The Lucid Gravity is “set to be the best SUV ever,” CEO Peter Rawlinson said during its Technology & Manufacturing Day on Tuesday.

With advanced new tech, the Gravity will enable “mass savings” as Lucid expands into new territory.

In a big milestone, Lucid’s (LCID) first pre-production luxury Gravity electric SUV rolled off the assembly line at its Casa Grande, Arizona factory. Lucid is embarking on a new journey with its first electric SUV and second EV joining its lineup.

Mere hours after sharing details of the final two versions of its Air sedan reaching customers this year, Lucid Motors has spoiled its audience with new details surrounding its upcoming Gravity SUV.

I recently had an exclusive opportunity to visit Lucid Motors’ powertrain manufacturing and AMP-1 facilities and test drive a Lucid Air Dream Edition (Performance). Inside and out of my detailed tours full of manic note scribbling, I had tons of time to mingle with members of the Lucid team, from manufacturing employees at AMP-1, to Lucid’s CEO himself. What I discovered was a company-wide focus on teamwork, efficiency, and the utmost quality – an ethos that is apparent when you view the Lucid Air sedan up close.
