Noticed something similar. The thing that I felt the most was a cool air hitting my hand son the steering wheel and face. My suspicion (and I checked last night), is that the windshield is very cold and the warm air that hits it from the front cools by the time it arrives on me. I checked and...

...and longevity above everything else. Trying to keep the battery temp at the ideal level. Where other manufactures might not. Hopefully this means lower battery degradation over time. I believe Lucid has the best BMS out there but it might translate negatively to driver/passengers comfort levels.

range do evaporate when you accelerate quickly and also at higher speeds 55mph+. i usually drive in the 75-80mph range and i do a 30% math to get a more accurate estimate. 370 * 0.7 = 259 miles which is 6miles higher than what you had left in the battery pack. maybe people living in harsh winter...

Short answer is Yes to all questions and all normal behavior what I experienced. Couple of things to mention if you want to get around advertised range: 1. Keep your speed down you should not really go above 70mph especially during cold weather. Anything above 70mpg changes the efficiency...

Short answer. EA may have 2 connectors but only 1 at a time. Your real range with AC or Heat is what you see in miles per kwh since last charge and the size of your battery. Speed and acceleration affect range as in the Tesla or any EV in addition to the ambient temperature. As @Bobby said, see...

Not too hard: my battery is 112kW so I use 100kW to allow for a buffer/degradation. So, multiply efficiency times 100 and that's miles remaining. Example: 3.4m/kWh x 100 = 340 miles.

...whether to complain about it or not. I plan to hold on to the car for a while, so I should be happy with any efforts to minimize battery degradation. But if it's possible to maintain a higher rate of charge for longer, this would take 5-10 minutes off every stop at EA. Improving the charge...

...trip wasn't funny at the time but I gotta tell you it had me chuckling listening to the team discussing the events during that time. If you guys do this again and are looking to get a used AGT with some battery degradation, I might be interested if the timing is right and if I still own the car.

I think ev’s are the better long term ownership solution, there is now enough information and history of long term reliability of ev battery packs going further and or at least equal to equivalent ice engines minus the extra maintenance. Yes ev’s still require brakes , bushings, suspension up...

I think that depends on how you react to newer technology. I've had my Model X for over 7 years and I still love it. It's had about 9% degradation, but I still drive it on long trips without any noticeable "road trip quality of life" loss and that's with a car that had a lot less total range at...

...has cash runway through 2026, Gravity sales will help them last at least through 2027, so they'll be alive for 3 years. If you plan to keep a car for over 3 years, EV is not the best choice imho (battery degradation, swift changes in technology and competition and corresponding depreciation).

And what is the 10 year degradation for Lucid Air battery on its charging curve? The answer is: we don't know either, they haven't existed that long. Everyone does estimations based on various intensive stress-tests. And not only car manufacturers: battery manufacturers do this as well or even...

...high temperature storage/exposure is undesirable due to thermodynamics. > dendrite growth and plating, which causes long-term battery degradation, are mostly "defect" accelerated. Sharp geometries in the electrodes (e.g., imperfects, nicks, etc.) create high electric fields hence...

Interesting that on the EPA web site, ALL of the information on these two 2023 trim levels is exactly the same except for the total range figure. Maybe a slight battery degradation difference between the two tested models accounts for the 3.5% range difference.

I watched the video. I don't disagree with the contents. The author looked at extreme ranges of temperature and charging rates in order to elucidate/exaggerate the degradation mechanisms. This is helpful in understanding the mechanisms. That said, it is not just about temperature. There is...

I don't think anyone is advocating charging or fast charging beyond a certain SoC. Typically, this "threshold" is around 80% for Li batteries. I am no expert on the subject but there is plenty of literature and research on this issue. It is a well-known electrochemistry phenomenon. Broadly...

It is actually well known that higher rate of charge at higher SoC reduces battery longevity, it isn't an unknown. The question is just exactly how much the result is over time. See video I linked above, he explains it well and provides references. I think it's also well known for Teslas that...

Exactly, it's not "I hope they can figure it out". They can set it to anything they want - they could tell it to just rip 300kW all the way to 100%. It'll just rapidly degrade the battery. Given Lucid's general approach to "make the car generally a better thing for people", including...

This doesn't sound right. Recently did a trip between Chicago and St. Louis, which is ~350 miles each way. 2.6m/kWh is very optimistic for an R1S - are you sure this is true? I was still seeing ~160kW at 75% in the Lucid. I think it did drop to ~120kW around 80%. I just checked my app, it...

The other thing that eludes me is: > Lucid's 900V charging architecture should substantially reduce the charge current hence, the thermal heating (I**2R) (for the same kWh delivered). If so, why wouldn't Lucid be able to sustain a flatter (longer) charging curve compared to competitors charging...
