So I’ve noticed a lot of posts on this forum regarding range and many people are upset that the Air doesn’t meet its EPA numbers. I tried to do some digging and came across this article.
I suspect Lucid was also generous with their adjustments, like Tesla.
Some interesting things about the test that stick out to me are that they test it without wind resistance. And as a result downgrade the range by 30%.
I’m starting to think that other range tests like Edmunds or InsideEVs are much better. Sine they actually drive them more like real people.
I mean who does 18 second 0-60 accelerations and drives 55 miles on the highway like the EPA? That what it seems you have to do to get the listed range.
