Apple Key coming to Lucid

Right. That article came out yesterday, but the "three more automakers" is old news. The original post here was dated Oct 3. 2025 which listed 13 car makers, of which Lucid was one.

Aside from PAAK, it would be nice if Lucid fleshed out their bluetooth implementation, so that we wouldn't need a cellular/WiFi connection to interact with the car via the app.

Not sure I understand fully. If your phone had no WiFi/LTE how would you expect it to connect to car from outside BLE range?

Bluetooth is independent of WiFi/Cellular. For example, you could be at a remote location, like Antartica with no WiFi/Cellular, and you could still pair your bluetooth headphones/speakers/car to your phone and listen to music. Although BLE is slightly different than your "normal" bluetooth, it operates the same way and is independent of WiFi/LTE. It's a different protocol and has its own receivers/transmitters.

For example, Tesla does this in their newer cars.
