It’s not tire size or wheel size that matters. It’s the type of tire. “Stickiness” and rolling resistance of summer tires is greater than all season.I been driving GT with 21s and still getting same range which makes me think it’s more speed and driving style that’s affecting range which isn’t really changeable

Consider using the seat heaters more than the vehicle heater. Also, you might want to switch the range indicator to percentage instead of miles remaining, and do your own calculation. Much info about this can be found at www.lucidupdates.com.I have a different take based on my experience of what impacts range. I live in New England and this is my first winter with my Lucid Air Touring. Since winter has arrived, I'm getting about HALF the specified range in my typical short distance driving when I have the HEAT on including heated seats and steering wheel. Yesterday, I got in the car and realized I had only 88 miles of range left for my 46 mile round trip to work. I used the heat only to take the extreme chill off on my commute to work when it was about 28 degrees outside and used 30 miles of range to go the 23 miles. On the way home in the afternoon when it was about 40 degrees outside, I didn't use the heat at all and I used 24 miles of range to get home. The Lucid has a relatively small battery for it's specified range due to the car's efficiency - I THINK that the Lucid probably uses the same amount of energy to heat the car as any other EV and thus it's range is more adversely impacted by using the heater and other accessories.
Bobby can I understand why does the system subtract that Initial range like on these 21s with 80% charge it only says 365 milesIt’s not tire size or wheel size that matters. It’s the type of tire. “Stickiness” and rolling resistance of summer tires is greater than all season.
The system assumes OEM tires which are summer for the 21"and 20" wheels, they are all season for the 19" wheels. It then takes the EPA range for those wheels/tires.Bobby can I understand why does the system subtract that Initial range like on these 21s with 80% charge it only says 365 miles
On my Main car with 20s it wil say 400+ miles at 80%
Any ideas ?
I bet you the system still thinks I have 19 inch wheels. I saw latest update supports tires swap so does it say what current tires you have now ?The system assumes OEM tires which are summer for the 21"and 20" wheels, they are all season for the 19" wheels.

Yes, it shows what TPMS has been loaded in the car.I bet you the system still thinks I have 19 inch wheels. I saw latest update supports tires swap so does it say what current tires you have now ?
That’s funny my 20s I transferred the TPS sensors from my 19sYes, it shows what TPMS has been loaded in the car.
All the TPMS sensors are the same, the only change is what pressure sets off a low pressure warning.That’s funny my 20s I transferred the TPS sensors from my 19s

Because the current tires is what is set on the car. I had the option to choose my 21s, so it must be what is stored in the car as a set of tpms.A friend shared these screenshots for how tires can be swapped.
How does it know the current tires tho ??

In CA, there are plenty of EA charge stations. The issue I experienced is not so much finding an EA charge station (along I10 and I5) but there is a high number of EA chargers that are not functional or heavily throttled. These compromised functionality results in slow access to charging and slow charging.Thanks for the video and I found it informative.
The drive video is also nice - I want to take my Air on a trip now LOL.
The EA infrastructure feedback is fair and objective. As more stations are added and are fully operational the adoption will certainly increase.
I really don’t understand how you all could drive 60 mph. In AZ we drive minimum 80 and that hurts the range of the car … 60 you might get pulled over for being too slowI channeled my inner Bobby and set my cruise to 60. Screw EPA, I can beat it.View attachment 18142
