On September 28th, Lucid officially announced that the Lucid Air Dream Edition (top-of-the-line) version will begin deliveries in late October.
The Range version offers an EPA range of 520 miles (approximately 837 kilometers), which is currently the EPA range ceiling. The Performance version offers 1,111 horsepower. Both versions are priced at $169,000 (Model S Plaid price is $122,990).
The new car will be produced at the AMP-1 factory in Arizona. Of course, the expansion plan of the AMP-1 factory will also begin at the end of this year, to prepare for the production of Lucid’s SUV Gravity, and we may see this SUV as early as 2023 at the soonest.
In mid-September, the first Rivian R1T also went into production, and several websites have had “First Drive” experiences with the R1T in the past few days. The American new energy vehicle market is seeing a small surge.
