CarPlay Ultra, the next generation of CarPlay, begins rolling out today

Everyone talks about Tesla being the gold standard of software in a car

Not everyone does. I, and many others, hate Tesla's UX. Their connectivity suite is great, but their UX is garbage, imho.

I like Lucid's UX overall, but it has plenty of refinement to go. The vision, though, I'm on board with.

Honestly maybe it's that I'm bored with the chiclets, or maybe it's that I think there's something to be said for a bespoke UX/UI that is tailored for the machine by the designers who designed it.

CarPlay hsa always been... a phone UI in a car.

I want a great car UX/UI.

But choice is a good thing, so I'm glad they offer CarPlay too. I would just be very sad if that was all they did.

I want mine to work, easily, for me. A friend of mine has a Tesla and I agree, the UI is a giant mess. And since that would be the only UI in my life that works that way, I don’t want to learn an entirely new one. This is why I favor CarPlay. I don’t love that it is in such a small screen in the Air, and, honestly, Lucid has done an awful job integrating it further into the system compared to other manufacturers, but otherwise it does everything I need and it’s very familiar. It’s just an extension of all my other devices that I know very well. For me, any car that does not offer CarPlay integration is off my shopping list.

To be clear, the user decides if they turn on carplay ultra or not. Want to the the car UI? Go for it.

Also there is an extremely robust api to customize what it looks like. Nothing would prevent lucid from making a lucid aligned UI on top of CarPlay ultra.
