Lucid Group is down for the year. Headlines for electric vehicle (EV) stocks are being dominated by Tesla's robotaxi launch in Austin, Texas. Lucid Group (NASDAQ: LCID), meanwhile, had quietly lost nearly 25% of its value in 2025 before bouncing back this week on news of a deal with Uber.

With the ability to cover up to 450 miles on a single charge, the Gravity SUV is expected to function well as a robotaxi, since it will need less downtime for recharging. This way, vehicles will be available for riders more often. Tesla ’s own Model Y is being used as the brand’s robotaxi, but that has nowhere near the range of the Lucid Gravity.

Ross Gerber is pushing back against a partnership between rideshare service Uber Technologies Inc. and automaker Lucid Group Inc.

Lucid's new OTA update adds hands-free driving to Air and Gravity models with DreamDrive Pro, enabling Level 2 hands-free lane changes. The update, available July 30 for Air and 2025 for Gravity, requires drivers to initiate lane changes using the turn signal.
