How Much Range Are You Actually Getting?

[rbbarry]

I am hearing from a lot of owners that they are getting no where near the estimated range published on the Lucid Motors site. I know this is not uncommon of any EV, including Tesla. But I am curious what range you are actually getting with your "normal" driving - however you normally drive.

Can we edit to put the Mi/kwh in parenthesis?

I don’t use the range… I switched the dashboard to %SOC.

roadtrip - so >75 I was getting 3.1m/kWh
around town little bit of freeway - I have been getting 3.7-3.8m/kWh … not sure what the “% range” that is

Sure, send me them and I can add them?

It varies by wheel size too..

So for the DEP on 21"

100% - 3.82 mi/kwh
90 - 3.4
80 - 3.06
70 - 2.68

So percentages make more sense then?

Well, it's your poll! Just gave numbers in case you wanted to do something with it

Maybe have the Goal numbers in the first post in a table? (My point is more that most folks won't know what the goal numbers should be)

Percentage	DE-P 19	DE-R 21	DE-P 21	DE-R 19	GT 19	GT 21
100	471	481	451	520	516	469
90	424	433	406	468	464	422
80	377	385	361	416	413	375
70	330	337	316	364	361	328
60	283	289	271	312	310	281
50	236	241	226	260	258	235
40	188	192	180	208	206	188
30	141	144	135	156	155	141

DE-R 19 and DE-R 21 need to be swapped in the chart

oops...

oops...

Do we need a IR and WI, for the 21" at least? haha - Inserts Removed and With Inserts?

bite me.

 

[borski]

bite me.

🤣

but, real question: do we actually know what the inserts do in terms of range? I'm curious but haven't seen any details anywhere

No, it is actually a valid question. I don’t think we have a large enough sample base or the correct conditions to properly determine, however.

Not enough to risk them flying off at 150 mph

Haha because I regularly drive at top speed, duh.

(But I agree, I haven't put them on since the first day just because I like the look that much more)

Do you have 19" or 21" rims?

Yesterday I went from Lake Havasu AZ to LA
I charged in Needles CA to 80% or 372 Miles of range and drove with the cruise set at 70 for 150 Miles....
To my surprise I was down to 120 Miles of range loosing an additional 100 Miles.
I did have a strong head wind........ I hope this is not the real world Usage.

Well...considering you drove in the real world, I would say it was! Also a strong headwind will mess with your range by a lot.

Also, given where you are driving, I think AC use makes a big difference too. At least that's what I saw when driving I-10 from phx to LA last weekend.
