Lucid Air Review After 26,000 Miles: More Range, But Also A Huge Downside

Speaking of software updates, the Air received more than 60 OTA updates over three years. At first, nobody at Edmunds really wanted to drive the Air because it would glitch out or ride poorly. On occasion, the doors wouldn't even unlock. Now, everyone is eager to get behind the wheel. That speaks volumes about the advantages of a software-defined vehicle.

That's not an advantage, that's a disadvantage of "software-defined vehicles". Lucid threw a super expensive car on the market, and the technical capability of OTA allowed them to ship a product that was so bad, that the customers didn't want use it. The only "advantage" here is that companies don't have to finish their products before selling them.
