We expected a remarkable result when we sent the Lucid Air for independent range testing at FEV North America, a leading provider of engineering services in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
Lucid Motors says its Air sedan will be equipped with a long range wide-angle Lidar sensor, the first in a production car.
I don’t praise a lot of cars on their looks. I don’t often smack-talk their looks either if I think they’re super ugly. I think aesthetics are highly subjective, I just don’t like “criticizing for the fun of it,” and, unfortunately, I don’t find many vehicles visually appealing. The Lucid Air, though …
Lucid Motors says it plans a full reveal for the Lucid Air online on September 9 and the start of pre-production at its factory in Arizona by the end of the year.
Last month, Lucid Motors quietly took a pre-production Lucid Air electric sedan on a 400-mile (643 km) drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles. The run was part range test, part proof of concept, and part PR mission, and went off without a hitch. Then, once the Lucid crew made it to LA?

2019 is drawing to a close, so let’s take stock of a decade of green mobility progress that started with a handful of startups a decade ago.
The first beta engineering prototype Lucid Air hit the streets for the first time in front of an army of elated Lucid employees. The early build represents a milestone for the company as a vehicle that is 95% representative of what will eventually make it into a production vehicle. The company is planning to starting rolling the Lucid Air into production at its newly commissioned factory in Casa Grande, Arizona late next year.
After 3 years of delay, Lucid Motors has begun building its factory in Casa Grande, Arizona, thanks to a $1 billion line of funding from Saudi Arabia. Production is expected to begin in about a year.
