Lucid Motors has pushed back against a report from Automotive News claiming that its new Gravity SUV had only nine registrations in its first six months on the market. The publication, citing S&P Global Mobility data, said the figure was based on vehicle registration records.
Nick Twork, Lucid’s head of communications, told Electrek in an email that the claim is “completely inaccurate.” He added that “a quick review of social media postings from our customers shows that those numbers are simply not credible.” While Lucid does not provide a detailed breakdown of deliveries, Twork said Gravity deliveries are “well into the 3-digit range.”
The Gravity, introduced in late 2024, offers an estimated range of up to 450 miles per charge, up to 828 horsepower, and more interior space than a Ford Explorer.
Interim CEO Marc Winterhoff said on Lucid’s second-quarter earnings call that the company is “beginning to ramp up Lucid Gravity production” after resolving supply chain issues, including an industry-wide shortage of magnets. He noted that “our daily order rate has nearly doubled” since introducing Gravity models in showrooms and offering test drives.
Lucid produced just over 6,000 vehicles in the second quarter. Without rapid supply chain adjustments, Winterhoff said production could have been halted during that period.
He told CNBC the following day that Lucid now has the necessary raw materials, earth magnets, and licensing to meet demand for the rest of the year. The company has reduced its 2025 production target from 20,000 units to a range between 18,000 and 20,000, citing a changing market.
The automaker expects the Gravity to represent the majority of its production and deliveries in the second half of the year. Lucid also announced a partnership with Uber and Nuro to deploy 20,000 Gravity-based robotaxis over the next six years, with Uber investing $300 million in the project.
Meanwhile, Lucid’s Air sedan remained the top-selling luxury electric sedan in the United States in the first half of 2025, outselling the Tesla Model S, Porsche Taycan, and most gasoline-powered models in its class.
