Lucid just pushed an OTA

I don’t understand why they want you to disconnect from WiFi when it’s generally faster than cellular. Will it not take the update on WiFi? What am I missing?
I have not turned off wifi on all the updates so far because I didn't read close enough to turn them off...but my guess is 5g is controlled by lucid, whereas wifi securities are set by the owner. Maybe they just worry they can't push an update through wifi if security permissions have been set up a certain way.
 
I got my car the night of 30-Dec. The software version loaded on the car was 1.1.0. The delivery specialist said that I got the latest version from the factory. No ADAS functions enabled yet:

thanks @Alex . i wonder what options they added to the auto parking. i remember multiple reports of overly aggressive parking assist.

It must be aggressive. When pulling the car into my garage it told be it had found a parking spot. The parking spot was a "parallel" spot on a curved portion of my wall behind me. I let it do it's thing, but it was getting quite close the edge of the wall and it displayed the curved part of the wall as straight. I aborted the maneuver.

As far as the "Park Comfort Braking", I hadn't looked closely at the settings. I'll do that later on. It did seem to put on the emergency braking when it got close to a curb in my garage. It was about a foot away. I don't know how it behaved previously.
 
Interesting, if they are shipping cars with 1.1.0, why would they not push the same OTA update to the cars existing already?
 
If OTA updates are handled like they were at Tesla, updates would be sent out to a portion of the fleet first. That way adverse issues from the update could be caught before the entire fleet was ‘infected’. Granted there isn’t much of a Lucid fleet at this point, but it’s possible that’s how they’re doing it.
 
Thanks Alex and Hmp for being the testers this time around!

Yea, I was just showing what 1.0.8 will be, but they haven't pushed it out yet. Though, it's like, how not robust is it now? Haha
 
I see that the update instructions say that the car can’t be plugged in or on WiFi when starting the update? Why is that ? Tesla doesn’t have such requirements. I can start an update anytime. I’m curious as to how others feel about this.
 
Hmp does his only via wifi. I've done mine and forgot to turn it off.

A Lucid mobile tech told me they recommended turning off WiFi because the car switches between cell and Wifi depending on the strongest signal it gets at any given moment. If either the cell or the WiFi signal waxes or wanes, the car will switch signal sources during an update and disrupt the process. Therefore, they want the car to have access only to one signal during an update. As I don't have a usable cell signal in my garage, they told me to do updates with the WiFi turned on.

I hadn't noticed anything about unplugging the car for an update. Don't know why that would be.
 
I think it's just a precaution for these first updates to minimize any issue that could happen. When the car is plugged in, right now, it's software is in a state of "ready to charge or charging" so maybe they don't want anything to happen during the OTA with the BMS in use.
 
. . . they don't want anything to happen during the OTA with the BMS in use.

I had to laugh at the "newspeak" that has already arisen around EVs.

Years ago I was in a meeting at GE and and found myself uttering this sentence: "After wrapping up the Session II, we had a Session C update to follow up on actions with the Code 1's and Code 5's." As I reflected later on this, I found it a bit unsettling that everyone knew exactly what I meant.
 
A friend received an OTA update last night that activated adaptive cruise control.

I've received no notice of an update either in the car or on the mobile app. How does Lucid notify you that an update is available so that you can unplug the car before the update loads?
