And that's where this is the most frustrating. I rarely exceed the speed limit. I don't use anything except smooth. I think I've had it in Swift perhaps twice just to see what it does - Sprint once. I'm almost exclusively on cruise or HA. And - 3.0 lifetime.

I just read an article/review about a GT - they basically said - on 21" wheels they got 3.0 miles per kw. But that they had it in Sprint mode most of the time so they weren't expecting great range. If I did that - my MPKW would be something like 1.5.

A range loss of 10% is how Lucid handles the 21" wheels - that's baked into the cake. So - yes - having 21" wheels (according to Lucid) gives you roughly 40 miles less than the EPA rating of the car with 19" wheels. But - that's not the issue - it's the additional range hit of 25% that is the...

I think it's fantastic that you're able to obtain good or even great range considering the 80mph statement. But given a range of 520. Even better if you're on the performance variant - you're only losing perhaps 20% of your "advertised" range. I'm starting off with a "predicted" range decrease...

My difference comparison was from Tesla to Lucid - not Lucid to Lucid. So - 100kwh pack vs. 112kwh pack or even 118kwh pack I would certainly expect more range. All numbers being equal - I think the Tesla is essentially similar. My son has 2 M3P's - and while their packs are 10kw smaller than...

Well.. the Dream has about 12% more battery. And there's an Out of Spec range test on a GT with 19s and 21s where they do their 70 mph loop. The "since last charge" and Trip A were set to 0 at the start - the "since last charge" showed 3.2 mpkw while the Trip A showed 3.0 mpkw. Which means that...

21" - cold it's 42, warm they go up to 45 or so.

I'm jealous. 6.2 would be impossible for me! Half that is barely possible!

I drove the Grapevine many times - I can guarantee you - it's not 55. And good luck getting any range at all between Wheeler Ridge and Castaic. Coming down the other side is a different matter.

I completely agree - the charging network sucks (to be kind). EA is a disaster. It's sad that something as simple as electricity can't be as simple as gasoline. Home charging works 100% of the time - that's not the case on the road. That's one place that Tesla got it right. I've never had a...

You're absolutely correct. Now - find me 150 miles of continuous road at 55mph. It doesn't exist. Hence - "real world". It's easy to say "our car get 600 miles on a charge - but the small print reads (hyper milled at 20mph with tires overinflated with no HVAC on a flat road in the desert under...

I've done this trip several times. And again today with A/C off - 63 degrees outside. Freshly off the charger. 10 miles is definitely enough to know where you're at. Round trip 19.8 miles - 3.4 miles per kw - 55 the entire way - no aggressive acceleration to get up to speed. I would argue that I...

PSI is 44. Max regen. But there are only 2 stop signs and those are at the beginning of the trip. one at the end of my road, the other maybe 1200 feet later. Then it's maybe 9 miles at 55.

I just took my test trip to the grocery store - no A/C - 55 the whole way. 63 degrees. 3.4 miles per kw. Not stellar. Never went above 55 - 2 stop signs at the beginning of the ride, none at the end. The 3.4 is really "barely" 3.4 as it was fluttering between 3.3 and 3.4.

I'm sorry - I can't help but think you guys are trying to gaslight me. I live in North East Texas. We don't have 80mph roads. The fastest you can go legally is 75 on some stretches of I-30 and I-20. And those roads are 30 miles from here. Perhaps Lucids perform differently on the East and West...

Would you be willing to place a wager on that?

Sorry - I just don't see it. I can "guarantee" that I can't get anywhere near 3.4. I can pull out of my driveway - go 1/2 mile down the county road to the stop sign, take a left, drive 1200 feet to another stop sign and then 12 miles at 55 mph to the grocery store. There are no stops on that 12...

Like I said - advertised range is not realistic. Even with 19" wheels. In theory - I should be getting 425 minus whatever hit I take for having 21" wheels. But that's 100 to 0. I left this morning with 339 on the battery - arrived home with 49 miles. I drove 200 miles. That means I'm losing 30%...

The difference is definitely that much! I just drove to Dallas and back - almost 200 miles round trip. Either on cruise or highway assist the entire way. Only slightly over the posted speed limit on occasion. 3.0 for the trip. I think the 21" wheels drop about 20% off range (compared to the best...
