IT Home reported on December 26 that Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson said that Lucid plans to launch an electric car of about 50,000 US dollars (IT Home note: currently about 357,000 yuan) to compete with Tesla's best-selling Model Y and Model 3.
Lucid's earliest model, the Air sedan, began mass production in September 2021, with the entry-level Pure version starting at $77,400 (currently about 553,000 yuan).
Last month, Lucid also launched an electric SUV called the Gravity, which is benchmarked against Tesla's Model X, but the Gravity starts at about $80,000 (currently about 571,000 yuan), while the Model X is only $68,590 (currently about 490,000 yuan).
Rawlinson told Autocar that Lucid is already working on an electric car that could compete with Tesla. "I mean 'not 2025', it's going to be a few years away, but it's close. ”
"It takes three and a half years to build a car, and we've already started...... And this is not just yesterday. ”
