Lucid Motors‘ website showed no available Gravity SUVs in its online inventory as of late Sunday, twenty-four hours after the EV maker first posted units of the new three-row model for immediate delivery.
On Saturday, several Grand Touring configurations — mostly five-seat variants priced from $96,550 before fees — were listed as “available in two weeks” across multiple states.
By Sunday evening, the inventory website showed no units available of the Gravity model across several states ahead of the expiration of the US federal $7,500 EV tax credit on September 30.
It remains unclear how many units Lucid listed for immediate delivery.
On Saturday, investors questioned on X and public foruns the appearance of Gravity in Lucid’s online inventory, noting the company is still working through a backlog of pre-orders.
The EV maker’s global head of communications Nick Twork clarified that the listings were “not a demand related development.”
He explained that the automaker built a small batch of vehicles based on component availability to avoid losing production slots during supply constraints.
“These units allow customers to skip the wait and take delivery immediately,” Twork wrote, adding that Lucid also works to match such vehicles with customers who already have orders in place.
In mid-August, the company introduced its own Lucid Gravity Advantage Credit, pledging to cover the same amount through year-end for customers who place an order by September 30 but lease between October and December.
Lucid said the program ensures customers do not lose the incentive because of production or delivery timing.
In a blog post, the brand’s VP of Revenue Erwin Raphael added that existing customers with pending orders would also benefit automatically.
Supply-chain issues slowed the Gravity’s ramp-up earlier this year as EV exclusively reported on April 2.
In early June, at the company’s first quarter earnings call, the bottlenecks were confirmed by the interim CEO Marc Winterhoff.
Over the last weeks, Lucid‘s management said it has since improved manufacturing efficiency and solved most supply chain bottlenecks and expects higher volumes in the second half of the year.
Cantor Fitzgerald forecasts 6,064 Gravity deliveries this year, out of 16,650 total vehicles.
