Lucid Motors (LCID) is celebrating a massive accomplishment after the first Gravity electric SUV rolled off the production line at its Casa Grande plant in Arizona on Thursday.
Lucid builds first Gravity SUV models for deliveries
Although the first pre-production models were built at Lucid’s factory in July, these are the first customer models ready for delivery.
Lucid posted a video (Check it out below) on social media of the first Gravity electric SUV rolling off the assembly line in Arizona. The EV maker said its “groundbreaking SUV” is now officially in production in Arizona.
The Lucid Gravity “heralds the dawn of a new era for electric SUVs” with over 440 miles of driving range. Lucid’s three-row electric SUV also packs up to 120 cubic feet of cargo space. That’s more than enough for you and six of your closest friends or family members (and their luggage).
Lucid opened Gravity SUV orders last month. The first model, the Gravity Grand Touring, is available to order starting at $94,900.

The promised “under $80,000” Touring model will be available in late 2025, starting at $79,900. CEO Peter Rawlinson said the Gravity “represents a significant leap forward for Lucid’s world-leading technology and design.”
Even with over 440 miles of driving range, the electric SUV’s battery pack is “a little more than half the size of some of our battery-hungry competitors,” according to Rawlinson.
The Gravity is Lucid’s second EV to enter production, behind the Air sedan. Although Lucid hasn’t sold as many Air models as initially expected, it’s coming off its third straight quarter of record deliveries.
With the Gravity joining its lineup, Lucid looks to build momentum into next year. In 2026, Lucid plans to launch its new midsize EV platform. According to Rawlinson, the first model, a midsize electric SUV, will be aimed “right in the heart” of Tesla Model Y territory.
