Context: A Critical Launch for Lucid

The Gravity SUV has faced a turbulent journey since orders opened in October 2024. Early Grand Touring deliveries were halted in early 2025 due to production issues but resumed by March. Despite sluggish initial sales (reportedly in the “three-digit range”), Lucid secured momentum through:

• A 20,000-vehicle robotaxi deal with Uber and Nuro, starting in 2026.
• Extending federal EV tax credits to address order backlog.
• Production ramping up at its Arizona facility.

The Touring trim’s launch targets a broader audience, critical for funding Lucid’s upcoming “Mid-size” budget EV.

CEO Perspective

Interim CEO Marc Winterhoff emphasized the SUV’s unique positioning:

“There’s not another SUV in its segment that combines this level of range, interior space, and driving performance. The Touring unlocks a new audience for Lucid.”

• Cockpit: Clearview digital display with Lucid UX 3.0
• Driver Assistance: Optional DreamDrive 2 Pro (32 sensors for autonomous features)
• Charging Network Compatibility: Over 25,000 Tesla Superchargers in the U.S.
