Used Lucid Air GT Questionable Battery & Odometer?

Air Touring
I just purchased a used 2023 Lucid Air GT after my original 2023 Air Touring was totaled. The odometer read somewhere around 26K miles.

I noticed after purchase that the battery condition was a little questionable. My average driving would go from around 3.2 mi/kwh down to barely above 2.9 mi/kwh, both on the 20" wheels. I did a test at 70mph on HW101 and my AT would get around 3.5-3.7 kwh easy, but this was only just cracking 3.1 kwh. All done with no AC, flat roads, around 70 degree whether.

I checked out the testmycode.cc link that someone in this forum created (many thanks!) and saw a few points. The battery health is at 95% and my capacity is around 102 kwh, just above 90% of the original 112 kwh. Any notable things from below? The battery health seems in-line with what everyone else is seeing.

However, does anyone know about the chassisState? I'm curious as to why my odometer was purchased at 26K miles and now driven to around 28K miles, but he chassis state odoemter reading has it at 45K miles (seen below).

"vehicleState": {
"batteryState": {
"range": 677,
"chargePercent": 94.50000140815973,
"kwHr": 96.78999783657491,
"capacityKwHr": 102.42999771051109,
...
"batteryHealthLevel": 95.00000141561031,
...
"chassisState": {
"odometer": 45556.10067883879, --> shouldn't this be 28K??

45556 km, not miles. The API variables are metric, as is most product engineering these days.

The difference in efficiency is disappointing but within what seems normal being reported in the forums. Your old AT was on the higher side of normal while your new AGT is on the lower.

There are several older threads on the subject of efficiency that you may find helpful.
 
Heh. Could you guess where I'm from? Thank you!

Anything notable about the battery and range efficiency? Perhaps I'm just not used to GT compared to the Touring.
 
I don't see anything glaring...
Here's an older thread you may find interesting -

Sounds normal. My lIfetime average with a '22 AGT on 19" wheels is 3.44.

Land of the free, home of the brave and units-impaired, like most of us!

A GT's efficiency will be lower than a Touring. Maybe more so in city driving. Still quite good for such a powerful vehicle.

For someone who is not tech savvy how do I use my test my code.cc link to find out my battery health .When I go online to my lucid app where do I see this link to access it?
 
Hey WildRide47,
Just enter testmycode.cc in your browser address and it should bring you to the site. From there you enter your Lucid login and password and the information will be given to you. You have the option to share your information anonymously to compare to other Lucids too.

Thank you. Was not previously aware I could check the battery health online. I have a 2022 AGT now over 4 years old. However, when I brought my car in for the 3 year maintenance 15 months ago, they said they wanted to replace my battery even though I had no warnings or problems. Results on my replacement battery of 15 months now show capacity of 105.9299. Battery health 98, so it appears I have 94.57% of my original battery capacity of 112 still intact.
 
My car is cureently getting wrapped - I'll report back when I get the chance. Perhaps my sample size was too low with the city driving and it being fairly warm in the bay.

Looking around the relevant threads, likely just GT being more impacted by stop-n-go inefficiencies of city driving much more than the Touring, as well as my former Touring just being on the higher side of the efficiency curve (3.2 mi/kwh after 40k miles before my accident, 20" wheels with Michelin PS variants).
 
The are on relatively new tires with a decnet amount of tread left - Michelin Pilot Sport EVs. I believe they were changed somewhat recently, likely at the 20-24k mile mark.
 
Speaking of wraps, there is a used GT for sale near me that I was going to take a look at. It's been for sale at an Infiniti dealership for awhile. It has a matte dark green wrap over the Infinite Black paint. I wasn't a fan, and since it's been sitting, I assume others aren't either. I called yesterday to schedule a test drive and was told "it's out getting the wrap removed" 😆
 
After some more time in the car, I definitely think there is an issue with my vehicle and its battery, it simply drains far too fast both driving and not.

- Numerous days of parking in underground garage overnight where it drains 4-5% between 6PM and 9AM.
- Never seeing anything above 3.4 mi/kwh, even on 55mph express ways
- Just now, a short drive of 12 miles after charging my car overnight brought it down from 80% to 74% of regular smooth cruising.

Hope service will have some solutions or explanations for whats going on.
 
Bumping this to say that, bizarrely, the code check website is reporting the exact same data for me as OP's:

Code:
    Field 4, capacity_kwhr: 102.42999771051109
    Field 5, battery_health: WARNING_OFF (1)
    Field 6, low_charge_level: WARNING_OFF (1)
    Field 7, critical_charge_level: WARNING_OFF (1)
    Field 9, preconditioning_status: BATTERY_PRECON_OFF (1)
    Field 10, preconditioning_time_remaining: 65535
    Field 11, battery_health_level: 95.00000141561031

My 2023 Air GT has ~15k miles, but the values are literally identical. Makes me think this isn't a great estimate.
