A camouflaged Lucid Cosmos prototype has been spotted testing on public roads near the Lucid factory in Casa Grande, Arizona. The photo shows the midsize SUV right next to a Tesla Model Y, giving us our best real-world size comparison yet.
The sighting comes as Lucid prepares for the Cosmos’s full public unveil this summer, with production slated for late 2026.
The photo, shared on X by user @john61640, shows the Cosmos covered in black-and-white camouflage wrap — standard practice for pre-production prototypes undergoing road testing. What makes the image particularly telling is the Tesla Model Y parked right next to it at what appears to be an intersection near Lucid’s Arizona plant.
The two vehicles look remarkably similar in size, confirming what Lucid has been saying about the Cosmos’s positioning. The midsize SUV is a direct competitor to the best-selling EV in the world.
The Cosmos is Lucid’s make-or-break vehicle
