Lucid Motors plans to resume customer deliveries for its new all-electric Gravity SUV at the end of April. Getting the Gravity into customer hands is a big milestone for Lucid, whose success will hinge on being able to offer vehicle types popular with American drivers.
The Gravity is Lucid’s second vehicle and its first SUV after the Lucid Air sedan series. Lucid opened up orders for the seven-seater SUV in November 2024 and began first deliveries to employees, friends, and family in December.
“We nearly finished building all the vehicles that we wanted to build to put them into our studio and for test drives,” Marc Winterhoff, interim CEO of Lucid, said Thursday evening at a brand activation event in New York City. “And by the end of April, we will resume customer deliveries of the Gravity.”
Lucid employees who spoke to TechCrunch at the event — which featured a surprise mini performance from Cautious Clay — confirmed that the EV maker is busy ramping up Gravity production at its Casa Grande, Arizona factory. Barring any hiccups, that U.S.-based factory will no doubt be a boon for the EV startup amid President Donald Trump’s new 25% auto tariffs.
The $94,900 Gravity has an official EPA range estimate of 450 miles and the performance of a sports car, which the company attributes to its advanced battery technology that allows for a denser, lighter-weight battery that packs a punch.
“With the Lucid Gravity, you don’t have to compromise. You can have it all,” Winterhoff said.
