    19" vs 21" Tires: Ride Quality/Range Difference

    Is ‘low rolling resistance’ only applicable to 21” tires? Hard to believe Lucid would spec an OEM 21” tire having a roiling resistance with a 13.5% hit on range over a 19” multi season tire. I surmise that whatever difference of “rolling resistance” between the two, the high performance 21” is...

    19" vs 21" Tires: Ride Quality/Range Difference

    It is not the vehicle weight factor, but reduction in wheel rotational energy we are trying factor in with your lighter wheels. However you mention your replacements not “aerodynamically designed”. Thus lack of possible aerodynamic efficiency a negative factor while lighter wheel weight a...

    19" vs 21" Tires: Ride Quality/Range Difference

    Demosthenes: My thoughts on your example is if the radius of gyration, tire pressure, tread compound/design, and wheel aerodynamics identical with your OEM takeoffs then range increase would be directly proportional to percent weight reduction -at any given speed. Of course rotational inertia...

    19" vs 21" Tires: Ride Quality/Range Difference

    Are you implying that the 21” GT wheel range reduction of approx 10% is due to tire type and wheel aerodynamic difference with the 19” M+S rated tire? Rather than the greater rotational energy of the 21” tire? How do you discount wheel weight and radius of gyration increase of that larger wheel...

    19" vs 21" Tires: Ride Quality/Range Difference

    A very interesting thread, but I have been unable to locate the real “elephant in the room”, which I believe is the rotational energy impacts of the two wheel sizes. Out of spec Kyle thinks the 21”s look “cool”, so what does “cool” cost in terms of energy loss? Per EPA approximately 10%. (4.2...

    19" vs 21" Tires: Ride Quality/Range Difference

    I do not understand the “smaller contact area”? Are the 21” wider as the od is the same.

    Question to Lucid owners; has your opinion on range anxiety changed after owning the Lucid Air?

    Appears we’re from same ‘neck of the woods’ Michael. I took delivery end of June and currently have 12,877 miles. I’ve installed a level 2 and no longer use any of the local EA chargers you referenced. Coming back from Denver trip I used Boise EA and then Ellensburg which I recall only had one...

    Question to Lucid owners; has your opinion on range anxiety changed after owning the Lucid Air?

    Delivery June 30, currently 12,701 miles. Live in Seattle area, first trip to Denver, navigator blanked out, range anxiety on way down. Two separate calls to Newark CC, for charger location assistance and real time routing. Return navigator on line -no anxiety. Second trip to Michigan. Some...

    OTA 1.2.19

    Are you referring to Newark Customer Service? If so they must really have been inundated lately as my experience precisely opposite. Always get a tech service individual immediately and then they stay with me for however long to resolve an issue. Local service center not so good, but totally...

    OTA 1.2.19

    Enjoy posts that are more facts and data oriented rather than opinions. Opinions can be helpful if based on knowledge, but many seem to be long winded desertions crying to be heard.

    New OTA?

    Same here. 1.2.185 yesterday and before I had a chance to explore, 1.2.19 now updating. Plan on a couple hundred miles today which should make for a good checkout ride.

    Trunk not closing solution

    I’ve used the ‘manual’ method a few times for both Frunk & Trunk. Yesterday used it for the Frunk, then had a red Frunk image alert on pilot panel. Reclosing from pilot panel cleared the alert. I’ve noticed that leaving either open for a period of time requires manual closings

    New OTA?

    My recollection is that ‘10’ improved range. My GT went from 510 at 100% to 521 at 100%. The 521 at 100% consistently during approx 5000 mile round trip from Washington to Michigan late Aug - early Sep.

    Free Charging

    My original concern was a possible defect in the system which allowed energy input to the batteries Infinitum leading to battery overheat. I’m a bit smarter now realizing that 98 or 99% gets 505 to 508 miles in less than an hour on a 350KWH charger while 100% at least another 30 minutes for 510...

    Lucid Air GT cross country trip LIVE

    Thank you, I’m not familiar with ABRP app? Would you expand? On our first day on route from Cle Elum Washington to Denver we lost Navigator. Just a black screen , but returned two days later and worked as expected on return. Did you have any Navigator issues? Likewise we found 150KWH almost same...
