LUCID AIR SOFTWARE & MOBILE APP DEEP DIVE! HUGE UPDATES FOR VERSION 2.4 WITH ADAS & MORE

EV Channels Review

This deep dive into the Lucid Air Grand Touring's software and mobile app reveals a system that, while visually stunning and generally user-friendly, has some notable areas for improvement. The reviewer praises the snappy performance thanks to the new hardware chip and the beautiful UI/UX, highlighting features like physical climate controls and customizable themes. However, criticisms include the lack of automatic brightness, the absence of an OLED screen, and the inability to perform simultaneous seat adjustments for driver and passenger. The navigation system, while capable, lacks granular control over arrival state of charge and doesn't offer shared history with the mobile app. The audio system is good but not exceptional, with limitations in low-end response and Dolby Atmos support primarily tied to the clunky Tidal app. The mobile app offers useful features like remote preconditioning and a range spider, but lacks direct widget control and native Apple Music support. While Lucid's software is impressive, it falls short of being class-leading in several aspects, particularly in app functionality and advanced driver-assistance system integration, though the reviewer acknowledges the brand's commitment to OTA updates and continuous improvement.
