"To celebrate our record-breaking, EPA official 520-mile range achievement - we're increasing total production of the fully-reserved Dream Edition to 520 vehicles. This means we'll be able to custom build and deliver the world's most advanced luxury EV to a limited number of customers on the Dream Edition waitlist," Lucid Motors announced.

It has also added a new Zenith Red colour, something customers had asked for. "In response to a wave of customer requests, we are excited to now offer both Dream Edition models in the stunning shade of Zenith Red. So Dream Edition customers can choose from Zenith Red, Infinite Black, Stellar White, or the Dream Edition-exclusive Eureka Gold. Regardless of exterior color, all Dream Editions come with our Santa Monica interior theme," the company added. 

In the US, the carmaker which is being led by Peter Rawlinson, the former chief engineer for the Model S at Tesla, is planning production preview events for customers, media, and other special guests.
