Earlier this week, Lucid’s CEO Peter Rawlinson revealed the start of pre-production for the company’s second model, the Gravity SUV, at the manufacturing facility in Casa Grande, Arizona.

Scheduled to start production “in late 2024,” the three-row 7-seater SUV will have, as one of its competitors, the R1S from the California-based EV maker Rivian.

Speaking to CarBuzz, Lucid‘s CEO revealed he already tested Rivian’s SUV and said he’s “not worried”.

In the same interview, Rawlinson reiterated the company’s ambition to become a volume manufacturer and reach one million units sold per year. In the second quarter of the year, the company delivered 2,394 vehicles while producing 2,110 units.

On August 5, Lucid will publish its second-quarter financial results and it is expected an update from the management on the annual production guidance.
