Here's how the base model stacks up to the other Lucid models on price and range:

• The Grand Touring model costs $139,000 with 517-mile range on a single charge (the highest-range version)

• The Dream Edition is $169,000 with 503-mile range (the most expensive option)

• The Air Touring model is available later in 2021 for $95,000 with 406-mile range

The Dream Edition has that staggering price for its high-end interior with reclining executive seats in the back. The more modestly priced Air with just a single motor looks a little different from the dual-engine, all-wheel drive Dream. There's no glass roof and super-spacious drivers seat. But owners of any Lucid (including the base model) are eligible for three years of free charging through the Electrify America charging network.

The base level Air is available to reserve online for $300 starting Wednesday.
