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.

Tesla Giga Berlin is still ramping production to meet Model Y demand: plant manager
Tesla Gigafactory Berlin has expanded to two full shifts, as per the facility’s plant manager, and a lot of it is due to Model Y demand.
Tesla Gigafactory Berlin has expanded to two full shifts, as per the facility’s plant manager, and a lot of it is due to Model Y demand. While registrations in some countries such as Sweden have fallen sharply this year, the company’s sales in other key territories have been rising.
Giga Berlin shifts to two shifts
Giga Berlin factory manager André Thierig told the DPA that the facility has been running two shifts since September to manage a surge in global orders. And due to the tariff dispute with the United States, vehicles that are produced at Giga Berlin are now being exported to Canada.
“We deliver to well over 30 markets and definitely see a positive trend there,” Thierig said.
Despite Giga Berlin now having two shifts, the facility’s production still needs to ramp up more. This is partly due to the addition of the Tesla Model Y Performance and Standard, which are also being produced in the Grunheide-based factory. Interestingly enough, Giga Berlin still only produces the Model Y, unlike other factories like Gigafactory Texas, the Fremont Factory, and Gigafactory Shanghai, which produce more than one type of vehicle.
Norway’s momentum
Norway, facing an imminent tax increase on cars, has seen a historic spike in Tesla purchases as buyers rush to secure deliveries before the change takes effect, as noted in a CarUp report. As per recent reports, Tesla has broken Norway’s all-time annual sales record this month, beating Volkswagen’s record that has stood since 2016.
-->What is rather remarkable is the fact that Tesla was able to achieve so much in Norway with one hand practically tied behind its back. This is because the company’s biggest sales draw, FSD, remains unavailable in the country. Fortunately, Tesla is currently hard at work attempting to get FSD approved for Europe, a notable milestone that should spur even more vehicle sales in the region.
Tesla is launching a crazy Full Self-Driving free trial, which will enable owners who have not purchased the suite outright to try it for 30 days.
There are a handful of stipulations that will be needed in order for you to qualify for the free trial, which was announced on Thursday night.
Tesla said the trial is for v14, the company’s latest version of the Full Self-Driving suite, and will be available to new and existing Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y, and Cybertruck owners, who will have the opportunity to try the latest features, including Speed Profiles, Arrival Options, and other new upgrades.
🚨 Tesla is launching a free 30-day trial of Full Self-Driving in North America for owners.
It includes every model, but you need v14.2 or later, and you cannot have already purchased the suite outright. https://t.co/8CNmxxOkVl
— TESLARATI (@Teslarati) November 27, 2025
You must own one of the five Tesla models, have Full Self-Driving v14.2 or later, and have an eligible vehicle in the United States, Puerto Rico, Mexico, or Canada.
The company said it is a non-transferable trial, which is not redeemable for cash. Tesla is reaching out to owners via email to give them the opportunity to enable the Full Self-Driving trial.
Those who are subscribed to the monthly Full Self-Driving program are eligible, so they will essentially get a free month of the suite.
Once it is installed, the trial will begin, and the 30-day countdown will begin.
Tesla is making a major push to increase its Full Self-Driving take rate, as it revealed that about 12 percent of owners are users of the program during its recent earnings call.
Tesla CFO Vaibhav Taneja said during the call:
“We feel that as people experience the supervised FSD at scale, demand for our vehicles, like Elon said, would increase significantly. On the FSD adoption front, we’ve continued to see decent progress. However, note that the total paid FSD customer base is still small, around 12% of our current fleet.”
Earlier today, we reported on Tesla also launching a small-scale advertising campaign on X for the Full Self-Driving suite, hoping to increase adoption.
Tesla Full Self-Driving warrants huge switch-up on essential company strategy
It appears most people are pretty content with the subscription program. It costs just $99 a month, in comparison to the $8,000 fee it is for the outright purchase.
Tesla Full Self-Driving has warranted a huge switch-up on an essential company strategy as the automaker is hoping to increase the take rate of the ADAS suite.
Unlike other automotive companies, Tesla has long been an outlier, as it has famously ditched a traditional advertising strategy in favor of organic buzz, natural word-of-mouth through its production innovation, and utilizing CEO Elon Musk’s huge social media presence to push its products.
Tesla has taken the money that it would normally spend on advertising and utilized it for R&D purposes. For a long time, it yielded great results, and ironically, Tesla saw benefits from other EV makers running ads.
Tesla counters jab at lack of advertising with perfect response
However, in recent years, Tesla has decided to adjust this strategy, showing a need to expand beyond its core enthusiast base, which is large, but does not span over millions and millions as it would need to fend off global EV competitors, which have become more well-rounded and a better threat to the company.
In 2024 and 2025, Tesla started utilizing ads to spread knowledge about its products. This is continuing, as Full Self-Driving ads are now being spotted on social media platforms, most notably, X, which is owned by Musk:
NEWS: Tesla is running paid advertisements on X about FSD (Supervised). Here’s an ad they started running yesterday: pic.twitter.com/IHVywLMyTd

Interestingly, Tesla’s strategy on FSD advertising is present in Musk’s new compensation package, as the eleventh tranche describes a goal of achieving 10 million active paid FSD subscriptions.
Full Self-Driving is truly Tesla’s primary focus moving forward, although it could be argued that it also has a special type of dedication toward its Optimus robot project. However, FSD will ultimately become the basis for the Robotaxi, which will enable autonomous ride-sharing across the globe as it is permitted in more locations.
Tesla has been adjusting its advertising strategy over the past couple of years, and it seems it is focused on more ways to spread awareness about its products. It will be interesting to see if the company will expand its spending even further, as it has yet to put on a commercial during live television.
We wouldn’t put it out of the question, at least not yet.
