Real world range touring 19 inch wheels

Please share some data to support this. Otherwise you are correct, we will disagree.

Unfortunately i think it’s impossible to simulate the exact same city driving conditions, so I don’t have any data, but a model 3 will easily do 4+ miles/kwh around town, but at 70mph, that will drop to 3.5. Lucid will do the inverse.

But you specifically called out the model S as being more efficient in city driving than the Air. The model 3 is a much smaller car and that helps it in city driving. Either show us some model S data or quit saying it.

2023 AT/19" 25.2K miles with avg of 3.76 mi/kwh - 2/3 highway.
Now with 26 degree temp = 1.76 mi/kwh
Checked battery with annual service when mi/kwh dropped - AOK.
Engine with cold battery warning- will try preheating interior 20' before driving.

My car is outdoors 24/7, when temps are 25F and below I pre-condition the battery for 45-60 minutes in the morning before leaving to warm the battery, I pre-heat the interior about 10 minutes before walking out the door.

My lifetime average is 3.3 in a 2016 model S. My lifetime average in my much more modern and supposedly efficient 2023 Lucid is 3.1. I’ll take screenshots for you if you want…

But again, I’m agreeing that the Lucid is way more efficient above 55mph. Take the win man

I mean my habits aren’t any different between all the EVs I have driven and all driven the same roads, climate, and traffic yet the Lucid is the only one missing the EPA rating by ~25%. If I’m constantly getting 285 miles of range out of 405 I’m going to be pretty sad.

I was rally curious if anyone has brought this up to the service department and got any fixes.

What are your other EV’s?

yup, unfortunately that’s what you’re going to get. The Lucid is not efficient in daily city driving. Teslas…even the big boys Model S or even Model X is far more efficient just putting around town. (People will disagree with me, but it’s true lol). The Lucid motors are tuned for 65-70mph driving. If you take a long road trip and drive slow like that on cruise control you will see 4.0 miles/kw or better!

Not my experience at all. Thus far 700 miles into my ‘25 AGT and the relationship to EPA rating in winter is better than it was in my 2018 Tesla M3P (which was in 18” wheels rather than the OEM 20”’s).

I believe that some of the “issue” folks have with range in the Air has to do with the fact that the Air is soooo fun to push AND soooo smooth that folks drive them a lot harder than they realize.

As I have now said (and sound like a broken record), I am certain I will get EPA or better (4.34 mi/kWh) over the course of a full year. Stay tuned!

Lucid is more efficient in city driving and highway driving.
