While I agree with you about making the Homelink easier, my cameras turn off after I put the car in park. Do yours not? It's still a few clicks to close the door, but less without the camera.
Yes, the camera does turn off when I park but it takes more than 10 seconds before that happens. Same issue going out of the garage in the morning. I suspect my system lags more than others.
Set up Siri to control your garage door via Homebridge. There’s some old threads on it. I say “hey Siri open/close garage door” to my watch and I haven’t had to use homelink one time since I set this up. Homelink does work fine on approach, but yeah close is a pain in the ass when you’re in reverse so setting it up to run via Siri solved all problems.
Does Homebridge work with Google as well for those of us luddite enough to use an android phone? Also, I'd
Hmmm, homebridge is designed to work with Apple HomeKit to put non-apple devices into the apple/Siri ecosystem, BUT you can get Google devices to work with it (I’ve got nest cams/locks/doorbell/thermostat all incorporated into HomeKit), but I wouldn’t know if there’s a way to interface it with Android.
Sure…make me feel even worse.
This sounds like a “hardware guy”’s answer to a software problem. The issue is almost certainly that they are emulating AAOS rather than running it natively; once they fix that, it should be much more speedy.
the stereo is average - I do not own a Tesla, however I did recently drive a Model S Plaid. The stereo in the Plaid blows the Lucid away. But, Lucid is a much better built car. better looking too!
I've said it before, the sound system is very underwhelming. I like high-fidelity while I am driving. I hope the after market comes up with some solutions.
I’d be very surprised if the Plaid blows away the Lucid stereo under objective listening conditions with the same audio streaming quality. There are other threads here where some owners did a frequency response curve and the Lucid’s was excellent, just not hyped for certain frequencies to give the illusion of more bass. I was an audio engineer in my previous career and listened to some tracks in the Lucid on Tidal HiFi quality that I was present for the actual studio mix of that track, and was amazed by how faithfully the Lucid reproduced the tracks, like it sounded just like I was back in the studio.
I have heard many high end car stereo systems but none have come close to the sound provided by the Lucid when tuned in to a high quality Dolby Atmos recording such as those provided by Tidal. Eventually we will have Apple CarPlay which will allow streaming Apple Music which has a much larger library of Dolby Atmos recordings. HMP10 has both the Plaid and the Lucid Dream and I would be interested to hear what he has to say regarding the two stereo systems.
In which format, Tidal MQA HiFi? Are you on 1.2.6 software with Tidal HiFi enabled? Spotify sounds average to mediocre in any car. You might not even realize it until you compare it to Tidal HiFi in the Lucid but I think it’s indisputable the car’s audio system is excellent IF you’re listening in the best format.
There also seems to be a bug for some folks where they lose their sub altogether until they do a reset? Maybe this is happening more to some cars than others? Wonder if that isn’t playing into some people’s impressions?
Yes, I have Tidal HiFi (do not have Spotify). I am not saying that the clarity is bad (it's excellent), it's just not punchy, volume is low even at max, and the EQ range is not that great - in fact I would rather listen to it flat but have more volume. I am not comparing it my McIntosh system at home, but my 2017 Audi S8 Plus with the B&O system. Also, Atmos or Sony 360 is great if you want to hear surround sound, me I like to listen to music as if in front of a sound stage not a movie theater.
I hope the Lucid stereo system is top tier. My refresh Model S is probably the best stereo system I have had in a car when tuned properly. Just awesome.
When you told me to try Atmos, I went back and tried it again. However, here is an issue that keeps happening randomly and often, where the stereo sound completely shuts off, yet the track is continuing (not mute button). I am not able to change tracks when this is happening and usually have to switch source and it eventually starts to play again. Sometimes, I may try and switch tracks several times when the sound turns off and after several minutes the sound will come back on and all the various tracks I pushed will play in that order (as if they were buffered). I took a video of it and it is very frustrating. My opinion on the sound system remains the same.
Prime unlimited also has highest quality recordings and Dolby Atmos which compared to other streaming music I.e. Pandora or Spotify is far superior even on a single speaker!
Yes, and only if those apps were available on the infotainment system. I would like to see Qobuz as well. I do not listen to Spotify and just canceled Amazon Unlimited because they have the lowest payouts to artist. Qobuz and Tidal have better payouts to the artists.
