Make sure you have regen set to high, and yes the car is known to get a little more efficient after the break-in period. Accelerate slowly off the line, it’s a heavy heavy car. I have 6800 miles on my car now, and I charge to 90% and today at 21% I have driven 305 miles on my daily commute (I have 19” wheels as well). It’s cold out now and so I’m using heat/heated seats/heated steering wheel, and I only plug in when I get to about 10% so my car experiences so phantom drain as well. My commute consists of city and highway driving.
I never charge mine to 100, but at 80% mine now shows a slight increase from when I first got it. @Coltonw011 - have you seen this as well?
Yes I saw a bump on my 90% charge of about 5 miles or so. My full charge (rare but I do it occasionally) often times comes up 516-523
I've said this before and will continue to say it the Lucid Air was made for Highway driving. A lot of other EVs do great around town, but the Air is too heavy and loses way too much efficiency in city driving. If the majority of your driving is city driving, you need to manage/reset your expectations.
As @hydbob wrote, highway efficiency is higher. I’m on 19s and get low 4s on the highway but low 3s city. Like @Sandvinsd I bought the car for what it would do on trips and it’s delivering in that area. Is it disappointing that city driving efficiency is that low? Yeah but nobody is accelerating so slowly as to incite road rage like in the EPA testing. The fault isn’t with car manufacturers not meeting EPA estimates but with the EPA not using realistic test scenarios.
