Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) CEO Peter Rawlinson on Tuesday shared a short video of him driving the company's very first pre-production Gravity SUV, slated to start production later this year.
What Happened: "...Lucid Gravity moves another step closer to customer's hands. Not all EVs are born equal," Rawlinson wrote in the post.
Rawlinson is seen in the video driving a black Gravity SUV as employees at the company's Arizona factory cheer.
The Gravity SUV was unveiled in November and is expected to start under $80,000, a price point close to Tesla's premium Model X SUV which now starts at about $79,990.
The company is expected to start production of Gravity later this year.

While the Model X is a bit car-like, the Gravity is a proper three-row SUV and is on track to become the "world's best SUV," he said.
Currently, Lucid's Air sedan, with a starting price of $69,900, is its only vehicle in production. The vehicle is aimed at a more premium customer base with its Grand Touring and Sapphire versions starting at $110,900 and $249,000, respectively.
After Gravity, the company also intends to start production of a high volume, midsize vehicle in late 2026, which is expected to start at around $48,000, as a direct competitor to Tesla's mass-market offerings Model 3 and Model Y.
In the second quarter of 2024, Lucid delivered 2,394 vehicles, crossing the 2000 benchmark for the first time since the company started deliveries in the fourth quarter of 2021.

目前,Lucid的Air轿车是唯一正在生产的车型,起始价为69,900美元。该车型旨在面向更高端的客户群体,其Grand Touring和Sapphire版本的起始价分别为110,900美元和249,000美元。
Gravity之后,该公司还打算在2026年末开始生产一款高产量的中型车,起价约为48,000美元,作为特斯拉大众市场汽车Model 3和Model Y的直接竞争对手。
在2024年第二季度,Lucid交付了2394辆汽车,自公司在2021年第四季度开始交付以来,这是首次突破2000大关。
