Does any one have information from their tech guy or rep why the OTA are not distributed to everyone??
That is not true. Audi doesNo manufacturer will ever send updates to all vehicles at once. It should always be a rolling process to minimize risk and damage from poor updates.
BTW it doesn’t come over Wifi but comes over in LTEI had to call to get them to push the .07 OTA to me - didn’t install in the first try when it came automatically (could be due to terrible cell and Wifi service in my garage). Worked fine when they pushed it to me. Was told .07 is the latest in the wild even though about page also shows .08 and 1.1 details but told they have not yet been pushed to cars.

Audi
Currently, Audi does offer over the air updates, but only for its vehicle maps. Those sorts of updates are sent out regularly and can be done from home an a wifi connection. Unfortunately for current e-tron owners, any other software updates must be manually done at a dealership.
Part of the issue with OTA capabilities is that Audi utilizes much of its controls with physical knobs and buttons. These toggles must all be checked to ensure they’re all synced up with a given software update. Most other EV manufacturers have transitioned to tablets and touchscreens.
BMW
BMW began using OTA updates in 2018 and has slowly increased its presence since. The automaker does offer over-the-air software updates to most of its models, but not to the full extent as some other competitors.
Currently, BMW’s OTA updates extend to infotainment systems and to purchase and install “optional equipment features.” Furthermore, updates to the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) can be updated OTA in a limited capacity.
What would be the purpose of putting in a wap net work when all OTA’s are sent over LTE?
I guess I missed that statement. All updates according to the head tech at Lucid come over LTE.
That’s a blinding view of the obvious.That's how they are planned, did a speed test with my cell. T-mobile 16MB vs fiber 825MB.
Coincidentally I was at Audi today getting a software update for my e-Tron. BTW, the e-Tron has very few physical buttons. Most operations are conducted via 2 touchscreens.Audi

I believe @hmp10 had stated his LTE was poor enough they had him do his update over Wi-Fi.
Ok but did you notice any improvement(s) in your problems after the download?
