My lifetime efficiency on my 2022 AGT is 3.55 over 22,000 miles. About 70-75% percent of that mileage were logged between Phoenix AZ and Marin County CA (I-10-CA 215-I5) with speeds between 70mph to 75mph. As such, it is pretty consistent with OP's #s and the other AGT owners. In real life...

was it a Lucid QA breakdown or was it Gravity? Lucid's "Gravity Picnic", staged about 2 years ago in December 2024, was supposed to show Gravity is ready for production ramp. Perhaps some of the top Lucid exec's bonus depended on hitting that milestone. Several owners in this forum attended...

It is one thing to market a sleek sedan and a luxury SUV at $100k+/- ASP, it is a totally different take when you need to succeed in a larger market, $50,000 or less mid-size, with good specs and range, and be profitable. Most of the Air/Gravity buyers have multiple cars and "don't mind" or...

NI am not implying that. You just have to pay out-of-pocket.

While I agree that the EPA test methodology, which is based on ICE cars, is not a good fit for EVs, I think the EV manufacturers also have a moral responsibility to inform their customers as to what the actual performance (efficiency, realistic range, etc.) of the EV. While I think some of the...

Does EPA ACTUALLY run the battery down all the way or do they extrapolate from the tests and the energy consumption and the battery capacity??

Your car is out of warranty (except for battery/powertrain). Do you have extended warranty?

I have driven my 2022 AGT between Phoenix/Bay Area, I-10/CA-210/I5, 780 miles door-to-door multiple times. (more than 10X). I always drive the speed limit (70-75mph), maybe 2-3mph higher to compensate for the sandbagging. My efficiency rating on these trips is ~3.6mi/kWh. This is pretty good...

I think the explanation @exxxviii summarized is the correct interpretation. Inasmuch as people want to blame EPA, the EPA range tests (avg of 48mph of mixed highway/city driving) were never supposed to be interpreted as US highway range @70-75mph. The confusion arose when the car...

on the Air? I think they are air scoops. Other owners more knowledgeable can answer better.

Let's up-level a bit: > Is Waymo routing and dispatch perfect? No! I use Waymo for many years. There are issues with Waymo's routing/ mapping algorithms. Water hazard is one area Waymo can improve. In the Phoenix area, we have our monsoon season every year. Yes, cars, including Waymos...

I am not an expert in hydrology. Yes, I do understand some areas could floor when it rains heavily. I see that all the time. And yes, every time it rains, some idiotic drivers get trapped in these flooded areas. As you inferred, those flood-prone areas can be geo-fenced. But extrapolating...

I am an Arizona resident. I also have a 2nd home in Marin County. I was an on-the-road eyewitness of Waymo's embarrassing episode in SF last December. That said, I think some people are generalizing that Waymo cannot operate in rainy weather. Thta's simply not true. In the December 2025...

Well, Lucid has a Chief Customer Officer. The C-suite has been in place oor more than 1Q. Perhaps it is time for them to come forth and address the issues and chart the path forward. Around the time when Napoli was hired, Lucid was going to have their customer guy (forgot his name) to do an...
