Tired of lack of Android support

[Magsdad65]

If android auto is super important to you, you can get the carlinkit device mentioned elsewhere on this forum. Yes, it is not native and that is annoying, but it satisfies your goal. Meanwhile, android has an app… it’s not like there is nothing…the new iOS app looks very nice but, other than retaining the last known tire pressure, introduces no new features at this time.

I can appreciate that the iOS version of the app is nothing new at this point, however telling someone that has spend $100K on a car to go out and buy an adapter if you want the car to work with your phone is absurd.

Can they do anything about googl dragging their feet? No, but if we aren't free to voice frustrations or concerns in the forum without being told to get over it, what's the point to the forum?

Sorry, but the comment is out of line imo.

It’s not out of line, It’s a suggestion to compensate for a shitty situation. He even said it’s not ideal but if you can’t wait then something exists.

I think the majority agrees that it shouldn’t have taken Lucid this long and no one is blaming people for venting. You / they have every right to be annoyed and are free to post those annoyances here, just as others are allowed to offer suggestions, disagree etc.

Absurd? No, it’s a solution. Your attitude is absurd.

[ Once it gets delivered, everybody will be happy, and this and other Android topics can hopefully fade into the background of old posts.

Will it? It won't be perfect. Some will be happy, many will be satisfied, and the rest will want be next version immediately

I anticipate a long thread called “Android Auto Issues.”

Lucid has said, on this very forum, that it is being held up by Google and is outside of Lucid’s hands. I’m not entirely sure what you would prefer they do; they aren’t buying Google.

Buying Google won't help. I already did that. Not all of it, though. It won't fix the problem, but I could sell 600 shares or so and buy another Lucid...or something that works with Android Auto and makes me wonder why I'm driving it when I could be using the Lucid.

When life has such huge problems such as not having Android Auto soon enough, I wonder how people can sleep at night.

You obviously didn't buy enough. Buy the whole thing next time

I'm really getting tired of the lack of Android support by Lucid, whether it be no Android Auto or the new app experiences being released for iOS only with Android coming "in early 2025" with no date specified. When is early...Jan? Feb? March? April? Is this the same timing as AA being available in late Fall? I get that AA is in testing, but it's been the better part of a year since CarPlay was released.

Lucid is choosing not to prioritize Android, which is their right to do, but after 2 years of ownership I'm not interested in continuing to prioritize investing in an ongoing 2nd tier user experience, or recommending others do so.

Couldn't agree more. Come on, Lucid folks, give some love to the Android side, eh?

The point of this forum is most certainly not to vent. We make that pretty explicit here, including in our guidelines.

The point of the forum is to help people who need information or are looking for workarounds or solutions.

There are thousands of places to vent on the internet. This is not one of them.
