Is Lucid's range estimate unrealistic or just overestimated?

[Abel]

I’ve noticed that Lucid’s range estimate seems unrealistic. After charging to 80%, my car shows 344 miles, which is based on the EPA consumption of 4.7 miles/kWh, but in winter, my actual consumption is closer to 2.7 miles/kWh. I think Lucid should use a running average of the last 50 miles for a more accurate range estimate, similar to how GM does it. Anyone else noticing this discrepancy?

Yeah, Lucid’s range estimates feel more like a best-case scenario rather than a real-world number. In colder weather, 2.7 miles/kWh is pretty standard, so the 344-mile estimate at 80% is definitely misleading. Lucid should take a page from GM and add a real-time efficiency-based range display.

I agree, the range estimates can be off, especially in colder weather. A real-time efficiency gauge like GM's would make a huge difference in managing expectations and planning trips more accurately.
