Midsize platform coming in late 2026--per Electrek

[Zinee]

Lucid's (LCID) midsize EV platform is coming next year, bringing three $50,000 'top hats'

As Lucid (LCID) ramps up production of its first electric SUV, the Gravity, the EV maker has several new lower-priced...

Article says, per interim CEO, platform is coming late 2026 with production the following year. "Lucid has “three top hats” in the works, two of which will launch relatively close to each other. The third will follow shortly after."

Well if we can learn anything from Gravity it will be a 2027 model and probably not really ramp up until 2028

^very accurate! My wife just leased a model Y. The lucid Midsize is next so this timeline works perfectly for us.

In the meantime, competition is heating up. BMW's midsize iX3 SUV charges as fast as Gravity (400kW) but presumably with a smaller battery:

That’s the problem. Lucid ideally needed to get this delivering next year. Especially given the R2 is just around the corner as well.

Apple also isn’t always first. But they are usually not the worst, either. Lucid isn’t Apple, but I’m not counting them out from pulling out yet another magic trick.

Although, with their recent acquisition of the Nikola factory that could accelerate the timeline to meet that late ‘26 time frame. The interim CEO did say they will use that as their pilot line for first models. With a reveal scheduled for later this year, I could see them do a strong roll out a year later.

The memes size is still a plan
We have not seen the concept or the specifications

I think we could see something in late 2025 or early 2026 but the mass production is like late 2028 based on Lucid time line

The gravity is low volume car and it seems that they will not hit equilibrium of demand and supply until end of 2026 or Q2 2027

This is just my predictions based on what I read and see
