I've gotten well over 360 with my Touring. And I took the Aero inserts out of my wheels.
Are you waking up the car to check on it using the app? If so, don’t do that anymore. Are you going in your garage and is the car waking up because you are close to it? Do you have Wi-Fi turned on in the car? If so, try turning it off.
I think one thing to realize about the EPA testing is that there are two different allowable EPA tests - 2 cycle and 5 cycle. Lucid and Tesla are the only 2 using the 5 cycle, I believe, and it artificially increases the range (I don't know the specifics of why), so Tesla and Lucid often fall short of the EPA ratings. The other brands are artificially decreased by the 2 cycle test and subsequently typically beat their EPA estimates. The way to fix this? Write to your congressman to make a standard range test so all cars are tested equally.
I want to share that recently my wife bought a Tesla model 3. Rated for 274 miles. The odometer now reads 450 miles and I’ve had to charge it to 100% FOUR TIMES.
I and most others that have reported here lose about 0.25% or 1 mile per day when the car is not checked on with the app or unlocked by a mobile key or key fob nearby. Keeping the fob within 15 feet of the car is probably too close. If you are losing 3 miles per day, then there is something wrong like you are waking the car with the app or your key fob.
Your beef should be with the EPA, not Lucid. They played by the rules. The testing system is faulty and produces artificially high numbers. Tesla advertises them, and, to compete, Lucid does as well.
That’s from last year which is pre 2.0 software, which used to display mi/kWh on the cockpit for Trip A, B or last charge, your choice. 2.0 software took that away, not sure why, but presumably with the intent to give us more display flexibility in the future, which has yet to be implemented. Believe me, myself, @Bobby and many others have mentioned this as a big place for improvement, as the cockpit in its current state is very underutilized. Lucid are no dummies, they’re on top of this. If you’ll notice in promo videos of the air before release, the cockpit had all sorts of user configured info where the “air” logo is, so I’m sure it’s coming. If you had gotten the car pre 2.0 software I suspect you would have sold it. They’ve come a long way in only a year. As for phantom drain, one thing I learned is if you park the car shortly after DCFC, it will drain like that as the BMS has to get the battery back to optimal temps. Also if sometimes the car is downloading updated maps, sometimes data in preparation for a big software update (which should be coming soon), diagnostics if you chose to share that data with Lucid, etc. These all consume power. This vehicle is very cloud connected. I doubt anything is mechanically wrong with your vehicle, aside from possibly not going to sleep as much as it should?
I drive 85 mph on the interstate and get around 3.1 to 3.4. If I drive on the highway at 63 - 65mph I get around 4.0 - 4.2 so for me speed is the biggest factor for range. I have the 20 inch wheels. If you want to maximize range you would need 19 inch wheels and slower driving. After that it's things like how many people in the car, how much luggage, HVAC settings etc that impact range but people here have reported that the difference is minimal. Highway Assist is also said to improve range based on forum experience. I generally use highway assist when available on road trips with for me is almost 100% of the time in my area of the country.
It's the other way around, Lucid and Tesla do the 5 cycle. I'm not sure if they are the only ones using 5 cycle but as you say, many do not.
I posted this in another thread a week or so ago but here it is again. Attached is my commute, I charge 1x/week and my SoC varies. I reset the Trip counter during my DCFC session so it would match with the since last charge numbers. My driving, is damn near EPA without even trying. You’ll notice that since last charge shows 4.1 as opposed to my 4.5 driving. That’s due to the BMS. As @Bunnylebowski said, I charged to my usual 90% and drove 15 miles to my office. It was about 50 outside when I charged, but even my 15 mile drive wasn’t enough to get the batteries down to optimum temp, so the BMS took over and my overall efficiency dropped. I’ve had my car since May of ‘22, and I’ve made my gripes known with their BMS system, but they are smarter than me and I’d also rather them error on the side of caution to prolong battery life. With that said, if I DCFC and actually road trip, the trip numbers and since last charge numbers will be identical. Right now, I’m leaning towards your FOB/mobile key being the issue. My FOBs are stored in a faraday box and I don’t use mobile key. With the upcoming update, you’ll be able to turn off the passive unlock setting. I do not know if that will stop the car from hunting for a signal, but it will stop it from opening and closing the handles all the time when nearby. As far as driving goes, smooth mode only with high regen. It’s tough, but don’t rocket off the line as the car is heavy and requires most of its power consumption to get it rolling. Highway speeds are best kept at 75 or below to maximize range, and if you haven’t passed the ~2500 mile break in of the motors that will also yield some small efficiency gains. After that, you’re at the mercy of your local climate and terrain. I’ve done numerous long trips and can easily get 85-95% of epa numbers overall, so can you.

I saw 2 and misread lol. I’m going with not enough coffee ha ha.This is about the long and short of it. I've accepted that reality and moved on
My wife's AMG EQS consistently gets better range than the EPA ratings and my DE-P consistently less. I don't have an issue with the true range I just get tired of my car never telling me the true range left. Lucid can fix that and should and stop hiding behind EPA test results.
