Yes - I heard that. I thought I read range was going up for the GT in 2024 though?

Synthetic does not always mean cheap.
Who do you mean when you state support since sales, customer support, and service don't seem to ever know the changes made in the new model year? It's like a big secret.

Yep I’m in agreement. But it’s Porsche theory. Charge more for less lol

True, on the 6 percent chance they work, it’s better to ask!

30% more range in the cold would be a game changer!

Instead of cows, they have to harvest and tan baby Cantara hides, which are much more rare.... ;-)

Totally agree, but I thought Lucid was improving the range over 2023’s. Who knows, they release such few details on changes.

I heard that Alcantaras are farmed in rural Wyoming.. they come in multiple colors!

Does 2023 also charge to 200 miles in 12 mins on Grand Tourings? Never noticed they got more miles per minute on an optimal fast charger compared to other vehicles.

As far as I know, the charging performance is the same for 2022, 2023 and 2024 GTs.

yes no change there. Touring was always 15 minutes and GT was 12 minutes.
It's also 200 EPA RATED miles. Since Lucid overstates their range more optimistically that most car manufacturers, it's really not as impressive as it sounds. It's probably closer to like ~150 miles of actual range

Yeah totally understand on that with EPA. But compared to other vehicles even including Taycan/e-tron GT/Hyundai/Kia/Genesis E-GMP vehicles, it is still impressive and overperforms their numbers so thats good.
What’s “Extended Leather”?

Theres literally no extended leather to our knowledge, the difference is that you get alcantara on the dash/doors while the touring gets a non-nappa leather on those same areas.
Okay. So pretty much what we were getting before, pre-2024. I did see the Touring’s interior, at a Lucid Christmas event a few years ago. I noted the areas not covered in alcantara. Then as now, I don’t think Touring buyers are going to feel deprived.

Still impressive, but i think taycan is faster
Numbers i've found based on EPA. If you add 25% to Taycan and subtract 25% from the Air, Taycan would be the fastest. But top 3 is still great! Lucid is quite a bit cheaper and larger than the Taycan too. Says a lot about it's utility
- Lucid Air — 20 miles per minute
- Hyundai Ioniq 6 -- 16.1 miles per minute
- Porsche Taycan— 15.5 miles per minute
- Tesla Model 3 — 15 miles per minute
