Lucid Motors hosted on Sunday an event with over 250 owners in Torrance, CA, where it gave them the opportunity to talk with the team and check the highly anticipated second model, the SUV Gravity.
Scheduled to start production in November/December, the three-row model will feature both CCS and NACS charging ports allowing owners to charge at Tesla’s Supercharger network in the U.S. without the need for any adapter.
As of today, Rivian and Ford owners can already charge their vehicles at Tesla’s network across the country with Nissan, General Motors, Volvo, Polestar and Mercedes Benz on the list to join “soon,” according to Tesla’s website.
The information was initially shared by a user on X who attended the event on Sunday “We were just told the Lucid gravity will have 2 charge ports as shown here- 1 with NACS and 1 with CCS,” Zack wrote on X.
On the last day of July, Lucid’s CEO, Peter Rawlinson, announced that the first pre-production units of the Gravity had rolled off the production line.
In a recent interview, Lucid‘s CEO revealed he already tested Rivian’s SUV and said he’s “not worried”.
Asked about the competition with Rivian, Rawlinson said, “You could say, ‘How is Rivian gonna respond?’ Because Gravity is gonna be the best SUV out there, and no one will be able to compete with it”.
“To me, product is king. Bring it on […], but I’ve driven R1S, and I’ve driven the Gravity. I’m not worried,” Rawlinson added.
As seen in the SUV from Rivian, Lucid Gravity will also feature an off-road mode that improves traction and handling when driving in gravel, sand, or mud.
Although they are only planned to become available in late 2025, Lucid is developing captain chairs for the three-row SUV offering greater adjustability and a more spacious cabin.
As of now, it is still not confirmed if the California-based EV maker will add extra features to the second and third-row seats such as heating, cooling, or massage function.
The company revealed last week that its largest shareholder, which owns about 60% of the EV maker, will inject another $1.5 billion in cash. In March, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) had agreed to invest $1 billion.
Lucid Motors reported its earnings results from the second quarter of the year with revenue beating analysts’ estimates: $200.6 million versus $186.2 million.
Last week, the company reiterated its annual production guidance of 9,000 vehicles as it prepares to start producing its second model, the Gravity SUV, later this year.
