Product Operations Manager Jason Regelski agrees. “We do have some robots and we do have automation, but this vehicle is put together by humans,” says Art Schlaud, Director of Manufacturing for GA. At this stage in the process, it’s less about the robots, and more about the hands-on human element. This is where they marry the body, powertrain, and all the expertly-crafted interior comes together and is then quality-tested to ensure EV perfection. Once a new Lucid Air emerges from the paint shop, it’s time to move into general assembly. Finesse: finally, post-bake, the car is brought to the finesse deck where a team inspects and polishes it to perfection before approving to ship to the customer.Here, they have integrated the latest innovative process and materials technologies that result in a flawless, luxurious finish. Paint: once the unit is sealed and sanded, it’s then sent into the paint booth.Sealer: next they thoroughly seal the vehicle to prevent any type of air or water intrusion that could create road noise or water leakage into the car.They apply both a thin film coating and electrodeposition coating, which protect the entire body structure from corrosion. Pretreatment and Electrocoat: as each Lucid Air comes out of the body shop, it gets rigorously cleaned.Here are the steps an Air goes through once it enters the paint shop: To give Lucid Air its rich color and stunning finish, they created a process as efficient as the car. The Lucid Air is the quickest, longest range, fastest charging luxury electric car in the world, the company says, with a max horsepower of 1,080 and range of over 500 miles per charge. We have the latest and greatest materials, and we have a high-powered team of engineers and manufacturing professionals.” The Painting Process We've got the latest and greatest paint process. “So the processes and the materials that we use are nothing but the best in the world. “We're competing against the best in the world, and we know it.” Boike says.
The Lucid Air Pure joins the lineup in early 2022.
They will begin production with the Lucid Air Dream Edition, followed quickly by Grand Touring and Touring models. And in its final form, the manufacturing capacity will be up to 400,000 annually. This gives the Lucid Air state-of-the-art structural efficiency.Īs Lucid rolls out the first Air models this spring, AMP-1 has the capacity to deliver up to 30,000 units per year. Lucid Motors CEO Peter RawlinsonThe all-new manufacturing system at Lucid’s AMP-1 embraces advanced processes, such as an aircraft-inspired riveted and bonded monocoque body structure replacing spot welds. It also needs to be big enough for any size vehicle that comes through.”Īircraft-Inspired Monocoque Body Structure “The first year we’re only planning for 30,000 cars, but at full-capacity, the paint shop will support 400,000 cars per year.
“When you build a paint shop, you have to build with the final volume in mind,” says Mike Boike, Director of Manufacturing. It’s the cornerstone of the factory, and embodies our commitment to luxury and sustainability for Lucid, an American electric vehicle manufacturer headquartered in Newark, California. And they all revolve around their innovative paint shop, designed to expand in phases. Lucid Motors has got big plans for the future of Lucid Advanced Manufacturing Plant (AMP-1) in Casa Grande, Arizona.
