Recent loss of range

[rao_94583]

We took our car on a ~1500 mile trip over the break to Southern California, and noticed on the way back that the car seemed to be getting substantially lower range. I haven't analyzed it, but I'm guessing something like a 25% drop.

One of the tires had been losing air for a couple of weeks, and when we took it to America's Tire, they did in fact discover a huge nail in the tire. I was certain that was the culprit, but the range loss continues. My wife has to charge the car every day now (for her daily 50 mile commute).

I'll put in a service request, but in the meantime, I wonder if anyone has had a similar experience.

Unsure of where you were driving back to, but cold temps really destroy our batteries quick, almost quicker than any other factor. In the Illinois winters here I go from getting ~350 real world miles of range on my AT to ~200 when its single digits outside.

Everyday for 50 milee? That's crazy and not normal at all

Energy consumption (thus range) depends on many factors: temperature, traffic, speed, lead foot...

It would be helpful if you can clarify about your experience such as your car battery gauge on the dashboard says 300 miles at the start and after traveling 50 miles, it used to say 200 but today it only says 150 (it used to take 50 miles extra battery miles for the trip but today it takes an extra 100 battery miles for the same 50 mile trip...)

I am confused. You don’t have enough range to do a 50 mile trip (100 miles round trip) at least 2-3 times without charging?

Are you experiencing really cold temperatures?

That’s in 14 months .so avg 110 everyday

He has Lucid's new stripped-down "economy" class vehicle: they call it "The Lunar Rover". ~ 4 degrees Kelvin

Remote delivery available.

proves that when it gets REALLY cold, EVs are the go-to vehicle.

(there is a bank of EA 350 chargers on the moon, but they are all currently out-of-service)

You need to call Lucid Service.

Thanks for the responses -- I have a call into Lucid Service.

To clarify: we're in the SF Bay Area, and the trip was to the LA area. Not really that cold at all. We took our e-tron GT on that same trip, and it behaved pretty much as usual. By the time we got back, I'm pretty sure the Audi had better range (rated at 238). Yesterday, my wife tells me that she drove 72 miles, but the displayed range dropped by ~130 miles.

There's no way to display instantaneous or average efficiency on these cars, is there?
