Poor Range Test Results

[Redstuff]

I'm surprised there hasn't been more discussion regarding the two 70 mph range tests that dropped on Youtube over the weekend on the Gravity. The first was from State of Charge, Tom Moloughney and the other was from Notch EV. Both tests were 100% SOC to 0% SOC. Both tests that were independently done, came up with the same result 345 miles or 105 mile short of the 450 EPA stated range which is a pretty significant difference. Tom reached out to Lucid who indicated that there was an issue with the Rear Drive Unit but didn't elaborate. Also the battery was at zero after using 115 kw, which means there is a big buffer. My car just went into production but I'm very concerned with all the quality issues. I'm wonder if anyone who has been driving the Gravity for awhile is getting close to 3.6 miles / kw of range. I live in the mountains of Colorado where it is cold and hilly. I wanted a EV with a lot of range but if the real range is more like 350 I'm not so sure. I'm also 6 hours from a service center and don't have the time to keep going to the service shop.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

This video details a 70 mph highway range test of the 2026 Lucid Gravity Grand Touring (0:37-0:40). The test was conducted in cool weather (around 50-59°F) with a 10 mph wind (1:55-2:07), which the presenter notes might penalize the range by about 30 miles (8:27-8:42). The vehicle was driven in its most efficient "Smooth" mode with the suspension set to low for better aerodynamics (12:28-13:08).

Here's a breakdown of the results:

The 5 seater version with 20/21 tires got 358 miles 100 to 0% battery in 55 degree weather @ 70mph. That seems far lower than the EPA estimate of 450 range. Unless there's significant efficiency loss going from 65 to 70, this seems disappointing overall and within the pack of other car manufacturers' 325-375 miles of range cars.

However, it is only one data point. Let's see what Kyle gets on his tests.
