Lucid Charges Owners of Older Airs for Infotainment Upgrade
Original: Lucid’s Infotainment Upgrade Is Free in Newer Airs, but Costly in Models More Than Two Years Old
Lucid is rolling out a new infotainment upgrade for the Air sedan, and ownership of the update depends on the vehicle's age. Drivers with newer Air models receive the upgrade free of charge, while owners of cars older than two years must pay to get it. The tiered approach has drawn attention because it raises questions about how long automakers should support software features in vehicles already sold.
Why now: Owners and industry watchers are debating whether it is fair to charge for software updates on cars sold just a couple of years earlier.
