it by then, it could mean the rollout to all users starts then. I suppose we'll find out. Also, "plan to" makes it a moot point. In Lucid's case, I assume that it means they they have every intention to do so and have a reasonable expectation. So whether we all get it or don't, it won't be inconsistent with what Nick wrote.
I tried a Tesla without stalks. The shifting part actually made perfect sense. I didn't quite feel the same about the turn signals. Perhaps if I drove one regularly, it would become intuitive. But when FSD moved it into a wrong lane by mistake (i.e. not appropriate for the route) and I needed to take over and change back quickly, the steering was no problem but I didn't signal. Hitting the stalk simultaneously would have been instinctive. Steering suddenly and having to look for a spot to press an arrow wasn't about to happen. Tesla also gives physical shift buttons that can be pressed, but their implementation is bizarre. They consider it an alternative when things go wrong with the screen, and it's not always a simple matter of just tapping a physical button.
It does work for me with adaptive cruise on city streets. But I do have DD Pro.
What I like about this is that scheduled charging improvements are so important that they will be doing it twice. So if they don't live up to expectations the first time, there will be more to come.
I particularly like the feature where Lucid gives us a big glass screen in front of us that we can look through and see the actual cars in front of us, as well as vehicles in front in adjacent lanes.Real-life capabilities are better. And 3D Lane Visualization is a gimmick. Both can be true.
True. At least software can always improve.
An interesting perspective, as I (perhaps incorrectly) considered 'deploy' and 'roll out' to be interchangeable terms. You are certainly right that there are a few squishy caveats. That said, I would rather wait than get something problematic.
Karma is balancing our account books for making our kids wait for stuff!
It's complete disaster in Europe, where you have tons and roundabouts and where you are supposed to indicate your leaving the roundabout. No way to do that right all the time with buttons on the steering wheel - it will be obviously not on the center position on the roundabout, you'll always have to figure out the right button.
I thought I was the only one that spotted that!
I have a Pure AWD with basic DD and 2.4.2. The only ADAS improvement I can tell so far is that the graphics of the vehicles (your own + the one in the front) are nicer, e.g., my car is the correct color. Single lane display only, but that’s probably because we don’t have side cameras.
Hi Bobby, 2.2.10 in German Lucids.
