Lucid Motors Inc. on Tuesday said it is making the initial 80 prototype models of its first electric vehicle, the Air, ahead of a formal unveiling in New York in April.
The Newark, California, company is building the first batch of cars at a large manufacturing and lab space formerly occupied by failed blood-testing business Theranos Inc. It plans to start making the cars for sale during the fourth quarter of this year at a huge factory it is building in Casa Grande , south of Phoenix in Pinal County.
