Hi,

I was wondering what people have experienced as battery degradation in their Lucid cars.

Right now, I have a Tesla model Y. When I got in 12/2023, the range was 334. 1 year later (12/2024), the range had dropped to 312. That'a 6.6% battery degradation in just the first year. If that continues at a linear rate, I will be above a 30% battery degradation in just 4.5 years.

I typically charge to 80% and rarely use superchargers, so this battery degradation is quite surprising.

Do Lucid cars have the same issue?

BTW, Tesla service stated that this battery degradation is "normal"

If I leave the car keys in the lucid and walk away for a few hours, does the battery/lights stay on?

Is rear axle steering a available on Lucid cars? I want to buy an EV but I need to be able to park it in tight spaces. Other luxury cars (Porsche and Mercedes) offer this feature and it makes for much easier parking.

So just got a Pure last week, and I’m told that I have a year’s worth of access to Electrify America. I haven’t found any information on how to access it. Does anyone have any pointers?

Does anyone have a referral for a new Lucid car? I’m trying to buy today?

I'd love to switch from my Model S to a Lucid. But I live in Portland, Oregon. Lucid tells me the nearest Studios are in Vancouver, BC and San Francisco. I'm also told that there's no authorized service provider in Portland and the closest one is in Seattle, three hours away. I just can't make the switch under these circumstances, as much as I'd love to be driving the Air. Any thoughts on a solution?
