Lucid Motors (LCID) delivered the first Gravity Robotaxi EV to Nuro on Wednesday, marking a milestone in its partnership with Uber.
Lucid delivers the first Gravity Robotaxi EV to Nuro
In July, Lucid announced a partnership with Uber and Nuro to deploy 20,000 autonomous Gravity SUVs over the next six years.
The alliance is already on the move. Lucid announced that it delivered the first Gravity EV to Nuro on Wednesday, which will be used for the Uber robotaxi fleet.
Lucid’s electric SUV will be equipped with Nuro’s Level 4 self-driving tech, including the sensors and other hardware.
Starting in 2026, Uber aims to launch “20,000 or more” Lucid robotaxi’s over the next six years. The vehicles will join Uber’s network and will be available to use through the Uber App. To help kick-start the alliance, Uber is investing $300 million into Lucid.
Lucid said delivering the first vehicle, “marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter,” teasing that more is to come soon.
Although Gravity production at its plant in Casa Grande, Arizona, was limited due to supply chain issues earlier this year, Lucid said it has mostly resolved the problems.
Lucid’s interim CEO, Marc Winterhoff, said during an interview with Brew Markets on Tuesday that the Gravity has “so many orders” that the company will honor the $7,500 EV tax credit until the end of the year.

According to Winterhoff, Lucid doesn’t “want to tell order holders, you know what, you’re out of luck, we didn’t deliver in time.
Despite many of its luxury rivals, including Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW, pulling back on electrification plans, Winterhoff said Lucid will remain a pure EV company.
Winterhoff said the loss of the federal $7,500 EV tax credit will have a limited impact on sales due to Lucid’s market position and pricing.
