I drove round-trip of about 290 miles between my home in central Illinois and Oak Park, a Chicago suburb, this past Sunday. The temperature was 75 degrees. Wind light. There is a 500 foot elevation difference between my home and Oak Park. I drove at 73 mph mostly on cruise control (the speedometer showed 75, but my Lucid is 2 mph optimistic). 99 percent was expressway/Interstate driving. We set the air conditioner for 72. Tires were inflated to the specified 49 psi.for 19-inch wheels. Two adults and a 37 pound dog. No cargo.
The Lucid Touring achieved 3.7 miles/kwh, which I consider respectable. There was one fly in the ointment, a massive wreck on I-57 stopped traffic for half an hour on the way home. We turned off the AC and lost 1 percent of charge while idle (it was dark and the lights were on).
As an aside, there was an Electrify America charging station half a block from the restaurant where we were dining. Of the eight terminals, four were inoperative. However, for the first time, we plugged in and EA recognized the Lucid and began charging at 110 kw/h (ultimately falling to 50 kw/h). I even received an email receipt from Lucid verifying the charging session. That's never happened before.
