You can buy a car right now. The Lucid Air luxury sedan is currently in production and available for immediate order through Lucid's website or at their retail locations, known as Studios. Delivery times can vary from a few weeks to a few months depending on the specific trim and configuration you choose. For the upcoming Lucid Gravity SUV, reservations are open with production expected to begin in late 2024.
The process is direct-to-consumer, similar to other EV startups. You configure your car online, place an order, and Lucid handles the delivery. The available models and their starting prices (before potential federal tax credits) are a key consideration.
| Model | Current Status | Starting Price (MSRP) | Estimated Delivery (Post-Order) | Key Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lucid Air Pure | Available for Order | $69,900 | Several weeks | Rear-Wheel Drive, base model |
| Lucid Air Touring | Available for Order | $77,900 | Several weeks | All-Wheel Drive, balanced performance |
| Lucid Air Grand Touring | Available for Order | $109,900 | Varies by configuration | High-performance, long-range focus |
| Lucid Air Sapphire | Available for Order | $249,000 | Limited availability | Ultra-high-performance trim |
| Lucid Gravity | Reservation Phase | ~$80,000 (est.) | Late 2024 Production Start | Full-size SUV, not yet in production |
Your best first step is to use the online configurator on Lucid's official website. This tool lets you see all available options, real-time pricing, and can provide an estimated delivery timeline for your exact build. If you live near a major city like New York, Los Angeles, or Miami, visiting a Lucid Studio for a test drive is highly recommended to experience the car's features, like its impressive driving range and interior space, firsthand before committing.

Yeah, you can get one today. I just saw a Air at their showroom in the mall last weekend. The whole thing is online. You pick your color, wheels, and interior on their website, pay a deposit, and they contact you to schedule delivery. It’s pretty straightforward. If you want to drive it first, you have to book a test drive at one of their locations. The wait wasn't too bad for my neighbor; he got his in about six weeks.

Purchasing a vehicle is an ongoing process rather than a single release date. The Lucid Air sedan is fully available for purchase and delivery. The more pertinent question is about allocation and build time. After you finalize your order, the delivery advisor will give you a timeline based on the trim level. For the Gravity SUV, you can secure your place in line with a refundable deposit, but actual customer deliveries are a future event. I’m keeping a close watch on production updates for that model.

From a logistics standpoint, the ability to buy is here, but immediate gratification isn't guaranteed. The Air is in active production. However, if you order a high-demand configuration like the Grand Touring, you might face a longer wait than for a base Pure model. The critical step is the online configurator, which gives you a firm price and a delivery estimate. I recommend configuring a few options to see how it affects both cost and timeline before making a decision.

Think of it in two phases: current and future. For the present, the Air is absolutely buyable. You can complete the entire process online right now. For the future, the Gravity SUV is available for reservation. My advice is to act based on your timeline. If you want a car soon, focus on the Air. If you're planning for next year, a Gravity reservation makes sense. Always check the official website for the most current delivery estimates, as they can change based on supply chain and demand.
