Max range indictor is low - AIR GT

[itsalqarni]

Hey folks,

I bought an Air GT 3 months ago and its a fantastic ride. I do have a question for fellow GT owners; what's the max range indicator on a 100% charge?
I couldn't help but notice mine is maxed on 406 miles where its supposed to be 469 miles

Note: I have a 21' wheels
Note: I understand actual achievable range is 15%-20% less than the EPA estimates but I am specifically asking about the max range indicator on a 100% charge

Thanks!

Something is odd here. It should be showing 469 at 100% charge for a GT with 21" wheels. It seems to be showing the max range for a Touring or Pure rather than GT. I always display battery charge in %SOC so I do not really look at this. I would email customer care and ask about it.

Hey Adnillien,

Thanks for your reply. I have emailed them actually and they seem to be confident of no issues. Check their reply here (sorry for the KM instead of miles)
The question is: is the range indicator now shows the achievable range? Because I just saw a video of Bobby from 3 weeks ago complaining about the range indicator that its an EPA range not the actual achievable range.

I see that you are in Riyadh. The US cars show the EPA range for for battery SOC. It sounds like Lucid is using something different for your location. I am not sure what is should show for you. I have no reason not to trust the response from customer care.

Awesome! yeah I am in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and I was happy to hear it reflects actual achievable range but Bobby's video raised this concern again. Anyho I am happy to have found this forum.

This is what we actually want in the US. Let's hope they make that change here then instead =)

Honestly thats very strange; why would this change occur first in Saudi Arabia and not the US? Is it regulation or something else...

I don't think this is correct.

I believe all geographies use the same algorithm.

That would be more plausible, I will go to the service center and check other GTs on a full charge and see whats up

Well, shit.

https://testmycode.cc/ will show you your usable battery capacity in kWh. I'd be interested to compare that with other GTs:

I may be wrong. Please contact lucid

the algorithm actually is different in Saudi Arabia, but the number should not be that low. I would contact service.

Realized after I posted this that it didn't support non-US regions. Oops. Fixed.
