That’s amazing considering the actual EPA range for that is 425!This is my estimated range at 100% after 10 months 12k miles (Touring 19”)View attachment 17925

Yeah and for some reason Lucid is posting 411 miles (Touring with 19s) EPA range which is nowhere in the fueleconomy.gov websiteThat’s amazing considering the actual EPA range for that is 425!
Too bad that estimate doesn’t mean anythingThis is my estimated range at 100% after 10 months 12k miles (Touring 19”)View attachment 17925
I haven’t charged to 100% - like ever - but after ten months and low mileage, I’m still at a calculated 435 miles, give or take. Never understood how that was possible either, but at least I’ve had no apparent degradation either. My 2016 Model X lost 5% in its first year, by comparison.That’s amazing considering the actual EPA range for that is 425!
Yeah mine started at 435 miles and I’m assuming the new estimate was adjusted to my driving and average efficiency but could be degradation.I haven’t charged to 100% - like ever - but after ten months and low mileage, I’m still at a calculated 435 miles, give or take.

Lithium ion batteries are usually like that with the leveling off, this is expected behavior! For example, there was an article here some time ago reporting on the battery deg of some taxi model s’s, and they too leveled off!Very true. All our Teslas (two Xs and an S) degraded the most during our first year of ownership, about 4 to 5 percent. We are now down to one Tesla Model X100D. Five-and-a-half years in, battery degradation rate has remained “glacial”, staying at right around 10%. Brand new, our X100D was EPA rated at 295 miles at 100% charge. Today, at that same maximum charge level, we’re at 266 miles.
I still keep tabs on our previous Teslas, since we know the buyers/current owners. They’re reported that their cars too, are holding steady at 10% degradation, after six years.
You know things are desperate when you use the video game method of drafting a bus.. glad you made it! In winter, I’d always assume half the range just to be safe, as you said,.I had a bit of a wake up call today. We decided to drive the 86 miles to Hudson Ny. I had 322 miles range so figured had miles to spare. Weather was 37 degrees and rainy. Driving up I probably was doing 75 most of the time and found I used186 miles of range(!) so on the way back dialed back the heat, drafted behind a bus on the thruway running about 70 and still pulled into the EA kiosk at Newburgh with 28 miles of range. ( the trip from there home was still 18 miles with Stormking mountain in the middle, no way I would have made it. Winter really kills the range, figure you need double the range as a rule of thumb
