It is just sad..
Oops I guess I missed the beat thereI do believe he was being facetious...
It is just sad compared to the updates that my Rivian gets every few weeks. The Rivian is already an amazing vehicle and they continue to add thoughtful and very useful features with each update. Wish Lucid could do the same.
If only there was a list of most requested Lucid features created by Lucid owners somewhere on the internet that they could look to and implement in a reasonable time...
I am going to disagree, of course. It is sad that the software was so very incomplete and buggy when I got my car in December of 2021. Yes, the current software is much, much better but it is still, IMHO, just release candidate quality. Also, if you compare features and functionality to Mercedes, Ford or GM, the current Lucid software is sorely lacking.There is nothing "sad" about Lucid updates. Since getting a very early production car in late 2021, we have received loads of updates that brought many new features, including some that are not included on our 2021 Tesla or on a Rivian.
- Apple CarPlay (not available on Teslas), with Android coming
- a USB port that will read a music stick (not available on new Teslas)
- dual-screen satellite maps so that you can see zoomed-out and zoomed-in views simultaneously as well as different compass orientations
- and the list goes on . . .
Also, from the start Lucid had features that even the newest Teslas still don't have, especially regarding camera displays.
Yes, there are still some things lacking, such as dash cam recording, but the updates have been steady, frequent, and useful . . . and I'm sure there are more to come.
By the way, I reserved a Rivian R1S Launch Edition in February 2019. I never got the outreach from my "Lucid Guide" that I was promised, most email inquiries were never answered, and when March 2023 came and went with no delivery date yet provided, I canceled my reservation.
Rivian should have gotten the software right. They certainly took their sweet time.

Will things continue to get better, I very much hope so, but we still have a long way to go before the software matches the driving experience.
Again, just my observations and opinion.
After installing the new update this weekend, I got a front camera error notice with the call customer service note. For a couple miles, the car wouldn't recognize speed limit signs as I drove past, but when I got close to another car at a stoplight, the front camera opened up with no issues, so I thought it was strange that I got an error message. Within 5 minutes the error code went away. No issues since...Downloaded and installed.
When started car it said "frunk failure" call customer service.
Opened and closed frunk.
Reset car and no issues since.
I just found a major software bug that Lucid is going to have to immediately change about the new 20 update, if you use your phone as your key as I do with no key fob in your pocket, which is always worked perfectly for me it no longer works after the software update as soon as you start, Apple play, Apple play fails and no key is detected comes on the screen. I spent an hour on the phone with Lucid Tech and they confirmed that this is a problem they have not heard of yet and they’re going to have to immediately issue a software fix , so if you want to continue to use CarPlay and you don’t normally carry a key fob in your pocket don’t install the new software update until the fixes outAfter installing the new update this weekend, I got a front camera error notice with the call customer service note.

Why is it that no matter what an OTA addresses, it is not enough. I received my AGT in May 2022 and it has software version 1.2.1. It definitely left a lot to be desired, but it was still a blast to drive. I accepted that there would be software updates and each update would be an improvement. My Son and I drove my Lucid to CA and back with this software without any real problem. The Nav system worked well enough to get us to charging stations. We only had to call Lucid once to help get a charging station to work. As long as the Adaptive Cruise Control worked, I was happy as that was a much as my previous care had (2014 Subrau Outback). I was too green about EV to know any better. I take each OTA as making my car better and don't try to second guess Lucid fixing one thing but not another. I don't worry about what other EV's do because it does affect my Lucid. If I thought different model EV was better, I would have gotten it and not the Lucid. I really splurged when I bought my Lucid and it will be my last car as I am 78. Sure there are things that could be better, but mechanically the car has be flawless. There have only been a couple of minor issues, but they never affected driveablity. In short quite bitching about what you don't have and enjoy what your Lucid has at this moment, it will only get better.WE WANT MORE!!!!
My front camera fails if it has been in direct sunlight on a very hot day and especially when fast charging. IMHO, this is a heat issue. Camera functionality will return after 5-10 min or so after driving.After installing the new update this weekend, I got a front camera error notice with the call customer service note.

I'll have to keep an eye on that, but haven't had that happen all summer here in TX.My front camera fails if it has been in direct sunlight on a very hot day and especially when fast charging. IMHO, this is a heat issue. Camera functionality will return after 5-10 min or so after driving.

I had this with the previous version, but after a few seconds it would detect the key. It never happened before that.I just found a major software bug that Lucid is going to have to immediately change about the new 20 update, if you use your phone as your key as I do with no key fob in your pocket, which is always worked perfectly for me it no longer works after the software update as soon as you start, Apple play, Apple play fails and no key is detected comes on the screen.

How is Apple CarPlay working on Rivian?It is just sad compared to the updates that my Rivian gets every few weeks. The Rivian is already an amazing vehicle and they continue to add thoughtful and very useful features with each update. Wish Lucid could do the same.

Try toggling Bluetooth off/on on the iPhone. This usually fixes issues like this. BTW, I have over 24,000 miles on my Lucid and have not carried the key fob since I took delivery.I just found a major software bug that Lucid is going to have to immediately change about the new 20 update, if you use your phone as your key as I do with no key fob in your pocket, which is always worked perfectly for me it no longer works after the software update as soon as you start, Apple play, Apple play fails and no key is detected comes on the screen.
