Miles vs. Percentage in Front (dashboard) screen

[thyname]

This is my third EV (2025 Air Touring, delivered four days ago). So I am familiar with the EVs, but not familiar with Lucid. I am a "percentages" type of guy (as opposed to "miles"), so immediately switched to "percentages" in the Pilot screen settings, under Units. The problem is, in the front / middle dashboard display (left third) where it shows Destination info at arrival, it still shows range at arrival in miles. I could not figure out to switch that display to percentages.

I understand that range at arrival / destination in percentages is shown at the end of navigation / route in the Pilot screen. But it would be nice to see it in big letters upfront (permanent). By the way, the latter estimate in navigation I noticed is completely inaccurate. And... it never changes while you drive and progress to destination. Odd

I don't think there's a way to have battery % on arrival show on the cockpit display, only the pilot panel like you said. Regarding the inaccuracy of the remaining miles, that calculation appears to still use EPA range estimates for the remaining battery and not the vehicle's recent mi/kWh usage which would be much more useful information.

The miles or percentage in the center cockpit screen is based on EPA. The remaining range at destination of the LEFT screen IS updated based on driving conditions, driving history, route chosen, etc.

I came from a different EV (polestar) and found the treatment of range in the lucid odd, honestly. and I feel it's due to their marketing about range and being the leader that way. What I'd really like is range but dynamic range estimates, not a proportion of EPA based on battery %. Fortunately they have remaining battery at destination at the end of the directions list as you mention. They recently added remaining battery for the round trip which is really helpful (and I assume would include scheduled charges but I don't know). It's a little odd in that calc seems overly conservative (so round trip range seems to be more than 2x one-way .. just not sure why). The thing I find very odd is the total range available and the range at destination + trip distance don't reconcile in any way. It's just odd as you continually have to do the math mentally to figure out where you are. My car is only 8 weeks old but I have reverted to just using battery % on my display and SOC at destination in the map (and haven't used it that much). I wish the marketers would allow the engineers to display all of this correctly as best is known. Yes the range is less than EPA however Lucid is still class leading. This topic is one where I feel the marketers are winning out at the expense of those of us who have already purchased. Yes I get that sales is their key need but still.

There is no option to display that in percentages here, just miles. That was my OP question, and it sounds like the answer is a "no".

Very conservative to say the least. For me it is insane. In my regular commute today (for example): Left at 77%. It said I would arrive at 61%, which I know it is impossibly low. I arrived at 69% (actual). This does not make any sense. By the way, it was 26 degrees F at departure

To be clear: the center of the driver cockpit panel can be set to either EPA range or percentage.

The left third of the driver cockpit panel will show range on arrival, if using nav, and is not based on the EPA range, but is very accurate. This cannot be set to percentage. The gravity, from when I drove it, has an even neater UX for this, showing you where you are on a curve. I imagine they’ll eventually bring that to Air too.
