3.0 on Air

I have been waiting for the CCCv2 upgrade. I was at the Costa Mesa center for an appointment in October for the upgrade. When I arrived, I was informed that they did not have the chip. I still have not heard anything. When will the chip be available. I checked the calendar, but cannot find any days for an appointment.

Your best bet is to call the service center to see if they have them in stock.

It is “available.” It was simply out of stock at your service center.
 
With layoffs announcement that is mostly impacting software team, what is the new timeline for UX 3.0 for Air?

Where did you read/hear that it "mostly" affected the software team? It was 12% across multiple departments not only software. Status from Lucid has been Summer \ Fall for Air so unless they state otherwise I'd assume that's still the plan.
 
On the Everyday Chris video, I believe Nick said the layoffs were concentrated on the software leadership where they saw issues. Not that the layoffs mostly hit software.
 
Late summer is a long ways away for a lack of features.

Hate to burst your bubble, but apart from V2H, Lucid has provided the Air with all the features promised. If you need to wait until summer to get more, consider it a bonus since they don’t owe you anything more. If this were BMW, Mercedes, Audi, etc. you’d be told to buy a new model to get new features.

From the bits and pieces read online and videos watched it seems the Air needs a code rewrite to run 3.x which will put it on the same stack as Gravity. Why would you waste resources in adding features to redundant code when an entirely new version is coming in 6 months. Wouldn't you rather them be focusing on the new code and making sure it's polished, minimal bugs at launch etc.?

I'm all for waiting on Air 3.x for further progress on features, but as far as promises go, you are not correct regarding DDP, and a lesser, but not original, promise of sentry mode. I think you have posted something to the effect of your first sentence before, and then been sent copies of Lucid presentations and marketing literature to the contrary.

AND more Highway Assist/Pilot functionality. The original DDP promises do not go away due to a less definitive box in a later presentation.

Maybe because you still want to keep selling the Air? Is it discontinued?

I think they are trying to prop up used Air prices. Easier to justify buying new when used prices are not so much less, and helps the brand image if they are seen as long-lasting cars that don't quickly go obsolete.

If you let the software to rot, you are not going to sell neither used nor new Airs.

Perhaps we could consider that there exists a spectrum between “leave it to rot” and “build all new features twice for both the old stack and the new”?

If there was a lot of technical debt with the UX 2 codebase, and they're standardizing on UX 3 for midsize as well, and they plan to keep the Air in production a few more years, I can see why they decided to go this way.
