The folks at InsideEVs conducted what they say is the first "independent" range test for the Lucid Air, putting it through their 70mph highway test, and it dominated.
The previous record was 310-miles from a 2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range (followed by a 2021 Model S Plaid which went 300 miles) and the Air returned an almost unbelievable 500.1 miles before showing 0% state of charge. The consumption rate was 4.3 miles/kWh and they consume 117 kWh of juice.
I've had a niggling suspicion that an updated Model S Long Range would be close to an Air, but it's hard to know since the Plaid gets all the attention. But looking at what InsideEVs got with a Plaid, it's hard to imagine a non-Plaid S coming close to the Air.
Incredible work, Lucid!
