I'm just over 50k on my '23 Touring. I share your view of the teething pains in the early months, but love driving the car now. A quick question - what sort of tires are you using & how many sets have you run thru? What are yiour favorite tires? Thanks.

I’m getting up to 460 miles (4.1 m/kw) @ 100% on 19” wheels on my 2023 AGT. Obviously range will vary based on a number of factors with weather, speed, and elevation being the biggest. On that basis I average closer to 3.5 m/kw but it still puts me close to 400 miles in real world miles.

Rated mileage is not accurate, you will probably get more like 330. So on 19’s I’d think you’d get more like 350 with caps.

When you say, "426 mile Range @ 100% SoC", was that what YOU experienced, or is it the so called "Rated mileage"? When you say "Range", is that at highway speed (70-75mph), or are you just driving around town at 40mph or less?

...426 miles @ 100%. Would anyone happen to know how many more miles I'd get if I went with 19" wheels @ 100%? I know there's some battery degradation because it's 2023, but I'm curious if it's just better to stick with 20" vs 19" value wise if I'm not gaining much more miles. The plan would...

How did you arrive at your 493 number? Was that the miles displayed when you charge to 100% My Air GT has 75,000 miles on it, its EPA rated range (on thr display) now sits at 508 miles. But I haven’t checked in several weeks. I guess I don’t want to look.

This is fantastic! Thank you for sharing!

Awesome!

Wasn't sure where to post this, but hit 100k on my '22 GT today! Love the car- went through SO many teething issues 3 years ago - but must say the car drives like new and is super dependable. Battery life now says 493 on full charge, so not too much degradation from original 516. . I don't get...

Nice to see such low degradation even with heavy fast charging, that’s reassuring long term.

TLDR Summary For frequent readers of the forum, I am part of the group that has had very few issues with my 2023 AT. The main things it needed after the original due bill were seat rehoming, replace front door sealing, and replace frunk sealing. That said, the car has been reliable and an...

This is not the correct measurement of degradation. For example, if your battery is unbalanced at all, letting it sit untouched for 72 hours at 100% SOC would potentially increase your “range.” The API has a battery health metric, though we don’t know how it’s calculated either.

...300 mile figure via 69 kWh. Also, it was not revealed if this new efficiency that the Cosmos will provide also improves upon battery degradation over time. My leased 2024 Lucid Air Pure over 20 months has experienced 18 mile loss at 100% charge, i.e. 408 miles new to 390 miles now. Also, no...

But seriously, you have noticed an estimate of one mile lower for a 2023 car? I'd be pretty happy with that degree of battery degradation, assuming it is real. If you have ever used any rechargeable devices or batteries, I'm sure you know they don't hold the same capacity forever.

I said "concerns about battery life," not that they actually had significant degradation. Reuters or someone just reported that used EV sales are starting to ramp up with the Iran war and the price of gasoline increasing dramatically.

But batteries don’t degrade much…..and even cars under warranty gave depreciated, maybe a combination if these things. The manufacturer incentives don’t help either.

EVs depreciate not because of software, which for many marques are applied to older vehices as well, but because of drivetrain improvements and concerns about battery life. New batteries better than old batteries, both in terms of original capacity as well as degradation.

Having used hi-speed charging almost exclusively in my first 28 months and 21k miles, I have discovered one very reliable data point. Assuming a reasonable outside temperate and no station-driven power limitations... whatever my initial SOC may be, it will take my Air just under 35 minutes to...

That's typically recommended for all EVs with the Lithium NMC battery packs (like Lucid Air). Some long-term battery degradation is inevitable, but some things will make it worse. One of these is letting it set for a period of time with the battery near 100& or 0% state of charge. Being...

Stick to 80%. See my post above. Frequently draining below 20% or charging above 80% leads to faster battery degradation. If you are using 30% battery for the 150 miles, you can probably get away with charging to 70% if you want to optimize, keeping the charge between 40% - 70%.
