Lucid (Atieva) reveal is December 14th. I'll be there, let you know afterwards.

Lucid announced they will produce from Casa Grande Arizona.

I live in Casa Grande and I certainly have not heard anything about this.

In the video @Adm just added, I recognized the person talking at 24:40 (link). I remember him from the following Tesla video I watched a few years ago. I thought it was impressive. This guy knows what he is talking about. Considering he is now CTO at Lucid Motors, I think Lucid has a decent chance at being successful. The video below is from Tesla's youtube channel. It consists of 3 parts. I recommend watching all 3. You can find part 1 here. I think many of the great features in the Model S will be implemented in Lucid's car as well. @FredLambert, you could add this detail to your Lucid articles. According to the description in the Tesla video, Peter Rawlinson was Vice President of Vehicle Engineering at Tesla.

Update: Interestingly, in part 2 of Tesla's video, after 2:15 (link) you can see Nick Sampson (now at Faraday Future). It is amazing that this moment was captured in the following video.

Maybe Governor Ducey should have a quick chat with Nevada State Treasurer Dan Schwartz about investing in that new car factory thingie ("been there, done that"). Also, will they have to cut an opening in the wall between Arizona and Senora so parts destined for the Lucid plant can flow freely across the border?

Looks like from that press release / announcement video that the Lucid car will have a Model X style extended windshield. Good looking car too, even with the camo on. Glad to see some former Tesla people making what looks like is going to be another stellar vehicle.

Are you sure that Mr Schwartz knows what he is talking about. It might be like saying that someone should talk to the LA times about Elon, SpaceX or Tesla. It seems to me that Mr Schwartz has some sort of issue with the deal since the beginning and just repeats his warnings at every opportunity, and the press love to write about it since the drama draws readers. Just like the LA times with Elon.

Excited to see what shows up at this reveal. From everything I'm seeing, this is a company that actually seems to know what they're doing. While breaking in to the car market isn't an easy feat, this company is so far doing everything right. They have a long road ahead, and there are certainly no guarantees, but I wish them success in their endeavour.

Just a little over a week away. I have heard some more "rumblings" about some cool stuff. I look forward to sharing that with you folks after the reveal. I know Bonnie and Cattledog will be there as well!

Some pictures of their sedan in camo are already out.

Anyone notice the interior pic of that alpha prototype has Model S interior door handles? Wonder how those made their way in there

I'm hearing a lot of great things about Lucid, I'm pretty excited to see where this goes. I'll definitely be looking for a stream of the event next week.

And how about that gear stick on the steering wheel base?

 

[trils0n]

And how about that gear stick on the steering wheel base?

Yeah, same Mercedes Benz gear selector, turn signal, and cruise control that the Model S originally shipped with (Wasn't sure I should mention it cuz it was MB part, not Tesla specific). Tires/wheels look to be the same size as Tesla uses for 21s as well.

 

[lunitiks]

Brake calipers kind of looks the same

The same head designer, much of the same staff. Not a surprise they'd chose many of the same parts suppliers.

 

[palmer_md]

Anyone with an available +1?

Talk here of 400 mile range: Lucid Motors and Samsung claims ‘breakthrough’ battery cell to power upcoming all-electric sedan

 

[strider]

looks cheap... particularly if it's just ornamental.

and just look at those panel gaps!!!!!!

But seriously, I wish them the best. Tesla needs some competition to get their crap in order.

 

[jay-bay]

Can't wait!!

I hope Lucid reveals something really great looking. I still cringe at the thought of the Faraday Future "Batmobile".

Why did they change their name though? It sounds way too much like Lucent. 1996 called... they want their 56k modem back
