2.0 mi/kWh - Max AC in 110 heat

[xponents]

That explains it! But its fun to drive like Max. So the heck with range. Here in Scottsdale eventually the temperature will drop and our range will improve (although I will still keep my AC on and attempt to drive like Max) as we move from six months of hell to six months of heaven.

The driver as good as max, and the lucid air as dominant as the RB19..

I live in Phoenix and have been getting 2.0 mi/kWh since buying my Air a week ago. 2022 Air GT with 12k miles, 21” wheels.

It’s been 110 outside and I am running my a/c at max.

Is this normal given these conditions?

I live in Scottsdale and get 2.5 - 2.7 same settings. I hardly ever drive the freeway so all local driving.

Wow! I'm in Tucson and it's not that much cooler here. Max A/C most of the time.

after 4000 mile, in all wheel drive lucid air pure, driving in hot houston summer (temp: 93-103) a/c set at 73, gentle accelerator, mix local and interstate driving, i got 4.3 miles per kwh.

3.1-3.4 for me in Phoenix, intermittent max AC

I plan to buy the heat shield/roof liner for this exact reason. I'm confident the car will keep me cool, but I'm thinking a little help in July and August wouldn't hurt.

The Lucid sun shades for the glass canopy are great. They really do help out when it is 118 out.

It’s on my list. They are going to love me. I have 5 items they need to address.

Not sure if you got this sorted out, but you should not use "Since Last Charge" to measure your car's efficiency. That measure is confusing (please see my thread here explaining why https://lucidowners.com/threads/since-last-charge-is-confusing-and-pointless.5954/). Instead view Trip A or Trip B only to measure your car's efficiency.

Those are very efficient numbers in hot summer locations.
