Lucid Motors cut the ribbon on its newly expanded Advanced Manufacturing Plant One (AMP-1) manufacturing facility in Casa Grande, Arizona last week, and InsideEVs was one of the few news outlets invited to a ceremony that included presentations by CEO Peter Rawlinson and Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs. The expansion quadrupled the size of the plant, from a little less than 900,000 square feet to nearly 4,000,000 square feet.
That's a lot of real estate for an EV startup that only delivered 6,001 cars last year. In December, Lucid sold its 10,000th Air sedan after being in production for slightly more than two years. So why the big expansion?
