I was not able to find the interview. However, I recall that when asked about software issues, before UX 2.0, part of his answer included Lucid's openness to partner with a "big" Silicon Valley company.
I agree, I see absolutely no evidence that 3.0 is even in development, let alone ready for release. There was a lot of chatter from Lucid months before 2.0 was released.
In the gravity page of Lucid, it states that the gravity will have the 2nd gen glass cockpit and the next generation of lucid UX.
Recent interview with Mike Bell, who is overseeing all of Lucid's software, suggests they are very proud of doing pretty much everything they can in house.
Don't forget, it is highly likely they will have the same software, like ios/ipados rather than ios/macos. If something comes to the air, I expect it to come to the gravity, and vice versa unless it involves features the gravity physically has and the air doesn't.
Oh, I took that as the Gravity launch being something big, but see that “big” could refer to several different things. Ok, I’m choosing to get my hopes up for 3.0 or something 3.0ish.
Unless CPU limitations in the Air, relative to the Gravity, prevent certain software features present in the Gravity from being implemented in the Air. I’d be surprised if the Gravity doesn’t have more advanced CPUs.
What I saw from this is that they are using the bear more prominently like we discussed, which is a good thing.
This also leaves me hopeful that we see a matte blacked out gravity. It would look like a drug suv which is good for its reputation(like the Escalade)
Lucid should throw in some rap musics while introducing this Gravity variant. No?
No problema, just have it wrapped exactly how you want it.
The Sapphire already has upgraded CPUs. I would be very surprised if they do not offer a retrofit/upgrade for the Air at some point in the next year, for purchase.
By a year do you mean sometime in 2024 or November 2024?
“Late 2024”
That would be nice, but if the history of other car manufacturers is any indicator, I’m not sure we’ll see this. The upgrade in features is sometimes more than just the result of a newer CPU. There is a discussion going on right now regarding the BMW i4 and the newer i4s with new head units with enhanced capabilities (minor as they may be). The consensus is it’s unlikely BMW will offer a paid retrofit for a new head unit.
