Range Questions after first trip

[rmi521]

I’m loving my brand new Lucid Air Pure (4 days so far). Took a long road trip into the NorCal foothills yesterday and was disappointed in how much charge I used on the way (mostly uphill). I drove more conscientiously (avoiding rapid acceleration, high speed) on the way home and used literally half of that. Very happy with my first charging experience (EA) - no wait this morning at 9.

I've done some testing on this. My local driving yields 3.9 miles /kwh. My highway driving... well it's closer to 3m/kwh. Testing over a 2 month period that's pretty much the numbers I would always see. I grew up in NYC and I drive like it which is why my highway range is atrocious. But the big revelation is when I get on the highway and turn on cruise control then it's consistently 4.1-4.5/kwh. But I like driving so my range is going to be crappy. If I charge at home I really wouldn't care tbh.

My sister on the other hand drives like a nun. She gets close to the stated range.

Curious what speed you set cruise to. Given your self-description, I’m guessing it’s not 65, or even 70….

So your 3mi/kWh is mostly ramping up and down speed as you have your highway fun? Or is it just that CC keeps you from “accidentally” cruising at 85?

Yesterday I averaged 4.88 mi/kWh over 94 miles of which roughly 75% was highway at 65-70 mph. The rest was around suburban streets and secondary roads. Temps were mid-50’s with no need for climate control. ‘25 AGT with 19’s. This further supports my thesis that I will easily be able to achieve EPA range over the course of a full year given that I took delivery 12/15/24 and we had a VERY cold Winter. Lifetime average on the car is now up to 3.92…

Just curious what drive mode and regen settings you use on highway?

Smooth and high regen
