All of these incremental improvemenst are good. Early Air realizable highway mi/kWh is signficantly below EPA metrics. Perhaps that's why Lucid hasn't change its EPA ratings even with some incremental efficiency improvements.

Rivian has a number of RAN chargers en-route from Phoenix to Marin. I've not been to the Jousha Tree RAN. There is one at Barstow, and several along I-5 from Bakrsield to Corete Madera (and beyond). The RAN chargers are fast and well maintained.

What kind of driving? Speed? City? Hwy?

I hate to admit this, TECHNICALLY-SPEAKING, I agree with you, in that the lessee's contract is with BofA and not with Lucid. But, if Lucid follows this path, I think it is suicidal. Lucid should dump BofA and/or impose Luicid's inspection criteria as the norm. Lucid better recognize that...

So, you point is, the issue with lease returns is with BofA, not with Lucid. BofA can set any ccriteria and any inspection they desire, independent of Lucid. And in Josh's case, he is luck to get off easy. But BofA can exrcise whatever inspect criteria and whatever charges they desire?! If...

Perhaps there is a new faster CPU and memory upgrade coming for Gravity that would fix these problems?! 🤣

Yes, wheel size matters. Need to derate the achievable range accordingly.

That would be great! Please share your data with us. Keep a log on your speeds as well. Speed, elevation change, temperature, and AC usage are key modulating factors.

2.7mi/kWh equates to (roughly) 330 mile range, about 74% of the claimed range (450mi). These metrics are similar to what the Air achieved. But we need more data and controlled efficiency/range tests to pin it down for the Gravity.

If indeed there is such dramatic difference between the 2022 and 2025 AGTs, wouldn't Lucid make a big deal of it and change the efficiency/range specs? The 2022 and 2025 spec-claims can't be both correct at the same time?

As I said in my post, I follow OoS and I respect Kyle's work. Additionally, I am NOT saying OoS did their testing at high elevation with the intention to make the mileag/efficiency results more favorable. For those of you who don't follow OoS closely, Kyle's OoS operation is based in Ft...

Thank you for compiling the above data. I agree with your take on the 10% challenge. In many respect, it reflects the actual usage of the car on roadtrips (efficiency, charging speed, # charging stops per trip, etc.). Unlike many of you, I bought my 2022 AGT mostly because of the claimed...

I haven't seen this OoS video in particular. That said, I am familiar with OoS's reviews. Let me start by saying that I enjoy Kyle's OoS review and i respect his work. OoS has done many of these range testing on EVs. On an apple-to-apple comparison (i.e., diffrent EVs, same tests) I think...

As you noted, the Taycan has better charging performance than the AGT. Perhaps the Gravity can do better. As you noted, the AGT, at 80mph, registered about 3.2miles/kWh. But the Taycan is actuallly more efficient, wasn't that the case? On specs alone, Lucid AGT would look like it blows away...
