    Real Life Range

    Depends on a few variables. My loss varies from 30% to almost 50%. For example, at temperature below zero when driving around town ( stop and go ), I have occasionally lost up to 50 % range. With more steady state driving, even in the coldest conditions, I lose approximately 30 -40 percent...

    Real Life Range

    Great illustration of the car’s potential. I have definitely experienced monster efficiency ,in ideal conditions. I have also experienced very low efficiency, especially with stop and go, uphills and cold weather, like my short drive today . People often think something is wrong with their...

    Driving Experience During Cold Spell In New York

    EVs are undoubtedly better in a warm climate, for a variety of obvious reasons . I have been pretty satisfied with my Air’s performance during winter. The only limitation has been reduced driving range , but I have not been negatively impacted , as most of my charging is at home. I am slightly...

    Energy limited due to cold battery

    Last year we had a stretch of minus 10 to minus 30 that lasted about 4 days. Needless to say, efficiency took a major hit ; with at least a 40 percent decline. At one point I only achieved 2.2 m/kWh. For most of the winter, I get around 2.8 m/kWh. I have an AGT with 19 inch wheels.

    Winter driving

    I drive in deeper snow on a pretty regular basis, and the car does well, with 19 all seasons. It would do better with snow tires. Put your Regen on low and be careful of icy spots. The car is heavy and can slip a bit when coming to a stop , but in my experience, traction control is excellent...

    How Long Do You Plan To Hold On To Your Lucid Air?

    For me it depends on how impulsive I am when the Gravity is released.Trade the Air in for the Gravity? Get the Gravity and keep the Air? Wait for an Air update with the interior refinements of the Gravity? Then it will be necessary to analyze the possible consequences of getting another Lucid...

    OMG I just love my Lucid!! Do you?

    Yup, feel exactly the same. When I have had an excessively stressful day at work, I go for a ride and listen to music; definitely a mood lifter. It is so enjoyable to drive; better than I ever expected. Pretty obsessed with the thing.

    Long drive, no chargers

    That’s an awfully difficult question to answer without published statistics. Most of us have been fine with our 2022s, including myself. There have been failures documented on this forum, but I wouldn’t waste too much energy worrying about it. That being said, it’s always good to be prepared for...

    Long drive, no chargers

    No problem at all, even in the absolute worst of conditions. The lowest m/kWh I ever had was around 2.1-2.3, in lots of snow and subzero temps.

    How Much Range Are You Actually Getting?

    Perhaps this has been addressed. Are you determining m/kWh on since last charge or by trip A or B?

    How Much Range Are You Actually Getting?

    I very rarely drive on freeways at 80 mph; perhaps 2-3 times a year. I know I am an outlier. Where I reside, 90 percent of my destinations are reached on smaller highways or back roads with speed limits in the 55-75 mph range. This makes achieving ridiculous range quite routine for me, in the...
