Lucid’s more affordable Cosmos midsize SUV spotted testing next to Tesla Model Y

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.
