Electric is another Diesel gate in 10 yearsI think the current economy is too volatile for Apple to consider buying anything like an electric car company. I just don’t see them taking the risk.

The post didn’t claim it’s innovative. This site covers news related to Apple, and CarPlay integration was announced today for Lucid.So What?
I've had wireless Apple Car Play on my BMW 540i for 5 years, it's not new tech or innovative
The Lucid Air from Lucid Motors was voted the 2022 MotorTrend Car of the Year because of its "level of innovation and sophistication."
If you mean it will just flop, I don’t think so. I think battery technology will advance to make it better but not entirely practical for the average car owner.Electric is another Diesel gate in 10 years
Sorry you think that but clearly you haven’t had much experience with newer BMWs. Self lane change, assisted driving, and I don’t have to deal with the atrocious build quality Tesla has. Not to mention they’re great handling cars and fun to actually drive versus rely on automation all the time.But BMW are just sad cars that nobody wants in 2023. Seriously, who will want a BMW these days instead of a safe car full of technology like Tesla.
Nobody? BMW sold 2.1 million cars last year.But BMW is the car that is too outdated and nobody wants lol
I've never even heard of this lucid thing. My big transportation dream is an original Somerville-built 1993 Fat Chance Titanium, with the wishbone stays and Campagnolo Record OR. I've spent unlimited money over the last decade buying multiples of all the classic handmade campy parts I need and scouring each one for the best condition bits from the best mold numbers. 2 original Bradbury Manitou forks, Helfrich-made Arctos 6/4 Ti stem, Merlin bar, & Syncros post, white OnZa Porcupines, an actual Tioga Disk Drive from John Tomac's stash, hardano'd Campy rims laced in a crows foot on the front, all NOS. All I need is that mythical pristine Fat Chance frame to piece together the absolutely perfect, ultimate mountain bike. I'll have about $25k in it by the time I'm done. Then I'll drive it to the trailhead in the back of my old Prius that cost $5k used, for which I still feel like I overpaid by about 30%, but you know cars, they just consume your time and money.This is really awesome news for the, like... ten people or so who have one.![]()
Good thing, Jony would have ruined it.Since Apple did not acquire Tesla. Imagine if Apple had acquired Lucid Motors. Apple should just buy Lucid Motors.

Apple Said to Have Made 'Serious Bid' of ~$240 Per Share to Acquire Tesla Around 2013

BMW's have more tech than Teslas.But BMW are just sad cars that nobody wants in 2023. Seriously, who will want a BMW these days instead of a safe car full of technology like Tesla.

A friend of the family just bought an EQS. That’s a sexy car.There’s maybe one person on Macrumors who is close to being able to afford a Lucid Air.
I have wireless car play, it might not be new or innovative tech but it’s great tech.So What?

Sorry, but that looks like a paid advertisement for Lucid. The intro was just yeah. I’m not saying it’s not a nice car, but that was just an advertisement.MKBHD review.

He’s comparing the $89,000 Tesla “base” Model S to the upgraded $139,000 Lucid Air GT. You mean for $50,000 more it’s going to be a better car? Shocking! A more reasonable comparison would be comparing the $109,000 Tesla Model S Plaid to the $107,000 Lucid Air Touring.
i think tesla UI is perfectly fine, i have my model y for 3 months now and honestly i don't miss carplay. the only shortcoming is the delay in video/audio sync.Now if we can just get Tesla to adopt CarPlay of any kind 😂😂
you basically described model y and 3.Basic things Tesla can’t even do.
You gotta be pretty rich to beta test these expensive electric cars.
I’m looking forward to an electric car that isn’t so flashy but has good range, fast charging, and reliability for a decent price. The Toyota of electric cars. Don’t need so many bells and whistles that just break, like putting motorized things that slide in and out everywhere with 17 cameras and a million quirks and features like custom hidden company Easter eggs injection molded into every nook and cranny. Yes I watch a lot of Doug Demuro videos.
I value function and reliability above all else, but it should look somewhat nice. Electric cars could be so much more simple because of their nature. Looking forward to advances in technology with batteries that are easier to swap.
i wouldn't recommend anyone to get the FSD unless they got the new X which has HW4, tesla has basically maxed out the limitation on the HW3 and its more of a fulfilling legal obligation than actual realistic full self driving.Or add FSD beta, rims, nice paint and a charger to the Plaid and you are at $131,000 which is closer to the GT. I paid 110k for my Touring fully loaded and get the $7,500 tax rebate so 102,500$ total. There is quite a bit of overlap between the Model S and the Lucid Air. Tesla has dropped their prices quite a bit recently. Lucid is offering $7,500 off currently as well.
The BMW supports the most Apple features than any other car sold! CarPlay, CarKey with UWB, iPod Out, Wireless charging, etc.But BMW are just sad cars that nobody wants in 2023. Seriously, who will want a BMW these days instead of a safe car full of technology like Tesla.
Most cars are like that. Their own sat nav works on the digital instrument display and HUDs, carplay maps does not.I love my Lucid Air and am happy about CarPlay however I am disappointed that Lucid did not implement dual screen support so no turn by turn directions on the main screen like we have when using Lucid's own nav. They also did not implement SOC information so no Apple Maps EV navigation. ATMOS support is TBD. Hopefully I get the update shortly!
Apple CarPlay maps are WAY better and more detailed than Tesla’s maps. Really wish Tesla would allow CarPlay.The option would be good for those who want it, but I think Tesla’s UI is as good or better. Except the messages app, which is awful.
Doesn’t BMW charge a yearly fee to be able to use Apple CarPlay and CarKey?The BMW supports the most Apple features than any other car sold! CarPlay, CarKey with UWB, iPod Out, Wireless charging, etc.
