Lucid UX 3.0

I assume Lucid Development are focusing on UX 3.0 and that is why we haven't seen any recent updates. I am of the mind that this would apply to both platforms (not just Gravity). I can't imagine they would want to maintain 2 different code bases for Gravity and Air.

oof, looks like I am wrong. Just read this in an older UX 3.0 thread:

"At one of the local events, a Lucid executive shared that Air and Gravity software development teams are two separate teams and development of Gravity software shouldn't interfere with Air software development."

If that's correct, then Lucid has some 'splainin to do

That statement is true (and nothing new), but doesn't mean that Air won't be getting (some of? most of?) UX 3.0. It's a good thing the dev teams are separate, otherwise we wouldn't have been getting any updates for the past couple years. Hopefully at some point the Air team will be porting things back from Gravity and consolidating, at which point there might be a general infotainment team for everything shared, a Gravity infotainment team for Gravity-specific bits, and an Air infotainment team for Air-specific bits. For all we know little under-the-hood pieces of Gravity software may have already been making their way into Air for the past year, and they're just waiting for Gravity code freeze to start porting back more.

Also, we really don't know how the Lucid software team is organized. It could very well be a group of backend engineers splitted in two (gravity / air) that handles all the low level communication with the car components, and a front end team working on the v3 redesign.

Most of what UX3 seems to offer on the software side, like multi task, was part of the factory day presentation last fall where they shared the roadmap of fdatures to be delivered by Q4 2024.

I wouldn't worry much as the glimps we got from some press reviews showcasing UX 3 shows off a lot of quality of life improments that shouldn't be too taxing for old 2022 infotainment hardware. Only time will tell, and I guess with Gravity deliveries starting in May, we'll get our Air UX3 soon enough

Makes sense, you need 2 teams. I'm sure the next iteration of the Air will have updated hardware/screens when they can finally merge both teams.

Zipcube posted this in the Next update thread. "next update coming is 2.6.15 per mobile service techs."

One of the main reasons of why I let go my Air GT is the UX. It was too laggy and most of all the development team didn’t seem like they were addressing the problem because I would get an update once every other month. Not like Tesla, it was two to three updates per month. Of course, that has calmed down even for Tesla, but not because the system is laggy. Still think Tesla has the best software. With my Gravity DE on order and probably going to get it by the end of May or beginning of June I hope this has changed.

Got the update 2.16.15 today it took one hour to update.

Is the Lucid Air getting any of 3.0 UX?? its center screen is different plus the Air doesn’t have a heads up display. Will Lucid have an update program in order to give the Air a heads up display. I am guessing the main screen can’t be updated.

Most of UX 3.0 is software improvements, so yes. It won't look exactly the same, but a lot of it will translate to our screens just fine. No, I don't think there is any chance we'll get HUDs or new screens in old Airs. In future model years, sure. Nobody retrofits stuff like that. Even if it were technically feasible, there's no way it would make any kind of economical sense with the amount of development effort and labor involved.

Argh; "heads-up display". Lucid was doing so well sticking to "head-up display" How many heads do we have again? Is this intended for Zaphod Beeblebrox?
The confusion comes from people conflating the terms "head-up display" and "heads up".

It’s a North America vs UK thing as usual; OED even marks it as “N. American”.

For example, according to Merriam-Webster, “heads-up display” is correct and “head-up display” doesn’t exist in the dictionary.

Don't even get me started on "on-premise software deployments" (vs. "on-premises").

I guess here in the US we had an "s" migration from on-prem to heads-up.
