    Getting Android Auto into the Lucid

    I fully agree with Halodde's post. I definitely value the pet safety feature (we have a dog who loves our Lucid), that was not part of the promise when I bought the car. I was promised Android Auto. It should not have to be a work-around with a third-party device. I've owned my Lucid Air Touring...

    Perhaps I should have bought a GT....

    The 100 percent charge won't add the 50 miles I need. I already charge to 100 percent when taking trips of over 200 miles. Sure I also could run the battery down to 5 percent as well and quickly destroy it.

    Perhaps I should have bought a GT....

    This may not be technically possible, but it's a sacrifice I'd be willing to make. It kind of reminds me of something I once read in a Ray Bradbury science fiction story. I'd be happy for Lucid to take two years off my battery warranty in return for increasing my range by 20 percent. I don't...

    12V failure and what to do.

    This really is more complicated than desirable. How many Lucid owners carry around hard copy of the manual? I keep an Android tablet in the glovebox with the latest manual in its memory. but if the car is dead, I can't access the glovebox. With nearly every ICE car when the 12v battery dies you...

    USB Media Guidelines and Tips!

    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.

    I'm Considering a Class Action Suit

    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>

    USB Media Guidelines and Tips!

    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...

    USB Media Guidelines and Tips!

    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...

    The good, bad and the ugly

    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...

    Electrify America is enraging EV owners

    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...

    Electrify America is enraging EV owners

    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...

    Surreal sound basic audio is now excellent

    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...

    Electrify America is enraging EV owners

    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...
