    Thinking about buying a used Air, how can I tell how the previous owner charged it?

    Yes. You're right, that would be one way to calculate battery health. Divide the indicated remaining range by the current SOC percentage, then divide the result by the car's rated EPA range.

    Thinking about buying a used Air, how can I tell how the previous owner charged it?

    For those with older Air’s, does the Air’s in-car display take into account battery degradation for the rated range? The rated range for the Air Grand Touring should be: 19" wheels: 512 miles 20" wheels: 480 miles 21" wheels: 446 miles What number do you get when you divide the rated range by...

    Goodbye and farewell after 40 months

    ...very large range. Between winter temperatures, driving in the mountains, adverse wind, not using 100% of capacity, and steady battery degradation as the years go by, a long range has a lot of appeal. If I actually got the EPA range, than Lucid's range would be more than I ever need. But...

    Taking Care of the Battery - Suggestions from Battery Engineer from Lucid

    ...it will take care of you. While you can charge the battery way you like without worry, taking some simple steps can slow down the battery degradation. I agree with the general advice to not stress over battery charge. Occasional 100% charge and 0% discharge is fine when you need every mile...

    Taking Care of the Battery - Suggestions from Battery Engineer from Lucid

    Thanks so much for your post! I wasn't aware of these differences; I will follow the manufacturer's (and your) advice and set the max charge level to 80%.

    Taking Care of the Battery - Suggestions from Battery Engineer from Lucid

    ...be applied to another. As a career electrical engineer, I would guess that charging a Lucid car to 100% every day would increase battery degradation pretty significantly after a year or two. If you don't need to worry about range any more, why intentionally damage the battery by keeping it...

    New Home Charger Limited to 12amps

    ...This typically means I can charge my Air GT from 23% to 80% in about four hours or so. I've always cared desperately about battery degradation. Thankfully, I've lost only ten EPA rated miles in almost four years and 75,000 miles. Are you saying it would be a lot easier on the battery if...

    Leaving the car unlocked while it's in my garage

    ...I shutoff the front light and a/c cause everything is awake for about 20 to 30 minutes after that period doors handles retract but not the mirrors and everything looks as if the car was locked but for peace of mind I also let my drivers window open. I didn't notice any fob battery degradation.

    100,000 Miles!

    I'm just over 50k on my '23 Touring. I share your view of the teething pains in the early months, but love driving the car now. A quick question - what sort of tires are you using & how many sets have you run thru? What are yiour favorite tires? Thanks.

    19" vs 20" Wheels

    I’m getting up to 460 miles (4.1 m/kw) @ 100% on 19” wheels on my 2023 AGT. Obviously range will vary based on a number of factors with weather, speed, and elevation being the biggest. On that basis I average closer to 3.5 m/kw but it still puts me close to 400 miles in real world miles.

    19" vs 20" Wheels

    Rated mileage is not accurate, you will probably get more like 330. So on 19’s I’d think you’d get more like 350 with caps.

    19" vs 20" Wheels

    When you say, "426 mile Range @ 100% SoC", was that what YOU experienced, or is it the so called "Rated mileage"? When you say "Range", is that at highway speed (70-75mph), or are you just driving around town at 40mph or less?

    19" vs 20" Wheels

    ...426 miles @ 100%. Would anyone happen to know how many more miles I'd get if I went with 19" wheels @ 100%? I know there's some battery degradation because it's 2023, but I'm curious if it's just better to stick with 20" vs 19" value wise if I'm not gaining much more miles. The plan would...

    100,000 Miles!

    How did you arrive at your 493 number? Was that the miles displayed when you charge to 100% My Air GT has 75,000 miles on it, its EPA rated range (on thr display) now sits at 508 miles. But I haven’t checked in several weeks. I guess I don’t want to look.

    100,000 Miles!

    Wasn't sure where to post this, but hit 100k on my '22 GT today! Love the car- went through SO many teething issues 3 years ago - but must say the car drives like new and is super dependable. Battery life now says 493 on full charge, so not too much degradation from original 516. . I don't get...
