FWIW: on the few long distance trips that I have driven, in good driving conditions without any significant grade changes, at speeds around 70 to 75 MPH I have learned to give a 20 to 25% haircut to the range reported on the guess o meter. My air GT has never shown more than 505 miles at 100%...

ap in the tesla is far superior to the lucid system

I don't believe that any current lucid has air suspension

this makes no sense.

that does happen occasionally, you should add plugshare to your phone and check the chargers along your route that day to be certain that the chargers are actually working.

why not charge the car to 100% to begin your trip? if you want to mitigate the ranges losses slow down to about 70-75 mph and once the cabin is warmed up turn off the heat and rely on the seat heaters to stay comfy

hypermile? are the nerds still doing that? the purpose of a car is to transport me from place to place at optimal speed. The Air currently has EVs that offer the highest ranges despite the reality that the "bogus" claims of range can never be met. my rule thumb is to knock 20% off of whatever...

I have not seen better than 4.2 at 70+ mph, 65moh down here in fla is just too slow

with 21 inch wheels you probably will not do too much better

My issue with the L3 charging in my lucid is the charging curve, yes it can be very fast, at first, but the tapering kicks in very quickly and once the car gets to 30% the tapering kicks in. when the car gets past 50% things do slow down a lot. the BMS needs to be adjusted, the tapering...

to counter balance this, I also recently returned from a 2k road trip and other than 2 EA chargers that did not do plug n charge, I used the ap to get the charge started, I did not encounter any other issues at EA units. I have made numerous long distance trips in the past and have had issues...

I am not here to defend EA and I have had many issues charging other EVs at EA units, but I have charged my Air at some of the locations you have tried to charge at and did not have any issues like you have had as I noted on a report of my recent road trip. for me the EA charging experience...

your problems appear to be that plug n charge does not seem to be working for you as evidenced by your being able to initiate charging via the lucid app. that occasionally will happen, contact service and see if they can work things out for you.

there is a demo setting that is used by the studios to limit speed for test drives, it is possible that it was not disengaged before delivery. you need to contact the service people

your utility charges .32 per kwh? I thought that my .12 was high

the flaw in your theory is that you don't factor in all the car manufacturers who give years of free charging to the buyers of their cars. almost all of the free charging is on the EA network. in the short period of time that I was paying for charging I easily found other networks that are less...

I have recently used some of the chargers being referred to. Pooler GA is fairly well known as being troublesome. however other than congestion issues I have never not been able to get a charge there. Florence SC usually is a good place to charge, however like many chargers there can be issues...

there are FPL chargers close by with a similar speed but I believe that the FPL chargers cost less.

it was more annoying than scary, I knew exactly where the EA charger was. It was 92 degrees out and without AC blowing it gets hot in the car fast. as soon as I plugged in the AC turned on the seats are comfy enough, I just can't seem to find the best positioning for me.

the only L3 charging before stopping for the night was done in the afternoon and I only charged to less than 70%, the problem with doing your L3 charging first thing in the AM is that the car is not preconditioned and that could affect the charging speed, and as I noted the charging curve is not...
