I have noticed that the speed on my Lucid is consistently 10 per cent off. I don't know if it is due to the 20 inch wheels or not. I plan on calling service as soon as I get back from this trip to California.

Speed limit indication often wrong
Has anyone noticed that the speed limit indication is often wrong. Mine often shows an inaccurate speed limit, but inconsistently. Driving in the same location, the shown limit will sometimes be correct and other times it will not. I'm not sure where the car gets the data, but I wish I could depend on the info in the Lucid display.

My understanding having had the same issue is that the vehicle's camera needs to see a sign to adjust to the accurate limit, until it does it may show the last recorded limit (?).
I have the same issue. It shows a road I drive on every time I drive as a 35mph zone when it’s actually posted 55mph (it never changes to 55 even if passing a sign). It’s also annoying because when I use navigation it always wants to send me driving 3 miles extra to hit the freeway and then 3 miles extra back. And yes, I get home faster using the backroad than the highway.Has anyone noticed that the speed limit indication is often wrong. Mine often shows an inaccurate speed limit, but inconsistently.

I have the same problem on some roads. I'm not sure about Lucid, but normally this Info is provided to the OE Car Manufacturer by a Tier 1 supplier for the GPS database. A GPS Navigation System needs a database of street names, street numbers, Highway numbers, On Ramps, off-ramps, Places and Points of Interest, one-way, two-way, etc. and the Speed limit is typically included. So, their supplier may be giving them inaccurate data. It is also possible that sometimes the computer reads the GPS coordinates and then links to a nearby side street by mistake. It that happens, then the Speed Limit should change with in a few seconds. But that doesn't always seem to be the case. I also agree that the cameras maybe reading signs. When I exited I-24 today, the car continued to show the Speed Limit as 70 for at least 1/2 mile until I passed a sign posting the 35 mile speed limit. If it is relying on signs, it is always going to be inconsistent and inaccurate. It is definitely an issue they will need to address as Dream Drive ramps up to the next level.
