Gravity, the second model of the EV maker Lucid Motors, is currently taking about “4- 5 weeks” to assemble at the company’s Arizona plant, according to details contained in a customer email seen by EV.
The production and delivery timeline comes as a new drone flyover showed a record of about 1,000 Gravity vehicles parked at the Arizona plant.
The number of semi-assembled units intended for completion at Lucid’s facilities in Saudi Arabia remains unclear.
The message, sent on Wednesday by a Lucid sales specialist to a buyer of a Green-and-Tahoe coloured Gravity Dream Edition, said the vehicle had “officially entered production and final assembly today” at the Casa Grande EV plant.
It added that production was expected to last “approximately 4–5 weeks, followed by an additional 2–3 weeks for delivery once production is complete.”
The disclosure provides a rare glimpse into the model’s production timeline, which the company itself has not publicly specified.
Lucid delivered the very first units to employees, friends, and their families in the final days of 2024 but supply chain constraints impacted the production ramp-up pace forecasted by the company.
Marc Winterhoff, Lucid‘s interim chief executive, acknowledged last week that the ramp-up had “faced a few challenges, including supplier constraints.”
In an email to reservation holders obtained by EV, he said that while “most configurations are now in production,” certain variants remain delayed due to component shortages.
However, the interim CEO has not disclosed which exact configurations were more impacted.
Previously, Winterhoff had already said that the production ramp up was happening “more slowly than desired.”
“Deliveries are accelerating,” Winterhoff wrote, adding that momentum was expected to build through the summer. “Most configurations are now in production, and we’re working diligently to resolve the few that remain affected by component shortages.”
He cautioned, however, that for some builds still constrained by suppliers, deliveries “may take longer than initially anticipated.” His comments followed remarks in late June when he conceded that the ramp-up had “gone more slowly than desired.”
Nick Twork, Lucid’s global head of communications, said on Wednesday that production was improving. “More Gravity vehicles were produced in recent weeks than in the January-June period,” he said, citing efficiency gains and the easing of supply pressures.
“Supply chain constraints were behind the initial issues we experienced in scaling up, but we have since addressed many of those constraints and improved manufacturing efficiency during the year,” Twork added.
