OTA Update 2.7.0

[MGRMLN]

One thing I have noticed is that DDP seems to ping pong in the lane again almost exactly like it used to prior to .16

And I hope they push an update to the audio defaulting to CarPlay instead of the native Tidal app. That’s super annoying to have to do that every time I get in the car.

Have a nice day!

Good philosophy. I use a combination of 'work around +live with it' to enjoy the car. However, the Silence of Lucid is what is amazing. Do you think they are bound by a silence clause in their contract?

I'm not sure what you mean by this. It has been addressed publicly, several times. I was at a live event where Peter Rawlinson himself answered this very question and described that they're stuck in this vendor contract. He was forthcoming and honest. There's nothing else they can say about it.

some people behave like everything else in their life is perfect.. good for them.

Update 2.7.0 —runs great! Noticed better performance.

New bot account. Same lame performance.

Pretty sure I found a bug in the 2.7.0 update w/ AirPlay and the rest of the apps and navigation that depend on a 'cell signal'. I'm able to repeat it every time, and even after an 'A' reboot:

noticed that on the pilot display that shows your 'cell strength' was showing one tick mark (low signal)... i go to Tidal/Spotify and I can't get anything to play. Tidal was not even connecting.. just the spinning load graphic. Assumed it's the low cell strength. If I look at phone, it shows 5 bars and LTE.. i look back at the pilot screen... one bar. Hmmm.. so then I open carplay and on that display that shows signal strength, it matched what my phone indicated.. 5 bars, LTE. I then noticed as soon as the CarPLay screen appears, the signal strength on the pilot screen jumped to 5 bars.. then I go back to the Tidal/Navigation/etc, and it works.

I can repeat this EVERY time I can't get any of the audio apps to work (aside from FM), or even more fun.. if the nav system shows me the all too familiar 'can't get a network connection'. No matter where I am, driving or parked in areas of acceptable cell strength. If Tidal locked up, or Spotify vanishes (like it does about once a week), it's 100% cured if I open CarPLay, sync the cell strength, and then go back to fully functional Tidal/Spotify/Navigation.

Anyone else wanna verify this next time you're locked out of the apps that need cell network?

That's interesting! BTW the car uses AT&T. Is your phone on a different carrier?

I know that part. But why wouldnt they try to work a fix with the vendor that might be offered as an extra cost item. e.g. just one simple example: Turn in your key and we will give you one with a real button or buttons and a larger battery.

In other words, show that you are working within the contract on a fix.

You’ve made a big assumption here; that they haven’t tried. We don’t know the details, but it is definitely impossible this is an issue they do not care about and have never tried to find a fix for, whether technical or contractual.

interesting.... no. i'm on T-mobile.

...now it kinda makes sense... in that (possibly) as soon as I activated carplay, the signal was switched to use the 'phone' as the connection to all systems via its network. ....maybe... ??

I think you may be correct. But that then suggests that there may be a muzzling clause in the contract.

As I said before, I have found ways around the issue, in order to enjoy this great car, but it refelects poorly when others see it.

That’s my assumption, too. But I don’t know for sure.

Agreed; I don’t have this issue as much as others, but it’s clearly an issue for many.
