THANK YOU SO MUCH for listening to the forum! It seems that now each trim is just a powertrain option with interior options available, enabling things like a Grand Touring with a metal roof! This lets so much choice happen and is GREAT!
The EPA test was altered slightly to be a bit less generous. Peter mentions this in a recent video interview someone posted here on the site.
So does that mean our 19” wheel, 2023 Touring max range is also 411 miles instead of 425 ? I never pushed the range limits of my car yet, i am just trying to understand where my old model stands
I am going to bet yes that is the case. My guess is that Lucid was packaging 2023 Touring and 2023 Pure AWD with the same motors and battery specs. The motor output is software limited in 2023 Pure AWD to differentiate from Touring. When Touring range was initially assessed EPA testing was more lenient. The 2023 Pure AWD range is 410. This is all speculative and I have no proof to these claims.So does that mean our 19” wheel, 2023 Touring max range is also 411 miles instead of 425 ?

Exactly. Your car didn't change. The test did. If you have an older Touring (like I do) that car would probably get the same reduced number if you ran the new EPA test.I am going to bet yes that is the case.

Personally I don't pay too much attention to the range number. For me the more impactful metric is how many miles can I drive between 20%-80% SOC and require a charge.
Rogue, how is your insurance and replacement experience going?
It's going. Specialty car classification sounds cool until it needs to be appraised to be clearly totalled. I'll write a thread on the experience with USAA when it's done.
Definitely looking forward to more specifics that we will soon find out(24 models are already available). Especially for the GT changes.. I wonder what they mean by more spirited driving when hp is the same? Suspension tweaks perhaps?
Another consequence for Arizona folks like myself is since the msrp will now never change on the GT-P. If you import a GT-P into AZ(even 10 years from now) you will pay registration based off that msrp. Recently ran into this with the Dream edition performance. Since the latest msrp was 170k, I have to pay registration based off that for the rest of the cars life. Corner case I know but crazy how that works.
There was a previous change in the website where the GT-P vanished and then it came back.
Sapphires are made to order. So when are you going to order one?
I thought they were sold out
