Lucid also claims there would be an option with a 130 kWh, 400-mile range battery; for comparison, Tesla's priciest Model S variant, the P100D, boasts a 337-mile range. The standard Air model, however, will have a 100 kWh battery, just like the P100D.

A camouflaged variant of the Air was first shown at the LA auto show in November.

Now, however, we can see what the near-final version of the car will look like: It's a futuristic-looking, large sedan, with thin stripes for head and tail lights.

Lucid plans to start producing the car in its new Arizona factory in 2018; the company anticipates to have more than 2,000 full-time employees at the facility by 2022. As for the lithium-ion batteries that will power the car, they will be supplied by Samsung SDI; the two companies announced a partnership in December.
