Range is what turned me off to the Audi E-Tron GT; a 93kWh battery with a 250 mile range is like-wise abysmal.

3.0 seems to be the average of what has been posted, far from 4.6. I drive pretty sedately, and hypermile all the time; my current Kia K5 is averaging 36mpg (combined driving over 5k miles calculated at the pump). I hope that translates to an electric, although there are two settings for...

I suppose teething problems are to be expected. The proof is in how Lucid is addressing these issues. It seems a bit hit or miss from what I have been reading. I am thinking on getting a Pure (I had entertained getting a Touring, but the dual motor option for the Pure cured me of that) next...

What mileage per kWh are people seeing? One person posted a picture with 4.6, which is what Lucid had touted as a potential figure for efficiency to yield the 516 miles for the 112kWh battery and, by extrapolation, 406 miles for the 88kWh one; how common is that seeing as very conservative...

Sorry, math. 7% efficiency increase to 405 should yield around 433 miles of range. Weight of the GT is closer to 5202 lbs ("unladen" according to the article). https://ev-database.org/car/1316/Lucid-Air-Grand-Touring https://ev-database.org/car/1318/Lucid-Air-Pure

Well, I can always get all season replacements when I have to change the tires; Michelin and others offer these. Articles with links below suggest a range increase of 14% with a weight reduction of 20%, or that a 10% reduction in weight can yield a 6 to 8% efficiency improvement. 4630 lbs. for...

It's possible they split the difference? "Detune" the rear motor and get 550hp?

406 is the estimated range. What is the useable kWh, 88 as listed, but I have seen 84. How much loss using 20" wheels? Weight, I've seen 4630lbs, I am assuming for the single motor (+168 for a 2nd motor unit, + a few for wiring/mounts). Will real world efficiency be better than 4.6 miles...

4.6 miles per kWh, nice. What size wheels? 21"? Any major changes of elevation?

Could you install a Nema 10-30 and limit the amps to 24?

I was looking at the Audi E-tron GT, non R/S, but the limited range was a definite problem as I have only one car (my wife has her minivan), and it has to be able to manage a long trip, so I set my range requirement at 385 miles. I have a Panamera now with two child seats, so a four door is a...

Hello all, glad to be part of the discussion.

Living in Florida, this is a real concern for me. I love look of full glass obviously, but late and early day driving may be problematic, as well as the heat. I talked with a sales person who currently owns a Model Y with a glass roof and he had his tinted because of the greater sun exposure...

What is the reliability of air suspension; these cars aren't light, so there has to be a point where the system has to be serviced, the compressor seals, the lines and their seals, etc? I actually prefer a coil spring set up with adaptive shocks. That said, ride height adjustment for driveway...
