Perhaps I miss read the parameters. I somehow thought from an earlier forum conversation that 32GB was max. In any event. the Lucid techs would have informed me otherwise if a larger drive would work. At least I assume so. However, I'll take your suggestion and give it a try.

America is suit happy, and I don't mean the kind you wear with a necktie. Agreed, this whole class action thing is nonsense. Wait, hey, my USB drive doesn't work, maybe I should sue? <g>

Actually, the folks at Lucid did what you suggested. It was not any one file. It has to do with the total number of files. The same USB drive played one day just fine and then after an update refused to load past 23 percent. This wasn't the only USB drive to have this problem. I loaded totally...

I have a 32GB USB stick formatted with FAT32. It contains about 7GB total MP3 files, but there are about 50 files. Until update 2.1.3 it played fine. After that, it froze loading at 21 percent. I complained to Lucid. In its exemplary customer service, it asked me to leave my car at the Goose...

Here's a credible, well-written article about how the EPA determines range estimates: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/01/heres-how-the-epa-calculates-how-far-an-ev-can-go-on-a-full-charge/

Not sure what the appropriate protocol is, but I listed my Lucid Air Touring on November 1 for $88,000. The car now has 8,000 miles and I've lowered the price to $75K.

I am revising this listing. The car now has 8,000 miles, still in perfect condition. Willing to sell for $75K. DM me if interested.

We were driving the 150 miles from home near Champaign to Chicago for a radio appearance last night (12/30), on WFMT with a 10-mile detour to drop off the dog with my partner's sister while we proceeded into the city for dinner with friends and the broadcast. We had hoped to do a little shopping...

Consider the Lucid advertising about how fast its cars can charge. . . . It doesn't matter that I don't get 350kw. I'd be perfectly happy with a steady, reliable 150kw. I know the charger says: "Up to 350kw." I get it. But I'm really tired of charging at less than, usually far less than, 125kw...

Two items: 1. I know the precise range of my Lucid, When I reach my destination in Rockford, IL I need to charge to 90 percent to get home with 20 percent left. On Christmas the weather was so adverse I still had to stop for a second charge 3/4 of the way home. At that charger I only charged to...

I've given up on AA. I'm hoping for world peace.

The Lucid SurrealSound Pro is somewhat bass shy, but I must say it is exceptionally low in distortion. It's not what I hoped for in overall sound quality (I'm not including Atmos), but at least it does not cause listening fatigue like some automotive systems. I play music from a USB drive MP3...

I agree, leaving one's car hogging a charger is unforgivable. However, so is receiving the repeated message something akin to: Charging speed slowed by charger. This is absolute nonsense. Twice I pulled up to so-called "Hyper 350kw" chargers and reached a max speed of 125, which quickly feel to...

We live within two hours of the path of totality. However, we'll be driving the ICE car to view it, not the Lucid. The last eclipse also tracked within two hours of normal driving time from our house. However, it took five hours to get home and that's only because we knew the road system well...

When I was covering automotive electronics/infotainment for the Chicago Tribune, ca. 1990, Ford engineers told me they really wanted to switch to 24 volts for weight and cost savings. The issue holding them back at that time was light bulbs. Bulbs with 24v filaments were too fragile for on-road...

I've had long experience with Consumer Reports dating back to the 1970s. I reviewed audio components for many years. CR didn't get it. They once rated a Lafayette receiver (the house brand of a long gone electronics chain) as the best. If you removed the case, it was a piece of junk. The Bose...

Seasons make a big difference. When the temperature is over 55 I average 3.5-3.8 miles/kwh. When temperature is below 45 I average 3.0-3.2 miles /kwh under identical driving style and conditions. When it's really cold it dips below 3.0.

We all know the icon that does the following: "Activating this feature maintains the current cabin temperature after exiting the vehicle for 45 minutes." I just want to confirm that applies not only to cooling, but also to heating? I am aware that leaving the heater on will drain the batteries...

Although my car is spending the night at Goose Island, my phone notified me that the .43 upgrade was available. I tapped "install" and it updated 150 miles away. Pretty cool.

For the first six months I drove my Air Touring the USB input worked just fine. Over the years I've made myself dozens of "favorites" compilations migrating from cassette to CD to phone to thumb drives. I bought a 16 GB brand name USB thumb drive, formatted it in FAT32 and transferred about 7 GB...
