Lucid To Start Taking Orders for Gravity SUV Next Week, But Only For Premium Variant Priced At About $95,000
Existing Lucid owners will be given priority when taking delivery of the Gravity SUV, the company said.California-based EV startup Lucid Motors (NASDAQ:LCID) will start taking orders from customers in the U.S. for its Gravity SUV starting Nov. 7, the company said on Tuesday.
總部位於加利福尼亞的電動汽車初創公司Lucid Motors（納斯達克:LCID）將於11月7日開始接受美國客戶對其重力SUV的訂單。公司週二表示。
What Happened: Orders will initially be taken for the Grand Touring trim of the SUV starting from $94,900 which is expected to start production in late 2024.
發生了什麼：最初將接受以售價爲94,900美元的Grand Touring款式的SUV訂單，預計於2024年底開始生產。
Production of the lower-priced Touring trim of the vehicle, starting at $79,900, will start only in late 2025, the company said.
該公司表示，售價爲79,900美元的價格更低的Touring款式車輛的生產將僅於2025年底開始。
Existing Lucid owners will be given priority when taking delivery of the Gravity SUV, the company said.
現有的Lucid車主將在接受重力SUV交付時優先考慮，公司表示。
The Gravity is expected to rival Tesla Inc.'s Model X SUV which starts at $79,990 for the base version and at $94,990 for the more premium Plaid version. The corresponding Gravity variants are priced at just $90 lower.
重力SUV預計將與特斯拉公司的Model X SUV競爭，後者基礎版本的售價爲79,990美元，而更高端的Plaid版本售價爲94,990美元。對應的Gravity車型的定價僅低90美元。
| Variant | Tesla Model X | Variant | Lucid Gravity |
| All-Wheel Drive | $74,990 | Touring | $79,900 |
| Plaid | $94,990 | Grand Touring | $94,900 |
| 變異體 | 特斯拉odysseyModel X | 變異體 | 重力社 |
| 所有板塊驅動 | $74,990 | 旅行 | $79,900 |
| 方斑 | $94,990 | 大遊覽 | $94,900 |
During Lucid's first-quarter earnings call in May, the CEO said that Gravity has a "significant opportunity" that the Model X did not capture. While the Model X is a bit car-like, the Gravity is a proper three-row SUV and is on track to become the "world's best SUV," he said.
在五月份Lucid的第一季度業績會上，CEO表示重力社有一個"重要的機會"，但Model X沒有抓住。他表示，雖然Model X有點像汽車，但重力社是一款合適的三排座SUV，並且有望成爲"世界上最好的SUV"。
Why It Matters: Currently, Lucid's Air sedan, with a starting price of $69,900, is its only vehicle in production. The vehicle is aimed at a more premium customer base with its Grand Touring and Sapphire versions starting at $110,900 and $249,000, respectively.
爲何重要：目前，Lucid的Air轎車是唯一在生產中的車型，起售價爲69,900美元。該車旨在面向更高端的客戶群體，其Grand Touring和Sapphire版本分別起步價爲110,900美元和249,000美元。
After Gravity, the company also intends to start production of a high volume, midsize vehicle in late 2026, which is expected to start at around $48,000, as a direct competitor to Tesla's mass-market offerings Model 3 and Model Y.
Gravity之後，該公司還打算在2026年末開始生產一款高產量的中型車，起價約爲48,000美元，作爲特斯拉大衆市場汽車Model 3和Model Y的直接競爭對手。
The Gravity SUV was unveiled in November 2023. In August, Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson refused to give a date for opening reservations of its upcoming Gravity SUV, while also criticizing rival auto companies for 'prematurely' opening a reservation list.
重力SUV於2023年11月亮相。在八月份，Lucid首席執行官彼得·羅林森拒絕透露其即將推出的重力SUV的預訂開放日期，同時批評競爭對手汽車公司"過早"開放預訂名單。
"What we feel is that some companies have really done their customer base a disservice by prematurely opening a reservation list. It becomes very speculative and almost meaningless to a certain degree," Rawlinson said during the company's second-quarter earnings call, adding that the company will start taking orders when it is in a position to do so.
"我們認爲一些公司通過過早開放預訂名單真的對客戶群造成了損害。這變得非常投機，在某種程度上幾乎毫無意義，"羅林森在公司第二季度業績會上表示，並補充說，公司將在有能力時開始接受訂單。
