2025 Lucid Air — rear tires are disappearing faster than expected — Tampa owner question

RoadTripEnthusiastCommunity StarterApr 15, 20262025 Lucid Air PureTampa
This started as a small annoyance and I finally decided to track it down. The car is aligned and pressures are correct, but rear tire life is much shorter than my previous gas cars. Has rotation strategy, tire choice or driving style made the biggest difference?

Log the conditions before you spend. A pressure test beats staring at a dry driveway if the 2025 Lucid Air is losing coolant with no puddle. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. On “rear tires are disappearing faster than expected,” that was the fork that mattered for me. That's the sequence I'd use. Trying not to diagnose from the couch.

I wouldn't throw parts yet. Get a real battery/charging test on the 2025 Lucid Air, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. Save the big job until that test fails. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

Start with the test that can prove you wrong. Swap the cheap/easy piece first on the 2025 Lucid Air and see if the fault moves. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. This is from a 2025 Lucid Air in Tampa. Time, temperature, and whether it's in gear are the notes that actually help a shop. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

If it were in my driveway, loaded-suspension checks on the 2025 Lucid Air catch play that a wheels-hanging inspection misses. That's the branch I'd chase this week. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. Only after sitting overnight so far.

Ask what changed right before it started. Move a coil or plug on the 2025 Lucid Air if it's cylinder-specific and see whether the code follows. Save the big job until that test fails. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.
