Thank you, [ Anav ]. It's all about scale. The more we can scale the more cars we make, the more volume we can spread the fixed cost. That's the cost of our investment, our incredible factory and facility, our long-term investments across the sale of each car. So how do we do that? We need to continue growth of Lucid Air sales right now. And right now, we're trending up 40% from Q1 this year relative to last year.
Now in a similar period, we see the sales of Tesla Model S down very, very considerably. We're outselling key competitors like Porsche Taycan. It's a about scale. And the next thing on that scale path is to get Gravity into production that will have a multiplier effect upon the market size and Gravity is scheduled for startup production late this year. And then beyond that, we need to get our midsized vehicle, our volume vehicle price at around, we believe, about $48,000, get that into production and is on schedule for production for late '26.
And I've got to tell you just how much our current finances are truly dominated by the major investments that Lucid's made for its future. Things like the expansion of our Arizona first factory, we've got nearly 4 million square feet in there. General assembly is ready. We're putting robots in now for building the body structure for Gravity. We've invested in a huge stamping line, we're integrating logistics, we're bringing a powertrain facility right under that one roof, and that's exactly where we're going to make the units that we supply to Aston Martin, all under one roof. And I think there are some photographs in the presentation, Maynard, and videos on our social media pages.
And then the other thing is the real big advantage that Lucid's got over everyone else is efficiency. And I don't say that as an engineer, I say that as a businessman. That efficiency means we can make cars with smaller batteries, with less batteries than anyone else. That means because the battery is the most costly part of an EV, we will be able to make cars more cost effectively and therefore, with more profit margin than anyone else, which leads perfectly to your role, Gagan.
