Your life time is as same as mine, so we must have close parameters or driving style.
0.8 mi/kWh is worse than Hummer EV.
That number happens to me when I go into garage listening to Tidal ATMOS and massage to fall asleep.

I haven't checked my mileage since it was moved from the main screen and don't intend to check either
Just drove from San Diego to Anaheim (90ish miles) after charging to 100%.
77mph cruise, Full car, AC(front and rear) and massage going. Averaged 3.2. Seems about right for what others are seeing on 21".
Usually i average 2.6 driving around town. Lots of hills. Lifetime average is 3

I started out 2.6, then over the course of 6000 miles driven, I watched that lifetime number went to as high as 3.1 then receded back to 3.0. At least point, I don’t care as much, just drive and focus avoiding rough roads and pot holes as my priority instead.

13500 mikes with a life time average of 3.0 as well. Seems like a common data point

I lived in Tempe 84 to 86. Ideal weather for EV. Flat too.

My formula for any EV just to be realistic is as follows: EPA Range * 0.8 but then we want to charge when it is 20%. So the realistic range of 80% to 20% is about 0.64* EPA range. So that means 330 miles non-stop on GT and 260 miles non-stop on Pure. 260 miles at 70mph is 3hr 45min! I for sure would need a restroom break after 3hrs
. So, might as well drive as I please on a long distance trip. For local drive with charging in the garage, who cares about miles per KWh? Have fun and don't get a ticket to spoil it! We bought Lucid to enjoy anyway.I absolutely want to drive my GT as I please as well. But from 4.2 to 3.0 has nothing to do with charging when at 20%. Just trying to establish a more realistic expectation like you have come up with. I would most likely never drive a Car 3:45 Hours more than twice a Year.My formula for any EV just to be realistic is as follows: EPA Range * 0.8 but then we want to charge when it is 20%.

(It's painful but) try to average 65mph and feather it on the way back to see the difference.
Tried my best. Drove back today. Combined Average was 3.1. (Was down to 2.9 before departing for San Diego again)
Likely speed Average was 67ish.
I'm at 45% now after 186 miles. 170/50%.
This was with no heat or AC running. Music playing and Headlights on. We were VERY comfortable and the car basically drove itself back all the way.
Imo, there's no reasonable way to make my car generate a higher efficiency.
Approx 340 miles from 100-0% with 4 pax and some luggage is really pretty decent. Just not an incredible 469.
And as I've been observing...80-20% daily usage really ends up being ~200 miles.
I'm now semi seriously considering the 19"s. Get the range back up to claimed 21" numbers.
Most people don’t realize just how hilly SoCal is. This didn’t really occur to me until I drove across the country years ago. It’s hard on the range.
A local newspaper columnist specializing in road and traffic had a series of articles years ago about getting the best (EPA-like) mileage in a hybrid. One rule stood out: drive like there's an egg between your foot and the accelerator pedal. Might help, but seems unlikely in a car with as much power as the Air.

But then you could buy three Leafs for the same price and get the same performance (with foot to the floor for the Leaf).

Cant wait to see hummer ev owners crying about 0.05 miles per kw..Your life time is as same as mine, so we must have close parameters or driving style.
0.8 mi/kWh is worse than Hummer EV.
