Lucid To Start Taking Orders for Gravity SUV Next Week, But Only For Premium Variant Priced At About $95,000
Existing Lucid owners will be given priority when taking delivery of the Gravity SUV, the company said.California-based EV startup Lucid Motors (NASDAQ:LCID) will start taking orders from customers in the U.S. for its Gravity SUV starting Nov. 7, the company said on Tuesday.
总部位于加利福尼亚的电动汽车初创公司Lucid Motors（纳斯达克:LCID）将于11月7日开始接受美国客户对其重力SUV的订单。公司周二表示。
What Happened: Orders will initially be taken for the Grand Touring trim of the SUV starting from $94,900 which is expected to start production in late 2024.
发生了什么：最初将接受以售价为94,900美元的Grand Touring款式的SUV订单，预计于2024年底开始生产。
Production of the lower-priced Touring trim of the vehicle, starting at $79,900, will start only in late 2025, the company said.
该公司表示，售价为79,900美元的价格更低的Touring款式车辆的生产将仅于2025年底开始。
Existing Lucid owners will be given priority when taking delivery of the Gravity SUV, the company said.
现有的Lucid车主将在接受重力SUV交付时优先考虑，公司表示。
The Gravity is expected to rival Tesla Inc.'s Model X SUV which starts at $79,990 for the base version and at $94,990 for the more premium Plaid version. The corresponding Gravity variants are priced at just $90 lower.
重力SUV预计将与特斯拉公司的Model X SUV竞争，后者基础版本的售价为79,990美元，而更高端的Plaid版本售价为94,990美元。对应的Gravity车型的定价仅低90美元。
| Variant | Tesla Model X | Variant | Lucid Gravity |
| All-Wheel Drive | $74,990 | Touring | $79,900 |
| Plaid | $94,990 | Grand Touring | $94,900 |
| 变异体 | 特斯拉odysseyModel X | 变异体 | 重力社 |
| 所有板块驱动 | $74,990 | 旅行 | $79,900 |
| 方斑 | $94,990 | 大游览 | $94,900 |
During Lucid's first-quarter earnings call in May, the CEO said that Gravity has a "significant opportunity" that the Model X did not capture. 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.
在五月份Lucid的第一季度业绩会上，CEO表示重力社有一个"重要的机会"，但Model X没有抓住。他表示，虽然Model X有点像汽车，但重力社是一款合适的三排座SUV，并且有望成为"世界上最好的SUV"。
Why It Matters: 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.
为何重要：目前，Lucid的Air轿车是唯一在生产中的车型，起售价为69,900美元。该车旨在面向更高端的客户群体，其Grand Touring和Sapphire版本分别起步价为110,900美元和249,000美元。
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.
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。
The Gravity SUV was unveiled in November 2023. In August, Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson refused to give a date for opening reservations of its upcoming Gravity SUV, while also criticizing rival auto companies for 'prematurely' opening a reservation list.
重力SUV于2023年11月亮相。在八月份，Lucid首席执行官彼得·罗林森拒绝透露其即将推出的重力SUV的预订开放日期，同时批评竞争对手汽车公司"过早"开放预订名单。
"What we feel is that some companies have really done their customer base a disservice by prematurely opening a reservation list. It becomes very speculative and almost meaningless to a certain degree," Rawlinson said during the company's second-quarter earnings call, adding that the company will start taking orders when it is in a position to do so.
"我们认为一些公司通过过早开放预订名单真的对客户群造成了损害。这变得非常投机，在某种程度上几乎毫无意义，"罗林森在公司第二季度业绩会上表示，并补充说，公司将在有能力时开始接受订单。
