“ With AMP-1 up and running, Arizona will continue growing as an electric vehicle epicenter, attracting EV innovators throughout the supply chain.” “Today has been years in the making, and we are excited to see production kick off at Lucid’s state-of-the-art factory in Casa Grande,” said Sandra Watson, President and CEO, Arizona Commerce Authority. The nearly 1-million-square-foot facility will manufacture Lucid Air Dream Edition models. Positioned on a 590-acre site, AMP-1 is the first greenfield, dedicated electric vehicle factory to be built in North America. We are proud to call the Lucid Air “Made In Arizona” and look forward to many more innovations to come.” I commend CEO Peter Rawlinson, Sandra Watson and the Arizona Commerce Authority, and Casa Grande Mayor Craig McFarland for their partnership to bring this project to completion. “Lucid’s ongoing investment in Arizona represents an investment in good jobs and livelihoods for Arizonans now and in the future. “Today’s event signifies a new era in electric vehicle manufacturing in Arizona,” said Governor Doug Ducey. “I’m delighted that production cars endowed with this level of efficiency are currently driving off our factory line.” Our technology will allow for increasingly lighter, more efficient, and less expensive EVs, and today represents a major step in our journey to expand the accessibility of more sustainable transportation,” said Peter Rawlinson, CEO and CTO, Lucid Group. For example, our Lucid Air Grand Touring has an official EPA rating of 516 miles of range with a 112-kWh battery pack, giving it an industry-leading efficiency of 4.6 miles per kWh. “The proprietary EV technology that Lucid has developed will make it possible to travel more miles using less battery energy. AMP-1 will create approximately 6,000 direct jobs with an economic impact of more than $100 million by 2030. Lucid has also embarked on a massive expansion of the facility, which will add 2.85 million square feet to support more Lucid Air production and establish production of the Gravity SUV starting in 2023.

The company kicked off its Production Preview Week, a series of events during which Lucid welcomed guests to AMP-1 and Lucid Powertrain Manufacturing (LPM-1). We hope Rawlinson and his team are willing to give us a sneak peek of the interior of the factory.Lucid Motors Starts Production of Lucid Air at AMP-1 Factory in Casa GrandeĪMP-1 will create 6,000 jobs by 2029 with an economic impact of more than $100 millionĬASA GRANDE, AZ (September 28, 2021) - Lucid Group today celebrated the start of production of its Lucid Air at its Advanced Manufacturing Plant (AMP-1) in Casa Grande with a factory commissioning ceremony attended by Lucid Group CEO and CTO Peter Rawlinson and Governor Doug Ducey.
The pictures do not present that part of the building, but we would bet it is complete at this point. The footage shows part of the building at the back, still in need of these walls. Regarding the factory, Flasch referred to a lack of walls in the video. It even seems to have the parking spots already determined in some photographs. The pictures now taken by Flasch reveal that place is already paved. The video shows that the employees' parking lot was still waiting for asphalt in July.
Another impressive landmark for the company is the EPA estimated range of 517 mi.
The company has already shown it has the fastest sedan on Earth, with a time of 9.9 on the quarter-mile – just a coincidence with the car's presentation date. This is something Peter Rawlinson will probably be able to confirm this September 9, when he will present the production version of the Lucid Air.
