...EVs to consider, I screened out vehicles that didn't have the range sufficient for the altitude climb in cold weather after a 10% battery degradation. The list of options is pretty small. I know that more and more vehicles are becoming capable of short charging stops, but it's nice to not...

Yes you should definitely call Customer Service and/or use the app to schedule a service appointment. That amount of battery degradation in five hours while sitting still is not at all normal. Something is wrong.

This is one of the reasons why I want an EV with a large range. I tend to keep my vehicles for a long time, and I'd like to be happy with the range after 10 years of degradation, even on a cold winter day.

All great…until they replace MagSafe with some other type of magnet to make the phone thinner or something. I have no issue with the heat or wireless charging in the Gravity and the surface is slippery enough it doesn’t move when charging. I have the MagSafe thing from twraps in the R1S as...

...latter part does make a real difference; the standard Qi chargers in most cars (including the Gravity) are far enough from the phone's charging coils that a lot of energy gets dissipated as heat, so it gets the phone hot w/o charging it and causes battery degradation on top of the inefficiency.

This ☝️ . Given that you're a new owner, you shouldn't have any battery degradation, so changing that setting is key...

This is an estimation. Battery cells may have settled to a different voltage reading post-charge. I don't think there has been a solid way to confirm exact battery degradation for the Lucids yet. There are some estimates and guesses, but nothing has been fully confirmed as definitive.

Typically I’d get 320 miles range shown on the dashboard when charged to 80%. Today I see 319 miles range at 80% charge. Am I seeing a slow batter degradation? What range are people getting for their AWD Air when charged to 80%? I am in Northern VA and temperatures at night is about 60F. Thx.

Lucid does recommend keeping car plugged in at all times when not in use. I am no expert on battery chemistry, and since they say plug it in all the time, presumably, there’d be many times when one only drove 20 miles that day, so it’s topping off. The real issue, as I understand it, is if...

Well, the Teslalogger was founded in 2018. My usecase was to monitor my business trips to get my money back from my office. I found out many Tesla users are promoting very high ranges and very fast chargings. Teslalogger can tell you the truth. You can compare your consumption, range etc. Many...

This is the first time I’ve experienced something like this. Here in the Middle East, the weather is extremely hot, so I’m used to hearing the usual fan noise from the battery or cooling system, even when the car is in park mode. However, this time the sound was different—almost like...

...Bay to North Lake Tahoe in a Gravity. By the numbers, I'd think it should do it without a charging stop. It'll certainly manage if a person is willing to drive slower than 80. My hope is that it manages after there's 10% battery degradation, and cold winter weather between Sacramento and...

Comprehensive analysis! Thanks

...their ridiculously valuable EVs to enter the US market Lucid faces significant operational, service, and solvency challenges Bad battery degradation Gravity turns out to be a 1st gen lemon factory Potential high resale value scenarios: In these scenarios the market value price is higher...

I can confirm US cars have a different update path than Europe. LucidLogger / TeslaLogger is tracking versions and 2.7.1 are only available in US and 2.7.2 only in Europe. https://teslalogger.de/lucid_firmware.php If anybody want to share their firmware / charging curves / degradation of...

Thank you. I will relax and continue to enjoy the Air.

...issues, regular oil changes, and brake and rotor replacements. With an EV, you're already way ahead in terms of long-term reliability and maintenance, whether you’re leasing or owning. Battery degradation is often overhyped. In practice, it’s not something most owners ever need to worry about.

...cold weather efficiency numbers. A big part of the Gravity's appeal is a range rating big enough to still provide a great range after cold weather, a heavy foot, and a bit of battery degradation have all taken their toll. Maybe one of our Argentinian brethren will get a vehicle and report...

Think also about the transmissions and oil changes you’d have paid for in a ICE vehicle over 20 years.

I cannot swear to the accuracy of this report, but it's worth considering. It's from INSIDE EVs dated June 19, 2025: According to Geotab, a United Kingdom company providing vehicle telematics, most EV batteries can last 20 years with minimal annual degradation. That’s six years more than the...
