Lucid has announced that it will begin accepting orders for the Gravity SUV on November 7
Lucid has been teasing the Gravity SUV for several months, aiming to bring its own offering to the highly competitive segment. The company says it is designed to be “the best SUV ever,” aiming to bring all of the wants and needs of consumers into a single-vehicle design.
Peter Rawlinson, Lucid’s CEO, said:
“There is a growing anticipation for Lucid Gravity’s unprecedented combination of versatility, performance, design, and all-around capability. “This is uniquely enabled through our revolutionary technology. We look forward to bringing the world’s most advanced SUV to the world soon.”
Now that the vehicle is headed toward a scheduled production date of late 2024, Lucid is dropping some of the vehicle’s specs, along with new, never-before-seen images of the vehicle’s exterior, interior, and features.
Lucid Gravity Price
The Lucid Gravity SUV will start at $79,990, but this is for the Touring trim that will not enter production until late 2025. The initial vehicle trim, the Grand Touring, will be priced at $94,900 and will be available as production is planned to begin in late 2024.

Lucid Gravity Range
Lucid has long flexed its vehicles and their ability to hold high levels of efficiency and industry-leading range ratings.
The Gravity will be no different. While we do not have any details on efficiency due to no information on the vehicle’s battery pack capacity, Lucid does say that the vehicle will have a projected range surpassing 440 miles.
Lucid Gravity Horsepower
Just like the Air sedan, Lucid will offer a vehicle that has incredible power, acceleration, and performance metrics, with the first detail released being the horsepower. Lucid does note that the pack capacity will be “similar to that of the 2025 Lucid Air Grand Touring,” which is 117 kWh.
Lucid says the Gravity SUV will pack 800 horsepower in its Touring trim, bringing it into elite company as vehicles like the Nissan GT-R, Audi RS6, Lamborghini Sián FKP 37, and Koenigsegg CCR all also pack this much power.
Although it is not geared toward being a performance car specifically, the vehicle will have the capabilities, making it fully versed and well-rounded for customers.
Lucid Gravity Features
Not only will the Gravity have exceptional range and performance metrics, but it will also have the North American Charging Standard (NACS) from Tesla integrated directly into the vehicle.
It will also have up to 120 cubic feet of usable cargo space when the frunk is included. It will also pack an optional frunk seat that can accommodate two adults, but only when the vehicle is parked.
Lucid Gravity Production Date
Lucid is aiming for the production of the Gravity SUV to launch late this year, likely bringing first deliveries by January or February if all goes well.
Orders will open for the vehicle on November 7 for customers in the U.S. Current Lucid owners will have priority for taking delivery.

SpaceX Starship just nailed something it’s never done before
SpaceX’s Starship flew successfully Friday, landing both stages and deploying its first Starlink V3 satellites.
Starship’s thirteenth test flight delivered exactly what SpaceX needed with a clean liftoff, two successful stage recoveries, and the first real payload the vehicle has ever carried to space. Booster 20 and Ship 40 lifted off at 5:51 p.m. CT from Starbase, and by the time the mission wrapped roughly an hour later, both halves of the rocket had done exactly what they were supposed to do.
Booster 20 separated from Ship 40 a few minutes into the flight and stuck a controlled splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico about six minutes after liftoff. That is a meaningful turnaround from Flight 12 in May, when the booster lost several engines during its boostback burn before a hard water landing attempt.

Starship 40’s performance was arguably the bigger win. The vehicle deployed the first 20 operational Starlink V3 satellites Starship has ever carried, then flew a suborbital arc to a landing in the Indian Ocean that SpaceX commentator Dan Huot called the company’s softest splashdown yet. “This is a dream scenario for this team that’s trying to get this heat shield data,” Huot said on the live broadcast, according to Space.com’s live coverage. “I’m a little over the moon right now. Wow. Lucky number 13.”
Unlike the mass simulators SpaceX flew on Flight 12, these were production Starlink V3 satellites, meant to extend solar arrays and antennas and attempt to link with the broader constellation before reentering minutes later. Getting real hardware through a full deploy sequence on only the second flight of the V3 generation keeps Starship on schedule for the payload work NASA is counting on for future Artemis lunar landings.
What an awesome launch, really seems like everything went super well and it was all incredibly smooth.

The flight also arrives at a moment when SpaceX needed a win. SPCX has traded below its $135 IPO price since mid-July, as Teslarati reported when the mission slipped to Friday, and short interest has climbed to roughly a third of the tradable float. A clean flight will not fix a balance sheet, but it does answer the one question SpaceX absolutely needed answered this week: whether the fixes made after the July 16 abort would hold up under real flight conditions. They did, on both stages, on the first try after the redesign.
SpaceX has not set a target date for Flight 14, though the company has said it wants to push toward an orbital attempt on the next mission. After Friday, that goal looks a lot more within reach.
Tesla’s Supercharger Diner in Los Angeles dominated the company’s global usage rankings after just one year, proving the concept is more than just a one-off novelty location that will fade away.
The performance could incite the company to build more locations, something that CEO Elon Musk has hinted at for some time.
Tesla’s Supercharger Diner delivered 21.2 GWh of energy in its first year of operation, the company’s head of Charging, Max de Zegher, revealed on X. Of the top 10 most utilized Supercharger locations in Tesla’s global infrastructure, the Diner in Los Angeles was the most used by drivers, and it wasn’t particularly close:
Tesla Diner opened exactly 1 year ago. Inspiring that futuristic places like this exist.
It’s our highest usage Supercharger in the world: 21.2 GWh delivered in a year, 1.6k sessions/day.

On its launch day one year ago, nobody was too sure what the Tesla Diner would be about. It seemed like an interesting concept, and considering it had been in the works for years, it was a highly anticipated launch that many were looking forward to.
Based on its success, we could see additional Diners with Superchargers built throughout the United States, and potentially beyond. Musk has said on several occasions that the company would be willing to bring the Diner idea to more markets.
Tesla makes major change at Supercharger Diner amid epic demand
Of the markets that Musk has mentioned, both Palo Alto and Austin have come to be perceived as ideal selections. However, there are no concrete plans as of now to build new Supercharger Diners anywhere; the location on Santa Monica Boulevard will remain the exclusive spot to pick up Tesla-inspired eats, at least for the time being.
Tesla short sellers won big following the company’s massive fall on Wall Street after it reported subpar Earnings on Wednesday.
Tesla short sellers collected about $4.12 billion in single-day profits on Thursday, according to Bloomberg. Shares fell as much as 15 percent during Thursday’s session. It closed as one of the worst days for Tesla on Wall Street in the past three years.
Investors sold off the stock after Tesla said it would aggressively direct its spending toward AI and its Optimus robot project. The company had record revenues, which were driven by one of the strongest quarters in terms of vehicle deliveries in company history.
However, it missed EPS estimates by reporting just $0.33, a far cry from the $0.53 analysts expected.
S3 Partners reported that about 3 percent of Tesla’s outstanding stock is sold short. Managing Director at S3, Ihor Dusaniwsky, provided the short seller’s potential profit, as well as another figure: shorts have likely had paper gains of $8.92 billion this year, as Tesla shares are down 30 percent in 2026.
Tesla (TSLA) Q2 2026 earnings results: miss on EPS, beat on revenue
Tesla has burned short sellers many times in the past, but the company’s latest Earnings Call was a chance for those skeptics to taste some payback. Although the company gave some very transparent information regarding future projects, the rollout of Robotaxi, Optimus, and Semi, many investors took their profits on Thursday.
Notable short sellers like Michael Burry have been transparent about their skepticism around Tesla shares. Burry just revealed three weeks ago that he had opened up a new short on the stock, stating he shorted Tesla shares at $416.22. “Happy it jumped back to this level,” he said in a blog post.
At the time of publication, Tesla shares were down about 3 percent and the stock was trading at $309.92.
