The luxury cars undergo quality control checks and any imperfections will be repaired. Lucid mainly developed battery technology in its early years. Production of its first car started in 2014. Electric motors are manufactured separately and assembled into the car

Factory workers assemble parts step-by-step according to a predetermined procedure. After assembly, cars move through different test processes.

The range of the Dream Edition car is estimated at 520 miles, the longest range in the electric car market.
