The company noted it has received more than 13,000 advance reservations for its Lucid Air model.
The California-based Lucid began production of the long-delayed Lucid Air vehicles at its Arizona factory this week, and said it plans to ramp plant's capacity up to 90,000 vehicles annually in the next two years - an ambitious goal, for sure.
The first Lucid Air will come at a hefty price tag, but many will believe the 1,000 hp performance, which takes it from zero to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds, earns every penny.
A high-end model, the Lucid Air Dream Edition, priced at $169,000, received an official U.S. government rating of a 520-mile driving range. That's 100 miles more than its closest rival, Tesla's Model S, which is priced at $89,990. And the company says it will take a mere 20 minutes to charge a vehicle so that it will go 300 miles.
Lucid says cheaper models will follow, including the Lucid Pure, which will go for a mere $77,000.
