The Air better get a lot higher efficiency number than the Gravity. Shouldn't even be close.

Yeah, unless his average drive speed is 30 MPH with virtually nothing over 60, those 3.8 and 4.2 figures seem way out of whack. (Unless he has it on km instead of miles. ☺️) Like others said, the trip meter is real. It's what actual happened. The Dynamic range number is just an estimated...

Here's mine. Trip A is lifetime, trip B is the road trip we did the last 2 weeks. Roughly 75% of our miles are road trips with an average speed of 75 MPH. 5-seat small wheels (450 EPA).

We just returned from another 2500 mile road trip using the Starlink mounted on the roof with the magnet feet, this time through the same CO-UT-NV-ID-WY route that was cutting in/out before when I was hanging the dish on the inside window at 45 degrees. I wondered if maybe it was just some...

3.6??? In my dreams. I average 2.8 MPK on the highway in the summer. Granted, half of those road trip miles are at 80 MPH instead of 75 or 70, but I don't sniff anything close to 3.6 on the highway, even at 70-75.

People call EV range displays GOMs (Guess-O-Meters) for a reason. It's only an estimate. It's impossible for the car to know how and where you're doing to drive, what the temperature and wind will be, etc. It just knows what it WAS on your more recent drives and assumes the same (which is...

Exactly. And more to the point, they compare real world range to EPA because the EPA range number is the official stat that the vehicle is advertised with. Making it the number that most buyers use to determine whether that model fits their wants and needs, and sets their expectations by...

Oh there should absolutely be a range number for EVs. Primarily highway as the main, advertised number. But there does need to be a standard methodology for producing that number. That's where government comes in, and is currently failing by trying to force ICE methodology onto EVs. At present...

There's still plenty of valid blame for the EPA. First off, they shouldn't apply/require the old ICE methodology to EVs at all. That's the real problem. EPA methodology for ICE is fine. It's designed for ICE and it provides information pertinent to what people care about. The vast majority...

I wish. Still waiting (and waiting) on Lucid to do anything.

For the most part the walkaway lock isn't the problem. There are times it locks a bit too quickly (as the other poster said, when just walking around the car), but for the most part the distance is about right. For me the real issue is getting it unlocked if it does lock too quickly. If it just...

I find myself keeping a door or the liftgate open when I'm going back and forth to the car so it doesn't keep locking, to avoid it taking up to 40 seconds to recognize the fob to unlock again. Annoying.

No cardkey either? I have my issues with the Lucid fob, but I don't know what more they can do than offer THREE ways to unlock the car. If someone fails to keep any pf the 3 available to them, well... at least turn off walkaway lock.

What annoys me is that I can't just open the driver door and change the height on the fly when I need to do something like wipe down the roof of the car. That's about the only time I ever change height. They presumably don't let you do that because lowering it with the door open could catch it...

Yeah, in this day and age of researching everything ahead of time on the internet, I don't need anyone to "sell me" on a vehicle. I know what I want. Where I want the company to provide resources is service and support AFTER we've committed to the purchase and AFTER we've taken delivery.

I'd love some cool new features too, but given Lucid's tenuous state, my priority is just hoping everything on the car I have now works. Getting service is already big chore (although it appears to be less bad for those living close to the best service centers). I own mine, not lease. Other...

They're in the process of rebuilding the company just to survive, so I'm not surprised feature releases for already-sold cars aren't the priority. Curious though what feature releases you're referring to? I know of PAAK, which they recently said is pushed to next year. I'm more concerned with...

And you can't take the car out of gear without having to start all over. I learned that when I stopped at the mailbox. Stopped there, put it in park, left the driver door open and the car "running" for 15 seconds like normal while I grabbed the mail and got back in. Tried to put it back in...

FWIW, I have almost no problem with AA in my Gravity. I rely heavily on AA, for 99% of music and nav. Calls too but I rarely take voice calls in the car. No full screen or battery% yet though.

What did they charge you (or the insurance company)?
